Any experience with this HU?? A year a half ago, I purchased a JVC
SX980 which died on me. As such I am back in the market. Back then
Sony was not very reliable and there were a lot of skipping issues.
This unit has xm ready features and a bunch of others. The only thing
it lacks is the ability to play wma (which I dont use. I use mp3)

Has Sony cleared up their issues?? Is this a good head unit??

I am in the $200 range. I also am looking at the Panasonic
CQ-C3300U and Pioneer DEH-P4600Mp.

While I dont use XM yet, the Panny suffers from lack of xm ready
features and I did not really like the display. The Pioneer has
everything except auto scroll but, I did not particularly like the
display and it did not look very durable.

Any comments would be appreciated

Thanks
