Great for the price
Asher from Kapaa, HI on 6/26/2025

Wanted a double din that had a physical volume knob and I didn't need all the fancy carplay features or anything like that. My only gripe is that these types of head units, single dins as well, are that they're kinda of hard to navigate through all the settings compared to the early 2000s head units that have graphics for everything instead of just words. Other than that, this is a great head unit for the price and was able to learn it pretty quickly

Sony DSX-B700
Brad from Southside, AR on 6/13/2025
This unit is cheap. Compared to others, (Kenwood JVC) the mounting holes are designed for sheet metal threaded screws (which are supplied with the unit). The Kenwood JVC units have machine screws which have pre-threaded holes in the unit. The problem with sheet metal screws is that whenever they are screwed in for the first time, they create small shards of metal which, in this application, could find their way into the circuit boards of the unit & cause shorts if they get in contact with the circuit board traces. I didn't power the unit up (I didn't get that far) so I don't have any opinion of it's performance. Sony's quality used to be top notch back in the day (80s) then they went downhill & supposedly have come back up in recent years. I think not.

This is my second try in attempt to get a radio with a display that's readable outdoors when the sun is out. Both the previous JVC and this current Sony have beautifully illuminated buttons and decorative perimeter, and they even change color, but the actual display is unreadable unless it's gray out or night time. I should have left the original stock Subaru radio (that I could actually read) in. Crutchfield did a great job with the exchange, but they did assure me that the Sony could be easily read in bright sunlight, which is not at all true. I guess if you want to be able to actually read your display, you need to buy a high end radio, or just an OEM unit.
Pros: Good sound. Easy install. Fast service.
Cons: Can't read display on sunny days.

Best HU out there
Kyle from WORCESTER, MA on 3/9/2025
This head unit is one of the best from features to display. There are many adjustments you can make with it if you want to personalize your music. Many options for subwoofer integration and you can reverse polarity from the head unit. Installation is a breeze and you're really only going to struggle with getting the factory HU out. I personally have both used anything other than Bluetooth but even at that it's amazing. It features an extra bass button with two modes of increasingly louder bass. It has a usb port and aux port. The lighting and design are really nice and the color choice they give is virtually unlimited. For the price, I think this is the best AHU out there. The only issues I have come across is delayed Bluetooth connecting and the letters on the screen don't work quite as well when cold though those are both not related to the HU itself.
Pros: Bluetooth, AUX input, USB input Color customization Subwoofer adjustment
Cons: Nothing really

Great looking and sounding.
mark from ELK CITY, OK on 11/26/2024
Update to a previous review: Be sure to plug the microphone into the correct input. Lol. Anyway this stereo is awesome. I wanted a volume knob and a remote control, not a touchscreen. It looks cool and sounds cool. You can change the lighting to any color. Takes about 20 seconds reconnect to bluetooth when you start your vehicle but no big deal. I like it alot.
Pros: Big volume knob, remote control, looks cool with the different lighting options and sounds good.
Cons: Nothing really.

Bad unit, even worse service.
Kelham from Pinedale, WY on 8/24/2024
Disappointed all around. Unit broke on the first day, buttons started to fall off and volume control never worked. Customer service from Crutchfield was appalling. Tried to get a new unit on warranty, but was informed I had to return the broken unit first, then wait, and it would be up to 2 weeks turn around on the RA #. They should've sent a new unit with the RA # to return the old unit so I could swap them out. Not have to dismantle my truck dash 3 times. Not the store it used to be. Shopping elsewhere in the future.

Honestly, this is more a review on Crutchfield as a whole. I knew what I was getting when I ordered the Sony unit and, to that end, it has performed as advertised. By ordering with Crutchfield, I was able to purchase the deck, the wiring kit, and the mounting kit for the same price that the unit was listed on Amazon, and received detailed instructions on how to install the unit specific to make & model car that made the process a breeze. I've been a fan of Crutchfield since childhood and I'm glad to have rediscovered them.

Fit great in my import car as another radio did not. The high pass filter was a must for me, as my speakers sounded awful when trying to play low frequencies. Really love this radio and all of its options.
Pros: HPF & LPF Extra bass option (does not add a ton but is still a nice feature)
Cons: The abnormal shape behind the display made is slightly difficult to find where I needed to fit my radio holder brackets, but I got it to fit in the end.

