Sony MEX-BT2700

Excellent headunit for a great price !

Headunit installed easily with provided wiring kit and is a great improvement over what the previous stock setup.

The bluetooth features are an added plus - my Blackjack sync'd right up and calls are crisp and clear. I've been told I sound clearer via the headunit than I do on the cell phone.

I'm using the factory speakers in my Jeep Liberty, and the difference in sound quality between my old headunit and the Sony is night and day - no questions the Sony was a great choice.

I went with the BT2700 as I didn't need the iPod fancyness, but still wanted a headunit that actually had buttons for the radio stations ( as opposed to some that you change stations via dial/clicking combos ) as well as an aux jack in front to use with a Zune. The added benefit of being able to add on HD Radio and the bluetooth capabilities make this headunit well worth the money.

Great Radio

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.

Great Radio & BT Phone Quality - Very RV Friendly

Absolutely recommend. Sounds is strong and crisp and my BlackJack connected in minutes. Plays great sound from my smart card in the BlackJack. Given the remote and my hook-up to house battery in the RV, this will provide quality sound while I am camping without auto battery on. Great purchase at reasonable price.

bluetooth great

Work great everything was easy to connect alot of features. But what I really like about it is the Bluetooth I can connect my Bluetooth phone and hear music on stereo, make calls...thanks Sonic.

Great CD Player

I bought this to get bluetooth audio capability with my Sony phone. Works fine with my K790a and C905a phones. I use this capability primarily for playing music off my phone.

Only shortcoming is voice quality for the caller when using it in phone mode. Sound in the car is fine, but the other end of the call usually complains of poor voice quality when the car is going more than 25-30 mphs. I usually just transfer the audio to my phone then.

Voice commands for voice calling work fine however.

Good luck.

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.

Sony MEX-BT2700

I selected this model over others due to the built in Bluetooth. Unfortunately it greatly under performs in that regard. It is virtually impossible to use the hands free phone while the vehicle is in motion so I have to be stationary which defeats the purpose of a hand's free mobile phone.
The radio and CD player are exceptional though.

My review for Sony MEX-BT2600 for 79 VW Rabbit

The Sony fit my 79 VW great. The blue tooth feature works great. When I have a call coming in, the radio program go off and my phone answers. The voice from the phone goes thru my speakes and I just talk back. After the call, my radio prgram comes back on. Finding Sonic was great. I'll probably be using them again.

Awesome

Works amazing, very powerful easy to wire. overall great product.
