What is NEW<\/strong> is the DSX-A40UI<\/a> Mechless iPod Unit<\/strong>, these units are not only USB\/iPod<\/strong> units but they also have a mounting depth of half a standard DIN unit.<\/p>\n

My overall opinion of the Sony DSX-A40UI<\/strong> is that it makes for a great first Head-Unit<\/strong> since a lot of the the younger generation’s no longer by CD’s<\/strong>, it would also suit someone that has a vehicle that get’s knocked around a lot (Off-Roading etc) since it doesn’t have a CD Mech<\/strong> there is a lot less to go wrong with all the vibration. It’s also a good option for people that have limited space behind the dash!<\/p>\n
