Thanks to the DEH-50UB, you can connect your iPod directly to the tuner via an optional cable and listen to a whopping 4 x 50 W of sound through the car's sound system! This car radio charges your iPod when its not in use, meaning you can keep your favourite music player fully charged during those long car journeys, and its equipped with a USB port and an auxiliary input for connecting other devices. The DEH-50UB is also compatible with MP3, WMA and WMV formats and displays up to 16 characters at a time, while its rotary controller works like a joystick to give you total control over all the functions you need.

Firstly however, it was pretty easy to install - The only problem I had was getting the frame which is used to hold the unit when it is installed off the unit. (It is attached around it when it comes in the box). I got it off with a screwdriver, but realised afterwards that it can be done easily with tools which are supplied specifically for this job. Doh! As I said, I have had no prior experience with installing these, but was happy to find that my Corsa had just one plug which went straight into the back of the unit; and one arial. I did have to purchase an adapter for the arial, but you can get these from any electronics or motoring supplier really for around £2.50. Finally, the iPod connection is fantastic - although I wasn't sure that it would originally, I can confirm that it works with the Apple iPod Touch, with song titles, artists and everything working as expected. The navigation through your music is just like it is on the click-wheel iPods. The sound is much, much better than the bog-standard tape/radio combo which came with the car 12 years ago! It really is fantastic! Finally, the design of the product is great, and it feels pretty well made. The box that the fascia can be stored in when you lock your car up has a few foam pieces in it which stop it from bouncing around. My only small gripe with the product ... Read More Rating:  - Great, but flawedI purchased this headunit mainly for the USB capabilities, to then find that they are vastly flawed. For example, you take your USB stick, and upload some albums onto it. One folder for begins with the letter "S" and the other begins with the letter "V". If, two days later you want to upload an album beginning with "S" you'll be forgiven for thinking it is simple. For when you transfer the "S" folder over, this gets placed at the end of the list as the headunit sorts the folder list via time and date as opposed to character! This means if wish to keep your folder-hierarchy in alphabetical order therefore making it easy to search your MP3s you have to transfer all the files over to your computer that are on the USB stick. Then add the one folder to this list, and re-transfer everything over...a very time consuming task if you are using an 8GB USB flash drive! You can probably get around it by creating folders labelled A-Z, and then only re-transferring the artists that you are effecting into these folders, but you shouldn't have to! It is such a shame, as it is a very beautiful unit, CD player works perfectly, radio is crystal clear, the multi-function wheel makes it easy to change radio station/tracks while you keep your eyes on the road, the USB load up time is great, and would in all respects be worth 4.5/5 or 5/5, but for the very obvious design flaw that they've let creep in I've had to knock off 2 stars.
