About the Sony CDX-GT660UP

Sony's CDX-GT660UP CD receiver puts an impressive set of visual and audio delights at your fingertips. It'll match its display and button colors to your dash or the beat of your music, and gives you a variety of musical options — including in-dash control of PANDORA® Internet radio.

Sony's CDX-GT660UP CD receiver puts an impressive set of visual and audio delights at your fingertips. It'll match its display and button colors to your dash or the beat of your music, and gives you a variety of musical options — including in-dash control of PANDORA® Internet radio.

Tap into online music
If you're a fan of PANDORA®, you don't have to be told how cool it is to enjoy the music you love wherever there's an Internet connection. Connect your iPhone to the front USB input, and you'll be able to control PANDORA® from this Sony. Listen, rate, create — you'll have complete control.

You'll enjoy easy access to your iPod® or iPhone's music library, with Quick BrowZer, Jump, Zappin', and other Sony tools on hand to help you find the tunes you want, right away.

Dynamic Color Illuminator
It's fun to match the color of your new receiver to your dash lighting, but Sony's Dynamic Color Illuminator goes one better. Its Sound Synchronization feature changes the display colors to the beat of your music. It's a cool way to spice up your late-night cruising.

Awesome audio controls
Sony's Advanced Sound Engine offers sound quality that's several notches above most factory radios, with excellent dynamic range, stereo separation, and fidelity. You'll also find some nice touches like the Automatic Level Optimizer, which continually balances the output of your sources so the volume stays even from song to song.

The EQ7 7-band equalizer gives you lots of options for adjusting the sound to match your car. Sony's DM+ Advanced circuitry restores the details that are lost when you compress your digital music, so you enjoy the best possible sound from your MP3, WMA, or AAC files. And you can sit in the perfect stereo "sweet spot" by using the Listening Position time alignment tool.

Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls?
In most vehicles, you can use an adapter (not included) to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Sony stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the Sony, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls.

Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver or its optional iPod adapter.

    Remote Control

    Wireless Remote Control: The head unit comes supplied with an IR wireless remote control (RM-X211) for easy operation. The included wireless remote allows you to control the basic functions of the Sony head unit while keeping your eyes on the road.

    Steering Wheel Remote Compatibility: The head unit features an OEM steering wheel remote control input on the rear of the unit that lets you keep your vehicle's factory radio steering wheel remote controls when used with an optional steering wheel audio control adapter (sold separately). Please consult Crutchfield's Outfit My Car to see if your vehicle is compatible.

    Q
    I'm new to car audio. I wired my speakers directly to the RCA outputs and just slightly have sound when the head unit is maxed out on volume. Are the RCA outputs amp only?

    Hi Daniel: The RCA outputs indeed are amp only. Your speakers need to be connected directly to the unit. The instructions in your wire harness will give you the color codes.

    You will want to contact an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat to discuss compatibility with your system. They will be able to pull up your vehicle and see if this will integrate. If it does not, then they will also be able to discuss other options with you.
