it's not in my car yet, is it any good, it's goign to save me a ton, i was planning on budgeting around 1k for an awesome head unit, but hey, if this thing does the job, sounds good, looks good and isn't a piece of junk then you can't get more awesome than free :D

Check out Crutchfield for some reviews.

i would hope its somewhat decent for the money

i've read the crutchfield reviews, but honestly, i find very few products that they say anything bad about, on the other hand, i've read reviews on crutchfield and then read a review in an audio magazine and whatever teh product was got a way different review.

i have never heard of valor and know nothing about it, if it's just another jensen or if it's an up and coming alpine. somwehere in between, who knows.

i am hoping someone on ehre might actually ahve one fo there products :D
