Sony’s Top Car Stereos

Sony today announced four Xplod in-dash CD receivers. These new car stereos give drivers more solutions for playing their burned CDs or music from their MP3 players in their vehicles.

“Our head units offer easy connectivity throughout the lineup, starting with our $80 entry model,” said Brennan Mullin, general manager of Sony Electronics’ mobile electronics division. “We’ve enjoyed top-selling model distinction and we’re continuing the momentum originally begun with our GT series. The latest models are successors to these hit head units.”

Each new unit features an auxiliary input (aux-in) on the faceplate, making it possible to use portable music players in a vehicle with a standard 1/8-inch mini jack cord (not supplied).

Among the new models, Sony CDX-GT110 CD receiver features aux-in and a detachable faceplate with a blue 13-segment LED display.

Sony CDX-GT210 unit offers MP3 and non-DRM WMA playback support and higher power output.
