CDX-GT640UI

Sony today announced four new Xplod in-dash CD Receivers. Designed to offer drivers a simple and affordable after-market audio experience, the new models combine strong connectivity with high style.

“Consumers continue to look for inexpensive ways to expand their audio options in the car” said Mike Kahn, director of Sony’s mobile electronics business. “With this new line of car stereos, Sony Xplod is building on our reputation for offering great sound and convenient technology, all at an affordable price.”

New for the 2009 fall lineup, each of Sony’s head units features RDS (Radio Data System) technology. While streaming FM radio, this technology transmits all artist, track, and song information (of compatible stations) directly onto the display, allowing users to quickly identify what they are listening to.

Sony’s unique ZAPPIN™, Quick-BrowZer™ and Jump Mode technologies allow for quick navigation through all music libraries, regardless of size.

Additionally, each stereo utilizes DM+ Advanced technology to enhance the sound quality of compressed music files, and is both satellite and HD radio ready (additional accessories required). The CDX-GT640UI offers both blue and green key illumination as well as three preamp sub outputs, where as the CDX-GT540UI offers blue key illumination and two preamp sub outputs.
