Loved it when it worked, 09/02/2009
By GotTheShortEndOfTheStick, Oberlin, Ohio
Overall Rating: 1 out of 5 1 out of 5

I loved it when it worked and then about a month ago, the sound began to work only intermittently. I had read a lot of people had problems with getting any word from the company and its, true! I can only get an electronic operator with no answers! I've had a lot of automobiles and bought a lot of radios this is the first one I've had problems with that couldn't be resolved. !!!!!!!!Do not buy this one!!!!!! A good deal isn't a good deal if it doesn't work and can't be fixed.

GPS didn't work when received. After purchasing and installing update, everything worked very well - for two days. Then it decided to not turn on except for maybe once a week. After one useless email and two phone calls with 30 minute hold times it was returned to factory. It has been there a month with no word and no response to emails. But when it worked it worked really well.

Good product but a few issues, 04/13/2009
By Wolf2008, Russell, KS
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

I bought this product a year ago and had it installed. It worked extremely well until recently. I have noticed that it is heating up rather quickly and sometimes upon starting my car I will have to turn the unit off and on several times (the most so far has been about 20+ times). it has only been doing this once the weather started warming up again. other then that I have loved it. the SD card function is an amazing idea. No more worrying about CDs taking up space in your car (a down side is the 2 gb max on the car but will be more the enough for most people). the screen is very easy to see details on movies but can be hard to see with changing lighting conditions. It has some features I personally found useless like the calculator. The gps system is good but some of the roads I believe to have been installed wrongly since some roads say I'm going left when actually the road swings right. I am thinking of replacing the unit due to the overheating it has in my car and maybe see if my cars space design isn't the reason for that.

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

Great value. Other units go for about $700.00. This unit does everything it says it will do. The installer said it was a simple installation procedure. I am very satisfied with this deal. I was skeptical at 1st, but was quickly convinced that I got a good deal after the 1st couple times I used it. I have had it for about 2 1/2 months and it is working wonderfully in my wife's Land Rover Freelander.

Ok I am impressed, I am a diehard Pioneer fan. I looked over the reviews and thought what the heck, if I dont like it Ill take it back. I cant believe that you can get this for under 400 bucks. install was a snap, owners manuel is awesome, and the product. Well lets just say its staying in the car. GPS picked up signal in my garage, with the door closed, while the antenna was laying on the concrete floor. although it takes a couple of min to load, it is pretty acurate, not as precise as my garmin but close. Great sound in all areas, not the best interface for navigateing through cd play and multimedia but for the price you cant complain. ROADMASTER, who would have ever thought they would make something worth putting in a nice car? update cd is a little expensive but just found it for a LOT cheaper with manufactures warranty somewhere else. check the net. 2009 download, and you will need a 2gb sd card to complete. you will have to get a cable for the ipod to connect to their supplied cable also. not ready right out of the box. but I cant imagine that it will cost more than a couple of bucks. male to male connector from ipod to their cable. all in all im really blown away by this product. I hope it holds up. i will be back in a month to give another review.

This deck does every thing. My friends keep asking me, "What did you pay for this? $1400?". They don't even believe I got it from Walmart. But anyway, the movie quality is excellent, the GPS is superb. This was just all around a good purchase. Thanks Walmart. ;-)

The Gps locks on quickly and has plenty of preprogrammed points of interest. My only gripe is that you cannot lower radio volume while gps is on the screen, you have to first switch screens. All in all it is well worth the money, there is no competition when comparing capabilties and features other units cost hundreds more.

nice unit, 11/20/2008
By fc3schick87, san antonio,tx
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

well it was very easy to install. and its very user friendly. like i read before i do wish there was on screen buttons while playing an audio CD. its hard to read the words along the very top.

i did have a problem with this unit, my cydle (navi aplication) does not work. it wont pull up. i already called the 1800 number and they were very nice and very helpfull. they told me to return it to the store, i let them know that walmart does not carry this item in store, he assured me that they typicaly do. i let him know that i would go look. he said to call him back and gave me his extention #. if walmart does not have this unit instore for an exchange then roadmaster will send me out a new unit with a return shipping lable, and all i would have to do is send them back mine. very helpfull and it doesnt leave me with out a unit.

overall experience: this is a great unit. not only does the face plate have a tilt function but the acual 4 inch screen also can tilt out away from the face plate itself.

sound quality: it sounded amazing, sounded more full and more clear then my pioneer premier.

By grainbrane, Flagstaff, AZ
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

This product sort of broke my heart, and I returned it after a week and here's why.

Pros:
It physically beautiful. The colors are great and it's super cool.
The menus and touch screen are really nice.
The sound in cd mode is awesome.
The navigator is awesome, and accurate.
Price.

Cons:
30 day warranty? C'mon.
Sound through the aux input? I'm not sure, but I couldn't get it to sound good.

Other thoughts:
I was unsuccessful in getting the sound to be as good as the cd when using the aux input. I was using it with xm and just could not get it to sound good. I'm willing to accept the fact that it could be the xm, but I used it in my other car and it sounded great. Also I installed the unit myself and I'm not that experienced so I'm willing to accept that I could have done something wrong.
The navigation is really cool but a bit complicated, nothing that can't be learned in a couple of hours.
I returned it because I couldn't get the sound right through the a/v (aux), and because some other reviewers said it died after a few months, and I find a 30 day warranty to be unacceptable. I'm going with the jvc unit but it's about 700 dollars. Ouch.

Great Features for the Price!!!!, 07/07/2008
By aerlonestar, Midlothian, TX
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Pros: Great Features at a very low price. Easy to use.

