Sony MEX-N5000BT (Ships as MEX-N5100BT) - Customer Ratings & Reviews

Satisfied Owner

Very great value for such a complete package. Bought this model for the bluetooth phone option and phone quality is really good; clear for both parties in a call. Sound quality is good, with very deep EQ settings. Radio quality is lacking, but with all these connection options, I wouldn't say I miss it.

Pros
Very technologically advanced.
Many connection options; stream via Bluetooth, AUX Cable, USB Cable/drive, Bluetooth Pandora, etc.
Bluetooth and NFC works well.
Great value for a very complete package.
Phone quality is very good - clear for both parties in a call.

Cons
Limited display options; cannot show current time and track title together.
Does not continuously auto scroll current title if track name is too long; will auto scroll it once, and then display the first few characters of the song title.
Confusing buttons layout; no dedicated Play/Pause button, Stop, etc.
Radio sound quality is worse than stock radio (or this has much better sound quality and shows the poor non-HD radio sound?)

reat item

good item for vehicle. awesome sound, good quality like the color changes

Excellent Buy

This was by far one of the best Bluetooth ready stereos that I have seen and they have the best deal on it by far. Not only was I able to get the radio that I needed with all the features that I was looking for and many more, but they took the extra effort to make sure that I received all the necessary accessories in order to make my install quick and painless. I'm still trying to figure out all the great features that this deck has and would highly recommend this stereo and Sonic Electronix to anyone as the best place to find what you're looking for.

Good Purchase for the Price

This is a great "basic aftermarket stereo set-up" head unit. For Bluetooth, aux, and usb you can't beat this price. Installed in my wife's vehicle, it looks good with its fo-carbon fiber trim and selectable color display. It powers four Pioneer 2-way speakers well and clear. There are a lot of features to play around with in the menu also. I gave it four stars because the 12 hour clock goes from 11:00 to 0:00. (ex. 12:25 will display as 0:25, but will return to 1:00 on the hour.)

Nice Sony

Bought this to replace cassette player in my 15 yr old motorhome. Installation was easy. Wiring diagram was not hard to follow and the Bluetooth was great. Added new Boss speakers and the whole system sounds great plus the cost was very reasonable.

Absolutely love it

Pros
- bluetooth (audio, phone, pandora)
-Mic (you can use your phones voice command)
-Nfc touch pairing (works perfectly)
-Aux and usb input
-6 rca preouts (4 speaker,2 sub)
-Quite abit of display, connection, and sound settings/customizeabilty
-Display dims when turning on your lights
-Looks great sounds great

Cons
-Complex at first( basic features are pretty simple, mostly figuring all the extra settings and customization takes alittle bit, I personally find it fun though still finding new hidden things
-Clock goes to 0 after 11 instead of 12 in the hour place

I bought this 2 months ago and im so happy with this product, Incredible deal. Its got all the
features, you could want, and with sonys android app, 'app remote' you can use virtually any app via bluetooth. The nfc pairing is awesome, probably why I chose it over other similar stereos as well as the price. It takes a little bit to figure it everything out, but thats pretty normal considering all the features and settings it has in its single-din size. The audio quality is great as well as the subwoofer sound quality. I was a bit worried about the 2volt preamp output not 5v since its a bit controversial whether more volts give you better sound quality, but my sub sounds great. If I had any real complaint it would be the regular blue isnt quite as pure blue as my amps lit up logo and with sonys android app cuz you cant have a preset source to automatically start when you connect but you dont have to use that and they may update app again.

Would definately recommended this, theres not much out there with this many features, honestly id prolly prefer this headunit even if I had more money to spend. If you have a nfc capable smartphone take advantage of it, its awesome, if not this is still an excellent headunit, and im always impressed with sonics great service fast shipping, and can generally find promo codes.

Fantastic head unit

I have owned this for about 2 months. The Blue tooth mic is crisp and clean for calls. I also love using the voice commands.

Most of my play time so far has been BT Pandora. Music is always clean and very impressive. I am in the process of installing two sets of 6.5 components in each door as well as a Sundown Audio Zv4 18.

I would recommend this to everyone.

