| This radio is fantastic! I installed it in my 1999 Honda Civic not to long ago, and so far so GREAT! I just love this radio! It's really simple to use, and easy to figure out! And it was such a great price! You'd expect something this good to be more than such a low price! :) |

"Great Unit, great features." | 2009-11-11 |

| I purchased this unit from Amazon after seeing in a local electronics store. The display is big enough to read, unlike the other Sony I put in our car. It was a snap to put in, and the remote makes it a snap to access controls without the distraction of the unit controls. Just like your tv's remote, you memorize the keys you use. Someone had an issue with their I-Pod, well I wouldn't know about that, I'm old fashioned, I go the economical route and load flash drives with music and just let it rip. If only the car maufacturers put a unit this good in their new vehicles. |

"Great stereo, especially for the price." | 2009-11-10 |

I bought this stereo to replace a previous Sony stereo, so installation was a breeze. It was a "lower rung" model than the previous I purchased four years ago and was worried about sound quality suffering, but it did not. (Went from 5-band to 3-band Eq). 100 bucks for a faceplate USB & a 1/4" AUX-in on a reliable brand, good sounding stereo is a pretty good deal.
I bought this unit for really one purpose, the USB port for playing my iPod Touch through it. This particular feature works great. Seek time is quick, controls are pretty easy after a short learning curve. Setting it to "shuffle" is a little annoying (press "shuff" button then wait 3 seconds). That's probably my only "complaint about this unit. I haven't tried a thumb drive yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
Summary:
Pros:
Sounds Great
USB works excellent w/ iPod
Navigation fairly easy
Can't beat the stereo for the price
Cons:
Shuffle not "instant"
Display not the slickest (but again, not a complaint at this price point) |

"Constant Beeping is a Pain" | 2009-11-07 |

| I bought this from a big box retailer, and generally I like it, the sound quality is decent and it reads the USB easily and without a fuss. The order of the tracks is less important to me than some other users. The buttons are also small I admit, but I knew that when I bought it. My biggest dislike is the beeping when you turn the vehicle off. You must remove the face plate or it beeps at you every time, and you cannot disable the feature. I have tried. I don't take my face plate out very often, as I live and work in secure areas, and the constant nanny beeping is hugely annoying. I would not buy this again, despite the fact that I respect Sony engineering. |

"The best car receiver for under $100" | 2009-11-05 |

| Forget using an fm transmitter for playing an ipod in your car. This receiver has many features, is easy to use and sounds great! Big ups to sony for using the same wiring harness so replacement of my old xplod unit took me only 20 minutes! My only gripe is that sony does not provide a case for the head unit. If it is still available for $100 or less, go get it. If not, it would make a great gift! |
