The iPod controls on the radio/remote are easy to use when moving from track to track and/or album to album, answering calls via the bluetooth couldn't be easier by pressing the volume button to answer, the audio streaming from the mobile again very easy. Dislikes are really only me being picky, the blue display just doesn't go with the rest on my dashboard and can't be changed (dual LED like earlier models would have been nice)and having to take the fascia out is annoying, why don't Sony use a code system.

If you are buying this product for the Bluetooth, buy something else, the internal mic means the caller can not hear anything when the vehicle is travelling at speed, and the caller hears their own voice being repeated back at them. The stereo sound itself is very good, but this was not purchased as a stereo

The XA-110IP adapter that comes with this package is badly flawed, every time you switch your ignition off and start the car again the ipod resets to the begining of your first playlist. Any changes you've made to playback are also reset i'e shuffle mode, album or song priority etc.
This quickly gets very annoying, stopping for petrol, popping into the shop etc all mean the ipod resets to default and because the adapter assumes control of the ipod's screen you can't easily navigate back to where you left off.
After 2 weeks of this I've found I don't bother listening to my ipod anymore as it too much hassle to set up everytime I get in the car, I've now ordered the updated adapter (XA-120IP) from amazon which is supposed to address most of these problems. So my advice would be to buy the headunit and updated adapter seperately for not much more money than this package.

I BOUGHT THIS RADIO FOR MY GRANDSON:S 18TH BIRTHDAY AND HE WAS VERY PLEASED WITH IT AND ALSO ALL THE FUNTIONS ONIT I WAS AGAIN IMPRESSED WITH THE SERVIS I RECIEVED AND PROMPTNESS.
