Strength:

Sound quality for it's age. Clean interface, clear display.

Weakness:

Does not play CD-R/W at all! Though I've been told by the previous owner that it played them, but was picky with the brand of CD-R used.

Old head unit which replaced stock on car. Decent sound/power. Idiot with JVC shouldn't write a review based on other's opinion.

Model Reviewed: Sony CDX-4250

Strength:

The volume knob has never stuck on me, the D-Bass is great, and would be better if i wasnt using crappy Sony XPlod speakers. Overall, all the functions are great on this unit, and it is very easy to use while driving. I also love the little bars that flash across the screen alternating between the clock and the radio station/cd track.

Weakness:

Sony Head Unit + Sony XPlod Speakers = Really Crappy Sound System (And for that guy who said the system turns off when you eject the discs, all you have to do is press source before you eject it, which turns the radio back on, and then when you eject the cd after that, the system will not turn off.)

This is a great unit for the money I paid (only $100).

Model Reviewed: CDX-4250

Strength:

1. Good user interface, very easy to work with. 2. Fading into the radio if switching from CD's so the loudness does not blow your ears away. 3. Removeable faceplate to avoid theft.

Weakness:

1. Extremely sensitive. 2. Impossible to play CD's (Both factory and CD-R's) 3. Very sensitive to weather

I have an old 73 Dodge Power Wagon. A typical full size truck with noise and rattle and stiff suspension. I am 16 and my dad bought this when the factory radio quit. I believe when he purchased it about 5 years ago it worked fine but today it is just horrible. It is VERY sensitive to the following: 1. CD-R's 2. Sudden vibration (ie:potholes, speedbumps etc...) 3. Cold weather, however I am in California so when I get in it in the afternoon, it works quite well The bottom line is though that this is NOT worth the money you pay for it. I have had the same problem with the volume knob not working quite right, and most of the time it will not even begin to read my CD's. If you need a backup temporary radio, or if you can get one cheap to use just as a RADIO ONLY this would be a good choice. However, for CD's this is just garbage.

Strength:

LCD Display

Weakness:

The CD player skipped alot in the cold weather.
Stopped working almost completely after about a year of usage.

After Having the cd player for just over a year, sound stopped coming out of all four speakers. The tuner completely stopped working it was just dead air. When the cd player felt like it a few snippets of sound would come while playing a CD but it was just in spurts of power. Conveniently the warranty had just run out a few months prior?? Coincidence?? I think not with all the similar complaints, this product has something definitely defective about it.

Strength:

Nothing.

Weakness:

Volume knob started slipping about about 3 months.
It skipped lots if the weather was cold.
After 13 months it died. The whole system shuts down after inserting a CD and won't come back unless I leave my car off for 15 minutes.

It's a peice of crap, don't ever buy one. I bought a new Pioneer DEH-7200 last week and it's soooooo sweet. 10X better in every respect.

Strength:

it´s face is cool, and it has a 4 outputs 40W

Weakness:

all inside it, it sucks, i have been using it for 6 months and now it does not recognize any disc, and ejects it. Now i have 2 put a new mechanism to sell it.

$140, no, i wouldn´t recomend it, it sucks, if u see 1 of this don´t buy it, i changed my old alpine CD for this one and i´m very mad 4 what i have done, Alpine costs about $150 more than this one but it´s muchhhhh better.

Strength:

- 2 pre amp outputs
- Good sensitivity
- User friendly

Weakness:

- a little weak in RMS output, thats all

I bought this and had it installed in my '99 Dakota Club Cab. It sounded decent with the factory speakers, but sounded much better when I put in some new Kenwoods. Its an older model now, and better ones can be had for the price I paid (about $180). Go for something newer if you are interested.