Not sure yet....
Mark from Elk city ok on 7/15/2024
Truth is I bought one, but not from Crutchfield. I installed it and everything was good. For about an hour then the volume knob, the only knob, that controls everything stopped working. It turns but with no affect. I hard reset the unit and that worked until the next morning. I'm assuming and hoping it's defective and am awaiting a replacement. I may update after that one is installed.

Poor FM reception, very dim display
Thomas from Naperville, IL on 6/10/2024
2010 Toyota Sienna
Installation was quick, although the screws Sony provided were too short so I had to find longer ones. The FM reception was poor on my favorite FM stations, very scratchy and intermittent. The display was very dim, even after following the Display/Dimming instructions on Sony's website and comments on Crutchfield. Could barely see it when it was sunny outside and couldn't see it at all with sunglasses (non polarized). Ready Harness was perfect, but beware the cost isn't refunded in the return. Yvonne was helpful setting up a return.
Pros: Easy to install
Cons: Poor FM reception Very dim display

Infuriatingly quirky.
UncMike from CONIFER, CO on 5/24/2024
This unit will drive you crazy! Why for example does selecting the "Aux Input" make the car's electric antenna go up? There are many similar quirks. Not intuitive at all. A new low for Sony.
Pros: Not sure there are any when compared with other similar units.
Cons: Quirky. For example, why does it raise the car's electric antenna when you select 'front input'? Sony tried to include every possible user adjustment whether needed or not and ended up with an overly complex and just plain infuriating product. This thing will drive you nuts.

Good eco upgrade from stock.
Dave from Flushing, NY on 4/9/2024
2007 Toyota Sienna
Was looking for radio replacement for my 07 Sienna which had problems with the internal CD changer and didn't like the bluetooth FM transmitter audio quality or Aux options for playing external sources. Picked this unit for economical reasons because of the age of the vehicle. Installation was straightforward without any problems except for the screws supplied with the unit was not long enough to secure the adapter kit. I happen to have some fasteners around the house that made the kit work with the unit. This is a cheaper unit because of its lack of touch screen options like most units nowadays. Sound is average for the unit and can be adjusted tobyour tastes with its built in 10 band EQ or it's presets. Navigation through the menus could be frustrating if you are used to the touch screen icons. The only main issue is the glare on the unit itself which makes it unreadable on sunny days. It's not the fault of the unit,but of the vehicle mounting angle. You would probably need to buy a hood or make one yourself to remedy this issue. For the price it's a good choice for an upgrade that won't break the bank.
Pros: Price
Cons: No tilt option for unit from sun glare. Kit should have supplied correct screw sizes.

Michael from Lincoln, NE on 3/29/2024

So far so good. It does everything we need it to do. Replaced factory 6 CD changer on a 2008 Ford Fusion. The CD changer started making sounds like it was trying to shuffle CDs even though there were none in the player. The main driver of the car doesn't have CDs so we switched it out for this bluetooth player. Works great so far. Oh, and Crutchfields option for ReadyHarness is a must have for folks with little/no experience with this type of wiring.
Pros: Simple Install Works Great Looks Great
Cons: None so far

Great radio, great price, great features, big step up from the factory
Dustin from Oklahoma City, OK on 2/3/2024
2007 Ford Fusion
great radio unit, easy to install, I purchased the ready made wiring harness for my make and model of car, it cut the installation time by about 2/3 since I didn't have to make the 50 or so connections that would have had to been made had I not purchased the wiring harness, it made the installation basically a plug and play install, my only criticisms were on the vagueness of the mounting kit instructions, they were not clear however after watching two short YouTube videos of professional installers installing this very kit on my make and model car, all of my questions were answered and it made the installation even easier. My other small but significant criticism was the antenna adapter kit, it did not seat tightly into the back of the new radio unit, I bent out the flares in the back of the plug so they would fit tighter into the back of the radio unit, that however did not help, I ended up zip-tying the antenna adapter to some of the other wires so it was less likely to become unplugged when pushing the radio unit into the mounting kit, I also made an |X| out of some black duct tape and placed it across the antenna adapter plug to help hold it against the back of the radio unit, this worked and the I finished the install, I am receiving all of the local AM stations (I listen to a lot of talk radio during the day,) and all of the local FM stations are loud and clear, I am even getting clear signals that display radio call letter, artist and name of song or show that
Pros: value, features, full of tech, big step up from factory stereo/6 CD changer with no AUX input or BLUETOOTH features
Cons: some install directions were vague and lacking enough information

