Mutant MT1106USB > Reviews (2)

I purchased this head unit as a replacement for the factory fitted model, which lacked a CD player. The initial installation was quite easy, though the instructions given left room for improvement. My main criticism of this product would have to be, therefore, the standard of the documentation.

That said, the unit itself is of a very high standard. As well as supporting audio and data CDs, it has a built in removable MP3 player, which doubles as a security device. It has auxiliary input, and output for four channels at 40W RMS. The auxiliary input is located on the back of the head unit, so may require some customised wiring in the car to use it with an iPod, though this should not be difficult.

The support for different audio formats is also impressive, it claims to support MP3 and WMA. I haven't actually tested it with WMA, since none of my music is in this format, but I have used it successfully with both MP3 and Ogg Vorbis media, despite this not being one of the listed supported formats.

My main criticism of the features would be the lack of a USB or SD card input on the head unit itself. This is not a problem for me, as it has an auxiliary input for higher capacity iPods and such, and the detachable MP3 player can be plugged into a computer.

The appearance of the unit is quite attractive, with a brushed metal finish, and blue lighting.

All in all, this is an excellent piece if equipment, and I highly recommend it.
