2002 CDX-CA400 Summary:
Trashing Sony? WOW!! I own a LOT of sony products, some of them 10+ years old, and they all work perfectly. Of course, I take excellent care of my possessions.
I bought this cd player in the middle of 2002 for a new car. I had the previous model in my previous car but I didn't have the keys so had to sell it with the car.
Being somewhat of an audiophile, I was itching to get the stock head unit out of my vehicle. But, I wasn't prepared for the difference in sound quality with the 400. For someone who wants loud, clear sound without spending a whole bunch of money, I highly recommend this. But don't expect miracles if you drive a pinto with crappy speakers ;)
Anyway, I now have two 15s coupled with this baby and good god alive, the sound is amazing. Plenty of boom if you want and incredible clarity for something like classical or techno.
Definately pick this baby up if you care alot about your sound. Strengths:
Plays almost anything. I have CDRs that are like 4 years old and really trashed, but they still play.
Colors and general look of it is really eye catching and will match almost any interior.
Comes with a remote!!!
Easy to navigate.
Face is pretty scratch resistent and easy to clean.
Makes some kind of beeping sound when you turn the car off. Not sure what its for but I'm sure it's good.
Reliable as he11. I drift a lot around poles and turns and it never skips a beat. Weaknesses:
Battery life in remote sucks when constantly exposed to weather extremes.
I have to hit the source button before I eject my cd or my power antennae will constantly go up and down.
Replacement remote is expensive unless you do ebay. However, remotes are interchangeable for different models so that is good! Similar Products Used:
JVC. Stopped working after a few months.
