This Sony features a user-friendly control panel, including preset buttons and an auxiliary input.

Plenty of bang for your buck

Sony's provided a built-in 3-band equalizer so you can tweak the bass, midrange, and treble to get your music sounding just right. If you've got a sub in your car, you can use the receiver's high-pass filter to trim the low bass out of your speakers, so the built-in amp can rock louder without distortion. Sony's proud of their Digital Clarity tuner that reduces interference and increases separation for excellent AM/FM reception. You can play your storebought CDs or discs loaded with MP3/WMA music, and the front auxiliary input makes it easy to jam out with just about any portable device. Sony includes a wireless card remote so you can control all this entertainment.

Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls?

In most cars, you'll need an adapter to retain those controls with this car stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and radio, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. You'll see the adapters that work with your vehicle when you add this receiver to your cart.

    Crutchfield always seems to have all the correct adapters for any application. If you can take your old radio out theres no reason you couldnt install this unit.

    crutchfield has a wiring adapter for specific vehicles. I can only give info on install for my vehicle, a 1998 Honda civic. I thought that this was going to be a difficult install, but with the wiring adapter and crutchfields install directions, it was fairly easy.

    If you buy the wiring harness that fits the car you are installing it in it will be easy. it was a plug and play for the car I put it in. I don't remember if they called it an install kit or wiring harness conversion or what but it all just plugged together nicely and it had a faceplate that fit the dash nicely.

    my ipod plugs in with a cable and yes you will need a trim kit
    james  Feb 21, 2014

    It comes with a 3.5 headphone jack in the front. so if you use a male to male 3.5 audio cable,then yes you can use your Sony music player. but no USB ports. as far as the trim plate goes I'm not sure. if you searched for audio devises by car the crutch field will suggest exactly what you need.

    How many presets does this stereo have? Also will I need to buy some kind of kit with this so it will fit inside my 1999 Subaru forester?
    david  Jan 06, 2014
    1 answer
    A
    there are six preset buttons which I believe can be set for fm1, fm2 and am. I have only used the fm1 presets so far. When I bought mine, I entered the make and model of my car and they only referred me to the players that would fit. Mine did require a kit to attach it. The should let you know that.

    Hey Jacob I purchased this for my 2005 Toyota Camry. I have stock speakers and I do hear a difference in the sound. I would recommend getting a receiver with a usb port. I found myself wishing I bought the Sony with it.
