Picked up this radio to replace an old Sony radio I had on my motorcycle. Installation was super easy, and it looks great. It was more powerful than my last one, and the sound is really good. The extra bass is noticeable, but I am not rockin any subs on my bike. The bluetooth worked very well, paired to my phone quickly and even displayed the phone name. The little remote is a great addition, I put small magnets on the back and attached it to my gas tank so I can adjust the radio easily while riding. Very happy with this purchase.

Unit was as advertised. The Blue Tooth works perfectly! Install was kind of difficult but I knew that going in. Still have some fitwork to do. Trim package was suspect and difficult to order. Did not get one. Thank youto service tec at roanoke site...tremendously helpful

It's a little busy with all the functions running through the selector dial and the source button but the manual made it easy to figure out. This does NOT come with a CD player and with CDs becoming obsolete, this isn't a bad thing. It sounds great with preset EQ settings but it also has a custom user EQ setting that will allow me to dial in the sound if I choose to do so. It's powerful enough to overdrive my stock speakers and showed me that I need to replace them with something better. Speakers are next on the list for install.

I purchased my first Sony receiver in 1972, and have never been disappointed by any of their goods over the years, so I'm highly loyal to their line of products. I purchased this one for our houseboat. It works great! This thing puts out enough power to satisfy six sets of speakers, and sounds awesome. High quality, great sound, and a reasonable price = a great buy!

I purchased this stereo to replace an old model in my truck in which they aux cable stopped working properly. I mainly wanted a blu tooth function which this stereo had. It is very user friendly and I appreciated the sub-$79 price tag. It also came with free installation!! I would recommend to someone that just needs a fairly basic, blu tooth capable stereo.

I have an older car that doesn’t have bluetooth. I love how this will (usually) connect to my iphone and start playing not long after I start the car. It’s all I really need for the purpose.
A few quirks…
- I turn on car, sony starts to auto play… then silence for 3 seconds… then plays for 2 seconds… then plays like normal. Weird. I can live with it.
- When I use siri in the car while connected to the car stereo, I guess siri enters a “car mode” and will no longer display any info. I suppose this is to prevent distractions, but I find it MORE distracting. This is a nuisance if you are trying to find something while driving (while the phone is dash-mounted of course. Drive safe!). “Hey Siri, where is Best Buy?” Instead of listing the nearest Best Buy’s letting me glance and tap the one I want, the screen just shows a picture of a car and audibly describes various Best Buys. I find focusing my ears for several seconds and hoping I verbally respond in a way she understands to get me to my destination much more distracting than me just tapping the top option on the list.
It wouldn’t be so bad if it acted norma when I’m in park, but it doesn’t know if your driving or not, so it stays in car mode. If I tell siri to add something to the the reminders list, I can’t confirm she got it right cause there is no text. I either have to turn the car off to use siri, or not use siri in the car.

I installed this Sony receiver in my boat a few weeks ago and am impressed with the power it has to push 4 Rocker 6.25” speakers. It was easy to install and has a lot of good features. Would easily give this product 5 stars, but connecting Bluetooth should be easier or automatic once a device set up. Also, the volume knob when pushed will change functions. It is VERY sensitive so if trying to turn the volume up/down quickly I often inadvertently push to hard. So instead of changing the volume, I’m spinning through function list and have to back out to get back to volume control. These are not deal breakers however. Overall, I’m very happy with the performance of this Sony receiver!

Very Happy with this for the money, sound quality is good, bluetooth works well, there is no external microphone, it is built into the unit itself so sometimes people say I am hard to hear, but That may also be partially due to my loud diesel pickup haha, Overall great unit

This radio heading it was meant for an older car. I didnt want nothing too crazy or too flashy just something that I can connect my phone via Bluetooth. Works great but the quality is okay. It starts sounding distorted almost at the max volume but besides that no complaints.
