I am selling my Sony Head unit that i bought only a matter of month back because my car is getting a full new sound system installed and im heading in a different direction. The Stereo will come with a remote, no box or instructions (althought its simple enough to work). The HU is fantastic and this is the second HU i have had in this series and i have been more than impressed with them. I think it was richmicratwista who bought the last one from me and i think he is impressed with his too. The model is Sony CDX-M8800 and its a stylish and very reliable head unit.

The features:

FULL DESCRIPTION

Manufacturer's Description
The CDX-M8800 has a large, full-motion display with high-resolution graphics, in fact there are only two buttons on the faceplate one for power and one to open the face! Pressing the second button opens the Active Black Panel to reveal a full control panel and smaller display on the inside. With the ABP closed, you control the receiver with the full-function remote. When you turn off the ignition, the receiver enters stealth mode, making the display and buttons disappear. Use the EQ7 to adjust the sound: do it quickly with the preset sound curves, or with more detailed tuning via the 7-band equalizer. If your front speakers are low in the doors, Dynamic Soundstage Organizer helps by shifting the soundstage to a higher point in the car, giving your music a richer sound. When it comes to adding external amplifiers, you get three sets of 4 volt preamp outputs for flexibility in system design. The front & rear amplifier outputs feature a high pass filter to prevent distortion and the sub ouputs have a low pass filter for optimum subwoofer performance. (The face is NOT removable for this stereo, however, it has a Security CODE feature, which must be used to power-up the stereo) Tech Spec: * Security CODE - Anti-theft solution with a 4 digit, owner-defined code that must be entered to set up the head unit every time it's been disconnected from the car battery. * Active Black Panel faceplate * Blue and white fluorescent display * Red button lighting * Spectrum analyser display * Plays MP3 files with ID3 Tag Dispplay * Plays CD-Rs and CD-RWs * SSIR-EXA tuner * 18 FM/12 AM presets * Seek tuning * BBE MP improves the sound of your compressed music * Dynamic Soundstage Organizer * EQ7 (7-band equalizer and 7 preset tone curves) * CD changer controls * Rear auxiliary input (when not using a CD changer) * 4-volt front, rear and subwoofer preamp outputs * High-pass and low-pass filters * Clock * Wireless remote * 52 peak x 4 channels
