Do you want to buy Sony CDXM10 Marine CD Receiver Slot Great radio for a motorcycleBy PatrickHenryPDXAfter many years of good service, the JVC cd player I installed in my Harley-Davidson Electra Glide died. I chose this Sony unit as a replacement primarily in the hopes that it would have some additional weatherproofing relative to the JVC. Overall, I'm very pleased with the Sony, although the face of the unit does not appear to be any more weatherproof than a non-marine stereo.This unit has a 1/8" input on the front to run an iPod or other mp3 player into, and will play a CD loaded with mp3's too. The 1/8" input has a user-adjustable gain setting, which lets you match the Sony to the volume level output by the iPod/mp3 player.It seems to produce good volume. I can't attest to the sound quality, because there is no such thing as quality sound when the bike is running, given the high ambient noise level from the bike, wind noise, etc. Nonetheless, the sound can be cranked up pretty well without distorting.One thing that people may be interested in is that this Sony unit plays nice with polarized sunglasses. That is, you can still read the display if you're wearing polarized sunglasses. Many liquid crystal displays (LCD's) are almost impossible to read when wearing polarized sunglasses, so this is a nice feature that was included by Sony.See all 13 customer reviews... » More Information about Sony CDXM10 Marine CD Receiver Slot.Thursday, June 30, 2011
