Dual XDM-A7715 200-Watt CD/MP3/WMA Receiver with Motorized Detachable Face Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this unit because I saw XDVD8130 and said to myself, "I don't need a DVD player in my car", As cool as it was I wanted an MP3 disc player and found this.

This unit is packed with a lot-O stuff!
I haven't tried the Bluetooth yet because I needbuy the module separate, but answering and placing calls through the stereo and speakers is cool hands down! b(^-^)d

(UPDATE!) I got the BT60 for this. It works quite well and calls are very clear on both ends. Just connect the add-on turn the radio on, pair with your phone and then every time you turn on the radio the bluetooth will connect. Place or receive calls through 2-4 speakers. The only place where this lacks is that you have to activate voice-dail on the phone, the number pad on the remote only goes from 1-6???, and dailing a number from the face plate is not fluid.The remote is very handy with 90% of full unit command...Ok, maybe 95%.
I love the accessories on this unit, 3 pair-O RCA out, f,r,sub Audio in and Ipod in...niiiice (^-^)

This unit is really, REALLY easy to install, I put it in before my half hour break was up.

When opened, the display will greet you with good morning or what ever, but it's a tad obstructed by the face and in the day you may get glare, the glare could be remedied easy though. This unit looks busy from the images but when you get it in your hand its very tame and spell't out especially after reading the instruction book.

My only real concern is the installation and removal of the face. It's a bit awkward. You cannot just slide or simply clip in and go with this and removing is just grab and pull down...! I can see in a few years this wearing out and or breaking. I would rather a clip in and push button release system. Otherwise, the controls on the faceplate kinda remindes me of a cross between a DJ turntable and a game controller. The knobs on the right and left are like mini analog sticks like on a PS2 control.

The sound that this unit puts out is crisp as your speakers can handle. When you connect and activate the subwoofer option it will cause bass boom that shake the crumbs out of you carpet and seats... So I adjust that to level 1 because it will start at 6.

It easily goes from one type of disk to another without a hiccup and even select up to 150 MP3 tracks and FOLDERS!?! SOOOOO HOTTTT

I had a little problem shortly after installing this where it wouldn't skip to the next track on a regular CD... BUT! I called Dual, described my problem the person knew just what was wrong and had me power reset the unit then eveything was fine.

This is a great unit for the price for all it does.
