    I have a DEHP70BT, got it a few months ago. It is a nice head unit, I just wouldn't go crazy singing its praises. I've always had Sony head units and loved them and they way they work, usablility ergonomics etc, I think they are best, but they do not have as good reputation with the pro's as Pioneer, Clarion and Alpine. I found past pioneer head untis far too complicated, like a million ways to adjust the sound, overkill in my opinion. The DEHP70BT is actually pretty straigh forward in that area thankfully

    The bluetooth thing is quite cool, but when I am on to people they always say that I sound miles away and can't hear me properly.... Maybe that is just the way I have it set up.. I stopped using the bluetooth after a while.

    The jog wheel is used for everything, and although firm to touch, it is a little sensitive - instead of going into a funtion, sometiems if you do not press it dead centre, it will skip track instead - very annoying when you are half way though an hour long mp3. The most annoying thing is that fast forwarding is pointless. It is 2x or 3x at best, hopeless for trying to get 20 or 30 mins into a track. The sony's accelerate the longer you hold them.

    The remote is ok, pretty basic, but the range is ****e and only works when the wheel is horizontal, not when it is turned more than a few degrees. The sony remote on my last one was brilliant - credit card sized, even worked from outside the car with the doors and windows closed.

    Mine currently has a fault in it - see http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2054879272
    Probably partly my fault from bad wiring, but still...

    Overall, yes it is a good head unit but by no means the best out there. It definitey looks cool, I just exopected perfection when getting their flagship model and paying that much money.

    Let me know how you get on.