Cons: Map data and POIs on the GPS is at least 2 years out date. The Walmart I bought this at was not listed. Its been open for 18 months. The highway bypass that has been open for more than 2 years isn't on the GPS's maps. Has to reboot every time you start your vehicle.

Overall I would say to buy it you will love it. It is also very easy to install. I did it myself in about an hour total. 45 minutes of which was spent at my dining room table soldering on the wiring harness.

Great GPS head unit, 05/23/2008
By jpguse, Laurel, MD
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Let me just say, that for $400, I was only looking for a GPS unit. But what I found was a head unit that does so much more. It comes equipped with a USB port, SD Card Slot, iPod adapter (NO MORE CD's!!!), 2 sets of Video Ins and 1 set of Video Outs. This is a Multimedia dream machine. I have always purchased Sony products and I have to say that the quality of this product matches that of Sony. Very easy to use interface and the options are unlimited. I also hooked up my rear view camera to this unit and it all works perfectly together. I highly recommend this unit if you have a factory unit that just isn't doing it for you and you want to upgrade to GPS and a nice overall system.

Great Product...Great Price, 05/21/2008
By englishbulldog03, Baltimore, MD
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Let me first tell you the VR-3 has blown me away with the quality in this unit. I have Jeep Wrangler w/soft top so it's easy to get in and recently had my Kenwood head unit stolen(forgot to remove faceplate) and when it came time to replace I started researching for a gps and dvd unit to keep both myself and my kids happy. I found that unit and much more with this unit not only is the gps great so is the dvd feature. I do agree with the others on the clock issue however that is very minor when you compare it to the GPS/DVD and the quality of sound that is produced by this non-name brand unit.
The installation was very simple and straight forward, but I have been installing radios as a hobby for over 15years, I added two monitors in the back for my kids.
In closing I would have to say look into the quality and features of the product before worrying about brand, because this unit is that diamond in the rough.

Great product. Does what it says and is a great value for the money. I added a rear screen for the DVD and it works perfectly. The GPS is pretty accurate, not precise but close enough. The GPS program has a lot of streets listed that my wifes factory unit does not. This unit has great sound and is easy to use. The install was easy. Overall there are a few quirks to the operation, but nothing that cant be overcome. For the money you will not find a unit that does all this one does.

A worthy addition to anyone looking to upgrade., 04/23/2008

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

I bought this stereo about a week ago and for the most part I love it.
Of all it's features, the only few things I would like to see changed or upgraded would be the media player. The display interface for DVD's, CD's, MP3's, ect... is a bit hard to navigate when on the move as the buttons are kinda small. That, and the music information display (how it shows song information) could be much improved.
One thing I am really proud of is that the entire raido system (GPS, and stereo software), can be upgraded.
Overall, I do love it and would recommend it to others.

VR3 Needs to Go Back to the Drawing Board, 04/23/2008
By GadgetMan7, Texas
Overall Rating: 2 out of 5 2 out of 5

I bought this unit because I have a lift on my truck and wanted a GPS unit to give me a better idea of my speed as well as all the other great features of having GPS. I loved the idea of having my mp3s/radio/dvds/cds and GPS all in one unit in my dash.
At first, I noticed lots of quirky issues, but quickly looked past them being so excited about this unit.
2 weeks went by and among the many annoyances I had been trying to overlook, a new issue crept up. The stereo's amp was going out. The stereo when turned up to normal levels was making crackling noises. (It's not my speakers, I have since changed to a JVC unit and the sound is spectacular). I was on the 15th return day of the 15 day return policy on some electronics. Luckily it happened JUST in time. I returned the unit THAT DAY to wonderful Walmart. I expressed to the Customer Service how many issues the unit had, they didn't seem too surprised and were very helpful.
Now here is what I think of the unit:
This stereo is an utter piece of junk. List of annoyances and problems I tried to overlook:
-Constant hiss from speakers
-Constant high pitch fan noise from unit
-Floppy adjustable touchscreen
-Motor Extremely loud (sounds like ET yelling)
-Timezone ALWAYS resets
-Daylight Savings Time Issues
-In order to adjust music volume you must exit GPS while driving and navigate to your music source THEN adjust volume. Roadmaster stated no fix was planned for this. It may not sound like a big deal, but trust me over time it gets SO OLD having to do this and not to mention a driving hazard.
-In order to access SD card slot, the faceplate has to be removed.
-Awful sound settings - Subwoofer control consists of "On and Off" - Extremely basic equalizer consisting of "Bass and Treble". End result no matter what settings, it still sounds terrible.
-Controls are confusing and aren't consistent throughout different features. EX.: GPS has completely different looking/style menus than the radio. Radio has completely different looking menu/style than SD/DVD/USB menu. It looks like a hodge podge of different pieces of software UIs.
-Unit comes with a widescreen yet after messing with all the screen settings it will not display in 16:9. It is instead stretched with bars on top and bottom. Roadmaster support could not help.
-The most nitpicky of my complaints is that the unit sticks out of the dash rather far. My new stereo actually is set inwards. The VR3 sticks out about 1 inch, and my vehicle's bezel allows for quite a bit of extra length. Some vehicles the unit may stick out much further.
Pros with the unit are that it has pretty nice GPS software.. which is licensed from another company (explains why it's the only good thing about the unit). It's the only reason I give the stereo 2 stars. The GPS is actually decent, aside from the time zone reseting everytime you power down.
Bottom Line:
Save your money, this unit is trash. I ended up getting a separate GPS unit and a name brand JVC stereo. Couldn't be happier... Don't make the mistake I did with this poorly engineered product.
