Agreed: "front USB and AUX inputs"

Agreed: "Two USB jacks, allows the use of the bluetooth device and a secondary external device."

New pro/con: Awesome mp3 decoder. Very dynamic. Great clear bass. No mushiness.

Hey, I noticed that you are using a iPhone 3G with the KD-R800. By any chance do you suffer from a problem where the iPhone is connected to the bluetooth, but occasionally calls will not be sent to the deck, but rather to the iPhone headset? I've been trying to find a solution to this problem and I have spoken to several people who are experiencing the same issue.
