Here is a great Sony unit that can do it all. It may not be the most expensive head unit on the market today, but it can do just about anything that you could want. Aside from the normal playback of CD's and the AM/FM radio with the SSIR-EXA tuner, the Sony CDX-GT630UI provides a front USB port and a 3.5mm auxiliary input. The USB port can be used to connect your iPod or other USB MP3 player. With the additional of separate modules, the unit can then play HD Radio or SIRIUS Radio. The CDX-GT630UI also features CD changer controls to connect and control a compatible external CD changer! There are almost too many options on this in-dash head unit from Sony!

You will not find a better system for the price. The sound quality is fantastic, even with stock speakers. The AM/FM pickup is great, along with the CD player. It hasn't skipped on me yet. More importantly, the USB port is the best way to listen to your own collection. Plug in a flash drive and you're ready to go. Sony's zap button allows you to listen to short clips of songs to choose what you want.

I originally purchased one of the leading Kenwood's in this class, but it got ripped off. And I'm glad it did. This Sony is so superior it's a joke. The Sony's interface is much more intuitive and the controls feel better to the touch. I would agree with other reviewers that the presets can be hard to see, but after a short while you get used to their positions. All in all, you can't go wrong with this unit for the money. I would give it 5 stars except for the likely failure of some of the plastic components and the shortcomings of the button layout.

This is the best stereo ever. It has cd/tuner/usb, etc. What more can you ask for? It's also for the great price if you buy here on sonicelectronix. At b*** b** it's for $169.99+tax. Also the illuminations are pretty cool. The blue looks good whether it's day/night. As for the green, in the daytime it's very dim and you can't really see the color, but at night it looks good. Also the remote control is easy to use. I've owned this for about 6 months, and so far so good. No problems with it at all! Overall, the stereo, price, features are great!

This has been an excellent head unit coupled with my factory speakers and an external amp with dual kicker subwoofers. I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for an inexpensive way to improve factory performance and an add full iPod control. For the price of most iPod adapters you get the best of both worlds in one awesome package.
I purchased this unit based on functionality as I liked the idea of Zapplin and Quick Browser. I was not let down as I can surf some 7K songs on my iPod Classic in a jiffy. This unit is incredibly easy to use and has enough power to push my factory speakers effortlessly.
I liked this head unit so much that I ended up purchasing a second one from Sonic for my other vehicle.
The positives speak for themselves and are too many to list. The only down, if you'd call it that, is that the display has a limited number of colors to match your dash. Two to be exact. Unfortunately Orange is not an option.
Best bang for the buck!
