It doesn’t read through the usb, but the Bluetooth works so that’s alright. The sub works enough to charge so that’s ok.

Bummer is I have to stare at an old new beetle, but then again I barely look at it. The pocket is nice as the Equinox doesn’t really have a spot to store a phone.

Around 2005 Chevy integrates the chime to go through the stereo or front speakers instead of a stand along chime. That’s the expensive part, as the bracket and adapter / wire harness was $85.

That dash needs a good clean

Good god, man. Are you an animal? Clean that dashboard! Or not. You do you.

That’s likely left over from when my wife was driving it. It is now taking over DD duties from the metro. I drive to work & drive it home. I just need to play somethings from my phone.

Place to place phone was needed more than more radio space.

Ehh, $48. I'm not expecting much. I sure didn't buy it from the crutchfield mag.

Sneeze on your dash much? Invest in a Kleenex box.

That’s a really funky dash design. The transmission gear lights located there instead of the transmission itself.

Right under the shifter is the 4 window buttons, that took a long time to get used to.

USB probably works with MP3s on a thumb drive

Yeah that’s what it was designed for I think. But my older Sony will play pod casts & music through the usb, I assumed this would.

I just have to get my gigs of music on a SD card.

I think that's coffee, I cover my sneezes, mostly.

Yeah, that’s what makes these so cool. The controls are so weird.

Yeah, it died a long time ago. I’ve been going on without a radio for some time. I’m trying a Soundstream $35 Unit. Same features.... maybe better? Time will tell. I knew better than order BOSS...

I’m both amused and a little worried you remembered to somehow come back to this

I had to let you know you were right, I’ve been thinking about it ever since it quit 6-8 months ago. New post up, next cheap stereo.

Will it last...?
