Mine is MDLP, that's why I got it. I looked over Sony, Pioneer and Kenwood. This one seemed to be the best. I've had it a week. So far so good. Just sick of CD's. If it sucks, I'll be the first to let you know. As I said earlier... I'd never buy a sony cd headunit. I agree. Sony is overpriced, but if it holds up, it'll be worth it. btw... did your buddy with the ranger run a lens cleaner in it ever?
