Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Sony MEX-BT4000P by Ken Nail Why replace your factory radio? Two good reasons - sound quality and cool features. A new car stereo offers power that's superior to most factory radios, along with more sophisticated tone controls. And most car stereos offer built-in or optional features that add safety and fun to life in your car, including inputs for your iPod or MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free cell phone calls, satellite radio or HD Radio reception, and connections for building an audio system in your car. Built-in Bluetooth Sony's MEX-BT4000P CD receiver employs Bluetooth® technology that gives you hands-free calls in your car with your compatible phone. You'll hear your callers through your car's speakers, and answer just like they're sitting next to you. The result? You'll drive more safely with your hands on the wheel and your phone stashed away. Plus, if you've got a smartphone or other device with Bluetooth, you can stream your music to the receiver without having to plug in. Front USB input The front-panel USB input features Sony's 1-wire connection® — plug in your player and enjoy convenient control of the music on your iPod® or iPhone®. Sony's search tools whip through your files to find the tunes you want quickly and easily. You'll find Jump Mode particularly handy if you've got a large music library, as it allows you to jump through your playlist in 10% increments. Pandora® You'll be able to cruise to your favorite Pandora® Internet radio stations too. With your iPhone, Android, or Blackberry phone, you can browse through your favorite stations and rate songs from the receiver's controls. Soundshaping tools If you're into tweaking your sound, you'll find a host of tools in Sony's Advanced Sound Engine. You can adjust the overall tone with the EQ7 7-band equalizer, then use tools like Listener Position calibration, Dynamic Loudness, and Rear Bass Enhancer to customize your listening experience to your own tastes. And speaking of customization, you can choose from wide selection of colors for the display on this Sony. More listening options You can add a SiriusXM satellite radio tuner to enjoy programming variety and commercial-free music. Use the handy front-panel auxiliary input to connect a portable satellite radio, MP3 player, or another audio source. Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls?

Love the way this stereo works. Great to have Pandora streaming and map instructions on my Android working seamlessly...and still be able to take a phone call. Very good controls...do wish it had a CD button and a RADIO button, but hey. Very good. Several years ago I bought a JVC for my wife...controls on that drive me crazy to this day. Sony was a great choice...moving it to my new car! Was this review helpful?

Awesome! Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Excellent Stereo Written By Jensen K., Washington, VA on Monday, December 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I drive 600 miles a week , and the reason I bought a new stereo was to be able to listen to my iPhone and ipod throught the car stereo. It has Bluetooth usb and audio input. It works great! I love using Bluetooth with the iphone. What really makes me the happiest however is the Bluetooth phone connection. It is seamless. I tlak on the phone alot when I am on the road and used my earbods. The phone fidelity and mic are great. I can set up one touch dialing, and if I am on the phone when I get into the car, it automatically switches to the Sony. When I plug in my earbuds before turning the car off, it automatically switches back. I also use XM radio and it works great with the optional XM receiver. I have used this stero for a month, so I can't tell you how durable it is, but so far I am a very haooy driver!! Was this review helpful?

Written By cgerald1, Nashua, NH on Sunday, December 09, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Overall, you can't beat the value this unit offers. Its packed with features including Bluetooth, Sat Radio, SWC capable and the list goes on and on. Many units costing twice this much don't come with these features. My wife wanted all these features in her new car. I got her a new stereo for Christmas and this unit saved me a lot of cash!! Pros: Tons of feature at very reasonable price. Cons: The SWC connector isn't very secure. When you plug in the 1/8 jack make sure its in all the way and tape it up so it doesn't fall out. Was this review helpful?

