Buyer Evaluations

I at all times purchased Sonys then tried pioneer for the reason that of XM radio and now thankfully am back! I will never ever decide to buy a Pioneer once more. Prior to this I owned one particular of the newest Pioneers, it price twice as significantly as this and flat out sucked. Pioneer head units are beyond complex - for no purpose! Identical attributes just uselessly complicated and not intuitive at all.
What I really like about this Sony. It has Pandora, it functions with my iPhone 4/iPod touch and MOST IMPORTANTLY and the Reason TO Invest in...
IT LETS YOU Control YOUR IPOD WITH THE IPOD!
This is tremendous. My pioneer made use of the head unit. It took forever to uncover my songs, my playlists, etc. and at 70mph I don't require to be seeking down for as well long. With this Sony you can put it on passenger manage mode and control the iPod making use of the iPod. As effortlessly as you choose a song on your iPod is how effortless it will operate! This was why I purchased this Sony, nobody else I found lets you do this and trust me this is the reason to get a Sony.
If you love Pandora and Ipods - you live by them and use them each day, this is the head unit for you and the cost can't be beat. If you have one thing other than an iPhone be careful though. You will will need a single of the other new Sonys. I chose this one mainly because I have an iPhone and I wanted the newer SiriusXM tuner - the universal tuner. Sony does make a head unit that has pandora for blackberrys, androids, and iPhones but it utilizes the old satellite tuners. Not a major deal, but the universal tuner is a lot smaller and will function with any head unit in the future. The old tuners are brand distinct. You want the Sony for a Sony, Pioneer for a pioneer, and so on. and they cost twice what this new tuner costs.
I can't suggest this head unit any alot more, I am amazed at it is simplicity and ease of use. Sony's passenger manage mode for the iPod is beyond brilliant. I now enjoy to drive and listen to my iPod again. The worth can not be beat either.

I not too long ago purchased a utilized Ford F350 which nonetheless had the old factory head unit. I wanted XM Radio for the lengthy drives to the race track and this supports the new "SiriusXM Ready" antennas and seemed to be 1 of the least expensive approaches to get XM in my truck (~$200 for every thing such as mounting hardware and adapters).
Simply put, this just works. It was very easy to install (comprehend I am likely above average when it comes to these sorta items, but everyone who is relatively mechanically inclined need to be able to figure it out). I've also tried the Pandora function with my iPhone 4S and it operates fantastic. Not sure how normally I'll use that honestly, but it's nice that the USB port charges my telephone so I don't have to have to use a cigarette lighter power adapter.
My only wishes are:
1. It did bluetooth for handsfree talking. But seriously for about $110, that is asking as well substantially.
2. The display is straightforward to read, but doesn't give useful details. Essentially on my old (and substantially much more highly-priced) Alpine head unit, when you're listening to XM Radio, the artist is on one line and the song is on the other. But with this, the supply name (like Pandora or FM1 or CD) is on the initially line and the second line can be channel name, artist name, song name, and so on, but you have to cycle via them.
3. The front face is removable for anti-theft, but honestly I am not thrilled with the style. It really is not super robust. As long as you are reasonably cautious, I wouldn't worry about it, just do not be rough. Once more, my Alpine is a much better design and it came with a good case for the face although the Sony did not come with a case.
This isn't a "high end" head unit for good audio, but if you happen to be searching for a thing that can do just about every thing, it really is tough to argue about the cost.
