That’s on top of 52 Watts high power through 4 channels, a full-featured CD player, MP3/WMA/AAC playback, AM/FM radio, and a front panel auxiliary input. For further expansion, the CDX-GT930UI is compatible with Sony’s Satellite radio tuner and HD radio tuner. It’s bound to become an indispensable tool in the fight against insanity during rush hour.

Motorized Detachable Faceplate
The CDX-GT930UI features a motorized detachable faceplate with black 13-segment LCD display. Switchable blue, red, or green key illumination makes control in the dark a snap, and lets you pick your style.
45 Degree Install
Most Sony CD receivers feature a 45 degree maximum mounting angle, allowing them to be used in virtually any custom or unusual installation.
Front Panel Aux In
The auxiliary input is built right in to the face of the head unit, so to use external devices like MP3 players, all you need to do is plug-n-play. USB 1-Wire
With the addition of USB 1-wire functionality on select Sony CD receivers, you can easily expand your digital music player’s options in your system. USB 1-wire receivers allow you to connect, charge, and control many digital music players including iPod, iPhone, Walkman music player, and even USB thumb drives directly from the head units, all from one wire.
iPod Direct
By connecting an iPod to the USB port, you can listen to all your favorite iPod tunes on your car speakers. Once connected, the iPod will turn on, and it’ll resume where you last left off. Enjoy full control of the iPod from the CDX-GT930UI, and while the car is on, your iPod will get a charge, so it’ll be ready to go when you’re back on foot.
Selectable red/blue/green key illumination.
Up to four lines of music data on a bright, full-motion fluorescent display.

You also get ID3 tag support–title, artist and album info will be scrolled across the LCD.
Get Zapped with ZAPPIN
While enjoying your iPod, or USB tunes, you can give ZAPPIN a try. Sony’s unique ZAPPIN technology operates similarly to most car stereos’ scan buttons. It continues to play a series of short music clips from your own music library until you can find your favorite song to match your mood.
Ready for SAT and HD Radio
Using separate Sony adapters you can add an HD radio tuner, or add Satellite Radio for a wealth of channels of music, news, talk shows, sports and traffic information with CD quality sound.
AM/FM Radio
Always have your favorite stations at hand with 18 FM and 12 AM presets.
Best Tuning Memory
Setting your radio presets can be a real pain while you’re driving–especially if you’re in an unfamiliar area. So, let the tuner do the work for you by activating the Best Tuning Memory (BTM) function. The tuner will seek out up to 18 of the strongest stations in the area and set them into the tuner presets.
Sound Performer
The CDX-GT930UI features a 24-Bit D/A converter, which oversamples the digital signal, creating a more natural sound and better imaging.
Dial in your sound using Sony’s EQ3 parametric equalization, with 7 presets offering a wide variety of solutions, or make individual Low/Mid/High adjustments.
For more power, use the front, rear and subwoofer preamp outputs for use with external amplification.
Wireless Remote
Included is an ergonomic remote to be used while watching the road.

Going Digital in 2010 With The Car Audio Digital Media Player

Article by Marie Coles

We’ve seen the FM radio, the tape player, the CD player and now – the Digital media player. New for 2010 is the Digital media player which plays solely your digital media – meaning there’s no need for CDs any longer as it includes an Mp3/iPod dock instead of a CD player.

A digital media player is a great gift for those who never leave their iPod behind. In fact, it’s this year’s must have as it not only docks your digital media device, getting rid of the irritating wires that clog up your car, new digital media players also have a number of other useful and exclusive functions.

The most recent release of digital media player is the Sony DSX-S100, a digital media stereo that includes a user friendly menu that allows you to navigate via artist, album etc from your stereo, the Tune Tray that safely stores your iPod from prying eyes and a very useful warning system that tells you that you’ve left your iPod behind after turning the ignition off – you’ll certainly never forget your iPod ever again!

The Sony DSX-S100 is looking to set a new standard for Sony as they begin to transform their range of car audio systems from CD/Mp3 players to the digital media stereo. New technologies integrated could include, the new up and coming Zappin technology which lets you search for tracks by playing a sample of the chorus from each, further allowing your eyes to be on the road rather than on the stereo.

Pioneer are also set to revolutionize the car audio system alongside Sony. They have already released a number of Digital media stereos with extra functions such as Bluetooth, making the newest stereos the leaders in the car audio industry for digital media.

It looks like the car CD player may be a thing of the past to be replaced by the Digital media stereo. So is this really the death of the CD player? Maybe not quite yet as CD players still continue to be quite popular. But with Digital media players taking over and costing no more, it does seem that in a few years we may have to say a final goodbye to the Car CD player.
