    Found this as an open box item. Missing knob & remote (don't use it anyway). Easy install, sounds great in the 03 Vue. I wanted an aux and USB port up front as well as play my cds. This is perfect! The only issue I have is that the source and mode buttons are too sensitive. Then maybe it's because my knob isn't there to keep me from hitting them accidentally. Will be buying one soon.

    My son loved his so much that me husband bought one for his truck. He bought a mini usb to put in usb drive you can't even tell it's there and we have music on long trips now. Buttons are easy to use, and love the red highlights.

    Better than OEM Stereo

    Easy installation for the do-it-yourselfer, wiring instructions for sub-wolfer could have been more clear. Sound is very good for this price range and the pre-set EQ options made for quick tone adjustment. I found some features easier to adjust using the remote control instead of the smaller faceplate buttons. All in all I would recommend this to anyone that wants a better quality sound than most OEM vehicle stereo systems.

    This Sony head unit is made well, easy to install and is offered at a GREAT Price. So for the money and the overall ease of installation and use you could do a lot worse than this Sony. If you are on a budget but want a quality head unit you cannot go wrong with this Sony!

    Purchased another Sony for my old Toyota. Installed easily, full-featured. Great sound. I use it for CD's, FM radio and Aux. input MP3's from my player. Really like having the remote when driving. I have always purchased Sony both car and home and have never been disappointed.

    Putting this in my 99 Hyundai Accent made for an instant upgrade. The sound quality was excellent, even without upgrading the speakers. However, unless you use the remote, it is next to impossible to figure out how to even turn the thing on. Especially while driving! Unnecessarily complicated controls.

    Loving the new stereo for the most part

    Overall I love my new stereo. It has good sound and the fact that I have a working CD player and a way to plug my ipod into my car audio has been awesome. The only thing I don't like is the fact that after a certain period of time the display starts telling you about the stereo features. I haven't figured out how to make it quit that.

    Nice Stereo

    I like this stereo. It looks good, sounds great, and has a handy remote control. It plays music from all of my iPhone music apps. The only downfall is that the clock isn't displayed while playing music. There probably is a way to fix that, but I just have not looked it up in the manual. I haven't bought a car stereo since the 1980's, and this one was much better and cheaper than what I bought 30 years ago.

    I always purchase Sony and this unit did not let me down. I couldn't afford the higher end model with different display colors but I was pleasantly surprised on how many wonderful features this has..in addition to accessing USB devices, I can charge my phone directly on the front of the unit.
