Sony Xplod




Bluetooth technology is now spreading to car's headunit. A good example is this Sony Xplod MEX-BT3600U. This is a CD/radio player that has it all (except for DVD + video that is). Not only it can give you great quality of sound and entertainment, it also provides you Bluetooth for handsfree and mobile music. It's a built in one that is really useful for those who love to make a call or two via phones or those who often receive calls from their phones.


A handy tool of masterpiece for its price

BT Audio refers to Bluetooth Audio. So far I have paired this unit with my SE K850i (other handphones may also be compatible except for iPhone I guess). With BT Audio you can easily play songs from your handphones via bluetooth device. Just choose the source button to BT Audio (make sure you on bluetooth devices from both your headunit + mobile phone) and voila!..you can now use your handphones to play the music inside it while the unit receives the songs depending on the volume of your phone, and the headunit's own volume too

BT Phone, typically for Bluetooth Phone. You can now speak freely without having your phone on your right grip and steer the wheel on the other side that would lead you to a summon by the police or an accident of course. The unit has a very good quality mic built-in inside for you to communicate and your car speakers to hear the voices from your callers/receivers. Eventhough you're listening to the songs when someone calls to your phone, the unit will automatically mute the speakers and ringtones appear just to let you know there is a call for you to pick up

USB device is the thing I love very much in a headunit. It means you can have extra lots of songs depending on how big the storage of your pendrive :D Below the USB you can see a Auxillary hole which once I've read the other owners of this player use it for iPod application

Other reviewers said that iPod cannot be played via the USB port provided, but when I tried it, it's fully functional. Just you can't select the folder inside your iPod via the unit. Instead, you can only play the songs randomly. I don't know why it is not played in alphabetical order though. Who cares, as long as I can enjoy the music from my iPod, that's more than enough



Basically, for the price of $B300 ++ , this headunit is far more cheaper than other units with the same function. Furthermore, from what I observe, lots of headunits out there provide bluetooth as an add on or optional which means whilst you have to pay for expensive headunits, you have to pay another extra dollars for the bluetooth device which is not that cheap!
