Sony CDX-L350 Car CD Player

Pros: Cheap, Easy to use
Cons: 1 pre-out, needs more functions

Well i will state something first... i have the Australian equivalent of this unit... now that is out of the way!

I bought this unit back in March 2002, so almost a year ago now.

Price: I got this for $350AUS, so around $175US. I...

Pros: easy to use, reads cd-r and cd-rw, nice display
Cons: skips frequently, takes some time to read some cds/tracks, may detach face accidentally

Although my model is CDX-L450, it's basically the same as this one, except that it has a red display.

The first thing you'll notice in this CD player is its plate looking face. Since I painted my dash with silver spray, it matches perfectly...

I purchased Sony’s CDX-L350 for around $150 but the price has gone down since then. I bought it because it falls between the high tech, expensive systems and the cheap, low quality stereos. It has all you need and nothing you don’t. The display is not...

Pros: Price, Remote, Stability

I bought this unit at Circuit City while taking a long trip with only a cassette player n my car. It was a little on the pricey side But I figured for a Sony, whose name I had the impression meant better quality, it would be worth it. As soon as the warranty expired, the display panel began to show inaccurate information. I noticed that if I applied light pressure to the panel, the information would correct itself. I could live with that. A few months later, the ejection problems started. I would have to pull out the needle nosed pliers to retrieve my CDs and a pen to push the reset button. It now happens about every ten ejections, and it's gaining. I keep the pliers and pen handy and don't even bother to set the presets on the radio.
