The Sony DSX-A415BT car stereo media receiver is a good, budget-friendly alternative to more expensive CD players. This receiver is advertised to output 55 watts per channel, which feels a bit anemic, but will get the job done when paired with more sensitive speakers. It has a good feature set including one-touch NFC Bluetooth pairing, front panel aux input, and front panel USB input, which has a nice sliding cover. The unit is designed to work with Walkman portable music players. The aux input works just fine and will work with anything that has a headphone jack. Using the front panel USB port was a bit of a miss for me, as the Bluetooth connection was all I needed. Pandora works well and is a nice addition to the feature set. Menus on the receiver were easy enough to navigate, although the words on the display felt a little cramped. The blue backlit screen may, or may not match with your instrument panel lights, it wasn't bothersome to me. I was an 80's kid, and CD's are still important to me, if you feel the same, just keep in mind that this unit does not have a disc drive. The units physical size is compact enough to fit just about any application, so this is a huge plus in my book. Overall, this receiver is a great upgrade for older cars, that will give you the connectivity you are looking for. I would also recommend the Sony DSX-A415BT if you are on a budget and looking for a quality receiver.
