This is pretty cool if you want to play mp3's in your car right from your USB or SD card memory stick:

It's going for $79.99 at walmart, just look for model # vrcd400sdu and it's much better compared to the best buy version. It's cheap enough that if it gets stolen, it isn't the end of the world.

Let me know if you have any questions with it. RMS isn't mind blowing so I would use it with a AMP for best results, but right now my amp is disconnected and it sounds easily as good as your sony / pioneer / etc.

It has 2 pre-amp outs and it lights up a VERY nice blue.... none of that 2-tone or multi-colored garbage. It just so happens that my cheap 1GB USB flashdrive above, totally matches the blue so that's cool (the USB blinks blue when it's hooked up). I LOVE the quick volume feature, and the remote is laid out very nice (basic and it doesn't try to be so small that the buttons are too close together).

FM reception is definately improved vs previous model (based on reviews) and (HUGE IMPROVEMENT) it DOES pick up at the track where it left off (both CD and USB) as long as you haven't ejected anything. This is a huge / key improvement over previous models that would re-scan and start from the beginning again.

This model WILL accept up to a 2GB USB flashdrive and I'm pretty sure the USB memory sticks are cheaper vs SD cards but the SDcard slot is cool too.

The only downside I've noticed so far, is that it doesn't scan from MP3 folder to MP3 folder as nicely as I would like, but it does have a "10 down" / "10 up" option (in addition to the track skip) that lets you skip 10 tracks up / down. I'm actually still working on the best folder layout on my USB....

I have a couple 256mb flash drives, I'll probably just use those since they will work on it. And then I have about 200 burnt CDs that I made back in my younger days, heh.

So would you suggest just putting everything in one folder then? For ease of navigating that is..

Also, would it be worth just taking to audio playground and paying them 20 bucks to mount/install it? I suck with stereos..

I would return it if you care anything about sound quality

Wrong.. you don't even know what speakers / amps he's working with... so think again. HU is almost never the problem... not to mention that we're talking MP3's here. It's a DAMN good deal for the obvious cheap price. It BLOWS AWAY previous $200 - $300 MP3 HU's I've owned (and had stolen).... period.

It has 2 pair RCA.. I installed it so fast I forget if it has seperate mono subwoofer out

Ironically, I actually owned 2 Kenwood KDC-MP series HU's before this (among others) and this easily compares but again.. when it comes to bang for buck it blows them away... I mean we are talking about $79.99... it's insane.

SQ is fine... skipping on scratched CD's is the usual issue I run into on HU's and it hasn't been a issue.

In all fairness, Kenwood did have some of the best value MP3 HU's at the time....

Finally got it:

Press the F/PS Button twice and the display will show “FILE SCH”. Press the SEL Button to enter the root folder of the disc. Use the VOL +/- Button to choose a folder in the root folder, then press the SEL Button to confirm. The selected folder will be opened.

They should've called it DIR SCH or FOL SCH IMO

I guess I like keenwood for there mosfet amps in there radio, but since Im not even going to be using my amps in my radio it wont make any diffrence reallly

Going with
Four 6.5" Alpine
Two SPX-17MB
Two SPR-17LS
Also Two 6x9's
SPR-69LP

And one Type X 12" Sub

And the Amps will be Infinity Reference 5761a, and one Infinity Reference 1211a

She should rock hard

But one thing i hate about Kenwood is they write everything so damn tiny that you cant read it at night and ussually spend 5mins trying to remeber what damn button does what

[boyscouT™]

wow strong sound

I generally find alpine to be overpriced... but yeah you are on a totally different level. Infinity is some good stuff if you can find a deal... if you are ever on a budget (strictly from a bang-for-buck perspective) check out Phoenix Gold... even their subs.
