I purchased this stereo as a replacement for the factory stereo in my daughter's Eclipse. Factory unit was Infinity and sounded great, but my daughter thought it was "ugly". I've been well pleased. Great sound. Good volume on mids and highs without amplification.

Installed this unit in my RV motorhome. Installation was easy with the supplied wiring harness. Need to upgrade my front door speakers and sound should be fine. Night illumination and lettering could be improved.
Very dispappointed with controls. Most controls on left and small push button type. Control buttons to small and closely arranged. Volume dial also multi functional and diffficult to operate.
I bought the Sony name and am greatly disappointed with this unit. It is just simply too complex to operate. Sony can do better and make this simpler and user friendly.

The Sony MEX-BT2800 is exactly what I was looking for. I saved $100 by having it shipped my Sonic Electronix instead of buying here retail in Canada. The guy at B*** B** warned me I would pay the difference in shipping costs and surprise taxes at the door. This was not the case because Sonic Electronix charged my everything UP FRONT with zero surprises! Thank you Sonic Electronix. Very happy A++++