Written By Biker Jeff, Benton City, WA on Saturday, December 01, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Got this for the wife as an early christmas present. She loves it. Installation was straight forward. Sound quality is excellent. Is not compatable with OEM sirriusXM radio, so be sure and order an aftermarket receiver for that if you are expecting to keep that feature. Pros: Set up was easy, including the Bluetooth sync with her phone. Display color choices are really cool. Cons: Did not work with OEM sirriusXM radio, had to go out to a big-box electronics store to get an aftermarket tuner. AM radio receiver doesn't work well with OEM in-the-back-window antenna. Works fine with an aftermarket one. Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 So far so good, all the features I wanted Written By AD, Exton, PA on Sunday, November 25, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit replaced the stock CD/tuner in the family van (2005 Honda). Only installed a week ago, but so far so good. Crutchfield provided all required parts, tools, harnesses, instructions. Installation was easy. The only minor hitch was that I had to call tech help to confirm harness wiring (which wires get capped off). But the tech help was knowledgeable and things were sorted out quickly. Blue tooth audio, phone, and Pandora works great from my HTC Rezound. No issues. Pros: All the features you need (USB, coaxial, bluetooth, Pandora). Fits well. Call me old school, but I like having a knob to turn for volume control. Cons: I prefer a simpler, more classic look. It's a bit out of place in a minivan, but it was relatively inexpensive and gets the job done. 3 stars for coolness from me. Most 16 year olds would probably give it a 5. Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Options! Written By FlameJet, Kansas on Friday, November 23, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) With the full color spectrum, it is easy to match the deck to the rest of your interior lights, which is always a bonus. or, you can create your own color (yes, you can tweek the colors and create your own, they have some presets like 'Sunset', which is an orange/amber color). The Bluetooth pairing system works great with my Droid3, hands free calls. the EQ has 7 settings, and a separate Sub volume control, which i love the most. When i wanna listen to a bass-heavy song, i crank up the sub volume, if i want to listen to some Rock/Metal, i turn it down. I drive a truck, with 1200 watts of stereo crammed into a standard cab. Driving over railroad tracks with Bass way up, it has never skipped. Pros: -Customizeable colors -Bluetooth for Handsfree / Pandora (who needs XM with pandora?) -7chan EQ + Sub Volume Cons: So many options it can be a little overwhelming at first setup, but with time, you can get your perfect sound/light setup.

Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 4 out of 5 Excellent head unit with minor drawbacks Written By Semvhu, Cullman, AL on Tuesday, November 13, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this head unit to replace the stock unit in my 2005 Honda Civic LX sedan. It works just fine in my car and looks good installed (Crutchfield's excellent freebies helped with that). Value: The head unit was a good price for what I was looking for, though a little more than I wanted to spend; ultimately its value is equal to that of others I considered. Sound Quality: It sounds great from every source I've tried; Bluetooth calls are clear, radio reception is excellent, USB with my iPhone tunes or Pandora sounds great, etc. I'm even using my stock speakers for now and it sounds just fine. Ease of Use: Swapping between modes is easy with just pressing a single button to swap around. If you want to listen to your Apple device, just plug it in and it starts playing where you left off; occasionally it has forgotten where it was at on audio books, but I chalk that up to my iPhone instead of the head unit. Pandora use works great. Pair your phone via Bluetooth and you can make voice-activated calls with a press of a couple of buttons. Setting radio stations and changing them is a breeze, though the radio buttons are a bit small for my big fat American fingers. Coolness Factor: The radio does look great and the ever changing light colors are slick. The color changes can be disabled if you don't care for it. Build Quality: Typically well built Sony product. My biggest gripe is here as the radio is tough to see in daylight. It's glossy and not as bright as it could be. Pros: Excellent head unit and I'd recommend it to anyone that wants built-in iPhone controls, Bluetooth, Pandora, and the works. Cons: The glossy screen makes it tough for me to see in daylight. If it wasn't quite so reflective and the screen was more brightly lit, it would be easy to see. It's just fine at night, though, even with the illumination function working (it dims when you turn your headlights on). 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Excellent service Crutchfield, as usual. Had a question before ordering and it was promptly answered by a chat advisor online. Ordered the radio Friday and it shipped the same day, free. Got it Monday. Had everything needed to install in a 2001 Jeep Wrangler. All instructions were exact. I wanted to have one thing clarified and called an advisor. He knew the answer off the top of his head. Total install time start to finish 2 hours. As for the radio, excellent product for the money. Wanted an inexpensive (relatively) BT radio with XM. Sound quality is great on the Phone. Typical Sony, a little complicated menu, but that is easily overcome. Too many "features". Crutchfield always comes through. Thanks. Pros: Everything needed to install. SImple, easy to use instructions. Great value radio with great phone clarity. Cons: Little complicated menu. Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Solid Quality Product Written By Stephanie B., San Diego, CA on Monday, November 05, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've had this product for about a month now. Everything works perfectly. I have had two previous decks (not Sony) with Bluetooth that would glitch from time to time or have trouble pairing. This product pairs smoothly to my phone every time and it hasn't glitched once. The only complaint I have is I wish it would store my phone as the primary phone to automatically pair with every time I get in - BUT it automatically pairs with the phone it was most recently paired with. (e.g. So if my husband's phone was the last phone to be paired to the Bluetooth, the next time I get in my car I have to manually pair my phone to connect to Bluetooth.) It would only become an issue if we actually shared the car on a daily basis, but I just wanted to through it out there in case someone looking at this deck does share a vehicle. Over-all I am very happy with this deck and would recommend it! Pros: Everything works smoothly, no glitches with Bluetooth & it's easy to program and navigate through the controls. Cons: It doesn't store a primary device to automatically pair the Bluetooth. When my phone was not the last device to be paired with the deck, I have to manually connect it - even if it's the only device in the car that can be paired. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Written By Jimbo 2002 chevy silverado crewcab, Ca. on Monday, October 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great radio for the price, easy install with wiring harness, antenna adaptor, and radio adaptor that Crutchfield supplied. Bluetooth works great!! Pros: 30 min. to install radio, sounds great Bluetooth works great Cons: Takes a little of time to learn all the controls, but nothing major. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Just received this and installed last month. Easy installation with Crutchfield support material. I really like that they included everything you need to install the unit. I will definitely consider Crutchfield on future purchases. Pros: Nice radio. Ease of installation. Great sound. Cons: None at this time. Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 4 out of 5 Happy with MEX-BT4000P Written By Dennist, Aurora, OR on Friday, October 19, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I needed to replace factory unit as it had died. this unit meets all the needs I have and more. As mentioned in other posts the user interface is rather frustrating at first. However once you get the hang of it, it is not too bad. Another reason I like this is that I was able to setup hands free phone support for my Android via blue tooth. Works very well, in addition Pandora is also a nice plus. Pros: Very good sound on factory speakers, display easy to read, may good features for the price Cons: Instructions for install not real clear, user interface a bit of a learning curve.

Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 4 out of 5 Happy with this product Written By Harley, Hartford, CT on Wednesday, September 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this receiver mainly because I wanted to add Bluetooth capability to my car...the Bluetooth works great, I love the Pandora support with the ability to control your stations right from the head unit, I rarely listen to the old FM radio anymore. Very happy with the sound quality; I have 6 speakers and 4 tweeters being powered by this stereo without a problem, also have 2 12" kickers in the back which are powered by a separate amp. Overall very happy with this product, just wish it was a tad bit easier to operate and had HD Radio, but a great and fairly cost effective, especially if you are looking to add Bluetooth media streaming and hands-free calling Pros: Bluetooth capability, sound quality, display Cons: A little difficult to figure out, no HD radio 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 3 out of 5 The Physical Layout Written By Chex, Los Angeles, CA on Sunday, September 23, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this unit primarily for three reasons: 1. I wanted a unit to play back from my Android device via Blue Tooth 2. I wanted a unit with more than a 3-band EQ 3. I wanted a unit with numerical buttons to easily select a radio station Using my Samsung s3 with the Blue Tooth connection works perfectly. I am able to skip tracks, fast forward, pause, etc without touching the phone. Incoming calls are a breeze to answer, it displays the contact information, and pairing it up was simple. The EQ on the device is great in terms of sound and poor in terms of user interface. If you need to change the EQ, you're going to need to pull over and do it, the menu is buried within other menus. A graphical band EQ would have been a great feature. The numerical buttons work great for selecting a radio station, but not so great for other functions such as selecting pause. The buttons are freaking tiny and really close together. You're bound to accidentally press the wrong button. The number 6 pauses a track, and the number 5 is for a ZAP feature for CDs, I have pressed 5 instead of 6 so many times already and the ZAP feature is used to skip songs... very annoying. This was the only radio that didn't have a large touch screen that met my criteria. It is an okay radio. Not great, not too bad. If you don't need a radio with numeric buttons, consider another one. Pros: Easy to use Blue Tooth feature. Works great with m Samsung s3 Andriod device. Cool colors. Cons: The physical layout of the device is counter intuitive. For example: the pause button is the button labeled with a "6" which is a small button that also happens to be next to a "ZAP" button designed to skip through songs in a CD.... several times already I have hit ZAP instead of Pause. You cannot see the display at all in direct sunlight. 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

This Sony radio is what my car has been missing! The sound is great, and the adjustable display looks cool. Easy to read display helps. Pros: Adjustable multi-color display. Awesome sound. Cons: Just a bit difficult to use. It takes some "getting used to". Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Great with Android phone Written By awg, Oceanside, CA on Tuesday, September 11, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I needed a stereo that worked well with Bluetooth, and my Samsung Galaxy S3. Crutchfield recommended this Sony because it plays well with the Android operating system. No more wires! I get into my car, hit play on google play music, and i'm ready for the road. Voice call ring through, and i've heard the voice quality on the other end is great. This is exactly what i was looking for. In case anybody was wondering, my mp3's sound great streaming through this Sony unit, i can't even tell this difference compared to running it through an Aux cable. Crutchfield walked me through some of the install which was pretty ease. My only gripe with this unit would be that the faceplate sits really deep in the dash making it difficult to remove, and put back in. Pros: Great Bluetooth phone, and streaming! Great sound Cons: Not a perfect fit for the face plate. It looks great, just tough to remove. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Got it installed last week and have been working on the setup. The tuner is a much better than the original OEM tuner. The I Pod controls are easy enough, as is the Bluetooth. The unit sounds great with the OEM speakers. Overall, I am very satisfied with the unit. Pros: Tuner, sound and once set up, controls are just as easy as the OEM unit. Cons: Set up learning curve.

