My experience don't go sony. Try Alpine of Pioneer, If you want a good MP3 player for $200.00 look on ebay. For example you can get the the DEH-P740MP for around $200.00

I don't know about recent sony stuff, but my 7 year old mobile ES sony hu has been in serivce for 7 years now, without a glitch (until a week ago). Even the Sony service centre was shocked that it lasted so long.

It had quite a host of features that i liked about it. TOo bad it's now shutting on and off when the bass gets too heavy...**** testing CD's...

WEll, I'm now in the market for a hu, and I gotta go sony cause I bought a new CD changer (CDX-757MX) like 3 days ago. It loads CD's and mp3's faster than my old one and much smaller too. I'm now eyeing the CDX-m70 or the m630. Too bad both of them have 2V outputs. My old one had 4V...*sigh*... I live in the past way too much...

gotta get me an audiocontrol 4xs at the same time. SHeesh, the things I gotta do to uprage a few things...
