Looking for a head unit that has all of the features you need but without a confusing interface? The Sony CDX-GT530UI is just that. With its white dot-matrix display and blue button lighting, the design is simple and easy to use. This receiver also has easy-to-read buttons, a control knob and an included remote control for your safety while driving. For playback features, it will read CD’s, MP3’s and WMA’s and not just through the CD Slot. This head unit comes with a front-panel USB input, so instead of switching CD’s, you can choose from any of the music stored on your USB drive. Don’t feel left out if you own an iPod, you can use your USB-to-iPod cable or purchase a separate adapter for an iPod connection to your receiver. The USB iPod adapter cable lets you directly connect, charge, and control your music player through the front USB input. You can even view data such as song title and artist on the display. The QuickBrowzer allows you to search and select songs by their category, including artist, album, genre or playlist. The Jump Mode lets you fast forward through a category in 10 percent increments.
