What you get: 1 x Inphase head-unit 1 x Manual 1 x ISO lead 1 x Protective fascia case
I've had this head unit for a while now and it has certainly served me well. For the price I payed (£69.99) you certainly can not complain considering the amound of features you get with it:
The cd player itself was simple to install and the instructions which you get with it, provide you with the relevent information needed.
As for sound quality and power, in my opinion you will not be disapointed. Compared with my old factory head-unit in the corsa, the in-phase made my standard factory speakers sound so much better and the bass which was being produced was pretty good as well. As for connecting items such as amplifiers and speakers to this head unit, this task is also very simple. The back of the head unit has inputs for up to 4 channel amplifiers and also a sub out. The manual also provides you with the wiring diargram and tells you which is the wire for connecting the amplifier remote lead. I myself have connected an amplifier running 1 set of 6x9's and 1 set of components and I have to say they sound absolutely brilliant and were very easy to connect to the head unit itself.
The head unit itself has a nice clean and stylish look. The menu's are easy to nevigate through using the rotary wheel and you can set up the system to you own liking. One thing I will say however is that the rotary wheel can be quite sensitive and sometimes you go to turn the volume down and instead it goes up which can be slightly anoying.
I have myself used all the features on the head unit. The CD player is pretty much the same as any other CD player, until you start using MP3 CD's because the head unit has a search facility allowing you to scroll through different folders on the CD and also search for particular songs using the alphabet or track numbers. For example your MP3 CD may have different folders for different artists. You can use the search facility to scroll through the different folders until you find the artist you want. Then you push the rotary wheel in and then you would have all the songs by that artist. Obviously you would have to create the MP3 CD's yourself on you computer but that doesn't take to long.
The SD card and USB input are good if you songs are stored on these devices and you can also use the search facility which is good considering you can store thousands of songs on SD cards. The USB input is also suppose to support the IPOD and you are suppose to be able to play you IPOD through the head unit, whilst it charges. I personally have never managed to get this to work and it only seems to charge the IPOD and not allow it to play. This however didn't really bother me because I just used the rear AUX input to connect my IPOD.
Over all then this head unit is certainly great value for money. The features which you get with it are brilliant and when you consider that similar head units sell at over £100 pound more then this one is a steal. Like I said there are some small issues with it but these are by far out-weighed by the positives of it.
