Garbage- fake dead USB

CDX-G1200U / CDX-G1201U 31 December 2019 by Michaelpmustache (USA)

Android and iPhone don’t play music through the USB. It just says “USB NO SUPPRT”. Look it up everyone affected. Why have a USB port? This is classic bait and switch.

Nice upgrade for my 2011 Tacoma

CDX-G1200U / CDX-G1201U 08 December 2018 by Tom58 (USA)

The stock radio in my Tacoma was pretty bad! I listen to talk radio 80% of the time and for that it was fine. But sometimes I like to listen to some tunes and the stock radio just wasn't getting it. I went to the local audio store and told them what I was looking for, they recommended the cdx-g1200u. The price was right so I had them install it. WOW what a difference in sound quality compared to the old radio. Even with the stock speakers the sound is amazing!

Great product!

CDX-G1200U / CDX-G1201U 17 July 2018 by Cinder (USA)

Always been a fan of Sony, I have two cars, a 2010 Toyota Corolla and a 2018 Dodge Challenger. Both cars had naturally papery and cheap spund systems for some reason, so I decided to replace.... The Challenger has 6 speakers and a Sub Woofer and all of them I replaced with some of the best Alpine, Infinity, and JBL had to offer... The four speakers in the Corolla were replaced by budget Sony speakers along with a Sony XPLOD Sub, this particular head unit, and two Sony amplifiers (one mono and one 4 channel)...and even a Sony aux cord lmfao My only issue is with the one knob system, but I have a remote for it ao ita okay.... Anyways, As expected, the Corolla has crystal clear sound coming out of it... better than the 6 speakers plus Sub in the Challenger... Which ia a shame. The base is tight and deep and all of the notes and ranges are being hit. Excellent quality. Nothing but the best. Keep doing the audio thing Sony, I have faith it you. -Lifelong Sony fanboy

It's okay

CDX-G1200U 31 March 2018 by EZRedDevil (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified

I'm alright with it but the setting features being on the volume knob was where Sony went wrong because the knob is too sensitive that if your trying to turn down or turn up the volume and bump it or press on it at all it goes into the adjustment features and if you aren't paying attention you'll end up messing up everything from your saved sound to your clock time plus other settings...Fix that Sony! Also troubleshooting is horrible!!

It's good at it's job

CDX-G1200U / CDX-G1201U 14 March 2018 by Mwilcox568 (USA)

Bought it quite awhile ago to replace the factory deck, sounded better after that. Later I wired it up to two amplifiers one powering 4 new Polk door speakers and the other powering 2 Rockford Fosgate 10 inch subs under the rear seat. That left me with very clean and clear sound and healthy, but not booming, bass. It's very good for country, all kinds of rock, and even with hip hop the bass still smacks the back of my head in a pretty good way, just can't hear it outside the truck. About the only thing I don't like is that I can't change colors. I use a Bluetooth adapter plugged into the aux. port and apart from some very minor hiss this setup works pretty good.

Unable to change from RED color

CDX-G1200U / CDX-G1201U 11 October 2017 by jd33 (USA)

The red color on this annoying, like bloody. Unable to turn off or change the color! Just red, dim the brightness, but not completely off.

Not happy with this particular Sony device!

CDX-G1200U / CDX-G1201U 18 September 2017 by Morgine (USA)

I went to a store which sells and installs stereos asking for a simple one to play my iPod and listen to one station on the radio. Nothing fancy. This unit will not play my iPod and it says nothing about that on the box or in the manual. I had to call Sony to find out. The man said it only plays flash drives! I don't like the controls. If you go to adjust the volume and accidentally bump the knob in, you are now adjusting the balance, bass and all those things while driving and not knowing you are! I found the forward and reverse for the CD difficult to find when driving and not looking at it and did not enjoy the six beeps every time I turned it off. While I enjoy most Sony products, this is Not one of them!

Not compatible with Apple products.

CDX-G1200U / CDX-G1201U 14 August 2017 by Jamie2244 (USA)

Why produce a car radio for only Android phones when we live in a world where Apple products are the majority. Ridiculous and a waste of money.

Hi Jamie2244, this CD Receiver may not be the one for you. This unit features AOA (Android Open Accessory) which is geared towards Android devices. We highly recommend checking our MEX line of car stereos which is compatible with iOS, and for you to be able to feel how our car stereos perform. Best regards.

Do not buy if you have an Apple product

CDX-G1200U / CDX-G1201U 22 July 2017 by Waffle817 (USA)

Just bought this radio because of the price and USB support but apparently it's only android friendly. Other than that is just a radio that does it's job.
