Anyone use this am/fm radio?

Considering the price of original am/fm radios this looks like a pretty good deal. Anyone here have one yet?

That looks pretty cool - right now I have a Retrosound that I am lukewarm on, though I didn't have to cut the dash. This one looks a little pricey though - but if it's not junk, it's probably worth it.

The text says its an exact copy of an original with all modern internals plus the extras for sat, mp3 etc. Doesnt a stock radio like this go for around the same price?

Yeah, that would be my guess, but it's also original, and you're paying for originality, not sound, in that case. This looks original, but isn't, so for my money, it would have to have the performance as well to pay 600 bucks. My retrosound looks fairly original, but I can't get the flashdrive to work properly and I get all kinds of interference from the motor. I may just take it in somewhere to have somebody that knows what they're doing see if they can get it to work properly.
