What I am finding is th USB does not work well with any volume of data. Seem that once presented with much more than 1GB it gets very slow in loading, but does work, can't get it to work at all wit 16gb. Everything else is working fine, except the iPod function, can't get that working at all, which I find this unacceptable. I have written the seller to see what if anything can be done.

While it's a GREAT looking unit, it doesn't perform anywhere near where it should, with external data (MP3s) or a newer iPod. I may end up putting the JVC Head unit back in and sticking the Garmin back on the window if this can't be resolved.

Update: The seller is now telling me in only works with iPod's made prior to 2009, but the listing states all version.

Thanks for the update as I was about to get one of these however with the issues for Ipod/phone and other items you have listed I will look elsewhere. Thanks.

Sorry to hear you aren't too happy with it. I honestly expected that there'll be a few quirks here and there (WinCE), and I didn't really have much expectations with this HU based on the features it has for the price I paid.

I just use the microSD mainly for MP3's and movies -- works fine for my needs. I also sometimes just stream my iPhone 4 over Bluetooth and that part seems to work for me as well.
