When it comes to entry level head-units the Sony CDX-GT310MP stands out from the rest. Not only is affordable, robust and has that nice Sony look about it, it has a Front AUX (a must these days) and a Rear/Sub switchable Pre-out!

The real selling point to myself on this unit is the wireless Remote Control, yes I know a lot of head-units come with remote’s these days but how many entry level units do? I myself haven’t seen a lot that do!
