Sony CDX-GT56UI (Ships as CDX-GT570UP)

Love this radio

This is my third Sony unit that I've bought in a row. One of them has a couple less features than this, the other has a couple more. All of them have the USB port on the front and are satellite ready.Once you've had satellite radio, and the ipod feature, you can't go back to regular radio.
One thing that I don't like is that the buttons on the front are small. I would think that this is a common complaint. I don't believe that any other stereos, that have the same features, have any bigger faces.
Very happy with this purchase.

excellent product

Features of a much higher end unit in an affordable price range for budget minded audiophiles.

Sony-CDX-GT570UP

Needed a new stereo for my motocross camping trailer. The Sony pops right in, works great.

Very Happy

I was especially impressed with the quality of both radio tuners. Usually, aftermarket radios have decent FM, but horrible AM. This unit has GREAT AM and FM. The USB port is easy to use and gives me the ability to play 30 or 40 hours of music with any pattern I wish.

wow im so impressed with sonic electronix!!!

I love the sony radio cd and ipod stereo i purchased through sonix and the support i needed for the install i would refur my friends to this store thank you!!!

Great bang for the buck but display too bright, plays AAC files

This unit is great bang for the buck! One of the few out there that plays AAC files as well as MP3 and WMA. It has a customizable 7 band EQ that does a great job of shaping the sound to your tastes, most other units at this price point offer much less. Lots of nice sound settings including Loudness, Subwoofer settings, speaker time delays, etc. Menu tree is confusing at first but you quickly get the hang of it. Removable faceplate cannot be bolted to the unit and the reminder beep cannot be turned off (even though the manual says it can). Seems a little plasticky but that's to be expected at this price point.

The display is too bright at night, even on the Dim setting. If that and matching the display color to your car is important to you, spend a little more and get the Sony CDX-GT575UP (same chassis and features but adds custom color display). Great job Sony!

Perfect Radio

This headunit is perfect for the guy/girl on a budget but want the most BANG for the BANK. The EQ7 settings are great, not to mention the front USB/AUX. Pandora support works wonderfully and thank goodness for the dimmer option because is does look like I'm being followed by the troopers at night with the blue glow. I have owned the headunit for almost a week now and have yet to find a problem with it yet. The actual radio is nice 3 FM setting giving you 18 presets.

PROS:
Value
Options for listening to your music through USB/AUX/Radio
Removable DIN face for security

CONS:
Little bright on the eyes at night (but can be changed)

All in all, a great headunit for the money, definitely worth the money.

Nice speakers for the price.

Nice sound for the price. Not much bass at all but acceptable given the size and price of the speakers. Would have liked speaker covers to protect them since my use was not in a dash or doors.

excelent product

This is my second Sony from Sonic Electronix and I couldn't be happier, great product, and great service as well.
