Two cons ...

My problems seem to be with the faceplate. First it's plastic but it really FEELS plastic. I don't know how much abuse I would put up with but it feels easily breakable. The faceplate doesn't come with a box/container. That's bad.

Sony CDX-GT565UP KICKS @ss!!

Let's just say that the sound quality needs to be a close A+ for me to be satisfied and this one beat out the 2nd most expensive PIONEER & the 2nd most expensive KENWOOD in Best Buy. I do have to say the most expensive Sony deck that was at B.B. was also returned. What i did purchase, was the CDX_GT565UP and Im glad because of the awesome color selection!
I have 2 10" amplified subs, 2 amplified 6x9 Alpines & 2 seperate amplifiers in the rear. And the usual 6" door speaks and 3-1/4 in. dash speaks. So with 2 preouts I'm able to run whatever, whenever and the sound is wonderful. Believe me, my last thought was wanting to get a SONY! But i personally tried practically every deck I could w/out going NUTS! And this was the final purchase. So good luck and keep it LOUD & PROUD!!!

Great HU

Hooked up very nicely with the included Dash kit and Wire harness in my 03 Acura CL. This unit looks great at night, my factory Bose speakers sound 100 times better now that I have this hooked up. Navigating the menu's on this unit is a bit daunting if you're not tech savvy, but they're easy to understand if you read the manual to see what each option does. I highly recommend this unit!

Sweet head unit!

Unit has alot of great features and I would recommend it to others.

Good Radio

It's a decent unit but the tone controls are a bit tough to use and doesn't contour the sound close enough to my liking but the features are great and it works well.

Perfect Product

I bought this for my 95 camry because i wanted subs and in order to get sub outputs u need a new radio so i bought this and the color changability is fun to mess around with. GREAT HEADUNIT!!!!!

Decent HU

Bought this for my '07 Cobalt. Fitment's not awesome. It sticks out about an inch or two on the right hand side where the RCA hookups for my amp are. Other than that, it's an awesome HU. Very easy to use. The color changing is a nice feature. You can even set it to go in sync with the music. Gets a lil annoying after a long period of time, but you can just change that.

Recommend this to anyone who's looking for affordable & happiness with a good/easy HU.

Great value, great sound

I decided on this sony head unit for my 1994 Acura Integra GSR and am so glad I did. The previous owner had a Kenwood 3-band EQ head unit and it sounded alright, but just not enough control over sound. So I opted for the Sony and couldn't be happier. It took a little adjusting to get used to the menu to adjust features just like with any new head unit these days. I recommend at least browsing over the manual if you want to learn how to change lcd colors and take the stupid DEMO mode off and set the clock to the right time. Overall the sound is awesome on this head unit! 7-band EQ is a must for me because I listen to a variety of music from heavy metal to reggae so custom programmable 7-band is great. I've yet to hook up any subwoofers to see how the low end sounds, but I'm sure it is top notch. The built in amp delivers plenty power to my 5.25" and 6x9" pioneer's in the front and back respectively. If you do have speakers that require more than 20watts rms I'd get an amp just so you can get the best possible sound when it is turned loud. I've had this head unit 6 months now and it is still going strong as day 1!

great value

I ordered this stereo for temporary use and i ended up leaving it in my truck for over a year. Overall its easy to use, sounds good, and looks pretty spiffy.
