I really like this unit. Maybe it's just because I think like the Sony guys when it comes to using a device - I don't know.
I installed the unit in my Jeep in about 5 minutes using a generic wiring harness adapter. I plugged my iPod into the Tune Tray and was scrolling through album titles in seconds. It does take a few seconds to "read" the iPod which is understandable since I have about 40GB of music on it.
I found it easy to set up the EQ; I used the Gravity preset first then tweaked it a little. I really liked the listening space feature which I set to front left seat since I drive by myself most of the time. It sounds great and is plenty loud for my vehicle.
This unit was a little more expensive than some that I considered but not too bad considering Bluetooth is included. Unlike the previous unlucky reviewer, I knew exactly what I was getting. I use the Tune Tray for my iPod and I connect my iPhone 3GS via Bluetooth to stream music from my iPhone. I have used all kinds of different apps with no issues so far (Napster, Pandora, etc.). Using a USB stick in the front USB input also works great - this is a better receiver than some others because it supports AAC files in addition to MP3.
Bottom line: I now have access to virtually unlimited music, and I can actually find what I want without cumbersome buttons and inefficient navigation.

With bluetooth enabled on my phone all I have to do is walk into my car now and press play on my phone. The stereo connects automatically and quickly (after an easy initial setup) to my phone.
Amazon had the cheapest price on the net at the time of my purchase. Do yourself a favor and buy a deck like this one which uses technology newer than the year 2000.
CD's? psssh. My 30gb ipod classic stored inside the head unit and 32gb non apple cell phone work wonderfully and scoff at the notion of cd's with mp3's.

My previous head unit finally crapped out after dying a slow, annoying death.
I concluded that all I needed was line in and pre-amp outputs. That's all I need for my ipod touch. My system does not require the head unit for amplification and I don't use CDs or listen to the radio anymore.
I chose this more expensive model because I wanted the BT integration. I moved to CA and it's not legal to drive on the phone without handsfree. It also had a nicer display.
The unit has lots of adjustments. I only use the 7 band eq and adjusted sound for my car's speaker distances. It sounds really good.
You can see all your playlists and content type on the display.
Overall, I'm pleased but the selector knob is pretty bad. It presses, rotates and moves four ways. The menu system is not very intuitive when navigating and I have trouble pressing in the knob, often moving it in one of four directions with unexpected results. Sometimes it doesn't seem to press at all. The knob would be enough reason to return most other head units, but here the positives outweigh this problem (and it's already installed). I recommend not even trying to use this unit while moving.
Next most annoying issue for me is that you can't start a playlist in shuffle. It remembers what it was doing when you start the car, but when you change playlists you have to hit play, then hit shuffle. So one song starts when you hit play, then another starts when you hit shuffle.
Also, I really wanted a spectrum analyzer on the display which this claims to have. But it does not seem to correspond to the music, is behind the text, and is angled as if it's going into the unit. It's pretty crappy, so I turned it off.
Finally, ultimately not a big deal to me, the description says there is a line in jack, but there is not. I thought I would use it if the play counts were not updated when using the ipod "inside". However, the play counts do update.
Good: Concept, sound quality, equalizer, display, BT compatibility
Bad: Cheap/flashy plastic materials for buttons and knob, hard to read buttons, usability of the controls/menu, spectrum analyzer
