From the lack of responses, @caliper, it looks like the others find this model rather unmentionable. The sound that comes out of Sony HUs, in general opinion without prejudice, is OK in Indica taxis, not in the personal use Innovas.
But then, why would you want to replace the existing (decently competent) stock 2DIN HU with something that is worse, only for USB support? Perhaps the manual can give you a clue for extending the stock HU's abilities to accommodate your needs.
If it is only USB stick reading ability that you are looking at, there can be other solutions. OK, other 2DIN solutions don't come cheap, but you can as well look at
- DVD HU like JVC etc., which might have USB support
- Pio / Blaupunkt / JVC / Alpine CD HU with USB support
And then there is always the AUX-IN in most HUs which can do the work decently if you have even the cheapest MP3 player.
Having a DVD player AND a CD player would create other problems for you, e.g. speaker wiring, and would be an overkill solution.
"Without warranty" is an individual preference / judgement, like riding 2 wheelers without helmet.
Avoiding wire cutting depends on whether you get the vehicle side adapater (for Innova) for the HU that you select. I think Blaupunkt has it, and there may be others available readymade. |
