Great car radio for Sirius!
Pros
Easy volume buttons and ATT Easy-to-read display, lots of info
Cons
Buttons for station settings and menu are too small Difficult to figure out the remote
Recommended it?
Yes
Having received a subscription to Sirius as a holiday gift, I wanted to get a new head unit to replace my stock radio. I selected the KDC-MP225 because it had a CD player in the front of the radio (as opposed to having to open the faceplate to get to it). It was also reasonably priced and had a keypad remote control (so I don't have to arrow up and down for 100 channels). I found the buttons took some getting used to because the radio is far different from my original one, but it wasn't too hard to get. The biggest complaint I have is that most of the buttons are so small it's easy to hit the wrong one (especially in the winter, with gloves on). Also, it took a long time to figure out how to use the remote for the Sirius channels. Some of the functions (like setting the time) are a bit complicated, so I certainly don't want to lose the instruction manual. Overall, a great radio for Sirius--the display can show the title, artist, channel, station name, etc., and there's the ability to program 24 Sirius channels.
