Get smart

If your smartphone is your "go to" source for messaging, info, and entertainment, you'll appreciate a car stereo that works with it hand in hand. Sony designed their MEX-N5300BT CD receiver to meet the needs of smartphone owners. Plug into the USB to playback your favorite tracks, or hop on Bluetooth® to listen to your favorite streaming music apps. And best of all, you'll enjoy some cool voice command features, whether you're an iPhone® or Android™ user. Just talk to make phone calls, check text messages, or even access your navigation apps.

Bluetooth on the go

The MEX-N5300BT's built-in Bluetooth adds convenience and capability to your car. You can talk hands-free when you get a call, plus you can stream the music stored on your mobile device wirelessly through the receiver. No fighting over who's paired, either — this Sony supports dual pairing, so you and your significant other can both enjoy the advantages of Bluetooth. Pairing is easy with Sony's Simple Secure Pairing system, and if your phone supports NFC, you can simply touch it to the receiver to pair the device.

The MEX-N5300BT offers customizable display colors.

Sharp styling

Carbon fiber accents frame this Sony's controls, and you can adjust the Dynamic Color Illuminator to set up thousands of color combinations across two separate illumination zones. And when you're getting your groove on, the Sound Synchronization feature pulses the lights to match your music. Details like a nifty sliding USB port cover round out the package.

Stellar audio

Sony's impressive Advanced Sound Engine features a 10-band EQ and frequency filters to make your speaker setup shine. Sony's powerful Digital Reality amp is noted for its solid sound output and realistic audio reproduction. If you're looking to expand your system with external amps, you'll find three sets of preamp outputs.

Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities.

iPod/smartphone note: If you're going to use your iPod or smartphone with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for compatibility information.
