I've got it, and it's the single best mod I ever did in the car, no joke. I've got the system hooked up with a 40 GB HD, and it connects to my kenwood deck with RCAs. I MPEG at a fairly high quality (roughly 40 megs per CD) and you really can't tell the difference from the MP3's to the CD. I NEVER use my CD player. The sound quality is good via the RCAs (don't use an FM Modulator), the only complaint would be the low voltage unit does give some whine at low volume...but nothing worth crying about. I've had the unit in for over a year with no problems, I even keep it in at the track. PM me if you have any specific questions.

TJ that is a SWEET unit. I might get one myself. I'd have to take out the 6 pack but it would be worth it.

Dr. J... you need to watch out. TJ is a more experienced and cunning PW than you.

it's definately a cheaper solution that some of the other decks out there. the only thing that made me turn away from the system was the display.. i'm going to probably get the Pioneer DEH-P90HDD.. pricey though

Mount the NEO in the trunk, or behind a seat and then buy the remote LCD.

I've got one too, but haven't had as much luck as Wes. Infact, the thing is sitting on my floor collecting dust. I've got the Sony MP3 changer now so I doubt it'll be doing duties in the car again. Might set it up in the lounge room.
