Sony DSX-A50BT

I finally got fed up with the radio in my car. The USB connector did not work as the whole device shut down when I connected the memory stick. I even bought a memory card but that slot did not work either. I was worried that the problem was caused by the wiring in the car but as the radio was working normally, it did not seem likely.

The space in the car is very limited so I spent some time earlier trying to find a shallow head unit. The only one available (that I could find from Finland) was the Sony DSX-A50BT. I ordered one from Verkkokauppa.com, and it arrived in a day.


Installing the radio took about 5 minutes as everything plugged straight in. I tested the USB and Bluetooth playback and it worked perfectly. I was a bit worried that the unit did not have iPod controls but Bluetooth support could be used just as easily. Sound quality was also much better now!
