Amazing In-Dash

This head unit really has impressed me. It had everything that i was looking for in a new head unit and then some.

I was looking for and researching a new head head unit for over a month before i decided to get this one. I was replacing an aftermarket head unit which had CD changer controls and that limited my options quite a bit. This head unit does everything. I can play CDs from my 10-disc changer in the trunk, a CD in the head unit itself, music from my ipod through the direct connect, or music through a front side aux! Oh, and it has a radio tuner too... but i don't use that. The best part is how smooth the unit it. I can switch between cd and ipod flawlessly. This is perfect because i drive a lot of people and music plays an important role in entertaining.

The iPod controls are fantastic. Very easy to navigate through the iPod. I was worried about how easy it would be before i got the unit because i has hundreds and hundreds of artists on my iPod. This unit make it super simple to find exactly what your looking for and it can do it fast. This surpassed my expectations by far. The direct connect come out the rear or the unit so i wired it into my glove compartment. i like it because it keeps my iPod out of sight.

The Head unit looks really good. You can change to other colors, but blue really does look the best.

If you are looking for a head unit to do everything, this is it. well, everything except for navigation i guess...

Great price for a amazing unit!

Sirius Tuner

Has anyone ever had any issues with the tunner not picking up the signal from the Sirius radio? Everything functions as it is supposed to and works great except for the Sirus Radio. I get a great signal in the morningings but after I turn off the power for any lenght of time, it doesnt come back on. I am not sure it it is the Radio or the external tuner.

Thank for any help on this.

Perfect for Ipod use

I bought the sony CDX-GT820IP about 4 months ago after owning a JVC Hd radio. It comes with a Ipod cord already attached to it so all you have to do is plug the Ipod in. This has been the best head unit i have ever owned, the ease of scrolling through your ipod on the face plate is incredibly easy and is extremely easy to learn. A new feature it has on it is "jump mode" which if you have a large database of artists, tracks or songs on a play list allows you to scan through by jumping up to 50 entries at a time to find what you need faster.

The design looks very slick i have recieved so many compliments on how it looks, the display portion and how well it makes music sound. It has the ability to control the sound very well, with Highs, Mids and Lows all being able to be adjusted from 1-10 Db. As welll as the frequency that it picks up.

Overall I think very highly of this head unit and would suggest it to anyone that enjoys being able to fine tune the sound of thier system and would like to easily control their Ipod on the head unit.

I hope this helped

Great iPod Stereo!!

I researched iPod capable units for about a month, reading reviews and shopping prices. I focused on Sony because their units seemed to have everything I wanted and were priced well. So, I ordered the CDX-GT820IP for its iPod cable and nicer screen. I got the unit this week (fast shipping!!), had it installed today and WOW!!!

Great unit! I haven't played with all the features yet, but the iPod integration is flawless. Sony seems to have fixed all the problems that I read people were having with the display, search and resume functions of the older iPod adapter. Pretty much the HU does everything the iPod does. Plus, it does resume at the spot you left off on your iPod.

Pros: iPod integration, animated display (like on pricey units), aux on front, good sound, easy menu navigation (I read complaints about this, but I found it easy and intuitive, PRICE (great on Sonic Electronix), and it looks high end

Cons: Haven't found any yet.

The only problem I have with this stereo is about the ipod interface. If you browse the ipod through the stereo and play a song, when you browse again it always starts at the beginning and you have to go all the way back to where you want. Its not like an actual ipod where it remembers what album you were in. This gets annoying when you have thousands of songs/albums to sort through to get to what you want. Otherwise, the sounds quality is very good and the ipod interface is lag free and clear.
