I really like this unit!

Pros:
Quality of music is excellent, Versatile, Once paired to a device, It will always search for it as soon as you turn on the ignition. Examples like GPS unit and my cell phone using an android Atrix. It will also find whatever music I have on my phone and play it. I also purchased an optional microphone for it. It will automatically connect me to whatever phone call I may have. It shuts the volume off on the radio automatically.

Cons:
I have had this unit six months. I have yet to figure out everything it does. It's a bit complicated to use Due to the fact that the labels for each of the buttons are labeled so tiny you can't really see them. It would be handy here if the labels were Lighted. Mind you I'm an old fart! Not sure on how long it will last, as it's a throwaway society nowadays and most everything electronically seems to Die early.

If it lasts as long as the car I'll be happy. All in all, I really love this unit!

This unit work great, for the price, amazing!

It works. I have had no problems at all. Sound, hardware or compatibility with my Moto Droid.

Excellent stereo, Excellent merchant

For the price the Sony MEX-BT3900U cannot be beat! Trust Sonic, the order was shipped fast and came with all the installation accessories they said it would. I paired it with four Kicker 08K600's and couldn't be happier with the sound in my 00 CRV. All the features work great, but in the future I might add an external mic for the Bluetooth, my CRV is a little hollow on the inside, and I guess I sound a little bit like I'm in a tunnel. I think if I had a more quiet passenger cabin there wouldn't be a problem, and the CRV is not a quiet ride.

This is a GREAT head unit

With all of the features this is the best unit for the money I have used in years. The signal processing makes my MP3's sound outstanding, though of course the CD is still better. The Bluetooth audio sounds better than a USB connection. Not that complicated to use, takes about 10 minutes to set it up. Has not failed me yet. The built in crossover is actually working great for me, three amps using only the built in crossover. Could use a little less bass on the front set but not so much that I need to add a crossover.

Great!

I would like to recommend this one. It has all the functions I need, especially front USB, front aux in, Bluetooth. All the functions work well as they are supposed to do. Nothing to complain.

Some comments said the white button on the front panel is too bright in the evening. I did not feel that. No problem at all for me.

It has no SD/microSD card support. This is not very good, but I am using a USB reader to access my microSD card. So it is still ok.

It only support CD. If it can support DVD, it will be great, but since I can use external USB, this is not very important.

Conclusion: very very good. If it can support DVD and SD/microSD, it will be perfect.

Sony BT3900U

I've been running the Sony for about 6 months now and I couldn't be happier. This is my first BT stereo so I wouldn't call myself an expert but the audio streaming and BT calls work fantastic. I do wish I would have gotten the external mic as sometimes people say it sounds like I'm under water. I think its just because the stereo is far from me. Some have complained about the beeping when you turn your car off and I can't say it bothers me one bit. I don't even hear it anymore. Lots of power for the money!!!

ok

Everything accept for a few flaws. Freezes up when someone calls me and Bluetooth is connected, and also if its not on tuner you wont be shown the time. Other than that its ok. I wish i could be heard better when making a call too. Also its very NOT user friendly when it comes to adjusting your equalizer, like bass and trebble etc.

Great Deck

This is the second MEX-BT2900U I've bought from Sonic & Sony. The first went into my daughters car, so she wouldn't be as tempted to break the law on cell phone usage - the second for myself as my old deck didn't have BT phone options. It works great - I get in the car and the phone sync'd - then its easy to answer and talk using the sound system already in the car. Muisc from my phone also sounds great!! Really Happy with the purchase.
