95 Mustang install

Does exactly what it says, easy to install with the mounting kit. NOTE: If you try to buy/use the Mach460 plug adapter you're going to be disappointed. It works half azz and you lose fader and balance. So go the long route and remove your old amp. You will be much happier that all the features to the stereo work. Love this stereo-not the loudest but that's not me. Went in 95 Mustang GT.

Worked great for the first three days. Now it has a rough time linking up with my iPhone and the front speakers are no longer working. They were working fine before the radio change. Tech support is lacking at best. Opted for the ready wire harness, now being told to cut wires and relocate them. Tech support acts like it's super simple to dismantle the car. Should've just offered to send a new unit since thuu it s one is less than 40 days old.

Nice radio with lots of nice features. I installed it easily with the included kit and wiring harness. I had Crutchfield connect the wiring together, which was amazingly performed, with its own connector not just spliced and crimped, which would have been sufficient. So professional! I am glad I had this done. The radio is exactly what I was looking for and the installation was simple. I highly recommend Crutchfield to anyone.

I hghly recommend...

I purchased three of these for my Ford's and will be purchasing a couple more for the other rigs I frequently use. Overall, a very good radio for the price. The sound quality is excellent as long as the speakers in your car are in good shape. The display is pretty good. There were some complaints about brightness of the display but I figured out why - the display is best viewed from directly in front of it, meaning that I think there might be a UV coating on the screen and if you are oriented up or down from direct center, the display seems dimmer. It is pretty good no matter the position but definitely brighter if your dash doesn't tilt it up towards the roof. The bass quality is great and I like that there is a bass setting button saving me from having to go find it in the settings. What I don't like about it - The bluetooth connections allows you to connect two phones. This should be a good thing but the second connection is for a second driver, such as a teenager, and it is not only erased every time the key is cycled, but the first phone that is saved MUST authorize the second one to use the radio. Fine if you are the only driver and you want to go authorize the bluetooth connection for the second driver every time they turn the key on. I loaned my truck to my son and he couldn't use the radio to listen to his Spotify app because the radio prompted him to wait for "dad's authorization" after he had shut the rig down. PITA. Otherwise... I HIGHLY recommend this unit.

Mazda2 Owners should consider a sony.

Purchased with basic kit for a Japanese car. FYI, do not need the fancy SWC module. Would recommend to Crutchfield that they add a basic 3.5mm right angle pigtail or sony's RC-SR1 to the basic kit for SWC. Made my own from an old earbud cable, info google for the correct wiring. For Mazda2, the right bracket, single or dual needs the upper back corner removed (square inch) for the rear radio bracket from the car itself. It grounds to the frame for security. Removing the rear support in the car is simple with a small sawzall blade held in the hand. Soft plastic is it. With the Metra kit. The screws are garbage -- too short for the plastic cage, would work if the cage was metal. Increase those screws by 2mm please. Radio -- is great. Bluetooth is great for my Sony Xperia phone. No feedback buzz from the alternator, Strength to pull in college radio is very good. Center display is a bit dim, even at max. Hey - keep you eyes on the road, not the pulsing colors of the radio. ;-)

Love it so far. Bluetooth takes a few seconds to connect but otherwise no complaints. I will say that it took me longer than expected to install- a few reviewers noted that they were able to do it very quickly, and I'm guessing they aren't car novices like me. It was my first time doing anything like this and it took about an afternoon and a half to figure it all out. I also needed to dig up some tools and buy wire connectors. Still, it was worth it! I also used the Crutchfield customer service line and they were very helpful!

Arrived already connected to the wire harness, including the steering wheel controls adapter.just had to plug and play. Whole installation was done in under 15 minutes.

This is an excellent radio and cost effective as well. My wife and I were looking for a Christmas present for our son and this fit the bill to a tee. It was easy to install, looks great, sounds great, and fit the budget. It took my son and I all of 30 minutes to take the old radio out and put the new radio in. It would have gone even faster if I had plugged the microphone into the right jack...total user error on my part.

Not just my Iphone, but also my wife's Galaxy. "Bright display" is false advertising! Can't see my display until night time.

The sound quality is awesome, I noticed a huge upgrade from the factory unit but didn't fully realize how great this was until trying top upgrade. I've purchased and 'upgraded' units only to return them and put this one back in. The sound quality connected to the factory speakers in my Nissan Xterra is amazing. The down side and why I was looking to upgrade is the display. At the brightest setting during the day light it is nearly impossible to read. I really wish the display was brighter but for the price point and sound quality I am just going to stick with this and deal with the fact that the display is nearly impossible to read during the brightness of the midday sun.

