Yes I can comment on it. Two words.............BUY IT! I have nothing but praise for it. Its a pretty high wattage headunit (25w x 4 I believe) and the EQ and its custom setting levels are insane and the ability to customize the sound past the EQ is unbelievable.

I looked at the 7900 but Bluetooth is not something I need. The 6000 has the optional connection for the add BT from Pioneer IF in the future I want it. The HU already has the BT controls in it, so you are good to go there.

As for the USB reader, its unreal again! I use 2 4gb Thumb Drives to power my music. I dont have a fancy Ipod or anything. This thing just take a USB key loaded with all your favorites and you can keep them in their own seperate folders and the 6000 will rip through them in literally seconds. I can plug in my 4gb drive fully loaded, and it might take literally 10 seconds to read the entire thing before it starts playing. And that 10 seconds is an exageration, its more in the 5-10 range to be honest.

And when you pull the key out and switch it another and then go back to the original USB key, the 6000 REMEMBERS what song you were last on and starts from there! AMAZING! Gotta love that!!

As for the dial thing, some have commented on its bulkiness, and I wont lie it is bulkie, but its sooooooooooooo easy to flip through things as compared to moving your hand all over your HU. I am quite use to it now without any issues. And the "entertainment" feature allows to select from a varity of standstill or moving backgrounds to play with. I personally like the full screen EQ one.

And the HU easily pops off for easy grab and go. And to reattach is a breeze. It uses a magnet basically to reconnect but the face plate WONT come off if you are thinking that. I have tried it

You really cant go wrong with the 6000 or even the 7900, but like I said at the beginning the Bluetooth feature didnt catch me. Its so good I dont even carry CDs in my car anymore! I dont think the CD player is ever gonna get used unless someone has a CD they want to listen to

I give it 5 out of 5 on the Geddy scale
