Best stereo I have ever owned
So there is not many bad things about this in dash system! A couple I would look into, but they do not really bother me:
1) the folder change buttons surround the forward button, kinda odd- a slip of the finger can change your mp3 folder instead of the song, but thats not really hard to remedy
2) the ID3 tags are not completely displayed, which is ok. My previous MP3CD did not even have ID3 tags displayed, and I can see how 255 character displays could take the entire song just to display the name! Still, I should consolidate my song names in my collection. Not a hard task, and I can easily batch them if need be.

I bought this player primarily for the aux in (costs LESS than buying an aux adapter!) But I love the features! I do agree that the aux in is a little quiet, but that is because it is not powered as the internal signal is. Both do run through the internal amp, which send them to the speakers, obviously.

A simple remedy is to buy an input output mini preamp from Radioshack which I believe retails at $5-10 and has a built in speaker. The one I have uses either a 9V battery, or a 9V input from the car (must use a transformer with a plug converter). It has a 3.5mm input and a 3.5mm output. I can't seem to find them on the site, but they should have them in the store.

Some people need to learn how to remedy a situation BEFORE they complain due their inept abilities.

EXCELLENT BUY!! GREAT PRICE!

A great CD player for the price
I bought this unit about 3 weeks ago to replace the stock 15 YO basic cassette deck in my Ford Ranger but have kept the equally cheap stock speakers for now and didn't want to spend a ton of money on the head unit for it.

About a year ago I had been looking at replaciing it then and when I asked what lower end CD head unit would the guy recommend for it that would play CD's well and he recommended the $70 Panasonic which does not do MP3/WMA, nor had the Aux input feature and didn't have as powerful of an amp either for it's ability to play CD's well. Anyway, fast forward to about 3 weeks ago when I bought the C1305U and had my local car audio dealer install it and right from the get go, I was amazed at the improvement in sound, given the cheap speakers. Bass is still somewhat lacking but overall, the sound had more oomph to it and the bass does have a bit more of a definite kick though still doesn't get way down there. The largest speakers, which are in the rears are either 5x7 or 6x8 ovals but the overall sound is much clearer though still not the cleanest I've heard and that's a testiment to the unit's amp section, which was something I could never claim with the old stock head unit. Now I've heard better stock head units than what came with the Ford so I know that they are capble of being quite decent sounding to start with.

As far playing CD's, this one really does shine for both commercial and burned CDs I make. One thing to keep in mind is never try to overburn the CD's and stick to the specifications spelled out with WMA/MP3 data discs according what Panasonic recommends as well as never mix CD audio tracks w/ data tracks on the same discs either but you can mix MP3/WMA tracks on the same disc, but keep them in seperate file folders per Panasonic's instructions and you should have no problems. Now mind you, I have not tried to do an MP3 data disc yet so can't say how the player works with them, but with CD-DA discs, the player plays them supurbly. I have not tried the Aux in yet but good to note the level issue with it from other posts.

From the little I've used the FM tuner section, it seems very good and I only listen to 2 NPR stations and one Adult Oriented Rock station, when I listen to the radio at all, it's pretty much CD's these days.

When I had the stock head unit in the truck, I played CD's using a portable and a cassette adaptor, which helped some w/ the sound as CD's are much better than cassette but the bass was lacking and anything with heavy bass did not fair well at all as it felt trunkated to say the least, the mids and highs were OK at best but a bit tizzy in the higher registers but with the this unit, the speakers cleaned up considerably although the bass still is OK it's much better and does go a bit deeper but still lacking in true deep bass though, however, have to watch the volume w/ heavy bass as the unit's extra power may be too much for most stock speakers as you'll experience hard knocking w/ the smaller fronts in partucular found in most older cars and trucks which can lead to physical speaker damage over time.

Some quibbles, the buttons could be a bit bigger and some of the secondary function labels needed to be lit as well and I will agree the blue power button is on the bright side, but tolerable in my case.

Overall, I like the layout of the faceplate and wished it came equipped w/ the case for the faceplate like it's more expensive brethren do which is odd considering Panasonic recommends you don't touch the contacts. Makes no sense, really.

Overall, I really like this unit and am glad I bought it.
