HD worked fine with the exising camry windshield antenna, at least in Chicago and suburbs (which I was worried about). Tuning to HD stations is a bit slow and clunky (up arrows to reach second station for a given broadcaster, so you can't just scan the channels. programming the channels is so unintuitive you have to go back to the manual more than once to remind yourself how to do it, but in the end it works fine.Rating: 4 / 5 works just fine.

There’s also an Ipod (MP3) input on the face, and it plays MP3′s so you’re set for the 21st century.

It can do bluetooth, but you’ll need an adapter (all head units do!).

I’d say if you’re looking for a decent HU…consider this unit!

3.5 out of 5!
