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?)

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 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.
