Wonder which model of Sony you have Rob? Mine is a DSX-A510BD as FM/DAB and Bluetooth capability were major requirements for me, same footwell speakers as well although have second pair hooked up closer to my ears. Now have the Sony Music Centre app on my Android phone working perfectly (after reading connection instructions
) where previously it was very flaky. Also updated firmware on radio (improved Bluetooth and DAB reception) which was painless. Can now access and tweak the radio's 10 channel custom equaliser from my phone where previously you had to do acrobatics to work with the radio panel.
Hi Richard
I have a Sony A410BT which I assume is similar to yours but without DAB and also the sing along Karaoke setting (which I assume is your reason for buying it)
. I don't listen to radio much and have a concealed 'aerial' so you cant even see I have a stereo fitted.
I really wish I'd fitted a Bluetooth stereo when I first got the car but was put off by a previous thread on here on here and comments that you wouldn't be able to hear it and they preferred the exhaust sound. They were wrong, I can hear both the stereo and the exhaust even at high volume, in fact I hear the exhaust even more because I seem to drive the car harder with music playing!
As you say the Sony phone app is great. No need for a separate remote these days and all my music library, track change, volume and equaliser all on my phone which will be shortly fitted on a magnetic mount on the dashboard.
With some rear speakers and/or a subwoofer similar to Stewarts I reckon I will get a really good sound even if not in Stewarts top of the range league!
