Question Xplod CDX-M800

I just finished putting in the order to Crutchfield for the Sony Xplod cdx-m800 cd receiver. Does anyone have/had this unit? Its for my GF for her birthday next week. I'll be installing it with some friends. It looks like a good unit. She has a 94 accord sedan. Thanks.

I've always had good experiences with sony. I just bought my first motorized face. Just wanted to know how other people like the model. I was still going to get it anyways.

i got that head unit.I like it. sounds way better than stock. i mean i know itz not the best thing out there, but it does its job. Like he said, it's unique in it's own way.

My chick loves it, the gurls get a kick outta the little flipping thing that it does, i'm sure ur gurl will like it.

heres a pic of it. this is before i got my silver interior dash. it looks way better with the silver interior dash, but it doesnt look bad at all like this:

As mentioned above sony hu are not the greatest, granted some models look pretty cool. Such as the one above, however I find Clarion and their Pro Audio line to be pretty decent, they do not have the flashy animations though. Just a decent all around headunit.

I think I'm a sony person. I love the look of the sonys. Thanks pLaYa6tNine. I appreate it very much. Its a surprise for her. Her one now is a pos. Doesnt play cd's right. You can just change from track to track, you have to fastforward to get to the next sony. I dont know the brand, but it is a very cheap model.

a guy that works with audio equiptment told me that as a rule, japaneese sound equiptment is not as good as american equitpment. the style may be nice and fance n more high tech, but the sound quality is way better from an american company. like alpine, pioneer, kicker, etc. i dont care i like my sony for what it does for the money. and it beats the stock head unit any day. it also beats a lot of other after market head units out there to, but of course, there are ones that are wayyyyy better.
i want the alpine tv thing. thatz the hottest thing i've ever seen. just to much $$$.
