Description Features Crutchfield Hands-on Research Accessories
 

Stretch your dollars without giving up great sound. Sony's CDX-GT240 CD receiver features the same strong amplifier and CD drive that Sony uses on their expensive models, for powerful performance from the moment you install it in your dash. The built-in 3-band equalizer and frequency filters let you tune the output to ensure the best possible performance from your speakers and subs.

If you're a radio listener, you'll appreciate the RDS feature — it displays station, song, and other information from participating stations. Connect a portable music player to the front-panel auxiliary input, or add a plug-and-play satellite radio for an unparalleled variety of music, sports, news, and talk. If you want a little more kick to your tunes, the stereo features a set of preamp outputs for connecting an external amp or powered subwoofer.

Great bang for the Buck October-27-10
Reviewer: Rex H from Bellingham, WA  
I bought this to replace the failed factory casette in my Cherokee.  
I didn't need the USB or remote of the more expensive Sony units,
and was pleased to get the same amps and chassis at a bargain
price.  I had already upgraded the factory speakers - Alpine 5 1/4
in front and Polk 6 x 9 in the back - and this unit really made a
difference.  Clean clear sound...a little cluncky to scroll through the
set-up menu - but it really shines once its all done.
A specially nice feature is the adjustable bass roll off for the front
speakers - so the bass doesn't overpower the smaller speakers.  
You can't go wrong for the price -
just  buy one !!


 
So much for so little money October-05-10
Reviewer: Kristy from Kaufman, TX  
I wanted a stereo that I could plug my MP3 player into.  I'm not interested in paying a ton of money for something that sounds decent, so I read the reviews on this receiver.  It is so much more than I had  hoped for!  It sounds so much better than the factory radio that I replaced. The instructions that came with everything were awesome.  I am a customer for life!


 
Jeep Wrangler August-04-10
Reviewer: Von from Nashville, TN  
Was looking for a solid factory replacement for my 2000 Jeep Wrangler and ran
across this model. Other than looking for an improvement in sound quality, the
main features I needed was an aux input on the front so I could hook up my Palm
Pre and the ability to play a variety of CD's (mp3, wma, etc.). The unit
delivered on all counts and with Crutchfield's awesome instructions, was a snap
to install. Music quality easily tripled from what my factory unit  was throwing
out and I picked up the ability to control my Bazooka powered subwoofer through
the head unit to boot (through the preamp out RCA jacks). For some reason I did
not expect a volume control for the sub...nice treat. Very solid unit and highly
recommended...especially for the incredible price.


 
Great price, with great functions! July-19-10
Reviewer: Tom from Dutchess county, new york  
Great receiver, so easy to install.   Sounds great even with factory speakers.  I just wish there was usb on front or back!  other than that great buy, can't beat the price, Perfect deck.


 
Good Price, Good Features, Good Performance May-17-10
Reviewer: Karl from Bellingham WA  
I purchased this to replace a failing OEM receiver head in a 1995 Ford Windstar with the  premium sound system. Also purchased the Crutchfield adapter cables to continue to  use the original external amplifier. Installation was a snap, although it took some careful  reading of the specs to discover that the line output was only for the sub/rear (which I  didn't fully comprehend until I received the unit). After some discussion with Crutchfield customer service, I realized that I could use 'Y' adapters to feed the front and rear  channels, but I would have to give up the "fade" capability. If the specs were clearer, I  probably would have opted for the CDX-GT340 instead.  

Then it took some careful reading of the manual to discover how to put it into "rear"  mode instead of monophonic "sub" mode (the system needs to be "off", then press and  hold the volume button to access the setup menus)
