Ok, so I did a bit of research before buying this receiver and I finally decided to get it. The selling point for me was the integrated bluetooth, thusly no need to buy any further bluetooth add-on. And also the iPod integration was important and it seemed this receiver made it easy. Ok, so I received it and had it installed and the first impression was that this was one really cool receiver. So this is when it gets frustrating. I didn’t have an iPod so I went over to my local Best Buy and picked up a new 6th generation 80gb iPod. I connected it and found out that the video button on the Clarions screen did not show up to watch the movies stored on the iPod. I went to the Clarion website and found absolutely no answers as to why this happened. So, to make this already long story short, I found out that only the 5th generation iPod works on this system. So if you are considering buying this receiver I highly recommend it and I would have given it 5 stars instead of 4 had it not been for that whole iPod situation I went through. Now, it works great, the bluetooth feature works great, both for calls and streaming audio. And that’s all.
