Awesome Media Player by Cooter on crutchfield.com Apr 14, 2011
I just put the Sony DSX-S100 in my 2001 Chevy Silverado last week, and I couldn't be more pleased. The installation was easy and it took about 15 min. Crutchfield helped make it easy by giving you everything you need to install the player. The features ...
 
Sony delivers a head unit that is right on time. by mikejadotcom on cnet.com Aug 27, 2010
This is a perfect buy for anyone who has an ipod , walkman , or large usb loaded w music who doesn't want to carry around a cd case full of there favorite albums. Other units of the same concept run $100 more on up so for the price it is an awesome value. ...
 
This thing is AWESOME!!! by E. Larreau on amazon.com May 9, 2012
I don't care for CD players anymore, haven't for a while... I don't need a DVD screen or any of that... my last two stereos were off-brand units that both had USB and SD card slots... the first, a VR3 I bought on Amazon a couple years ago, was great but ...

One star rating is too much!!! by Penchant on amazon.com Jun 4, 2012
This car stereo is the biggest piece of garbage I have ever bought, and it proves that Sony has lost its edge in all aspects. I bought this to replace the DIN mount tuner in my Benz which was a cassette tape Bose system. The OEM tuner lacked anything ...
 
Innovative, but just OK by Jeff on crutchfield.com Jan 29, 2012
The Good: sound quality and installation support. The tune tray is very nice. The Bad: Tacky panel design, too flashy for me, and the blue/red panel light is way too bright. I think they need some better industrial designers. Hard for anyone who needs ...
 
not iphone friendly by dsk92 on cnet.com Mar 25, 2010
I'm very suprised sony overlooked this simple feature. Anyone with an iphone should wait until the next generation when i'm sure it will be corrected. I love the idea of a clean look in the vehicle but it is not practical for iphone owners who would like to use their iphone while driving.
 
I dont like it. by James83 on amazon.com Apr 2, 2012
This unit came installed in a roof on my Polaris RZR and I personally cant wait to get rid of it. The usual places I ride dont have many radio stations to choose from so I primarily use it with my ipod. The sound is decent but my 8gb ipod nano is full ...
 
Nice idea but.... by MikeC5 on crutchfield.com Jul 31, 2010
I really think the hideaway tray for ipod/usb is a great idea and sacrificing a CD player is a no-brainer (does anyone use them in the car anymore?). However, there are also some very poorly executed things that make me want to return it. As mentioned ...