Jackson from Columbus, OH on 1/24/2024

The radio is great. The build quality is solid, the buttons and knob are great, and the lighting, screen, and sound quality are great as well. It came on time and the install was very easy, especially with the install kit and wire harness that Crutchfield recommended and actually included for free. The only drawback is the fact that the Sony music center app is required to use the Bluetooth functionality. For some reason you can't use Bluetooth audio unless you download Sony music center, and you need to open it once every time you turn the car on for the Bluetooth to connect. The app sucks, and once you open it and wait for it to connect, you don't even have to use it for the rest of your drive. It's just a pointless extra step
Pros:
Cons: Sony music center is required

Really nice quality as always from Sony. It's got some great features, including the three rows of text on the display and the multiple color options. The Bluetooth connects perfectly every time, and I appreciate that this model has a dimming option. No it doesn't have Android Auto or a touch screen, but that's perfectly fine by me.

It is cheap and OK. Got it since my vehicle you must leave the oem screen In even after stereo replacement. It will only work w originally screen so just went this route. Since it have bt, USB, and aux thought can do what I want aka Bluetooth and still seen my reverse camera also gots charger or something? But honestly sounds pretty crappy but good enough for price too maybe little under impressed probably going to try to exchange. Then look of it is decent want to say 5 star look first day after you have for month turns to 3 when you realize you can not read alot when driving and using or smoothly operating system aka this the radio any one and their mom and Thier bothers gots feels 3 star no doubt but wanted to really be happy with it along with being sold hundreds and my radio still isn't working properly my vehicle is still a mess aka wires no dash radio looking like Frankenstein been wasting months trying to diagnose and good and get service from ford on this and finally realized Crutchfield sold me a harness by metra that does not work for my specific vehicle? really hoping I can update this post to a future good review of their services they provide. Really want to get my vehicle back into order. Does not even start every morning!!!! ???? dead battery everyday since I got help from Crutchfield
Pros: Decent cheaper radio but would not recommend either
Cons: I regret not getting a better sounding unit since I love music and radio with a spirit love it too much fun but this is not good enough really considering my original that was replaced sounded 3 times better than this and also only little more cost

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.

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.

Crutchfield customer from COUNCIL, ID on 8/24/2023
1996 Chevrolet Suburban
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.
Pros: Easy install, lots of display colors to choose from, great sounding audio.
Cons: Bluetooth connection leave something to be desired for second user.

Mazda2 Owners should consider a sony.
FREDERICK from SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH on 5/10/2023
2012 Mazda 2
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. ;-)
Pros: Easy install. Fun colors. Strong radio pull -in strength. Works with japanese car swc out of the box (with 3.5mm cable)
Cons: Pandora - really? Would be nice to disable sources not being used.

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!

Sounds great. Display is a little dim in bright sunlight, however just about all aftermarket stereos I have installed have had this issue. Plenty of customization options with sound and button colors. Calls are clear and paired with my android phone with no issues. I would definitely recommend doing the ready harness service. 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.
Pros: Sounds great. Nice.big control button. Customizable EQ and button colors.
Cons: Display is a little hard to see in bright sunlight. But not a deal killer as I use the phone for most stuff anyway

Great unit and does everything as promised. I wish some of the more common features were closer together and on the driver side (I know the unit can be world-wide so I understand why things are fit for U.S. drivers). I do wish the screen was a bit brighter and readable in more direct sunlight and that the screen and splash colors were separately adjustable. Love unit as a replacement for my Kia Sedona.
Pros: Lots of options and adjustable lights
Cons: Dim screen (hard to read) in sunlight and some controls should be closer to driver side.

Just upgraded my stock radio in my 2009 Lexus RX350 Multiple features to mention here by specifics - great with using iPhone/iPad Engaging Panel Design - multi-color contrast options, yellow, pink, and blue. The USB port is on the front and the tuner has AM/FM channels. I would highly recommend this to a friend. The nice thing is it fits into my dash just perfectly.
Pros: Big volume knob that makes it easy to change the volume while driving without looking
Cons: I did purchase the steering wheel control but unfortunately, you have to splice it to the factory 20-pin harness. I am not comfortable doing it myself.

