Sony CDX-GT700UI Product Review

The Sony CDX-GT700UI is an awesome USB Head-unit for a person looking for a USB/iPod/Flash-drive compatible Head-unit with lots of features at a good price! Not only does it have a front USB and AUX, it also has three Pre-out’s for running amplifiers to your front, rear speakers and sub-woofer.

Got a song you like on your iPod/iPhone but don’t know what its called… Well the CDX-GT700UI has a cool little feature ZAPPIN, that allows you to preview the chorus of a song with a choice of a 4 or 15 second preview. When you find the song you were looking for all you need to do is press the ZAPPIN button a second time and it starts playing it from the beginning.

I know I have said this before but I like this feature so much that I feel that every USB/iPod unit should come with it!
