Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had this for about two weeks and here are my impressions so far:
Good:
1. Radio - nice looking interface, clock displayed at all times. FM1, FM2, FM3, AM1, and AM2 preset pages.
2. SD card - remembers position of song/audio file on power down then power up. Folder structure makes sense and music, photos, and videos are parsed out by the unit. On song playback, the artist, song title, album name, and file name information scrolls across the top of the screen.
3. Has both front aux 3.5" (for A/V and straight audio) and front mini USB ports. Also, has rear USB and rear A/V input. (haven' tried them yet.)
4. Bluetooth - works very well. Connects instantly when I start the car and disconnects instantly when I turn off the car. Easy to pair a phone. Music (and all audio from my phone) automatically is sent via Bluetooth to the Lanzar unit.
5. Screen - Good resolution screen and it doesn't reflect sunlight too badly.
Bad:
1. Radio - Can't figure out how to get RDS (Radio Data Service) to work. I set RDS to "ON" but there's not station/artist/music information displayed.
2. Customer Service - sent an email and left a voice mail two weeks ago. No response yet.
3. DIVX movie playback - watched a movie, got a phone call on bluetooth, and after the call, the movie started from the beginning (not good if you've gone through quite a bit of the movie already.)
4. Clock - clock only shows up constantly in Radio mode. For all other modes, you need to push the CLK button on the remote and then the time shows briefly then will disappear.
5. On two occasions, screen has gone on the fritz. Issue was resolved by powering down then powering up the unit. This also happened on another cheaper unit (different brand, model) I had and that unit's screen eventually died completely. Keep fingers crossed that the unit works for a long time.
6. Need for remote - some functions that I would use more often, namely "RANDOM" and "CLOCK", can only be accessed via the included remote. Would have been nice to do that onscreen.
7. No midrange adjust - While you can select different EQ presets (Rock, Pop, Classic, etc.), sound enhancements (Loud, DBass), and tweak Treble and Bass, there's no midrange adjustment.
8. Screen - Haven't found a way to calibrate the touchscreen. My screen seems to register buttons a bit higher than I'd expect (ie: I need to push on the screen on a location a little higher than I thought I would have.)
Have not yet tried:
1. Whether unit will remember location of movie played on SD on power up or interrupt by phone call.
2. Playing movie DVD's.
3. Front and rear inputs (A/V and USB).
Overall, this is a good unit for the money. Not sure who the OEM manufacturer is (most likely a company in China) and I'm sure there's a matching Pyle unit out there. Comes with a 1 year warranty and supposedly there's in-country tech and customer support. I'll try to contact Lanzar again.
