 Pretty Good Receiver, Looks good and Functions well with USB, Ipod, etc.Dec 08, 2009
By John
The Sony CDXGT640UI Receiver is a good receiver with easy to use functions. I purchased this to replace another Sony receiver (same model variety) from 2006 that got stolen. The USB port works well with ipods, USB memory sticks, and other MP3 player deceives. Like most car receivers, it's easy to install by following the directions packaged with the box.
PROS:
* Easy to Install
* Looks stylish
* External USB port works very well with IPOD, usb and other MP3 devices.
* IPOD search for song, artist etc works good.
* Auxilary inputs located in the back of the unit work well.
* Easy to remove faceplate
* Easy to adjust settings
* Easy to turn off demo mode, and faceplate warning beeping
CONS:
* Text/display is difficult to read in daylight.
* Display appears dim (even on the highest setting)
* Preset Buttons are very close together which may inadvertently gets pushed
* Seek Buttons have no texture or highly visible text on it, and so may take a second to realize their function, expecially when packed next to the ZAP, search, and equalizer setting buttons.
* There is a slight learning curve to understand all the features, and setting arrangements.
The fall down face plate that conceals the CD slot is the highlight of this product for me. The dim text display is the low point and is the number one reason why I would not purchase this again, but there are no other Sony options with the same look and features all in one.
Overall, I would purchase this unit again for the look of it and if its priced under $120 (which is what I paid for it through Amazon).

 Sounds awesome, but...Jun 25, 2010
By Andrew
I've had this unit for about a month now and I'm very happy with it's functionality. It sounds great and has a lot of nice options. I bought it to interface with my iPod and I couldn't be happier with the way it does. I do always keep it in iPod control mode because it's always going to be easier to find a song on the iPod versus any CD player. However, I just can't understand what Sony was thinking on a few aspects of this thing.
First of all, as others have said, the display is ridiculously dim. You can barely read the thing during the day even with the contrast turned all the way up. My friend just had a $60 CD player installed and the display can easily be read at all times so there is no excuse for this $100+ unit to have an unreadable display. I knew about this problem before I bought it and even though it's annoying, I would still buy it again because I do like the unit. Now what really ticks me off is how easily my screen got scratched. I go on my first GPS necessary trip with this thing (only 2 hours of driving) and arrive home to find a series of scratches on the screen. What are they from? The power cord on my GPS. Yes, that nice smooth power cord scratched my screen to hell right where the time is displayed making it even harder to read in daylight hours. Couldn't believe it. Perhaps I could have been more careful, but c'mon, it should be able to take that. God forbid I ever actually wanted to take my faceplate off and slipped it in my pocket or something. I'd hate to see what would happen then.

 Great UnitJan 04, 2010
By A. Socorro
I love it, I got four head units before this one, is the only one that plays my ipod and iphone with no problem. Pretty fast reading the usb from iphone or ipod. Great for Pandora or any radio station you like playing on your iphone.

Great upgrade from stock radio!Feb 06, 2010
By Samuel M. Forty
"Samdamansamsam"
This is my first radio replacement (11 years after purchasing my car) so obviously it is a great upgrade. I love the remote and I love the stylish look of the radio. Great buy so far!
Install was easy with my car's harness kit and I even added a powered subwoofer to complete the system. Install was fairly easy as everything was properly labeled and color coded.

Fine product, GREAT price, recommended AMAZON vendorJun 24, 2010
By Randy Chua
I bought this car stereo to replace the deck in my 1992 Lexus SC400 that finally broke after 18 years of competent service. Early on, I decided I didn't need HD radio, nor Satelite radio capability. My Bluetooth needs were iffy, but I certainly needed USB connectivity, and easy iPod access. This unit provided that, at an extremely low price, while it was on sale through J&R.
Pros:
- Extensive feature set for the price
- File searching on a USB device is pretty easy, assuming you know what's on the USB drive
- Good sound; competent sound shaping capability
- Full low-level connectivity (front, rear, and subwoofer RCA connections) with crossover adjustability
Cons:
- TERRIBLE reflection issues, hard to read display; front face is a shiny convex panel that reflects EVERY bright light source during the day, especially the right passenger window; so bad I drop the rating on this product down one point
- Big display face isn't utilized efficiently; wastes space on spectrum analyzer display
