Reviews of the Panasonic CQ-C8305U

CNET Review
The Good: The Panasonic CQ-C8305U delivers great sound quality and lots of audio-tweaking functions. It provides good digital audio support for compressed audio discs and a user-friendly--if basic--optional iPod control interface.
The Bad: The CQ-C8305U's grainy full motion display is as cheesy as it is useless. The system's optional clunky Bluetooth interface delivers very poor call sound quality.
The Bottom Line: The Panasonic CQ-C8305U performs the basic functions of a digital-age car stereo well with great audio-tweaking options, intuitive file and folder navigation, and a worthwhile iPod interface. The stereo's full-motion color display adds little to its usability or attractiveness and its Bluetooth is disappointing.
