i'm pretty happy with my car stereo purchase

[meltdown75]

i picked up a Sony head unit to replace my factory head unit in my '03 protege. i was looking for something with options to hook up my portable music device.

there were more expensive options which let you control your device directly from the head unit, but the kid working in the audio department said that there is no difference in quality compared to hooking it up through the AUX input, which is what this head unit has to offer.

i don't mind the AUX cord hanging about in my car. the head unit also made my car's factory speakers sound better. the HU also has bluetooth so when my shitty phone plan is done and i get a new cell phone with this century's technology, hopefully i can talk hands-free which seems to be the big feature on the head unit.

anyhoo just thought i'd throw that out there.

oh yeah and i'm glad i did the install myself. they wanted $50 at the place and it was quite easy.

Although, honestly I've never been a big fan of Sony HUs.

10/10 is a lot of pressure. :frown:

Oops, somebody already gave you one. I'm going to have to ask for that back, I don't want you blimping out on us.

I really wish I didn't know what the cookie was for.

I had the same reservations about buying a Sony HU.

I basically came down to the deal they had on it. regular $179.99 and they had it on sale on Boxing Day for $99. I'm thinking it was last year's model.

Did someone say Lifer?

Congrats on the upgrade. It's amazing the difference an aftermarket HU can make. I have a Pioneer unit in my Maxima with blue tooth. Love it! :thumbsup:

Thanks. How do like the bluetooth feature(s)? Do you use it a lot?

I also like that this HU came with a remote. Now I feel like reaching for the volume knob or buttons was a pain in the ass :Q

That's a pretty good reason, I can't blame you there
