I got this radio at a discounted price and it has a ton of features for under $100.00. I can't comment on the bluetooth feature because I haven't tried it yet. All the features are very easy to use and the remote control is an added bonus. You cant go wrong with this radio.

July 12, 2007 Excellent deck, but limited expandibility

My new car has a manual transmission, and I quickly figured that trying to juggle my cell phone while driving was a bad idea. I knew that I didn't want to become one of those people with the bluetooth headset in my ear all the time, I just needed something for use in the car. The Sony MEX-BT2500 fit my needs and my budget perfectly.

Install was straightforward, the only issue I had is that the deck has no preamp outputs. It's strange that Sony wouldn't include at least one set, especially on such a feature rich head unit. Luckily my amp has speaker level inputs.

It's a sharp looking deck, the controls are intuitive, tuner sounds good, bluetooth was easy to configure, calls are handled well, streaming audio works like a dream and MP3 playback is solid.

Bottom line, this is a great unit. I would definately recommend it to anyone looking to replace their factory stereo. For those wanting to use external amplification I'd suggest something higher end.

Just bought an LG Blue Ray DVD recorder. Everything went perfectly. Ordering was easy and order was delivered quickly. I recommend Sonic Electronics without hesitation. Good people to work with.
