I just had this CD player fitted into my car - and wow - am I impressed!!! It has an excellent anti-theft deterrent where the face flips over when the car is turned off (so that it looks like you haven't got a stereo in your car) and then I love the way it flips over when the car is turned on!! It has loads of features, such as you can name discs, change the colour of the display, and the bonus - it looks really superb! I have had Kenwood before, and I was impressed then - WELL DONE KENWOOD!!! I can't rate this product enough! :-)
