Sony CDX-DAB6650
(5 out of 5) by D. TURNER on Jun 28, 2008 (LONDON)I have just fitted this radio, the installation was easy ,both the wiring and internal antenna. The dab reception is fantastic and even worked for a while in a multi storey car park , on leaving the car park it regained the signal as quick as FM .Sound and volume are good. Mp3 player works fine and scrolls titles as well.I don`t have any issues with the buttons , you just have to get used to them as with any new gadget.
I connected my tom tom with the auxiliary cable(supplied)and it too works.overall ,Im well happy

everything but dab
(4 out of 5) by astra van man on Dec 20, 2005 (traffic jam on the M25)recieved product as a gift - was well impressed, installed with ease into my van, only problem was no DAB. So i fiddled for a while then e-mailed sony, four days later i got a shrugged shoulders response from SUK ((sony UK)so fittingly named)) and i'm without DAB but apart from that a very nice peice of kit, clear graphics user friendly menu and as always the great sony sound + it reads those home made cd's

Probably not what people want
(3 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Oct 15, 2005Fantastic to see Sony enter the DAB head unit market. When I read their website 6 months ago, I couldn't have been happier. I wanted a DAB head unit from Sony to enable me to keep my minidisc and CD autochangers that I have purchased over the last few years and this appeared to be the product for me.
I ordered the same day and over the next few months watched the order date slip and slip. Finally I received the product and Sony had changed the specifications. No longer was this a CD/MD changer controller. I was gutted!
On the positive side, this product decodes MP3 CDs and looks smart, but without the changer control it is pretty useless.

One year on
(4 out of 5) by Jan on May 17, 2009I have owned this cd radio for one year having purchased it from Halfords and with them fitting it.I bought it specifically for listening to DAB radio and I am not disappointed although reception varies according to location.The CD works fine, no problems. Excellent service from Halfords.
I lost the sound from the RH speaker soon after purchase but quickly fixed, a loose wire. Quality wise no problems but it can be fiddly to adjust the settings.
It is convenient to be able to remove the front panel when leaving the car unattended.
Overall I would recommend this unit although, as with most modern electronic items it is a little overcomplicated for me.

Sony DAB in-Car radio CD with aux input
(4 out of 5) by R W Nixon on Mar 9, 2009 (Manchester, UK)Easy to fit swapping it over in a FIAT Ducato van based motorcaravan. One wire to swap for permanent live feed so radio can be on without the ignition.
Reception (Rx sensitivity) so far seems mixed - very good when parked up but less sensitive when driving in fringe reception areas on FM and DAB. DAB switches to FM when necessary.
