The good: The Sony CDX-GT610UI car stereo offers lots of support for external digital-audio sources, a good range of sound adjustment options, and a very intuitive user interface.
The bad: Its lack of an On button puzzled us for a while.
The bottom line: The Sony CDX-GT610UI car stereo is a cost-effective and user-friendly option for digital audiophiles. Its USB and iPod compatibility set it apart from much of the single-DIN stereo competition.
