So far so good

Advantages: Cheap, easy to use
Disadvantages: Needs an external aerial to get full advantage (in my case anyway)

...so I went for a Pure Highway, as previously stated these take up more space on the windscreen with cables everywhere. I came up with the solution of fitting it into my centre console armrest, out of sight, open the cover to change channels, luckily my armrest has a 12V socket & a Aux in so I don't have to use the FM transmitter. Unfortunately the aerial cable was too short so I bought a 2.5mm connector 2m extension cable off e-bay. I tried the windscreen ...
...had 99.99% success rate the pure is more like 75% tbh, often dropping signal in built up areas, I've now ordered an external aerial in the hope that will improve mattersas it could be down to the windows in the Avensis blocking the signal. Great bit of kit, take your time installing it especially if you don't want cables everywhere. Also I did read somewhere not to plug/unplug the aerial while powered on as it has been reported that it could damage ...

Review of Sony CDXM630

Good product... For 8 Months...

Advantages: Delivers high quality sound. Adjustable graphic equaliser.
Disadvantages: Reads ID3 tags improperly. Buttons malfunction.

I fitted this into my car as soon as I bought it about a year ago. At first, this stereo was brilliant, it delivered high quality sound from the radio, CD player or MP3 player to the speakers. The preset graphic equaliser worked brilliantly and it also has the option of adjusting the settings manually to suit your speakers and the song. The initial setup of the was very simple. This includes setting the time and also the radio stations. I found ...
...it failed to display the ID3 tags of the MP3 discs properly so i had to adjust it to just display the time to stop myself from becoming incredibly irritated by it. However, all of these great features were eclipsed by a major problem occurred. This problem was that ALL of the buttons failed to do their job and instead took on a job of a different button. This happened after having the stereo fitted for around 8 months-ish. It soon became a major ...