Great stereo

i really glade that I've bought this device .. so clear a crisp sound
better than the stock.

GREAT VALUE

ILL B ORDERING MORE ITEMS FROM HERE. ALL MY FRIENDS ARE HAPPY WITH THE ORDERS ALSO.

Great Radio

The sound quality is great as you would expect from Sony. The call quality is amazing especially if you mount the microphone well. On top of it all the app control is really cool and makes the radio like a touch screen but a really good touch screen.

great prices

The audio system work out great fast shipping great customer service had a problem with the first unit they refund my money real quick I felt customer service was great so I purchased another unit. I would order again from sonic.

GREAT FOR THE MONEY!!

WOW for the price and what you get is incredible.I love the remote app, its like having a very good touchscreen and it works very well but still buggy with some features. I personally do not use the remote app bc the voice control app isn't as functional as s-voice on my note 4. The blue-tooth mic is OK. clear on the other end but said i was slightly raspy. Probably because of my car is straight piped haha. takes a slight learning curve but overall very easy to use.

PROS:
blue-tooth 3.1 (with multi device connect)
remote app
many audio features
high quality buttons and feel

CONS:
remote app voice control isn't as functional as s-voice...

awesome

This is a easy to use stereo it has plenty of power for me i think it is a solid buy worth the money

Pretty!

First of all, this company is AMAZING! I will never shop anywhere else. No sales tax for this product and shipping was free. It arrived the very day it said it would and the installation kit was perfect!
I got this stereo for my husband for Christmas. He does NOT work on cars at all and was able to install this himself with no problem! The colors change on the face consistantly and they are SO PRETTY! We love this stereo and it's just what we wanted.
As a girl, this is pretty much all I can say about this product. Nothing too technical - Just that it sounds great, it's everything I wanted and it is super pretty!

Good Unit On A Budget

I personally have had a great experience with this unit in the past month that I've had it. Considering this is my first unit ever purchasing and installing, it was an all around experience. It did take some time to figure out how to navigate the settings and figure out what they actually did, but it was not very hard once referencing the owners manual. The backlight color is pretty cool and there are many to choose from. The one thing that I did notice was that you need to select a color scheme for the color to react to the sound, which took a little while to figure out. The Bluetooth works great, no issues there. The call quality is great, people usually do not even realize that I'm in the car since the microphone is pretty good with noise reduction. The one issue that I have is not really an issue with the unit, but with the compatibility with the app that you can download to control your unit. Sometimes when opening the app something happens where you are unable to utilize all of your options for playback.

Overall I really like this piece of equipment and I use it daily. It's awesome and sounds great!

best deck for the price

If you are looking for a solid great sound with ease and great price look no further. This Sony deck is by far the nicest and most cost-effective deck you could purchase. I highly recommend comparing it to others of greater cost. Do yourself a favor and just give his one a try you won't regret it.

Sony MEX-N5000BT

Great lil' single din head unit, great price and better than expected results.

Incredible

Great product, Really low prices and fast shipping. Thank You!!

Nice radio

Great overall head unit, nice improvements from the previous model. The quick connect via NFC is pretty cool and seamless. For the price you can't beat it.

Great for the price

This headunit does everything I need it to. The sound it makes when it powers down is very annoying, I haven’t looked through the settings to see if I can disable that.

Great product

Very good and clear sounds good works with my phone fast shipping

1989 YJ Jeep install

I read a blog previously that some drilling was required. The studs do not align with speaker holes. I didn't expect how much work would be involved installing these speakers where the originals were located. After lowering the windshield, finding I could not unbolt the rusted bolts across the top of the dash, I pried the lower part of the dash away and broke off the studs that mounted the factory speakers. (I did this with a 1'4" thick board and shallow hole near the end.) Then drilled new holes and mounted them with new bolts. Speakers work as expected, I'd probably do it again for the price I paid.

Great Deck

This deck is really good connects about 98% of the time. FYI there is no deck that connects 100% of the time. The sound quality is what I expected from a Sony product and it's lasting way past the factory warranty. Also all the features work good and the brightness of the display is great. Brightness is not so good on my newer double din Sony deck WX920BT.
