Everything! Radio barely pulls in stations, factory head unit was much better.

Summary:
It´s a good option to have cd player + where to listen to your old tapes. Also allows you to hook up a changer.

Strengths:
Easy to use, good looking. Picks up even weak radio stations.

Weaknesses:
The remote is infrared (it doesn´t work when something is in between) the preset equalizer only controls bass, treble and loud. The cd lens broke after 13 months of very ocasional use. You have to turn to much the volume knob to increase it.
