Pros: easy to use great value
Cons: none to mention
"I had an old exploder but needed to replace it because it didn't have any pre-outs for a sub. I got this one and was more than happy. I didn't think it could sound better than the old one, but was proved wrong. This head unit is amazing for the price you pay. It really gets the best sound out of your speakers."

After reading lots of reviews decided to go for this great Sony CD Radio. The installation is simple.The best feature in this radio is USB/iPOD connectivity so no more cd.

Pros: separate aux input level
Cons: no bass and treble settings, having to turn it on every time i insert the facia, no dedicated on/off or mute switch
"I haven't yet used the USB port (my iPod is dead and is yet to be replaced) but I have used the AUX input with my iPod Shuffle. This is a much better product than the JVC I bought for my Rover a couple of years ago. I particularly like the separate AUX audible settings as this allows me to play the Shuffle in the car without turning the volume up on it massively and having to remember to turn it down before using with my headphones when I using it out of the car! My only gripe is that it doesn't seem to have separate Bass and Treble settings, maybe I haven't found this yet. Great sound quality from the Radio, CD and AUX, even through the standard Citroen speakers. I'm even thinking of buying it again and replacing the JVC in my Rover (which doesn't have separate AUX audible settings)!"

Pros: excellent unit easy to operate and fabulous sound
Cons: nothing but use loudness button for optimum sound
"Bought this yesterday for my small Suzuki Alto with some Alpine small dash speakers and I am well impressed with the sound, it has the same amp output specifications as the more expensive Sony's and as I do not need bluetooth because it has an Aux line input for my mp3 and Nokia music express which as everyone knows it is always a better sound quality by line than wireless.it meets my needs perfectly.
one tip to other buyers is go through the menu until you find the loudness button and switch it to on and wow what a fantastic sound through the small dash speakers,I leave the loudness button on all the time and it is fantastic.this was fitted by Chris at the Ferndown branch who spent alot of time with me testing various speakers ,well recomended and fitted the unit and speakers for me on same day visit,a man who knows his stuff thank you

"This is a really nice stereo, it will read tracks directly from your iPod/iPhone or even a USB memory stick. Easy to install and easy to use, did take me 5mins to figure out how to find tracks on the iPod, but after a quick look through the manual it was very easy."