Solid stereo for the price

Fits nicely in my 2012 Mazda Miata with the dash kit from this site, though I did experience a minor issue with securing it in the mounting plates (see cons section). Using this Sony stereo is not difficult at all, though if anything there are a few settings that still mystify me on whether they actually work (for example, the auto dimming feature that's supposed to adjust based on time that I can't tell if it actually does it). Connected to my iPhone 11 via Bluetooth, the stereo neatly displays music information without issues. Having a 10-band equalizer is far more than you will ever need to fine tune your music, considering you'll be in a mildly-to-quite noisy car the entire time, but it's a fantastic feature with great presets to choose from. The somewhat strange single-DIN-but-actually-double-size size can make installation an interesting attempt depending on your dash mounting kit, but it does also mean you will have plenty of room to hide cables and amplifiers. Aesthetically, the lights look great and having a fully adjustable RGB spectrum lets you get it just right for your car. Also the sound sync to get the lights to flash to your music is a nice touch.

Fairly easy to instal and the unit is a good upgrade in sound quality that came stock in my 2009 Forester. My biggest complaint is the actual display, it is not bright at all. During the daytime hours, you can't see anything being listed on the main face(stations, songs, etc..) This is very frustrating when trying to find a station or to even see if your phone has connected with the Bluetooth. The display brightness will most likely be the reason I send it back.

Scratch & Dent Skeptic

I really do not know where to start. Ease of ordering? Free installation gear? Prompt delivery? Great price? Awesome radio? Crutchfield is spot-on for all those things. I was very hesitant to purchase a "scratch & dent" radio. (That is an understatement.) But I watched the helpful video about new, open box, and scratch & dent items. I was confident that Crutchfield would do right. They did. I think I found a very tiny mark on the lower corner of the unit. Less than tiny. My two sons had a hard time finding it as well. The radio fits perfectly in my 2001 Honda Accord sedan. The radio's features are very user friendly and easy to navigate. Pairing my Samsung phone was simple. The quality, power, and clarity produced by this Sony unit is very impressive. It is truly amazing the sound that came through the stock front speakers and the Infinity 6x9 3-ways in the back. If you are debating whether to purchase new, open box, or scratch & dent, you can rest assured that the great people at Crutchfield will have your best interest at heart.

Double DIN?

Great (and cheap) upgrade for a dead OEM stereo. Button colors easy to match dash lighting, but display wording is always white. With some simple adjustments those 10-yr old speakers sound pretty good on the work commute car. Its 3.5mm rear input jack made installing the Axxess ASWC-1 Steering Wheel Control Adapter a breeze; it linked up in seconds! The chassis style made using the Metra 99-7518B Dash Kit harder than it needed to be! Didn't go with traditional double DIN side mounting method because I felt securing only the top-half single DIN chassis won't be enough to correctly support it. So I left the center support on the dash kit, used the single DIN side supports, some zip ties on the side and bottom of the chassis and now the stereo is very secure! Overall: I'd buy the DSX-B700 again

COTTONWD HTS

I would actually give this a 5 star review if it actually fit my truck as your website says it does. This radio is about 1/2" too tall, hence the dash and inside of the radio compartment had to be cut out for the radio to fit. Over an hour with a sawsall cutting plastic and metal supports and bracing. In this nightmare I ended up breaking my dash. There is no way this radio should be listed as fitting 1998 Ford F150. As you say it fits "with some modification of the subdash" how about major modification to the subdash! Why do you represent this as fitting? Yes a round peg can be modified to fit in a square hole, but I would have rather just bought the round peg to fit the round hole. Only a single din radio should be used in this installation and it would have been a simple installation instead of a nightmare.

I bought this head unit to replace the Shaker 500 radio in my 2007 Mustang GT that kept cycing even with the key off. It's powerful and the factory subwoofers even sound good with it. The display is easy to read and I feel the submenus are easy to use. The bluetooth works well when connected, but sometimes takes a couple tries before it actually connects. The unit's face is double din sized, but the actual chassis is single din sized and fit into the dash with plenty of room. I have front subwoofers in my doors and got the best sound from running the "rear" preout as opposed to "front". Glad I bought this! Great customer service from Crutchfield.

WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG?