Just what we needed
Ben from Piedmont, SC on 12/31/2022
2015 Volkswagen Jetta
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. I can't thank Crutchfield enough for making this process as easy and affordable as possible.
Pros: Excellent craftsmanship Exceptional Value Easy to install/great fit Looks outstanding Easy to navigate Great for iPhone
Cons: Navigation while easy is a little cumbersome

Huge Disappointment
Guest from Ruskin, FL on 1/16/2022
Sound is great, but...connecting via bluetooth is a crap shoot, often quitting while in traffic and then risking accidents trying to determine what is going on. Not just my Iphone, but also my wife's Galaxy. "Bright display" is false advertising! Can't see my display until night time. Had mine installed just prior to Covid starting, thus my warranty lapsed, otherwise I would be exercising claims. Sony DSX-B700 is piece of junk!
Pros: Great Sound
Cons: Display not visible during daylight. Bluetooth is finicky and often fails to link.

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
Brandon from San Jose, CA on 4/2/2021
2012 Mazda MX5
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.
Pros: Easy to use, clean compatibility with amplifier and steering wheel control routing accessories, solid aesthetics
Cons: Can't decide if it wants to be installed as a single or double DIN stereo so you might have to play with it a bit to get it right, and the included mounting screws might be too short depending on your dash mounting kit (note: look for size 8 screws, the standard ISO screws out there are size 10 and are too wide)

Bryan from Haslet, TX on 3/23/2021

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.
Pros: Great Sound!
Cons: Horrible display brightness.

Scratch & Dent Skeptic
Chadwick from TOBACCOVILLE, NC on 1/27/2021
2001 Honda Accord
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?
Verified Purchase from USA on 1/16/2021
2011 Mazda 2
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
Pros: Front USB input plays and toggles through files/songs smoothly, Bluetooth always connects, much better radio reception
Cons: Chassis is more like a single DIN "hybrid"

Dale from COTTONWD HTS on 12/27/2020
1998 Ford F-150
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.
Pros: Radio itself sounds

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.
Pros: Easy to navigate

WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG?
AJ from Maryland on 12/13/2020
2005 Ford Explorer
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
Pros: Great sound and power. Wired remote with decent range. Bluetooth. Customizable RGB for a perfect match. 3 line display with static clock (other data can be selected instead of clock also). Auto dim display. Display bright enough for daytime visibility. Great features & functionality at a really great price.

Crutchfield customer from West Dundee, IL on 11/24/2020
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. Plus I have Bluetooth and everything I need thank you very much Crutchfield you guys are the best.

Charles from BEECH ISLAND, SC on 10/29/2020
Incredible bang for your buck and this little gem puts out decent power to make 8 of my speakers hummmmm! And the scoschE dash kit made for an easy and clean install. Thx again C-field! I'll be back.
Pros: Strong and easy to use. Other than the wire diagram, I never needed the user manual. The custom EQ is nice but may be hard for some to figure out what works best for them. It offers 10 different frequency bands that you can adjust the decibel levels on. I'm old-school so it was easy to figure out and if you don't like that they have decent preset equalizers for different types of music.
Cons: It's not touchscreen technology but this is so worth the little bit of money without that extra frills. No regrets on this purchase.

Looks great and sounds way better than my stock one in my opinion. Love that it connects to my phone automatically when I turn the car on (it takes a second, but it works for me). Highly recommend getting the ReadyHarness and the adapters when ordering. Made install incredibly easy. Overall brightness looks fine to me, not too much or too little, the color customization is awesome, and has plenty of variety. 18 different FM radio presets is more than enough, super cool. Also I can charge my phone and play music through the USB which I could never do before. Plenty of features and great for the price.
Pros: Plenty of features, color settings, FM presets, EQ genre presets sounds great
Cons: EQ customization is a little confusing

Great stereo at a great price
Alfredo from Mount Pleasant, SC on 10/22/2020
2006 Saturn VUE
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.
Pros: Great sound, looks great, reliable smart phone connection, good radio reception, perfect fit.
Cons: Installation kit on side brackets made of cheap plastic. 8 mm installation screws too short. Used 10 mm with washer.

Sony DSX-B700
Crutchfield customer from Hallsville, TX on 10/21/2020
2007 Jeep Wrangler
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.
Pros: Good power for the price point Nice look
Cons: Tiny labels / icons NOT INTUITIVE. Takes time to get accustomed to how functions and menu works.

Light Accents Too Bright for Sensitive Eyes
Kirk from Roseville on 10/4/2020
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.
Pros: Intuitive Controls Great Sound
Cons: Poor coordination between the decorative lighting and Data readout lighting screen in the center.

