Reviews of the Sony CDX-GT420IP
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Sony CDX-GT420IP provides drivers with a broad range of digital audio options, including a means of browsing and playing songs from an iPod.
The Bad: The system's iPod search functionality is limited by the simplicity of the stereo's design, including its glare-prone monochrome display.
The Bottom Line: Sony's CDX-GT420IP is an affordable means of taking your iPod library on the road. While its basic user interface lacks the search functionality of some other systems, this is a competitively priced and decent sounding entry-level stereo for the digital-audio age.
