Excellent radio!

Posted by: Jaws3810

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had previously installed an aftermarket radio in my truck so I could get satellite radio, but after using it for a few months I hated the controls and display. So I set off to find a better unit and finally settled on the Kenwood DDX-371. So far I absolutely love it! It does everything I want my radio to do, and the sound quality is great even thru the factory speakers. I can see the satellite channel number, channel name, artist, song title, clock, etc. all on one screen. The interface is fairly simple and easy to navigate. If I had to give any criticism on the unit, it would be the display graphics. The quality of the display is fine, but the graphics look like they came out of the 90's. I would also ding Kenwood on not supplying an auxiliary audio cable. They hardwire a USB cable out of the rear of the unit, but if you decide down the road to purchase the Kenwood cable to interface with the iPhone, you have to tear the unit out of the dash to plug it in. It just seems if you find it prudent to supply the USB cable, the audio cable should be wired in as well.

Good camera for the price

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is an easy to install camera that works well. It works very well under normal light conditions, such as daylight, but in low light conditions the image is grainy, but generally usable. I have found, however, in areas with no ambient lighting, the picture is so grainy it's not very useful. But for the price you shouldn't expect OEM quality. For what I need it for, this camera is excellent and well worth the price and effort to install!

Excellent USB hub for the money

I needed a couple USB hubs for my work computers. These hubs have been performing flawlessly. If you need a powered hub to expand the ports on your computer, this is definitely a good deal.

Logitech Wireless Mouse Marathon M705 lets you power on... and on. It uses less power than comparable wireless mice from other companies, so you'll go up to three full years between battery changes.¹ And it uses a tiny wireless receiver that stays plugged in to your computer, so your mouse is ready to go-whenever, wherever, and for as long as it takes. Plus, hyper-fast scrolling means you'll fly through long documents to find what you need in a flash. Advanced Optical Tracking means you'll get smooth, responsive cursor control. And the sculpted, right-hand shape means you'll be as comfortable finishing up as you were getting started.

Finally a wireless mouse that works!

Verified Purchase:Yes
For the longest time I couldn't find a wireless mouse that worked reliably. When I purchased my last laptop I decided to once again give it a try. I selected the Logitech Marathon M705 because of the programmable buttons that mouse offered. And to my surprise this mouse works flawlessly! I like it so much I purchased a second one for my work laptop. And battery life is amazing, I've been working all year so far on the original batteries. You won't be disappointed!

HP ink cartridges are great
on September 21, 2014
Posted by: Jaws3810
from Pennsylvania
Verified Purchase:Yes
Generally HP ink cartridges are very good, rarely do I get one that doesn't seem to work. This cartridge was no exception, it works great. I bought this for a printer my daughter uses at college, and it provides great looking documents for her. I do wish though these cartridges held a little more ink, it can get a little expensive if you do a little printing.

Very reliable cable, perfect length

Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed extra data/charging cables for my new Android phone.The Insignia cable fits the bill perfectly. The USB & micro-USB connectors look and feel heavy duty enough for daily use. Good length if you are trying to reach a receptacle that's not close to your night stand.

Perfect for my new HTC

Verified Purchase:Yes
I moved away from the iPhone and purchased an HTC One with expandable storage. So I purchased this PNY micro SD card that came with the regular size SD adapter. It's been flawless! I've stored all my photos and music on the card, as well as any of the apps that allow for storage on the card. Compared to other brands the price of this PNY was far less, and the more expensive brands didn't supply the adapter. Great bang for the buck!

Alpline quality, but not user friendly
on April 9, 2014
Posted by: Jaws3810
from Pennsylvania
Verified Purchase:Yes
OK, I've enjoyed Alpine car stereos for years and this one is no exception. Tuner, SiriusXM, Bluetooth, CD, auxiliary and USB inputs allow you to listen to just about any source of music with Alpine's great sound!
However the CDE-SXM145BT does leave some big room for improvement. Because they do so much with this little package, it becomes harder to use because most of the buttons have multiple functions, depending on what input you're set to. You will have to review the user manual to get used to navigating around the receiver. It took me several days to realize I could display the SiriusXM channel name!
My biggest complaint with this receiver is the display. I primarily listen to satellite and I'm used to the display on the old Sirius Starmate receiver I used for years. The size of that display is about identical to the Alpine CD-SXM145BT. The old Starmate display gave you 4 lines of information, including time, channel name, artist and song names, preset number, etc. Everything was on the display at the same time. The Alpine, however, gives you only 2 lines of display. The top line shows the Bluetooth symbol and approximate battery life of your phone, if it's paired to the radio. The bottom line, in huge font, allows you to cycle through several things by pressing a tiny little button. It can display preset number/SiruisXM channel number, channel name, artist name, info, category and finally the time. There's no reason at least the time can't be displayed along with the Bluetooth and battery symbols.
Phone calls made thru the Bluetooth connection are excellent, people I'm talking to don't know I'm using the radio. I haven't yet, however, found an audio adjustment for the phone calls. The receive audio uses whatever sound settings you have selected for playing music via the Bluetooth connection, so it winds up being a little too bass heavy. There may be a way to adjust this, but I haven't found it yet.
So yes, I like this radio and I'm happy with my selection. I know there are other receivers out there that offer solutions to my issues but at a much higher price, but the best bang for the buck is still going to be this Alpine CDE-SXM145BT.

XM Presets??
The product description lists how many AM and FM presets you can have, but how many XM presets can you have in the memory with this unit?
There are 3 banks of 6 presets each, so you have 18 satellite presets.
