A MISTAKE I DONT REGRET!!!!!!! by 95sanger on amazon.com Jun 9, 2012
I love this head unit! When I bought it all I cared about was the bluetooth and usb features. I didn't realize it didn't have a built in cd player. Instead it has a nifty little drawer for an mp3 player! Unit controls my old 10 disk changer which I like. ...

Buy this Car Stero!!!! by JB on amazon.com Apr 15, 2012
I'm always a little skeptical when I buy new products such as car steros, gadgets, etc, etc. But I have to say this unit is awesome!! It has far exceeded my expectations. It has a ton of functionality but it's surprisingly easy to use. And I love ...

Superior Bluetooth A2DP Sound Quality with DM+ by J. Band "quickgrits" on amazon.com Jul 2, 2012
I bought the DSXS310BTX for its Bluetooth connectivity - I wanted both hands-free calling and no-BS wireless music streaming from my phone. Current Bluetooth music streaming uses A2DP which compresses the music in order to stream wirelessly. There's ...

Radio sucks by TIG on sonicelectronix.com May 10, 2012
I used this radio for one reason, Pandora. It plays two songs, and shuts off. You have to go back on your phone and press play. Hard to do when you're riding a motorcycle. The volume keeps going up and down on the display, and you can even see that. Not very happy with radio...
 
Poorly engineered, very poor interface by Derek G on amazon.com Jun 15, 2012
The most unintuitive radio interface! Button on the front are small, grouped together in non consistent way and have multiple functions. Impossible to use while driving. Guarantee to cause an accident on the road. The unit take over the control of ...

Do not waste your money by Alejandro Gomez Picado "Dodito" on amazon.com Apr 9, 2012
This radio did not work properly after 35 days of its delivery. The bluetooth started failing, then the volume control, and finally the remote control. Amazon s warranty its worthless in this case, and do not waste your time calling Sony costumer service; ...

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Sony DSXS310BTX Digital Media Receiver with Pandora...
I liked my Kenwood and thought it had good power and audio quality, but the Sony raises a whole new bar...Unless I'm missing something (as I've only had it a few weeks now), the things you don't get by going this route (flash drive instead of iPod) is to make playlists, which I used a good bit when I had an iPod inside...Again, I am please overall, but there are some design flaws (joystick control and clunky interface/ menus) and iPhone quirks to be aware of...