Crutchfield customer from ORLANDO, FL on 10/1/2020
2008 Kia Spectra
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.

GREAT unit with a couple caveats.
Bo from Biloxi on 9/18/2020
2006 Chevrolet Colorado
Works fine. I was replacing a factory unit in a 2006 Chevy Colorado and this unit had everything I was looking for (Bluetooth connect-ability and USB input) and the price was right. Although it has little to do with anything, the lighting on this thing is pretty cool too. Installation was very easy and straight forward like everything from Crutchfield, especially since I bought the ReadyHarness (best $ you'll EVER spend!), HOWEVER there are two things you need to be aware of with this particular unit. First is that the screws used to hold the mounting kit to the side of the unit are far too short. The best match I could readily find was to use #12, pan head, sheet metal screws that I cut and ground so as to go into the case as little as possible although in my case it didn't matter as the case was completely empty behind the holes in the chassis that I used. Your installation may be different. Secondly you should be aware that if you intend to play your music from a thumb drive that you will need to format said drive using FAT16 or FAT32 and if you are using a computer that doesn't run on coal oil and steam you'll probably have to do this at the DOS prompt! I kid you not. If you're under 40 you may have to ask a geezer like me how to do such a thing. GREAT unit with just a couple minor quirks. Glad I got it!
Pros: It does EXACTLY what I need it to do at an unbelievable price point.
Cons: Supplied screws too short Antiquated formatting needed for thumb drives to work

Placed this in a 2005 Mazda miata and it looks like it came as a stock radio . The metra kit instructions are not correct as the side plates have to be screwed on first as the clips do not fit properly and that was no big deal it paired with my phone right away , I also put new Fosgate speakers in and the sound is awesome
Pros: Good price Easy install SiriusXM ready and installed tuner with it and no issues installing it Looks as if it was a stock radio as it fit that well

Once you get the hang of how the menu works, it is a very nice unit. Connects to bluetooth fine, but still trying to get the mic to work with an iPhone XI. The color changes is pretty nice as well. It goes in pretty easy with kit - but a little splicing had to be done to get the right wires in place.
Pros: LED light options look great Sounds really clear and has plenty of power Fits perfect into Toyota 4Runner dual deck with kit
Cons: not much of any issue, but you may need to know the wiring diagram of unit and vehicle. I had to do some minor splicing to make it work.

Crutchfield customer from Falling Waters, WV on 7/5/2020

I don't know yet. I ordered this because Sony is a name I trust, the radio is Sirius XM ready, and was not the cheapest, knowing you get what you pay for. I wasn't after a top of the line, full blown stereo system with speakers that can be heard a block away; I just wanted Sirius XM radio that would work with my truck's existing features. It wasn't until the installer was reading the documentation that I found out that I needed an additional item and associated wiring. When buying a car that is Sirius XM ready, all you need to do is pay for the subscription. Already having Sirius XM subscriptions for both of my vehicles, I thought this radio would meet my needs and after installing the radio I could call Sirius XM and I'd be set. I'm calling Crutchfield to find out if the internet description was correct, or if the item booklet was correct. Not a good first experience with this company, but nothing negative to say about the Sony radio so I'll give a middle grade.

Great value for a basic head unit
Scott from Bradenton, FL on 7/4/2020
1999 Mazda Miata
This was the first "modern" head unit I've installed in this era of Bluetooth and Aux connectivity. My last installation was back in the cassette and CD days. The process was easy with the parts supplied by Crutchfield for my car. I preserved the factory Bose amp and speakers, so the head unit is used just as a tuner/receiver and to feed the Scosche speaker to line level adapter. All of the functions I need are present in this Sony head unit. It took a few tries to get my Galaxy S10e to connect via Bluetooth, but that may have been because of other Bluetooth devices close by in the garage where I was working. Once connected the first time, all subsequent connections have been fast and stable. If there is one thing missing, it is way to stop the power radio antenna from going up when I am not listening to the radio, but to a different source. The Sony doesn't have a separate antenna power control.
Pros: Easy to use. Love the big volume control in the middle.
Cons: No separate power antenna control.

