Mirage S8 Replacement Speaker

From enhanced USB, iPod, and Bluetooth connectivity to improved user control and customization, Sony thought of everything when it comes to the Sony Xplod MEX-BT3700. The MEX-BT3700 features new USB 1-Wire functionality, which provides nearly universal connection and control of USB devices, including iPods, from the front of the Xplod head unit. You also have the option of wirelessly streaming music from a Bluetooth-enabled device using Bluetooth hands-free. This feature works with several Bluetooth profiles and an integrated microphone to turn your car's stereo into a safe, hands-free cell phone and wireless audio system. If you need to minimize road noise or unwanted ambient sound while you're talking, the MEX-BT3700 exclusively works with an optional external microphone (XA-MC10). Whether you're using a CD, an iPod, a Sony Walkman, or even a USB thumb drive, the MEX-BT3700 gives you great sound and loads of easy control options. Quick-BrowZer, Jump Mode, and Zappin functions, along with Passenger Control, give you and your friends convenient access to all your music, including MP3, WMA, and AAC song files². DM+ (Digital Music Plus) detects the encoded bit rate of those song files and applies sound enhancers to help regain some of the warmth and resolution lost during the compression process. And like other BT series head units, the MEX-BT3700 provides a solid foundation for a custom sound system, with three preouts, built-in LPF/HPF (Low Pass Filter/High Pass Filter), and satellite radio and HD Radio support.

Switchable blue or green key illumination makes control in the dark a snap, and lets you pick your style. 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. Features front panel auxiliary input and USB port. Includes RM-X151 wireless remote. 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-GT530UI, 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. USB Support Insert a USB thumb drive in the front panel USB port and enjoy your favorite digital audio files. The CDX-GT530UI gives you the freedom to choose your format. Whether it's burnt to disc or on your USB drive, you'll enjoy playback of MP3, WMA, and AAC formats. 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.

Hahn I got this head unit because I got an iphone 3GS (previous iphone models do not have Bluetooth audio streaming (A2DP)) and wanted something that would give me as many options of integrating it with the car stereo as possible without spending a ton of money. I also didn't want to have to pay extra for the bluetooth attachments that you have to add on to the bluetooth ready head units. -BLUETOOTH AUDIO STREAMING The audio bluetooth streaming is great sound quality is very good (I am not a picky audiophile so can't say if sensitive ears would notice anything wrong with the quality), I actually listen to local radio stations through their internet streams through the iphone then bluetoothed to the car stereo because its better sound quality then what I get out of the tuner (any tuner not just this one, I live in a bad radio reception area between 2 markets). The stereo usually picks up my phone (for both phone and audio) within 30 seconds of turning on the car. I have had to reset the bluetooth (takes about 20 seconds, push one button twice) every few weeks because it will start to get skippy but it is a pretty minor inconvenience. Listening to Pandora through the Iphone to the car stereo is awesome, and has greatly improved my commute. -Bluetooth Phone connection Connects within 30 seconds of starting the car. Sound quality is good. And the microphone that is built in actually works well, this shocked me I was sure I would have to either yell or buy an external mic but the one that comes in the head unit picks up my voice fine I have not had a complaint about people on the other end of the call not being able to hear me. Another good thing about the mic being built in is that it saved me $60 on the installation that they would have charged me to install an external mic. The transition between phone call and what was playing before the call is automatic and fluid. -USB input I have not gotten a chance to use this because the bluetooth has worked well. It would be nice if it had a USB on the back of the unit in addition to the one on the front so that you could run a wire hidden behind the console plastic and have it connect where ever you wanted it to without it cluttering up the car (that is the main reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars). Overall I love this unit because it was fairly cheap and it does exactly what I wanted it to do in respect to integrating with my Iphone. 16 of 16 people found the following review helpful. Had mine for a month now - glad I bought it! By GM I saw this on a shelf in a local Fry's. I had already tried and returned the MEX-BT2700U last year. I had a few minutes to spare so I tried it. Looked and sounded good. When I confirmed that you can use the Bluetooth Phone with the Internal mike, or get an External mike, I bought it on the spot. For $200, I might add. The Bluetooth works well, even with the Internal mike, which is behind the faceplate. I'm still amazed that it works as well as it does. May spend the $30 and get the XA-MC10 External mike when Sony has them in stock. The music sounds great, too. Much better than my 2-year-old CDX-GT630UI. But the best part? Sony added a circuit called DM+. It's for digital music only thru USB, like iPod or my Sansa Clip. It adds quite a bit of punch and re-EQ's things. Sounds way better than thru the AUX port. And you can navigate the music selection on the Sony's faceplate. On iPod, you can let the iPod guide things, but I use the Sony to navigate. For $150, it's a great buy. If I get a new car, I'm buying another one of these quick. 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Outstanding Device By James Shannon Bussey This stereo is outstanding, period. The features that it has plus the ease of use makes this probably the best bluetooth stereo on the market. First of all the blue tooth is fantastic. Within seconds of getting
