What customers say about "Key Specs"
Sony MEX-XB100BT Single DIN Hi-Power Bluetooth in-Dash CD/AM/FM/SiriusXM Ready Car Stereo
- Built-in amplifier 4-100W. The potential "noise" of the amplifier of this radio in comparison with individual amplifiers does not bother me.
- A good device, the radio catches fine. Satisfied with energy consumption.
- Who does not want to bother with amplifiers and subwoofers. this is the best choice.
- Some minor points in the software could be made better as this is the Sony.
- Powered directly from the battery by a good power cable. But it is cut down when the engine starts.
Sony MEX-XB120BT Single DIN Hi-Power Bluetooth In-Dash CD/AM/FM/SiriusXM Ready Car Stereo
- This is an excellent deck. I have no issues with form, function, build.
- The power output is excellent. I bought this unit specifically because of the 45x4 RMS power output.
- I upgraded the factory Honda speakers to JBLs 6.5" upfront and 6x9" in the rear. They are well matched to the head unit power output.
- Great product so far. I've had it installed for a few months now. It will blow your speakers if your not careful!
- My speakers are Kenwood 4 inch 50 watt RMS and 6x9, 45 watt RMS. This unit 40 watt RMS.

What customers say about "Features"
Sony MEX-XB100BT Single DIN Hi-Power Bluetooth in-Dash CD/AM/FM/SiriusXM Ready Car Stereo
- Custom backlight. RGB correction with 5-bit color depth. You can separately adjust the backlight of the buttons and display.
- Lot of sound settings, like ten band equalizer, low pass filter.
- NFC allows you to "make friends" with the phone radio with one touch.
- There is lack of settings for building a good channel setup.
- Appearance is too embellished, a more strict look would be much better.
Sony MEX-XB120BT Single DIN Hi-Power Bluetooth In-Dash CD/AM/FM/SiriusXM Ready Car Stereo
- Many quality improving features built into the Sony deck.
- Excellent stereo, lots of really cool features and the power output was great when paired with MB quart lighted marine speakers.
- The face of the radio is detachable and has a carbon fiber etched look to it. There's a infinite amount of color options for the LED backlights.
- The only thing I don't like is that when charging my phone the unit will recognize a USB device at plug in and switch from bt to aux.
- A little disapointed that the old dash remote does not work well with is.

What customers say about "Connectivity"
Sony MEX-XB100BT Single DIN Hi-Power Bluetooth in-Dash CD/AM/FM/SiriusXM Ready Car Stereo
- Bluetooth Audio How many AUX wires are buried, how many AUX connectors are broken on the phone, how many flash drives have died. Enough. Only wireless music transfer.
- Bluetooth coonect. Auto turns into a hands-free headset.
- Via NFC, it instantly launches a playlist from a smartphone, reads all audio files from a flash drive without any problems.
- As soon as I connected, I decided to test the volume and the rear speakers just exploded on this power. Amazing speakers and very easy to connect.
- When playing from USB, you need to clean the USB flash drive from unnecessary files, otherwise it hangs and you have to reboot and configure it again.
Sony MEX-XB120BT Single DIN Hi-Power Bluetooth In-Dash CD/AM/FM/SiriusXM Ready Car Stereo
- Bluetooth well it's on ad off with good performance but tolerable.
- The Bluetooth works great! I have spotify on my phone and it just works like you want it to.
- The Bluetooth calling works great as well. I like it. I recommend.
- Easy to use. Every feature you wanted and many features you didn’t know you wanted. Extra bass works perfect.
- The "extra bass" button isn't really extra bass as much as it is "less treble."
