First tim owning a Bluetooth radio unit. Awesome addtion. The fact that I can play Pandora from my phone to the car audio wirelessly is great! However this unit is pretty complicated to figure out how to set up the equalization and channels. Took me a few weeks just to get use to the basic features. Also its a pain in the rear that in order to switch from CD to radio, or aux you have to scroll through 5 choices. No single buttons to get to where you want.
Sound quality and power ratio is great.

The most feature IMO is the A2DP BT audio transfer capability, since if you own a smart phone then HD radio, audio files, podcasts etc all can be played via this unit, I have not used this feature though. :) The blue looks great, the face is detachable, the sound quality is excellent, 3.5mm, USB, pre outs for expanding the system, its a do it all.
Overall I really like this unit, and recommend it, especially for people with A2DP BT compatible phones.

I have owned Eclipse, Pioneer, and JVC head units and I believe the Sony ranks as one of my favorites. The Bluetooth phone and audio capability is slick and easy to use although the external mic picks up road noise. All the controls of other head unit brands are in this although the layout is a little different I still believe the controls are intuitive. I have not added amps to my system yet but the Sony's internal amp pushes the components (JBL GTO6808C ) in my doors well.

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!

This unit is very user friendly compared to others and comes with a lot of options for the price. I would recommend this to anyone who's looking for an aftermarket stereo with BT, USB, and AUX 3.5mm.
The downside is that it sometimes swaps from the radio to the USB when I make a sharp turn. But it doesn't happen too often. This was suppose to come with 3 color display options, red, green and blue. The only one I see available is blue. It also has the auto-dim option but does not work.
