Sony CDX GT-222

Advantages: Good value for money
Disadvantages: Not compatible with the ipod touch

...I got the Sony CDX-GT 44IP as a present a couple of months ago, as my friend bought another one. It's a great little item. Sound: The sound quality is very good. Much better than you would expect it for this sort of price. As it was a present I cannot tell you how much I paid. But you'll find it in the internet for about £73. Considering this price is a brilliant item with a lot of features found normally on much higher priced units. It comes with a IR remote control, which you do not need i a car but can be a nice little extra. It works with most ipods but unfortunately not with the iPod touch. The installation instructions are very good. There will not be any problems. It has the ability to connect up an amp further which enhances the sound. Another problem is, that it can be a bit of a pain to find a song, if... Read review

...Good All-round head unit, Quick Install and Good Sound Quality My Lust for all things Sony continued when I had to replace my old Sony CDX-MP40 head unit.

Features are excellent and include MP3, CD, Radio, USB and Aux input for your ipod, flash drive or a good tip is to get one of those mini usb hard drives which you can copy hundreds of tracks onto.

...Excellent All-round Head Unit I bought this Sony head unit for my partner exactly 1 year ago as a christmas present and I can only say that I made an excellent choice. I bought this model because I had already bought a sony for myself a few years earlier and it had lasted me a long time with no major problems. This model looks great in her Fiat dash board and I'm sure the stylish silver finish would look good in most other modern cars. The Sound quality is excellent, even at loud volumes where the top notes and the bass remains clear. You also have a selection of equaliser options to choose from. The choice of functions is good to and if you can use either the radio - FM/MW and LW or CD. There is also a usb input which can be used to play music directly from a usb stick. Alternatively you hav an aux input at the front... Read review