So far I absolutely love this. The ability to change the colour of the LEDs is perfect since all the lighting in my car is red. So now it matches with everything else. The ability to just plug in a flash drive and just go is also perfect for me as I tend to travel quite a bit and it is a pain to constantly have to hook up my phone. Not mention that music takes up quite a bit of space after a while.
Pros: -looks very nice -can play flac audio format -colour change LEDs

No, it's not the latest and greatest do everything receiver, but for what it is it's perfect. The BT works flawlessly with both devices paired to it. Anything that can be adjusted is easy to find and change to your desired level. It has a dial, which is one of the easiest methods of fine adjustment and my preferred method. The fact that my 14yr old son wants a second one for his Jeep Cherokee project even though it would take some modifications is a testament of sorts.

Absolutely stellar support for the product. The radio I purchase is merely entry level. I did not have very high expectations however I felt I had an issue with the unit that Crutchfield resolved in 5 minutes over the phone. You cannot go wrong with Crutchfield!
Pros: The price of the radio belies the features and performance. I have an inexpensive car that is 10 years old. I simply wanted a replacement radio with basic features. This radio delivers far more than I expected.

Fantastic radio For my wife's 2008 Ford Edge SEL that is easy to use and install. Definitely made the stock speakers in my wife's car sound better. The extra bass button is perfect when she listens to different music and the Bluetooth has been problem free for her. The included microphone is of good quality and we have no problems hearing each other. Like others have stated it is hard to see in sunlight or if it's bright inside the car but perfect at night.

Lots of Functions, Usability is So-So, Sounds Good, Bluetooth Good
MartyB from Park Hills, KY on 5/16/2020
2007 Honda Ridgeline
OK- I would give this a 3.5 rating, but if I had to round down or up, I'd round down. First, Crutchfield is awesome. I just can't say enough good things about them. They are 5 out of 5 in commerce aspects of their business. Second, post my initial installation, the AM stations weren't great. When I read the Sony wire out, I misunderstood & did not connect the Blue-White to the two solid Blue wires on the antenna connector. I called Crutchfield, they told me my issue. They told me to hook up the Blue-White and problem would be solved. My AM stations are just fine now. Product review - User manual is awful. Pretty useless. Their website is a bit better. - The usability, e.g. getting to features & setting it up, is about as dumb. It's little things like, how you move between menus, click on a feature, set it, etc. It's just not extremely well-thought out. Example, Sirius, don't want it or need it. I should be able to remove that from the menu settings. - Sounds good. - EQ and interface colors are extremely configurable, though I might not ever change them - Hands-free sounds clear thus far. - Bluetooth seems solid. Bluetooth connection=painless. I had a Pioneer previously and I found its setup/configuration to be more usable. Recommendation: It's probably as well designed as others, I'll get used to it. I'd probably buy a Pioneer if I had it to do over. I expect great service from this and sounds good, but usability lacks.

Good sound, user interface not for crumdgeons
Crutchfield customer from Laguna Hills, CA on 5/14/2020
2003 Ford Ranger
Pros: Sounds good with original Ford Ranger speakers, phone Bluetooth paired pretty easily, nice (ridiculously) big volume menu knob is easy to find. Voice recognition with included mic seems to work well with Siri. Comes with a remote that will not be used in a pickup truck. Cons: Like other aftermarket radios I've had from Sony, buttons you need to use functions, like change Source from to radio/Bluetooth, or switch modes from AM to FM are as tiny as possible and impossible to read from a distance. They could have made a reasonable sized volume knob and spared us the giant Bass Booster button and made the station presets and other buttons bigger. Lots of knobs have multiple functions and the manual is very brief and doesn't explain them very well. No menu tree provided to figure out how to navigate features. Silly variable color spaceship accent lights cannot be separately dimmed, to get rid of them you have to dim radio display too. Instead of wasting money on a handheld remote control, if they offered a Bluetooth 4 way up/down/forward/back remote control that sticks on the steering wheel next to your thumb (like factory radios) they would sell like crazy. Crutchfield provided great documentation as usual. Not sure about the installation kit selection, but it ultimately worked. Seems like it would not be that difficult to make a mount to fit a single height DIN radio into a double DIN hole without having to use a Dremel tool to grind a plastic ridge off.

Unit is Just OK
Douglas from Rockford, IL on 5/14/2020
2008 Kia Optima
The sound is very good from the radio. Installation was not difficult. I think the nice long connection wires from the radio helped. I am disappointed in the brightness of text in the display window. At least in daytime light, it is hard to read. Figuring out controls on the radio seems a little cumbersome too. Evidence to that is a 152 page help guide available online. Some of the main buttons used seem too small. Definitely more difficult to use than the Kia factory radio that it replaced.
Pros: Very good sound.
Cons: Display in display window is not bright enough.

