Summary:
Do not buy Panasonic car audio systems. Repeat; do not buy Panasonic car audio systems. Panasonic car audio systems suck wookie! I had this thing for 6 months and have had problems with it the last 3 months of use. It will automatically cut off when cold. Additionally, when I loaded my CD the player would attempt to eject the CD through the detachable face plate. WTF! Before I had this I owned an Alpine cassette player that worked problem free for 7 years. I will never touch one of their CD players and will never listen to a sales person's opinion again. I only gave it one star because I could not select 0 stars. Panasonic 1, Humans 0.

Strengths:
None.

Weaknesses:
It tried to crush my CD's bu ejecting them through the detachable face plate.
