I purchased this radio and installed it myself about a week ago. I love it. It looks great and it is so simple and easy to use!

I have no idea why people are saying the interface is bad and it takes a ton of clicks to get anywhere. Maybe they are taking the long way? It takes me no more than 5-10 seconds to make any adjustments. I also find the volume very easy to control. You don't accidentally enter any menus by adjusting the volume. You would definitely have to try to get into the menus.

The flip down to access the CD drive is great - it keeps it clean and lasts longer. The colors are great and the removable faceplate keeps the radio from being stolen.

The sound clarity is amazing as well. The USB port is great. I just plug in my iPod with the cable that came with it (same one you use to hook it up to your computer). It charges it and I can control the songs right from my radio! No sense in paying for the auxiliary cable PLUS cable to charge it because you can do it all through the USB that came with the iPod.

I'm beyond happy with my choice! I would highly recommend this radio and would definitely buy it again.
The only iPhone 3G compatible car stereo to date.

This is the only iPhone 3G compatible car stereo to date. I purchased one in Circuit City for a good bargain price because I purchased the GT820IP prior to this to find out that it doesn't charge my iphone (and also the latest ipods from what I heard). So I rushed back to Circuit City to ask why it doesn't charge. Then they recommended this one which is the only one that is compatible to my iPhone 3G.

They installed it and all and it doesn't come with a Sony Ipod Adapter. It's ok since it has the USB slot in front. You can plug your iphone data cable (that comes included with your iphone) and it works flawlessly. It charges and plays music.

The accessory mode is ON when you plug it but if you want to control the music using your iphone, it has this Passenger Mode feature that lets you control your iphone to play music. That means you can also watch movies and videos from your ipod. If you have a movie in your iphone, you can play it and hear the sounds in your car stereo. It's an awesome deal! You get an ipod and a video player all in one when you get to do long drives and watch movies for hours. The iphone maps feature assists you in driving as well (hope they'll be releasing their GPS software soon).

Basically it makes my iphone the ultimate car travel companion. I would prefer this to everyone. Only minor issue is sometimes my iPhone doesn't load when plugged. It happened to me twice but not a major drawback.
Nice radio

Bought this for my daughter and she loves it! the instructions from crutchfield were great and she installed it herself...now this is a girl who asks: what kind of screwdriver? plus sign or minus?
Outstanding iPhone 3G Compatibility!!

Reviewer: Moe,
I was skeptical of how well this would fit my needs. Most other 'works with iPhone' products are not as functional as they should be.

The good:
-The iPhone playlist ALWAYS resumes play where it left off! Great for podcasts and audiobooks!!
-I can control my iPhone through both the iPhone itself, and the stereo
-No need to buy another cable. iPhone plugs in using apple charging cable
-Sounds MUCH better than my previous sony 50watt x 4 stereo
-Much better radio reception than my previous sony stereo
-Simple user interface for radio preset programming. Much easier than my previous sony stereo
-Very easy to use track preview for iPod/iPhone. I didn't know I wanted this feature (Zappin), but it is VERY useful.

The bad:
-Install guide is a mix of 3 languages..... horrible!

The ugly:
-The system defaults to a DEMO mode, which displays a circus of flashing lights telling you how great sony thinks the radio is. VERY OBNOXIOUS AND DISTRACTING!!! I had to consult my operating instructions to find a way to turn off the rave lightshow.

Overall, the best under $200 car radio that I have ever owned.
The best car receiver for under $100

Reviewer: STELLER,
Forget using an fm transmitter for playing an ipod in your car. This receiver has many features, is easy to use and sounds great! Big ups to sony for using the same wiring harness so replacement of my old xplod unit took me only 20 minutes! My only gripe is that sony does not provide a case for the head unit. If it is still available for $100 or less, go get it. If not, it would make a great gift!
