   Amazing sound quality, good product but not without some flaws.

   For the pricepoint you will not find another head unit with as many options, toggles, tweaks or feature set. I debated for a long while with either Alpine, Clarion or Pioneer. I wasn’t disappointed with the KDC-X993.

   The good: X’Over feature is amazing for optimizing speaker and amp frequency response. Built-in EQ offers good fine tuning for the last touches. Excellent expandability – I have both the mini-din Aux option, an iPod video hooked up and an iPhone 3GS able to stream Pandora via bluetooth. Coupled with CD and MP3 disc capability and your music options are endless. CD SNR reminded me why lossy/compression based files like mp3/wma can be such a disappointment sometimes.

   The mixed: Bluetooth performance was great on a Blackberry Tour and Blackberry Curve. The stereo/A2DP performance of the iPhone 3GS can border “okay” to mediocre. There will be random skipping on the ipod function or Pandora. You can try placing the phone in various locations, it seems to affect reception quality. Again, this is a fault of the iPhone, not the receiver.

   The bad: As you may have read, the UI of the receiver could have used a lot of help. The knob management is cumbersome at best. It takes some getting used to. There are some things that you won’t be able to do while driving. A thorough reading of the manual is also highly suggested as there are so many tweaks that can leave you amazed or disappointed with the head unit’s sound quality. They should have also added buttons for preset stations on the Radio function as well as an attenuate function on the head unit face. The remote is the only place there is an attenuate function.

   Overall I was happy with the product. I haven’t had any glare issues other owners have talked about. Using the built-in amplifier, sound was superb. Using all external amps, it was awe-inspiring. I have the product paired with Polk Audio db6501 components and db651s coaxials (also purchased from amazon).

   I realy like this unit. To me it was easier to crash and burn through the features and use the book for reference at first. Once you understand how it works it is easy to use. Blue tooth is awesome and works great with my blackberry curve. I love the way the unit interfaces with the audio of the blackberry. I have yet to hook up the HD tuner. My only comment is that I cannot set up the date on the unit. I have not called the tech line to see if it is a malfuntion. Don’t realy care.
