Best car tech I've bought in a while!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm not a fan of built-ins, so when I got my Jeep Wrangler Unlimited a couple of years ago, I opted to stay with the basic non-nav entertainment system. Since then I had been using a combination of Apple Maps and Waze, but when you start venturing into unconnected territory, Apple Maps is useless, Waze and Google Maps have generic base maps unless I think ahead and download the maps ahead of time. Unfortunately, when you're in a hotel with really crappy wifi and flip-flopping 2G/3G/4G wireless connectivity, that goal is impossible to accomplish. In comes DriveSmart 61 - with detailed maps and pre-loaded destinations, I don't need to worry about having any sort of connectivity to navigate the back roads of Arizona. Because it has built in wifi connectivity, I can get maps and destinations without plugging it into a computer to update. As an added bonus, when tethered to your smartphone running the Garmin smartphone link, I can get real time weather and traffic alerts and re-routing.
The only complaint I have is with Bluetooth tethering - my Jeep sometimes goes crazy when answering calls using uConnect - with the GPS unit trying to take control of the call... sometimes. When it does, the quality of the calls are terrible.
After using it to navigate the streets of Los Angeles, and later the backroads of Arizona, I'm extremely happy with this purchase.
Note: If you decide to go with this unit, just be warned the initial map download will take a long time to complete including some firmware updates.

Poor quality

This cable is constructed poorly - I was using a high quality RCA video cable until I could replace it with a longer, dedicated subwoofer cable. After installation the sub started buzzing. After eliminating any possible sources of interference, the buzzing remained.

Add deep, low-frequency bass impact to your movies and music with Polk's PSW108. This subwoofer is powered by a high-current amplifier producing 50 watts RMS/100 watts clean, dynamic power for loud bass and a wide dynamic range necessary to recreate a life-like home theater experience. Features front-firing 10" composite polymer cone driver that adds depth to your audio tracks and provides more bass impact for your sound system. The cabinet is constructed from non-resonant MDF with internal bracing for superior bass clarity and accuracy. Features flexible inputs and controls like power-saver on/auto switch, independent volume control and a toggle phase switch on the back panel for a cohesive unit. Place the subwoofer on the same side of the room as your system's front speakers for the best performance

Great addition!

It's been a while since I've had a full audio set-up. After getting tired of the ok quality from Bluetooth speakers, I decided to put together a full 2.1 set-up with the additional purchase of the Polk T50. The addition of the subwoofer provides greater dynamic depth to the already fantastic Polk T50's.

Music makes me happy again
on September 11, 2017
Posted by: jeepster70
from San Jose, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
My music has depth and nuance again! While this unit will improve the quality of compressed music using built in processing, to really take advantage of this thing you'll need to rip CD's using uncompressed FLAC or download FLAC or better yet DSD files from a site like HDTracks.com to really hear the difference.
It's unfortunate that this basic unit doesn't come with "HiRes" headphones or earbuds. You're not going to hear any difference using your Apple earbuds or inexpensive headphones, but bumping up to higher quality headphones (I use Bose and Bowers and Wilkins), you'll be astounded by what's missing in common digital music formats and players.
I'd highly recommend this to anyone looking for better quality audio who's also willing to put in the extra effort to rip FLAC files from CDs, or purchase them from a HiRes service... otherwise, other than the cool interface, you're not going to get much out of this unit.

Overall, great BluRay player and streaming device
on August 28, 2016
Posted by: jeepster70
Verified Purchase:Yes
Having had an older model I like, picking this low-cost streamer was a no brainer. One thing that would be great is if device manufacturers would go with a standardized platform like Roku, Google, Apple or even Microsoft. The only overall disappointment with this device are the limited number of streaming apps and the relatively poor performance of the user interface and the apps as a whole. Once you get past the pokey UI, the player does the job.

Enjoy outstanding color and rich visuals with this Sony 40-inch LED TV. A pair of HDMI inputs allow you to connect up consoles and DVD players so that you can enjoy full HD resolutions from your media, and the Motionflow XR 120 technology in this Sony 40-inch LED TV reduces blur for clear pictures.

Great television for the price!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was looking around for a television for our family room. After comparing the image quality of various brands including Samsung and LG, I went with Sony because of the fantastic display quality.
The only 3 things I have to complain about are:
1. Only 2 HDMI ports - 3 would have been perfect. 2 too few.
2. On TV controls are integrated into the I/O module at the back and can be difficult to reach.
3. As with audio quality for most televisions these days, auto quality is functional but poor.
