Great stereo!! 
I`ve bought two of these units one in my truck and one on my motorcycle. The CD player is very good it doesn`t skip when riding over bumps. But the best feature for me is the SD player, I can play downloaded music from my computer to SD cards and play them 2gb`s worth. You can also plug in your external device {I_POD, GPS etc}
Thanks Steve
Roadmaster: On the right road now 
Just purchased this VRCD400-SDU for $100 @ Target, and I am thoroughly amazed at the useful features it has. Gotta thumb drive with your brand new mp3s you just downloaded? Just plug that baby in, and in a few seconds, they're playing. SD card? sure! Ok, so what about my (P.O.S.) iPod? Yep, can even hook that up to the aux input (Although I'm unsure why you'd want to, throw that proprietary crap in the trash, IT SUX!!) :o) Anyway, unit sounds great, even on my little old stock paper cone speakers in my '88 Cadillac DeVille. If you want to get some quality and features you'll actually use for $100, go get this unit right now; you will NOT be disappointed. Ok, I'm going to play with it some more now!
Buggy Stereo - Your Mileage May Vary 
I purchased this stereo at Wal-Mart for $80. I really liked it at first, but then I began to notice some problems. Maybe others didn't have these issues, but this is my experience with the unit.
Pros:
- Great (almost) for the price.
- Loaded with great features.
Cons:
- When playing from an SD card the stereo would skip the 1st second or so of the song, and sometimes skip the last second as well. I tried different bit rates and even inserted silence at the beginning of the songs...didn't help.
- The clock kept resetting itself. Display was overall buggy...spelled song names wrong sometimes(?) - weird.
- Couldn't get enough high (treble) out of it.
- If you like a lot of bass you need to use the "loudness" feature, but then you lose some highs.
- VR3 website claims it has a graphic EQ. What graphic EQ? Bass and treble, baby, that's it.
- song titles and other texts scroll very s-l-o-w...
- Tech support is poor. Never got through to a tech, NEVER returned my calls, NEVER answered my emails...after 4 days!
Perhaps I got a buggy unit, but it felt cheap and unfinished.
Recommendations:
Pay an extra $30 or so and get the VR500CD-BT - returned my 400 and got the 500 instead. I LOVE it! Even if you don't need the bluetooth, it is a far superior model. Sounds a LOT better, doesn't skip beginning of songs, weird to navigate through the menus to get to some controls, but once you get used to it, it rocks! Better bass and treble. Text scrolls faster.
Perhaps others didn't have the same problems that I did, but the 400 let me down. I stuck with VR3 though and I love the 500CS-BT!
Amazing 
Hi! Normally some people buy things because some brands are famous, Sony, LG, Pioneer, but this radio is amazing and in a very good price, I save all my favorite music in my USB Memory and I enjoy it too much. I love this radio and I recommend it 100% percent.
Outstanding Product and Service 
I purchased one of these radios based on features and the extremely low rice. After using it I was amazed at how well it performed. Even with the factory speakers still in my car! There are many advantages that are not advertised. I am so pleased that I just bought another for our SUV and plan to buy another soon for our RV. Ordering was quick and easy. Shipping was immediate. The warranty is a bit scary but extended warranty of 3 years is available for under $10.00. I'd rather buy it and not need it than need it and not have it. $10.00 is cheap insurance. Anyway this is a fantastic stereo. You can't go wrong on this one.
