Default What about this stereo?

Do ya'll think this would be a pretty good stereo to put in my car?

ilo stereo



Specs:
  • 2" TFT-LCD Display
  • XM-Ready AM/FM Tuner
  • SD Card slot reads JPG images and MP3 files
  • Plays CDs and MP3-CDs
  • 160W Total Power
  • Detachable Face Plate provides security
I'm not wanting the best system in the world, but I want a good stereo.

What's your opinion?

The link takes me to the home page. What brand and model number is that? Also how much were you looking to spend, and what features do you want.

And Walmart :hsugh:

"The ilo CA3000V features a 2" TFT-LCD display and an SD Card slot for playback of digital image and music files. Plays MP3-CDs and supports XM Direct Tuner (sold separately) to display XM satellite radio programming information.

* 2" TFT-LCD Display
* XM-Ready AM/FM Tuner
* SD Card slot reads JPG images and MP3 files
* Plays CDs and MP3-CDs
* 160W Total Power
* Detachable Face Plate provides security"

I don't see much on here besides the 2in screen ... which is TINY for car use. It'll be like reading the back of a digital camera from 18 inches away.

Then I would much rather spend the money on a better head unit. Something from a more reputable maker such as Alpine or Pioneer.
