Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this replacement deck for its many features at a great price. The CD works well, the tuner brings in my stations, and the front Aux and USB connections make it real convenient to plug in my smartphone. It has Bluetooth, so I can make or receive calls very easily. The deck stops my CD or the radio and I can take my call, then when I'm done, it brings back up whatever I was listening to. Sony has 2 apps for your smartphone that allow you to control the deck with the phone, and another to read you your texts as you are driving, among other things. The deck also comes with its own remote. My only complaint is the long menu that you have to scroll through with the control knob to go through all of the functions. Having so many features is a plus, but makes for a long menu!

It was a returned radio that had nothing wrong with it, so I got it at a good price. It comes with many useful features like Bluetooth connectivity, Ipod USB/AUX jack and all the other connections to tickle your fancy. The only downside is that if you are not really a user of all these features I wouldn't see the need to purchase a car stereo of this caliber. If you want a stereo that just has the ability to play your Ipod through your car radio, then there are much cheaper options through "non-big" brands. The price was fair because it was an un-boxed item so the price was lowered. If it was at full price, I would probably have seeked a cheaper alternative.

Got this to replace another aftermarket unit because I needed Bluetooth for my work vehicle. Has good reception and good sound, but the controls are annoying for adjustments to the sound or other options on the unit. For the money I don't think I could have found a better unit.

I purchased this radio to replace a broken radio in a New Holland tractor. It seemed a little much for a tractor considering the bluetooth and sreaming music. However, is has worked out great. Keeping CD's in the tractor has never worked well. They would get scratched up from the rough ride. Now that's not a problem. I can stream the music from my phone or plug up the iPod and not have to worry about those CD's anymore. Plus, before this radio sometimes I would miss hearing my phone ring, but not anymore. Now when my phone rings, it rings over the speakers in the tractor. Finally, believe it or not the handsfree feature for phone use works well in the cab of a tractor. I can only imagine how well it would work in an automobile. Concluding, I must say that this is an excellent radio for the value.

Purchased this to replace an OEM radio in my 2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring. Works great with the cars integrated amplifier and puts out really nice sound. Its blue tooth setup works great with my Iphone and plays sounds from any source on my phone (Music, Telephone, Youtube, Pandora etc...), and the USB connectivity works the same, and also charges the phone. Comes with a microphone, haven't used this feature very much, my wife says she can hear herself while talking. This is the first radio I've bought in about 5 years and I am amazed at all the features it came with for the Price. It also has the option to purchase the Sirius/XM receiver for $69.99 for an easy satellite radio upgrade.

I'll admit I haven't put this stereo thru it's paces, but the features I use, I love. The phone sound quality is excellent. I love that it came with a remote microphone that I can clip onto my sunvisor while keeping almost all the wire concealed. I like that the lights can be dimmed for my all night drives, but it would be nice if I could also change the colors. I can't tell you about the CD player - I only use the front USB. Can't tell you anything about iPhone issues as I only use the front USB. Did I mention the front USB; Love It! It's easy to use, pairs BlueTooth phones automatically and it sounds like a Sony for less than $130. What could be better? (Oh yeah, I caught it on sale for under $120!)

I purchased this item as a gift for my wife, and so far she has loved it. We are in the midst of purchasing a new car and have the unit ready to go for install into the new vehicle. I have always been impressed by systems and equipment purchased from Best Buy, and I would recommend this product and the retail store to anyone looking to purchase a new car stereo system.

I purchased this for my daughter and it was easy to install and sounds pretty decent. I don't like that you cannot manually adjust the tone (bass, treble, mid). Bluetooth works well and it was very easy for my daughter to talk on the phone while driving.

My factory radio messed up so I bought this radio prmarily for the bluetooth cabability. Works great with my Samsung Galaxy App Remote. It took me about a day to figure out the options and figure out how to set up the App Remote Features. The Best Buy Technician did an excellent job with the installation and intalling the external mic. I had to go in and ask him if he installed the mict becuase I could not find it. I aslo like that I can use my rear speakers with the subwoofer option in the 'sound settings'. I love the voice recognition capabilities. Best to use the app remote while driving so you don't have to scroll through all the radio functions. Great radio with so many functions. I would recommend Sony produce more You Tube tutorial videos to make setup and learning to operate radio easier.

Had this stereo installed in my Chevy Colorado/ Love the hands free Phone features Extremely clear sound all around and easy to understand. Bluetooth features are also excellent.

Overall a great little stereo. We bought it for our duaghter, and she is able to stream music from her iPhone and talk hands-free, and it is easy to use. We had a person who knows how to install it do so, as it required placement of a microphone for the hands-free phone feature. We like that you remove the face of the stereo at night, so people may not be tempted to "remove it" for you! We are pleased with the price and the product. Now, only time will tell.

I purchased this so I would no longer need to use a cord to connect my phone to the radio to listen to my audio books and I needed the hands free capability for phone use. While I don't generally talk and drive I am occasionally on-call for work and I drive a lot so needed to be able to get the calls. The sound for the phone is great both through the radio and the microphone. The general sound quality is great and I am extremely happy with my purchase.

This is a great powerful receiver. I installed this unit in a used German inport that I had just purchased. Very easy installation. This unit has so many features, but its power and bluetooth are fantastic. It is great go be able to use the bluetooth with my iPhone for both music and calls! Pairing the devices was very easy. Will probably take a while to learn all of the Sony's other features to get the most out of it. The only downside so far is the time it take to scroll through all the different input modes to find the one you want to use.

i bought this for the bluetooth feature, the ability to charge the i-phone, and the sound quality. I am happy with those features, but it is not intuitive to change between functions. Sometimes, when I just want to adjust the volume, it is on a different setting and you have to toggle through the different modes to get back to cd/stereo, and wait for it to time out to go to the volume option.

Love this stereo! Except the color of display. The hands free phone is great too. Love that I do not need an auxiliary cord if I do not want to use one. The blue tooth to my phone allows the phone to operate through my speakers. GPS plays through the speakers also which is a nice feature.

The price for my Sony car stereo was a bargain. The features are amazing and the stereo itself easy to configure.

I've had this radio for about a month now and I love it. The Bluetooth is awesome and makes it easy for me to listen to the music right off my phone without the hassle of dealing with wires and cords! The radio also comes with a remote, which I love, that makes it easy and safe to use while I'm driving. The sound quality is great and I would definitely recommend this product to anybody!

We purchased this product for my son's truck. FINALLY, he is able to talk via bluetooth and I don't have to worry about him driving and holding the phone. I must say the sound on the phone is crystal clear. I would have never guessed he was on speaker. He's also able to play his music from is phone as well. He was blown away when mom and dad were able to pick out something so KOOL!

This stereo is great for the price. I love the bluetooth feature which allows me to play music from my phone and use the stereo as a speaker phone while driving. It produces great sound through my factory speakers. It can be kind of tricky in the beginning learning to use all the features, but is fine once you become accustomed to it. I also wish it had a mute button. All in all I am very happy with my purchase.

this is a great radio for my truck . It has everything. I like the ability to have bluetooth and be able to use Pandora. Had to read the book a few times to figure out how to use it but once you link it to phone it works easy. Can with a remote that i have not used. I also like the way it looks and sound is excellent.
