CleanSierra Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I've been a huge Kenwood eXcelon nut hugger for some time now, but for the price, THIS thing has me interested. 4V outs(5 sets) 7 band EQ and a great looking 7" screen. Sony makes great electronics, but I'm wondering if this thing is worth the gamble. It's right at 4 bills, which is about half of my eXcelons price. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll.

CleanSierra Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 sony has really bounced back in the way of head units. the rest not so much. You think it might be worth the $400 bucks? I'm nervous to trust Sony with car audio, but all the features seem legit. Maybe I'll snag it and do a review so others might gain an opinion too. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll.

CleanSierra Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I'm just wondering if the iPod useability is quick enough. The reviews I've seen say it might lag a little bit. I really want to buy it and try it out. I hope they've got a good product again, Sony makes such good other stuff. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

Jaloosk Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) I run a Sony head unit in my DD (for over a year now) and I like it. I'd buy another.

n8ball2013 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I have a kenwood that the ipod lags in. It has to do with loading the artwork etc. im willing to bet the sony is the same way.

CleanSierra Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I have a kenwood that the ipod lags in. It has to do with loading the artwork etc. im willing to bet the sony is the same way. That's how my DDX896 was, but once it loaded finally, it never lagged after that changing back and girth from different songs or albums. Seems like it only lagged on the initial plug in of the iPod/iPhone. I am pretty made up on this deck, I'll show install pics when I get it. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll.
