My overall opinion of the\u00a0Sony DSX-A40BT<\/strong>\u00a0is that it makes for a great first\u00a0Head-Unit<\/strong>\u00a0since a lot of the the younger generation’s no longer by\u00a0CD’s <\/strong>and having Bluetooth makes it popular with the iPhone\/Samsung generation.\u00a0It would also suit someone that has a vehicle that get’s knocked around a lot (Off-Roading etc) since it doesn’t have a\u00a0CD Mech<\/strong>\u00a0there 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
