Good

6.3

out of 10

CNET Editor's rating: 6.3 out of 10
Reviewed by Kevin Massy
Review date: 10/18/07

The good: The Sony CDX-GT520 is a user-friendly car stereo with intuitive controls, support for a wide range of sources including HD Radio, and good expandability options.

The bad: To play HD Radio on the device, drivers will have to buy and install Sony's unwieldy XT-100HD tuner. HD Radio comes at the price of all other FM and AM radio stations.

The bottom line: The Sony CDX-GT520 is a decent option for those wanting a reasonably priced stereo to play disc-based audio. While it does support HD Radio, it requires the connection of a clunky add-on module, which is almost more trouble than it's worth.
