Stops just shy of perfect
By Michael
This stereo has all the bells and whistles in a very reasonably priced unit. Bluetooth for hands-free cellphone use, Bluetooth streaming of music, (18) presets for FM, (12) presets for AM, Aux input, USB input for phone or flash drive, CD drive, rear inputs for RCA connections in addition to traditional harnesses, SiriusXM ready with (18) presets when that tuner is attached, rear mic input, and more! I am blown away by what it offers BUT... The display is beautiful and crisp with the ability to set it in any of thousands of custom colors and it has plenty of informational icons and letters to let you be fully aware of the current settings but the one thing they failed to do is utilize a multi-line display for all of the data that is transmitted with radio signals today. You instead have a single line that you must utilize to scroll through information like Artist Name, Album Name, Song Name, Current Channel/Frequency, Channel Name, etc. Now, this is the salvation for that oversight...the radio has an app! Once I downloaded the app and connected my iPhone via USB, I was greeted with a phenomenal graphic interface that had all the information listed above and more. My iPhone suddenly became a device that controlled every aspect of the radio (switching inputs, changing channels, advancing tracks, etc.) and was more intuitive than a mere remote could be. I'm so happy with the app, that I am looking to get a mount for my iPhone to keep it convenient and at the end of my fingertips while I drive. BUT, again, I still have disappointment over the single line data display on the unit and feel any thoughts towards purchasing of this unit take that firmly into consideration. So, it's a 4.5 but I had to round up as a courtesy to everything else the radio offers.

A nice upgrade.
By C
I bought a used car recently with a broken radio. I got a good deal on it, so I got this head unit as a replacement.
Features I love:
Bluetooth pandora control. I can change stations, thumbs up/down/skip tracks, pause/play the app through the radio. If you're having trouble, you do need to tick a setting on the phone app called "enable wireless control of pandora" which wasn't mentioned in the instructions.
Aux input. A convenient feature when I want to listen to a podcast on my mp3 player instead of something on my phone.
Voice control. There's a (wired) microphone you mount on your visor. From it, you can voice dial, or really control any of your phone's voice-activation features, like voice-to-text. I love being able to take calls without picking up my phone.
Rear Bass Enhance (RBH). My car does not have a subwoofer, but you can enable this feature to increase the bass coming from the rear speakers, creating a subwoofer-like balance.
Power. This radio is rated at 52W for 4ohm speakers, but my factory-installed speakers are 10ohm. It still gets plenty loud.
Downsides:
Depending on what color you pick for the display, it can be difficult to read during the daytime. Sometimes the pandora app sync can be a bit wonky. (I use a Samsung Epic 4G). Like with any bluetooth device, you do sacrifice some audio quality. Even though the harness for this head unit has the orange wire for the display to dim with the cabin lights (you also have to enable the feature in the display menu), it really only seems to have two brightness settings. I find the interface intuitive, but for people who aren't great with technology, this radio really isn't a great choice. Doesn't support HD radio. Also I guess it's not a downside, but who the hell uses an infrared remote for a car stereo. That doesn't even make any sense.

Awesome Head Unit!
By EJ
Needed to upgrade my stereo in my 2001 Impala. Double Din was the way to go, so it would look good in the dash. I chose this unit because Sony has always been my electronics brand of choice, and it has all the features I wanted. The install was pretty straight-forward, but I would not do it yourself if you have no experience. The Bluetooth feature works great with my iPhone 5. Now having a wireless stereo makes my life easier, as I have used a cassette adapter for years. Syncing to the phone was seamless, and the sound quality is perfect. Even FM radio stations sound 100x better than my old stock head unit. If you have a newer car I would recommend a computer interface as well as the wiring harness, because this retains most of the car's features such as chimes, blind spot warnings and rear view camera alerts.