Installed in 2003 Subaru Forester. Fit was perfect. No issues with using factory brackets or Crutchfield wiring harness. Love the infinite color and adjustable brightness on the front panel. Great iPhone integration and the big dial/button duplicates the home button on the phone. About as good as it gets when you don't have controls on the steering wheel.
Pros: Just about everything!
Cons: Mic is a bit of a pain to install in a good location, but doable with a little effort. Might be easier in other cars.

Good priced headunit. I didnt want to have a CD player built in anymore just because i use my phone over bluetooth and this looked like a good option. I replaced the stock unit in my Ford Focus 03 ZX3 which is a different story for fitting in my car BUT it sounds great. Some of the menus are a little annoying to get through (menus in menus in menus). People said they have problems with demo mode starting to play which its a settings you have to turn off that i found pretty quickly. Altogether great sound, decent price, good bluetooth connectivity.
Pros: Simple, good sound with a built in EQ, pretty easy to get connected and has expansion for subwoofers like most headunits. Also its RGB so choose a color you like :D
Cons: Menus are a bit convoluted and has many submenus to tweak its features. Not necessarily a bad thing just annoying if you want to quickly change something on your EQ or another minute setting.

Great unit, expensive install
Crutchfield customer from Harwich, MA on 4/5/2020
2005 Toyota 4Runner
The unit sounds great, it's a big upgrade to the original 2005 Toyota radio that came with the vehicle. The only issue I had was with the installation price. I wish I had been pointed to the link to local installers. My mechanic installed it for me, and it cost more than twice the cost of the unit to install. If I had checked out some options, I might have saved some money.
Pros: Great sounding unit, looks good
Cons: Cost a fortune to install

Sony DSX-B700 Stereo
James from Jenkintown, PA on 3/22/2020
2003 Toyota MR2 Spyder
Very nice stereo for the price. The installation was pretty straight forward. I followed some instructions on You Tube for the radio replacement in addition to the instructions sent by Crutchfield. Looks great. The only issue I has was that the screws supplied by Sony were too short to work the Toyota mounting brackets and the dash kit supplied by Crutchfield for the face plate. No biggie, went to the hardware store and picked up some slightly longer screws. Very happy overall.
Pros: Fairly easy installation. Looks nice and sounds great.
Cons:

Awesome system for the price. Replaced my stock headunit with this one. Really wanted/needed the Bluetooth functionality. TBH ever since I have installed it, the Bluetooth is all I have used. It just works once you set it up. Which is pretty simple too.
Pros: Easy to install, sounds great.
Cons: Fit and finish can always be fun.

Poor fit & finish for 2012 Tacoma
Crutchfield customer from Greenville, SC on 1/10/2020
2012 Toyota Tacoma
Says it fits 2012 Toyota Tacoma. The radio doesn't come anywhere near close to hitting the mark when fitting into the dash with the Metra 95-8235 Dash Kit that came with the purchase and supposedly pairs the radio/dash panel to vehicle. As my pictures show, I had to use a piece of black rubber door insulation to cover the 1/4" plus gap on the bottom of the radio otherwise you'd see straight back into the innards of the dash. Not very pretty. Still has slight gaps on each side but didn't have anymore Rube Goldberg ideas so I left it alone. I'm taking ideas... Reviews with pictures show much better fit and finish with other vehicles so maybe this is a Tacoma thing. Also had issues (as others did) with the supplied screws not being long enough to get through the plastic brackets and indented holes in the sides of the radio. Had to go to hardware store and buy longer screws. The generic plastic brackets that came with the dash kit also caused the radio to be cattywampus when installed so my door insulation fix actually pushed the radio up and straight giving it the best look IMO. This is for my sons truck and he likes it and wants to keep it so that plus the general hassle of packing everything back up and returning anything purchased online (not Crutchfield per se) are the reasons I didn't return it.
Pros: It's Sony, affordable price, my son likes the operation of radio, bluetooth seems to work well, plug-in microphone for hands free calling works great,
Cons: Fit and finish in 2012 Tacoma dash, mounting screws, generic plastic brackets, the display is not bright enough during day (watch video of this product on Crutchfield website and pay attention 45 seconds in. 45 seconds on is a more accurate portrayal of the display brightness than the first 45 seconds)

