Very happy with my purchase. As other reviewers have noted, it is a bit difficult to read the display in sunlight. Also, the white ring of light around the knob is very bright and annoying in the dark, but you get used to it. The functionality of the unit is exceptional. The Bluetooth is very convenient and works very well using the external microphone. The internal microphone didn't work for crap - you definitely need to use the external mic. I ran mine up to the visor and used the handy visor clip that comes with the unit. I use 2 preamp outputs for the front, and the internal amp for the rear speakers. One annoying SW issue is that when I plug the USB connector to my iPhone it immediately starts playing music. This is not normally what I want, since I am just plugging it in to charge. I also noticed that the charging via USB is VERY slow. Barely keeps up. So, my normal operating mode now is to use a charger plugged into my cigarette lighter, and just play the audio via bluetooth, and use the controls on the Iphone itself. Plugging via USB for charging and using the Iphone controls built into the unit makes no sense to me. For ~$200 this works amazingly well!

April 1, 2011 Works Great with Bluetooth Streaming

I use this to connect to my phone via bluetooth. It auto connects when powered up. All I have to do is press the play button (6) and it works fine. Would be nice if it could auto start play but I have not seen an option to do this. Sound quality is very good. Installation was easy with the installation kit that came with it. A little bit of soldering and heat shrinking and I was done in less then an hour. Visibility of the screen in direct sunlight is not possible. But since Android does not send meta data to the radio to show song title and artist this is not a problem. Overall I am glad I purchased this product and have no regrets.

Pros: Bluetooth, Front Aux and USB, 6 channel, Best Buy for the Price and Features offered with this unit.
Cons: Remote Control is Huge, Light around volume knob doesn't dim, USB will not work with the new Sony MP3 players, Limited USB support.
I had not owned a Sony head unit in several years, this unit had all the features I was looking for, so far I am not disappointed.
