awesome for a teenager
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.System does what it is supposed to do, looks a little cheap but the lights are cool. Beeping noise each time you turn off your car is very annoying! Make sure you get an instruction book.

Rotate the control dial to select [SET DEMO], then press it. Rotate the control dial to select [SET DEMO-OFF], then press it. The setting is complete. Press (back) twice.

Will not buy store demo models again
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The unit itself works great! Was purchased as a open box store demo. I was told only the paperwork was missing. After getting it home i found the microphone (main reason i purchased a bluetooth receiver) was not there either. The unit also has nfc function for android phones that does not work either. I assume the problems are just from it being a demo model, but it should have been mentioned prior to purchase.

Difficult
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only thing wrong with this is, you have to download an app to use it, and even then, its very hard to connect to.

It does not automatically connect to my phone
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought it specifically bc I got a ticket for being on my phone, The installer had a hard time getting it to connect to my phone. I never got it to connect after that. The lights are annoying and I can not figure out how to make them go away.

sound is ok. Display is awful
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have followed the directions to set the color on the display. however, after 5 minutes or so the radio will start flashing different colors. then the radio goes through all the programs available- Bluetoothe, Satellite, FM, other things I do not recognize. It is irritating. How do I stop this? also, You cannot change the channel or the volume on SiriusXM when the display is telling you the name of the channel. I would love for someone ot tell me how ot use this device so it can be enjoyed. I've owned Sony equipment for years. this is the worse

Great unit - great price!!!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i installed an earlier version of this model in my 2006 Hummer H3 about three years ago. I wanted a bare bones head unit that I could use 90% with my ipod touch filled with my entire music library (broken - no screen) and 10% for radio. That earlier model DSX-100 delievered, big time and for $100 was a great deal. Im just pushing basic after market 6" speakers and it worked great for me until last month when the contacts between the face plate and the head unit finally wore out. Bummer. Thinking I'm smarter than the average installer, I figured this newer model, sngle DIN entry level model Sony would be a direct-fit replacement - so I wouldn't have to re wire, re install a new bracket, etc etc. Also, the blue tooth feature of the new model was a big plus simce I my cell phne is just a Blackberry 9900 Bold with Pandora, Tune-In radio and micromSD card for MP3s. Unfortunately, while the wiring of this new model is the same (colors) as the old, the plug in the back of the unit is totally different. And so is the bracket. So I ended up having to rewire and re-install the head unit after all, which meant i probably might have found a cheaper, open box unit from some other brand with the same features and still spent the same amount of installation time. i'm not such a smarty after all. But in the end, install only took an hour. This unit ROCKS. The new "position sensor" feature works excellent and sounds MUCH better than the older unit; Pandora streaming works great, too and you can skip, thumbs down/up, bookmark etc all through the faceplate. Strangely this new model cmes with a CD unlike the older one...huh? Do people still listen to etc? And: Where the old model kept my ipod hidden inside a tray within the unit, this new one has a front mounted USB port so you ipod cable will be exposed and you'll need to find a new ipod storage spot. that's not so cool. SEE PIC of old unit attached. The bluetooth callng capability is a bonus. i really dont care about that but after seeing how well it works i'm glad i have it. For anyone new to this model, you may at first be very frustrated by the seemingly byzantine controls/button setup. It only took me a few hours to figure it all out, though and along with the features/value/performance of this thing I am psyched to give this thing five stahs.

Great radio for Bluetooth
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently purchased this radio because I wanted a Bluetooth radio which this has. The radio is great and works very well with my iPhone 6 plus. The only issue is the app request keeps coming up and when it opens always open on tuner. The Siri eyes free is great and can be used with the remote or pressing the dial in works just like pressing home button on the phone minus the app thing the radio works very well. Also the remote is very handy. Now will say the radio will work without the app so if you do not download it radio still works. The sound is awesome can not wait to drive every morning to use the radio. One last thing if you use spotify songs titles and name does not come up on radio but for Pandora it does.
