About the Sony WX-GT80UI

Ken Nail

App control and killer looks

Sony's App Remote feature lets your iPhone® and the WX-GT80UI CD receiver work together to control select apps. You can use your iPhone's touchscreen to select sources, pick radio stations, and launch apps. At the same time, you can select apps using the receiver's source button, the same way you'd choose the CD player or radio as your source.

You can use your iPhone's touchscreen to select sources, pick radio stations, and launch apps. At the same time, you can select apps using the receiver's source button, the same way you'd choose the CD player or radio as your source.

And this receiver will look awesome in your dash. The 4" tall front panel offers an expansive display area, with a prominent control knob and colorful backlighting. You can choose from over 35,000 colors to create the perfect look — while the Sound Synchronization feature pulses the illumination in sync with the music.

Sony WX-GT80UI

App Remote lets you select iPhone apps with this Sony's controls, and use your phone as a remote control.

Plenty of media options

The WX-GT80UI is ready for your mobile devices — you can plug your iPhone®, Android™, or Blackberry™ into the front USB input and access your stored music. Plus you can tune in your favorite Pandora® Internet radio stations when your iPhone is connected. You can also connect SiriusXM's compact tuner (not included) to this receiver, and enjoy the exceptional news, talk, sports, and music programs offered on satellite radio. The aux input on the front panel will handle almost any other audio source.

Sound quality that matches the looks

What's the point of installing high-performance car audio equipment if your car stereo only has bass and treble controls? This Sony offers the tools you need to get the most out of your gear. Sony's Digital Music Plus (DM+) enhancer renergizes your compressed music. Then you can tweak your tone curve with the built-in 7-band EQ, while two sets of preamp outputs make it easier to get powerful, clean performance from your amps.

The digital time alignment features allows you to time your speakers to create a perfect stereo "sweet spot." The Rear Bass Enhancer eliminates mids and highs from your rear speakers, pulling the soundstage forward and reinforcing your bass. You can use the low-pass filters to adjust the bass coming from your subs, and the high-pass filters to trim low frequencies out of your full-range speakers so they play more efficiently.

Want to keep your steering wheel 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 receiver, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Check the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters.

Note: The App Remote feature only launches iPhone apps that have been registered with Sony.

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.

    CEA2006 Compliant Amplifier: The power specifications for the Sony WX-GT80UI are compliant with the CEA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement standards from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards were developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to model and between manufacturers. The power output specs for the WX-GT80UI are as follows:

    Subwoofer Controls: When the unit's subwoofer output is activated, the preamp output becomes non-fading and a low pass filter is activated with a selectable cut-off frequency of 50Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz, or Off. You can also adjust the slope (1/2/3) of the low-pass crossover. You can adjust the subwoofer preamp output's volume level independently from the head unit's volume control from -10 to +10 in 1dB increments. In addition, you can select the phase of the subwoofer output from Normal or Reverse.

    Subwoofer Direct Connection: You can connect a subwoofer to this head unit without the need of a separate power amplifier. Simply connect a single subwoofer (4-8 ohm) directly to head unit's left or right rear speaker leads (but not both). Same subwoofer controls apply.

    • Listening Position: This unit can change the localization of sound by delaying the sound output from each speaker to suit your position, and simulate a natural sound field with the feeling of being in the center of it wherever you sit in the car. You can choose from Front Right, Front Left, Front Center, or Off. You can also set the subwoofer distance of the subwoofer to Near, Normal, or Far
    • RBE (Rear Bass Enhancer): RBE enhances the bass sound by applying the low-pass filter setting to the rear speakers. This function allows the rear speakers to work as a subwoofer even if there is no subwoofer connected.
    • Dynamic Loudness: Dynamic Loudness refers to compensating for volume level & signal gain.
    • DM+ Advanced: DM+ Advanced improves digitally compressed sound by restoring high frequencies lost in the compression process (works only for USB).

    • Start White: When you power-on the head unit, the color of the unit's display and buttons turn white and then the color changes to your chosen customize color. You can enjoy this effect whenever the source is turned on.

    Motion Display: This feature shows moving patterns and a spectrum analyzer on the display when turned on.

    Auto Scroll: This feature allows long displayed items to scroll automatically across the display when the track is changed on a disc.

    Display Illumination/Clock Display: Pressing the Source/Off button once will switch sources. Pressing and holding the Source/Off button for one second will turn off audio output, but the clock display and button illumination remain on.

    I have the Iphone 4S and it should work the same on the Iphone 5. Having connectivity with the USB should charge your phone as well as displaying the phone contents on the stereo screen.
