Meets My Expectations
on August 8, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
Isn't meeting your expectations really the greatest thing we seek in a product? Most times it is for me. So these ear buds did that and I give them what I feel they deserve. I expected great sound, comfort, compatibility and quality and out of the box that is what I got.

Just what my Volvo needed
on June 25, 2015
Posted by: TheCommish
Verified Purchase:Yes
The installation folks told me before I made my radio purchase I would need this for a proper fit. It had to be ordered but it arrived two or three days before its projected arrival so I was happy about that.
My Volvo is a 1986 GLE so this mount mimics the face of the original radio somewhat but not exactly. However installation would not be possible without it as it holds the new unit securely and finished off the dash neatly.
It includes several other pieces that can be used for other interiors which I was not given back. I did not really need them but I assume those get sent back and repackaged into another "kit" and sent out again. That is the only way I see to justify charging $20 for a bunch of molded plastic that you only need one of to begin with. My suggestion is to better identify which pieces work with which vehicles and inventory them individually selling them for a more reasonable $4.99. Best Buy would have some happier customers or is that a goal?

Brought me into the 21st Century

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this system to replace my original stereo in a 1986 Volvo. The popping and cracking and cassette tape player weren't getting it any longer. Besides this may become my son's car so I was pretty sure he would want it changed too.
I have found the on/off function to be a little frustrating since it doubles as many of the controls do for other functions. Turning it off for instance and then back on shouldn't change the source but that happens sometimes. I have found you must be careful to fully depress and hold the control to avoid it advancing the source selection. A bit of a learning curve just as is understanding all of the tuning and settings available to you.
Fully capable of handling all ranges of music and making it sound the best through the preset equalizer settings is a nice feature and something I was missing with my old factory radio. Also the ability to play music from my iPhone is pretty cool. Yes, I know that technology has been around for a while but remember I upgraded from 1986. How many folks reading this even have a cassette tape much less a cassette player?
The Bluetooth connectivity is really nice. The volume goes down and the ring comes through and with a touch of the right control you can start your hands free conversation. Hang up and the music volume returns. I see this as much of a safety enhancement to my Volvo as an improvement of my music system.
Best Buy also installed this unit for me. I was very pleased with their work and their willingness to show me how my new device worked. A special mount was needed for my car and there was a special charge because of the difficulty of the installation. Seems there was a separate amplifier that requires either removal or bypassing with the wiring since the new radio has it's own. I bought the radio on sale and during the "free" installation promotion so while I kind of felt I was being taken advantage of with the extra charge I was happy to have something more modern in my car. I did check some Internet sites and I seemed to find find enough evidence that working on my old radio and the amplifier was not an easy task so perhaps the extra charge was justified.

Transition from Apple might be frustrating
on June 25, 2015
Posted by: TheCommish
Verified Purchase:Yes
This tablet replaced a 1st generation iPad so we had grown up with Apple's way of doing things and found out very quickly there are other ways to do things in the electronic world. Hard to determine yet if the non-Apple ways are better or not but the transition has been challenging at times.
I do not feel that I am in control quite the same as I did with my trusty iPad but over time I do think I will figure it out. The reasons we upgraded besides the obvious things of the iPad was so old it was no longer supported, it crashed regularly for no reason while viewing social media, it did not have a camera---you name it there were lots of reasons.
Are we glad we upgraded? You bet. Did I mention we did not have a camera on the iPad? Now we cast from the tablet, "Hangout" with friends and family, the wife catches up with friends on the social media sites and doesn't worry about crashing. The image quality is much improved, the lighter weight is also a plus. Maybe an upgrade and some time learning a new operating system is what you need too.
