    As far as installing this went, everything was pretty standard when car stereos are concerned. Make sure you have an installation kit for your dash, and be sure to disconnect the battery until everything is connected. The main reason I bought this unit was to be able to listen to my music from my phone in my car. Having the NFC tag on the volume knob makes it really easy to connect my devices to Bluetooth. The included remote makes the whole experience even better when I'm driving so I don't have to be reaching over and looking away from the road.

    Good Features and Price, Poor quality

    I Have had this radio for over 6 months now and bought it for the Bluetooth capabilities. It works awesome with my phone (Galaxy S7 Edge) It will restart music right where it left off without me pressing a button. Phone calls are clear and loud and the other person has no trouble hearing me. Music quality is excellent for replacing a stock GM radio. The problem I have is that when it gets cold out the radio will not turn on within the first couple minutes of the truck running. It is almost as if it needs to warm up before it wants to work. After it turns on it will flicker a few times and then be fine for the rest of the day until it sits for awhile. So it does everything I need and the price was excellent but the build quality of the unit is questionable in my experience.

    Bought this so I could sync to phone for music. Easy install, easy but sync and sounds good. There are a lot of options I haven't tried since this is in weekend car but very satisfied with purchase. I would give 5 stars if it would automatically pic bt audio function without needing to find that source option manually

    Great Bluetooth radio with many options to listen to your music from phone, mp3, etc. Take note. This is a tuner, Bluetooth, Aux, and USB only. No CD player. For me this is great for my commute to work. One warning, if you have it connected to your phone through the Bluetooth and someone calls you, the ringtone can be really jarring. It is a cool feature to hear your call through the car speakers, just make sure your phone mike is close enough for them to hear you talking.

    It was easy to install. I bought it for the wireless connection to play music from my iPhone. I also like the USB port. The only things I don't like are that you have to reset the Bluetooth settings every time you reconnect to power. (It's in my boat and the battery is removed frequently for charging). Also if you bump a button while trying to change the volume you have to wait for about 5 seconds without touching anything before the volume knob works to control the volume and not scroll through menu options.

    For the price it's been amazing. At first we had a little trouble pairing the phone, but with a little patience I got it to work. I felt i needed to update my daughter's car radio since she went from AUX supported radio to tape player...lol (2000 Civic). She seems to love that she can change the colors. You can use USB, AUX, or BT....lots of options. Oh i forgot it actually tells you what is playing on the radio too, how cool is that to look over and get the name of the song and who it's by.

    Easy to install and operate, NFC to initiate Bluetooth is a feature I have loved across Sony's product spectrum. I am using the stock car speaker system, can't speak to how it handles extra subwoofers. Primary con is the inability to disable unused modes, flipping through the USB modes I can't use, the aux and Pandora modes I don't use, and the redundant phone mode (which automatically engages if you make or receive a call, why would I scroll to it ever?) gets real old real fast.

    Simple to use, great sound. Replaced a radio that was too distracting to operate while driving. Reason only 4 stars is that station selection buttons are rather small, and display brightness does not self adjust, resulting in either dim display during the day, or distracting brightness at night unless manually dimmed.

    I installed this stereo in my 1996 Toyota Tacoma and it works perfectly. Made the sound quality better even with stock speakers. The Bluetooth is super clear and easy to use once set up and the ability to make and receive phone calls in my car is very convenient.

    Unit was exactly what I was looking for; A head unit that was Bluetooth capable, and could output to a subwoofer, then later some upgraded speakers. Performing flawlessly after a month or so with a 12 inch woofer. Install was super easy, and the store had the wiring harness in stock, which made one less trip for me. A+

    Been looking for a Media receiver without the CD and this head was on sale over cyber Monday. Simple to use and works every time, haven't used the BT calling yet but used every other feature with little to no reading of the instructions. Very intuitive interface for anyone used to using a multi function head

    I bought this unit to replace an old unit that I had previously and I love it it works perfect with my iPhone Bluetooth and AUX easy set up no issues. The only thing I don't like is it beeps when I turn off the vehicle but that's just Sony I guess LOL

    Build quality seemed good for the money. The wiring harness seemed to have a smaller gauge wire than what I'm use to seeing, but the system works well.

    I bought this to be able to use all forms of media for music. This had everything, even a great price. After installing it took awhile to get the sound set the way I like it as the menu's are not the most intuitive. After getting everything set I enjoyed it for a day. Then for some reason it stopped playing sound. After shutting everything off it came back on. However my phone wouldn't sync. After resyncing my phone it worked for another week or so flawlessly, then the same issue cropped up again. I pulled the radio thinking it was something with the wiring but everything was good and secure. Not really sure what is up, or if I just got a bad one. Sad because this replaced another Sony I had for over 6 years that never gave me a problem. For the price its worth it if you do not run into the issue I have as it has every feature you need for the digital age. Hopefully I just got a dud but I waited to long to return it.
