Sound equaliser pre-sets are all noticeably different, some are better than others, it all comes down to taste and style of music played. For slower ballad style music I prefer space as it gives a lovely echo sound, on faster drum and bass style music Xplo is the choice for me, you can customize your own if you so wish. Usb and Mp3 cd's work great, and I ...more

Sony CDX GT420U: A low budget MP3/USB Head-Unit. (448 words)

I finally got my first car and wanted to personalise it just a little bit so that it really felt like 'my own'. I logged onto a local Car Audio website and found the Sony CDX GT420U at Half Price, so I decided to drive to the store and pick one up (which they also kindly fitted for me). The product is well packaged and comes with the two CD Player release prongs, and all the cabling you need (my car already had a signal booster for the arial, which is something you will need to purchase if you haven't already got one). Installation was very easy. The CD player turns on as it should, it very quickly finds radio stations and to displays the name ...  Read the complete review

I bought this unit for the last car that i owned. I thought that it did everything you could want from a low end head unit. There are so many features on it that are really advanced for the amount of money that you pay for it. It even has a headphone jack that you can pop your i pod into as well. Considering it is arounf the 80 pound mark i thought that this was an excellent little feature. My one even offered bluetooth compatibility with you phone a brilliant feature as it means that you odn't have to fork out for another handsfree kit, you can simply connect your phone to it wirelessly and accept iin coming calls at the touch of a button. The only thing ...  Read the complete review

I was forced into buying a new stereo when a cd became jammed in my BMW original factory fit stereo. I chose this one because it seemed such a good price for a fully featured Sony car stereo. I couldn't have made a better choice the sound is awesome! Installation was not easy, and I had to pay to have it fitted through Halfords. This was more to do with my Car (BMW) than the stereo, a hacksaw was eventually needed to remove the plastic surrounding the stereo. On any normal car, set-up would have been a breeze, so don't let it put you off too much. Set up is a sinch, and it was up an running in no time. Sound equaliser pre-sets ...  Read the complete review

I was very excited about ugrading from cassette player to CD player in my little car. I decided that for numerous reasons that I would get the Sony CDX GT420U, reasons such as being able to play numerous formats of CD, including MP3 disc. There is also an AUX plug which is fantastic if you have an Ipod or MP3 player. The stereo also looks fantastic, which is also an obvious benefit, be it for you to enjoy or if you're into "pimping your ride". The font fascia, like most other CD players does detach which is also helpful, it is very easy to install and took me a matter of minutes, and believe me, I am not great at any sort of installation!
