Customers are saying

Customers find value in the Bluetooth connectivity, excellent sound quality, and ease of use of this CD receiver. Many appreciate the variety of features and the relatively easy installation process. While some users find the lighting options distracting and the app could be improved, the detachable faceplate is a popular security feature. Overall, the positive feedback on sound quality and ease of use outweighs the reported minor drawbacks.

    I originally went to the store to buy one of the Alpine car stereos, but saw this one and it was on sale. When I talked to one of the salesmen, he pointed to me the Bluetooth feature and did a quick demo using my iphone. I liked it and bought it. Installation went very smooth and I am happy with it so far. Sound quality is good. The only thing that I don't like is always starting with App on mode for Bluetooth, and requires a mode change to change the radio stations. Bluetooth works great.

    This is the 2nd Sony radio I've had in my car, the 1st only lasted 2.5 years, hopefully this one last longer! I love this radio, I love the Bluetooth so that I don't need a USB cord if I forget it at home! I love that I can take a call while driving without taking my eyes off the road! The only thing I don't care for is it says "Open App" and won't let you work the controls unless you select source, change that annoyance and make it durable and this is the PERFECT RADIO! I LOVE IT

    Mind you I haven't upgraded my system in some time, changing Cd's was getting old. I went with Sony as I'm familiar with the high sound quality and ease of installation due to harness clarity. Needless to say, took about a week but dialed in the eq, filters, etc and now back to the best sound I know of anywhere!!!

    What a great way to boost the sound quality in my car. I love it and sounds great from classical to classic rock and some hip hop. Being hands free with the Bluetooth helps give me such a feeling of safety as opposed to having to hold a phone. Also really enjoy the remote feature

    I have always loved Sony sound systems and really like this model and it's diversity. Great sound and easy functions. The previous model I had died on me and Best Buy Geek Squad went right to work installing this new one. I would definitely recommend this product and Best Buy!

    Very happy with my purchase. Radio has great sound quality. Has more options than I know what to do with. The Bluetooth works flawlessly and was easy to pair to my android. Matched the color to my Jeep.

    Got me grandpa's old truck after his passing. Originally had a cd player, but that wasn't working properly and need blue-tooth connectivity for training material loaded on my phone. Aside from a glitch where it resets itself from time to time, been a great tool. The reset seems to have been resolved after replacing my alternator.

    Great Sterio for a used car

    This Sony Sterio was an excellent replacement for our factory Sterio in our car. It has crisp sound and is very user friendly. Our factory player was old and only played tapes and AM/ FM radio. It's light features are a bonus for night time driving.

    The pros are that it sounds good and has a ton of cool features. The cons are that you need to read the manual to figure them all out. I have zero regrets for buying this to upgrade the factory stereo.

    This is a great radio. Easy to set up, easy to work with. Phone connect to it when you turn car on. Mic work great, never have anyone saying they can't hear me or they hear their self. Only thing I don't like about it is you can't make the clock and title of song cycle. You only can see one or the other. But overall awesome radio.

    This Sony CD stereo for my car is great. The sound is much improved over stock stereo. The color changing light system is cool. Bluetooth connectivity is a must now and this one works well. Only problem is the mic doesn't pick up voice very well so I have to speak loudly.

    I have a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan. The mounting of the stereo was a little tricky. The stereo sounds great! Bluetooth control is good. Haven't got the hands free working yet. And I am still working on the steering wheel controls. Overall I would recommend this stereo.

    good in-dash stereo

    I had a Sony in-dash before from about 5 years ago and bought another Sony hoping the wiring plug would be the same but the wiring plug is slightly different on this one. Fortunately I was able to splice the new plug into the old Sony adapter harness for my ford pickup and it works perfectly. Not exactly a beginner's project though. The sound quality is great. To get the most out of this radio you have to use a smartphone app to control it via BlueTooth. It works fine but I'm not crazy about it. The USB port charges my iPhone but it overrides the Bluetooth connection so that is annoying every time you plug it in while you are streaming audio via Bluetooth. It is easier to just charge it from the cars power port.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    The sound is fantastic! Love the bluetooth feature as well as the USB and Aux inputs. Only minor negative is that it took a little while to learn how to switch between the Radio/CD player and Bluetooth settings.
