Nice inexpensive radio, cd player, sounds good, nice clean sub output, easy install.. aux input worked nice also.. still like Sony

I wanted a replacement for my very old car stereo because it didn't have anyway of hooking up my iPod. The previous stereo was a very old Sony Explode, it worked great for many years but it was time to move on to better things.

And here I was back at Amazon for another Sony Explode. A great and simple removable faceplate with an AUX input (regular mini-jack) to connect my iPod. I also feel it gets much better radio reception/tunning and all in all it sounds great and loud enough for most people. I personally don't like to feel my entire car vibrate when listening to music, nor do I care to share my music with my entire neighborhood as I drive by.

So, check it out. It doesn't have all the amazing features you can find, but for the price it's great.

I got this for my old Ford pickup, and (apart from removing the old radio) installation was easy. I didn't have a harness converter, but the directions identified the wires well enough for me to make my own. One thing I would suggest that is not in the instructions is to reassemble the dashboard before inserting the support frame, as the black outside ring didn't fit the slot, but would have sat nicely on the face of the dashboard (I just left it off).

This is a great unit that sounds great. My only complaint is that while it reads CD text, it doesn't capture MP3 text from the radio (so you can see what song is playing). I might someday look for a model that does that.

I bought this unit from Best Buy last year and put it in my 94 Camry XLE and it kicks my Pionner 6" 3-way speakers nice. I am installing my subs next week and I will update this once I get them hooked up. This is an easy install if you get the wiring harness and is awesome with the XPLOD setting on. The bad thing is it does get very hot but does not damage the unit or anything around it. AUX is a BIG bonus.

The Sony CDX-GT130 Car Stereo Receiver is fancy and "cool" looking right out of the box. The volume button is covered in a soft rubber, and therefore easy to adjust. The display looks nice at night, and good during the day. In really direct sunlight it may be hard to see the LCD screen, but otherwise its viewable at all times.

There's a good number of preset options for your radio, and lots of sound equalizers you can play with. Directions were good enough. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase.

this product is very good it would be better if it had a remote or can play mp3 cd but overall its a good upgrade from a stock deck would recommand
