I was looking for a replacement unit for my 1996 Bayliner boat. The factory unit stopped working and needed to be upgraded anyway. I was going to buy the "mechless" version of this unit, but decided to spend the extra few dollars to have the CD player as well.

The radio has good reception using the built in antenna on the boat. No static or fading. Works as expected.

I used a couple of different SD cards to test it. I filled up a 2GB and a 1GB card, both formatted to FAT32. Popped them in and hit the shuffle button. No issues, both played just fine. One card I set up with directories and was able to skip from one directory to another.

CD Player worked fine, although I will probably never use it.

Sound was better than expected in a boat at normal volume. Although when volume was high, it did get a lot of distortion. That may possibly be the fault of the speakers as they are 14 years old and have been exposed to the elements. I will be installing new speakers soon and will update this review if it sounds any better.

*UPDATE*

Added new speakers. Sounds much better. The old speakers were shot. Volume on this unit is still not great, but in a boat it is more than enough.

The term "marine" was not explained well on site. It means white, permanent undetachable face plate. Other than that, it fits perfectly into a standard in dash mount for your car. I replaced another after market CD player and wire configuration was identical. So pushing the same wires back into the same tight spot was the only real challenge. No holes to cut.

The 160 watts are more than adequate power. But the ability to handle SD Flash chips and USB and CD is extremely handy.

This is the 2nd Pyle in dash unit I have owned. The other car died before the Pyle did.

Great sound and nice features! Really like the different types of input ports on the front of the tuner. Plenty of watts to push 4 boat speakers. Only a few down falls screen is hard to read in really bright enviroment, the remote has to be pretty close to the radio to work (kinda pointless) and the connection harness in the back of the radio is to loose so it will cut in and out if you dont secure it.
