Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I needed a radio to control my 2nd gen Ipod Touch and my Samsung Blackjack via bluetooth, and this radio does both and provides excellent sound quality in a sleek looking package with intuitive controls.Installing was a breeze (my previous radio was a Sony so I did not have to install the wiring harness).Ipod controls sort your music by album, artist, genre, etc. on the radio display.Not something you want to do while driving, but navigating to another song or album at a stop light is a breeze.After connecting the phone via bluetooth, answering was simple.Just push a button.I purchased the external microphoneSony XAMC10 External Mic for BT (Black) as well as the radio so I can't speak to the internal mic's quality, but with the external mic I had no ptoblems.Includes a remote with the simpler functions on it.This radio also controls my Sony disc changer I have been using since the 90's.I've always loved Sony products, and this radio just supports my choice in equipment.Great price too; Sony lists this unit for $199.Only con so far is no built-in HD radio tuner, but until that tech takes off I wouldn't worry about it.
Here is Sony's page for this radio:
