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.

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.