I upgraded from the Boss 480BRGB that I purchased here 2yrs ago. I'm kicking myself for purchasing this unit and waiting so long to replace it. This Sony is an awesome replacement/upgrade. Both units have changeable colors but the Sony allows you to tweak the RGB for an exact color match to your liking. Both come with wireless remotes but the Sony actually has a range well beyond my rear seats. Both units have Bluetooth but the Sony has a slightly better range while connected outside of my vehicle. Both have clocks but the Boss will not stay on the clock screen (it always reverts back to whatever source name is playing as the static screen). The Sony has 3 lines of info with the clock on the bottom line; nice to not have to press a button to view the time. One thing I missed by having the Boss was no sub pre-outs. My '05 Explorer XLT has a factory sub. This Sony has blessed my ears with great balancing; highs/mids up front, mids/lows in rear & bass in sub as it should be. The sub adapter harness used with the Boss to enable the factory sub sent front or rear frequencies to the sub which is horrible. I had to install an FMOD Inline Crossover lowpass just clean up the sub sound some. Having a unit with sub pre-outs is what I should have gotten the first time. This Sony unit has made my Explorer sound better than it ever had and with all factory speakers. I'll definitely get replacement speakers from Crutchfield. They have the best products, customer service

Looking for a cheap stereo that had Bluetooth to put in my 15 year old van. I had always had poor reception with my stock radio but I thought that was mostly due to the antenna. I had even worse reception with a boss radio I put in the $60 version. I returned it and talk to the nice people at Crutchfield who recommended the Sony that had much better stereo AM/FM reception. They were 100% right now I'm getting channels that I never got before. And my mediocre channels are in our crystal clear.

Great stereo at a great price

Great car stereo at a great price. I installed it on my 2006 Saturn VUE. Looks like it is factory installed. With the original radio I thought the speakers were the problem as I couldn't believe a radio could be that bad, boy was I wrong! This unit delivers great radio reception and crisp clear sound with great bass tones. The matching color display is great although the display colors do not change, only frame and control buttons which is odd. The smart phone interaction flawless. Couple of things, the screws provided are too short, they are specified for a max of 8 mm. I trimmed longer screws to 10 mm and used those without an issue. I also added washers because the side brackets are made of very soft cheap plastic so you want to spread the screw pressure, this will prevent issues years down the road when the heat of southern climate might dry up and make the plastic brittle. Finally do yourself a favor and use the Crutchfield 'ReadyHarness' feature, it will be the best $ you will ever spent. It removes the most time consuming and frustrating part of replacing your stereo. If I had known of this service I would have replace my radio years ago.

Functional head unit with good sound and power without having to install a separate amplifier. The description does a great job of telling you the pros so I will describe what for me were the cons: Function labels and buttons are very small and difficult to read while going down the road or even parked without leaning close in to the stereo. After time and familiarity won't be a big deal but don't assume it will be intuitive out of the box. You will need to go on-line and download the full manual to figure out some operations as the included paper manual does not include all information.

Crutchfield made the whole process incredibly easy - the premade harness is the way to go. Installed this radio in a 2005 Subaru Outback - Very nice radio - my son loves the upgrade

Easy installation and works great. Lots of different settings to change whatever you like and has cool led light customization too.

Light Accents Too Bright for Sensitive Eyes

This radio has a lot of great features. I found going thru the different function options very straightforward and intuitive. It sounds GREAT. The big trend in car stereo design seems to be bright lighting features that surround the control knobs, the buttons, plus lighting accents. It has a "Dimmer" function which is either "ON" or "OFF". It also has a "BRIGHTNESS" 1 thru 10 control. Unfortunately, the DIMMER/BRIGHTNESS is, in my experience since I have light sensitivity, not well coordinated between the central DATA/Control screen and the decorative lighting accents. When I turn the "Brightness" and "DIMMER" down to the point that the decorative lighting is comfortable to look at, the central screen is so dim it is hard to read. On a sunny day, it is IMPOSSIBLE. I'm looking at getting a radio without the added decorative lighting because of my light sensitivity.

Ordered this head unit paired with a set of Polk Audio DB+ DB625 speakers to replace my front door speakers and factory head unit on a 2008 Kia Spectra EX. The installation was extremely thanks to the harness and wiring adapter Crutchfield provided for free. The fit is exact and looks great in place of the factory head unit. When I fired the head unit up and blasted the music I was completely blown away by the sound quality this little head unit produces. The speakers I purchased can handle 100 Watts RMS and the head unit produces 55 Watts RMS to create a full, rich sound with a ton of bass. I mounted the microphone directly above the head unit on the dash and I'm able to make hands-free calls and I'm told my voice is coming through crisp and clear. Paired my phone with the head unit via Bluetooth and am I able to use Google Assistant to make phone calls, play music, e t c. All in all I'm extremely satisfied with this head unit and the power it produces. Would definitely recommend this product to anyone thinking of purchasing.
