About the Sony DSX-B700
Big is better
Big is better
With its plentiful 3-line display and big ol' multi-function knob, Sony's DSX-B700 digital media receiver makes convenience a priority while still looking sleek. Built-in Bluetooth enhances your dash, giving you wireless music streaming and hands-free calling with a connection to your smartphone. Plus, you can enjoy AM/FM radio, your entire digital music collection, and you have the option of adding SiriusXM satellite radio. Sony also expands control of this hearty receiver with its free Music Centre app, which lets you switch sources, craft your sound settings, and access basic receiver functions from your smartphone. For select Android phones, it also adds nifty voice control.
Big on Bluetooth®
The DSX-B700 lets you connect two phones via Bluetooth at the same time to answer and make hands-free calls. You'll also gain wireless audio streaming for one device at a time. And using a compatible iPhone, Siri Eyes Free allows you to make calls, send and compose texts, set up reminders, and more, all with voice-control.
Beyond AM/FM
Sony's Digital Clarity Tuner ensures your AM/FM reception is as clear as possible for enjoying your favourite stations. But if you're on the road a lot, consider adding a SiriusXM satellite radio tuner, so you can enjoy their unparalleled variety of sports, news, talk, commercial-free music, and more. You can drive from Bangor to Bakersfield without losing your favourite station. Sony also builds in a bonus for Pandora users — you'll have control from the receiver over the app on your phone.
Easy USB
This Sony sports a front USB input so you can easily swap out a music-loaded flash drive with a wired connection to your smartphone if you need to grab a charge on the go.
Sights and sounds
Sony gives you frequency filters, bass enhancers, and a 10-band equalizer for dialing in the best sound in your ride. And if you want to match the colour of your new receiver to your factory interior lighting, Sony gives you nice illumination options that will even pulse in time to the beat or volume of your music.
Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities.

Built-in Bluetooth
Bluetooth Technology: The Sony DSX-B700 is equipped with built-in Bluetooth (version 3.0), allowing you to make and receive phone calls wirelessly through the receiver; as well as stream music wirelessly from your smartphone to the head unit. In order to use Bluetooth wireless technology, your phone must also be Bluetooth compatible and be able to interpret certain profiles. This unit is compatible with the following Bluetooth Profiles:
- Hands-Free Communication: HFP 1.6 (Hands Free Profile), PBAB 1.0 (Phone Book Access Profile).
- Audio Streaming: A2DP 1.3 (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile), AVRCP 1.3 (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile).
Multi-Device Pairing w/ Dual-Phone Connection: Up to nine Bluetooth-compatible devices can be paired to this receiver. You are even able to keep two Bluetooth-enabled phones connected at the same time, so you can make and receive calls from either phone through the head unit. Only one audio device can be connected at a time, which means only one of the two connected phones can stream audio. One an already paired device is in close proximity to the Sony receiver, the two units will automatically re-connect. The head unit offers two pairing modes - SSP (Simple Secure Pairing) or USB Auto Pairing
- Simple Secure Pairing: With Simple Secure Pairing (SSP), you can easily pair a Bluetooth enabled phone to the Sony DSX-B700 without having to enter pin codes or go through complicated settings.

Hands-Free Communication w/ External Mic: The Sony DSX-B700 supports Bluetooth hands-free communication for your Bluetooth enabled cell-phone (such as your iPhone or Android smartphone). Bluetooth hands-free communication helps to minimize distraction while driving by allowing you to control your mobile phone from the head unit, so you don't have to touch your mobile phone. The unit features an external microphone (featuring adjustable gain), so you can carry on your side of the conversation while listening to the caller through your vehicles speakers. And thanks to the latest Hands-Free Profile (HFP 1.6) with wideband speech capability, the DSX-B700 provides more natural sound quality and details during wireless calls.

Simply activate the "voice dial" function on the DSX-B700 to engage Siri and use the included microphone to communicate with Siri. Siri's voice will heard through your vehicle's speakers. All Siri functions including hands-free calling, music search, setting reminders, text-messaging, audible navigation, and more can be done through the head unit and its microphone. You can even ask Siri to get directions to a destination and the turn-by-turn instructions will heard through your vehicle's speakers, while the on-screen map still displays on your iPhone with Siri.

Absolutely more that I expected, the sound is amazing and the phone is clear. Installation was a breeze with the help of Crutchfield guides. I've been ranting and raving about about the whole process.
