Sony CD Receiver with Bluetooth - MEX-BT2600 Review

great features for the price

"I wanted to wait some time before I wrote this review so I could play with this thing for a while. After about a month, I still LOVE IT! My stock stereo died and I wanted to get something with a lot of features for not a lot of money. The unit has handsfree talk capabilities through bluetooth so you can stream your calls through the car stereo (with a bluetooth enabled phone) and not have to wear one of those goofy earpieces! The bluetooth feature can also be used to stream music from a bluetooth enabled music player. For players without bluetooth, there is an aux input on the front of the unit that comes in very handy. The bluetooth works pretty well for handsfree phone calls, though I advise turning off your heat or a/c and rolling up windows when calling to reduce noise levels. Music streaming also works very well, though you may have to adjust the EQ for best quality.

One complaint, and this is admittedly trivial, is that I still cannot find a way to shut off the scrolling menu that advertises the features of the unit. You can set the default display to be track info, time, tuner, etc, however after 30 seconds or so of idle, the screen scrolls the features of the product. I already bought it! Quit advertising your features! I know what you can do! I will continue to try to find a way to stop this one hiccup.

Aside from that, my only other complaint is the hurting Best Buy put on me for installation charges. The service was great, it was done quickly (25-30 minutes for mine), it looks fantastic, and it's all guaranteed (hold onto your receipt), but it is pretty costly (mine cost me $110 to have installed!!!).

That aside, this is still the best car stereo I've ever owned or used."