Crutchfield customer from Mc Lean, VA on 12/26/2019
2006 Toyota 4Runner
Crutchfield made it easy to install by buying the wire harness. Worth every penny. Called Crutchfield support quickly without holding, very helpful as I had a few extra plugs that I was concerned about. However, this radio required the use of the side blank panels to make for a perfect fit in my 2006 Toyota 4Runner. This created a problem in that the screws were not long enough for the original mounting bracket and the side blanking / gap panels to screw into the radio. Had to go to a local hardware store, adding about 2 hours to what could have been at 45 minute install. It would have also been good to know that this radio fits perfectly or needs these panels to make a perfect fit. The only other feature I do not like is the fact I can only connect 2 blue tooth devices at a time and there appears no way to clear a device. The only way to get my iphone to connect is by physically connecting via the USB Cable. The sound quality is very good and much improved over the OEM radio. Weird that there is also no obvious power on or power button.

2008 Toyota 4Runner
Really nice, install was pretty easy though I did have to buy some longer screws than those that came with the dash adapter kit (as you reuse the Toyota radio mounting brackets). Not an issue, instructions 9from the pdf provided) were fine.
Pros: Pretty! Nice functionality, install was pretty easy
Cons: Screws for the radio mounting were a little too short.

Close but not quite
Crutchfield customer from Americus, GA on 12/13/2019
2001 Ford F-250 Super Duty
Good unit for the price. Bluetooth can be a little frustrating at times... Even though my device is paired, and the unit seems to recognize it, it doesn't always work. Usually, I discover that it's not working while I'm driving. Now I've started checking and re-linking my device while waiting for my truck to warm up. I haven't downloaded any updates for the unit yet. Maybe that will help. Can't seem to get the dimmer to work in conjunction with turning on my headlights, so I either dim it manually or set a time-of-day for it to auto-dim starting at that time. I wasn't able to get the mounting kit Crutchfield included for my 2001 Ford F250 Superduty Lariat to connect securely, so it's mostly installed, but really just sitting there loose in the dash. On the good news side, the sound quality is pretty good and radio tuner picks up stations much better than my old stock radio did.
Pros: Good sound quality and strong radio tuner
Cons: Bluetooth is frustrating

Installation on a Mitsubishi Lancer 2013 was a breeze. With all the provided hardware and instructions I was able to remove the old unit and install the new one in less than 40 minutes while keeping the factory speakers plus 10 to program all the features. Got the external microphone right were the factory unit was neatly, calls are crystal clear. Highly recommend the Ready Harness service, top notch preparation. My son is really happy with the radio, great sound and tons of features. Always like Sony products.

Auditory ease
Crutchfield customer from Santee, CA on 11/17/2019
2011 Volkswagen Golf
From the plug and play of prewired harness and OEM connectors to the reliable head unit, this is as convenient as it gets for DIY install. Thank you. Adapter fit well in my mk6 golf, fit and finish of all components is superb. Instructions were clear. The ordering of all necessary items is well thought iut on the website and received in good order. Satisfied with the entire experience. Please note the detail of the microphone embedded in the face plate for those not wanting to route wiring or attach things to your visor.
Pros: All connection are dissimilar and mistake proof. Sound quality is good, better than stock. Steering wheel controls function properly retaining a level of safe driving in combination with hands free calling.
Cons: Not crazy about the external microphone. Having any exposed wiring or components departs from the sanitary look and feel of factory build.

Great sound and value in 4th gen 4runner
Crutchfield customer from Cedar Park, TX on 11/5/2019
2006 Toyota 4Runner
Great replacement for my 2006 4runner. Sounds way better than the stock head unit with my factory speakers. Bluetooth works great and is very straight forward and hands free calling sounds great (wired mic up near driver pillar and sun visor). Came pre-wired curtsy of Crutchfield and the steering wheel controls work. Only downside is the menu functions are a little tedious. For example, after selecting preferred sound preset you can hit the back button several times but it doesn't get you all the way back to the main screen where you can control volume. you have to push down on the main control nob for 2-3 seconds. Not enough to drop the stars, but I miss having the volume control override everything else and get you back to the main screen on my stock head unit. The bass boost is also pretty solid. I added an under seat powered sub, but almost didn't need it with that function. Still like that extra kick though. Seriously great value and definitely better than stock in my vehicle. Easy install with pre-wired connections (additional purchase).
Pros: Price. sound. functionality with blue tooth. Hands free calling. Easy access USB on face. Easy install.
Cons: Menu controls