I am by no means a audio expert - but I find that the stereo looks and sounds very nice. The positive reviews that I read here were accurate - I am happy with the purchase. Pros: Great set of features. The Bluetooth works very well with my iPhone The USB connection charges my devices Cons: None related to the stereo that I've come across yet.......but the enclosure that was recommended isn't quite what I had hoped for. It's adequate and fit the car fine, but I don't care for how far recessed the stereo ends up being in the enclosure. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Sony Written By Brian, Florida on Tuesday, August 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit replaced my factory unit in my Jeep Wrangler. I had no problems installing it and it fit perfectly using the supplied install kit. The unit is relatively easy to use and has a good display. The screen is easy on the eyes and not too complex. I was able to match the color to the same as my gauges. The supplied microphone works well and I have it installed on my visor, which initially concerned me since I have a soft top and thought there would be too much wind noise. The Bluetooth streaming abilities work great with no problems streaming music from my phone. I would recommend this unit highly. Pros: Price point Ease of installation Full of functions to fine tune the sound Cons: None so far 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Great Receiver, excellent value Written By LT, Jacksonville, FL on Tuesday, August 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased this receiver and one set of speakers to replace the factory CD changer that finally broke after 9 years. Upon urging of my technology-savy daughter to get the latest technology, I splurged on bluetooth connectivity, Pandora, and Sirius ready capabilites. The unit was fairly easy to install - we had some trouble with replacing the front speakers, but a quick call to Crutchfield - on a Sunday mind you!! - made it easy to figure out. If we had bought this unit elsewhere with no customer support, we would have spent many extra hours needlessly with the install - good job Crutchfield. We installed the microphone on the bottom edge of the rear view mirror and ran the wire around the edges of the windshield so that you cannot see the wires at all. The microphone works great - others can hear me quite well in noisy conditions. The included adapter trim made the unit fit seamlessly into my Jeep Liberty. My iPhone paired up via Bluetooth very easily and stays connected. Making calls and listening to the iPhone music is now a breeze. I like having the pre-set radio buttons for the few radio stations I do listen to; the buttons also double as pre-set phone numbers for easy dialing. The receiver has lots of capabilites and definitely requires you read the manual to figure them out. While not particularly intuitive, once you check the manual, it is farily easy to remember specific functions. Pros: Easy bluetooth connectivity. Hard-wired microphone works very well and is easy to install. Excellent support from Crutchfield both in choosing a system and during installation. Cons: None so far. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Easy install. Great sound. Honestly can say that I was very satisfied with radio. I installed it myself and I did have to call for help from Crutchfield but they were very helpful and really seem to know the products. I was impressed by how quickly they could help resolve the one wire that was not connected. Hats off to the tech group. I can also report that this radio sounds vastly better than the OEM Subaru radio that it replaced. I haven't had a chance to set up the bluetooth but I assume that will be good too. Pros: great sound nice remote control Cons: display is different from OEM so it has to tried to find your way around 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

All good. Love bluetooth. Has front, rear and sub preamp outputs. Nice large volume knob. Front goes off and on easily. The reason I'm writing this is because I couldn't tell from the pictures that the plastic over the display is convex, not flat. In my application, the stereo is overhead and light from the passenger window reflects on the convex plastic and makes it hard to read the display. At night there's no problem. I wish I'd known about the clear plastic cover being this way, in my application it is a disadvantage. Pros: Everything works as advertised. Oh, and I like how it has three bands of FM and two of AM to store your stations. Cons: Just the clear plastic over the display. That's the reason for one star off. My previous stereo was flat over the display and didn't have this problem. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I replaced the stock Bose unit in my car with this one. The sound was definitely better due to the additional adjsutments that could be made over tha basic "bass/treble" adjsutments. The bluetooth works great with my iPhone when making calls. No more untangling my headset wires to plug in to my phone to make a call. The USB/aux input are a great addition. Pros: Great sound. Bluetooth works flawlessly. Cons: The display doesnt get bright enough - hard to see during the day when its bright inside the car. The stock clock and a/c indicators remain very visible in the car during the day, but the illumination on the stereo are hard to see. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Written By Anonymous, Woodbridge, VA on Thursday, August 09, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This receiver has everything I wanted in a car stereo. The install was quick, and the initial setup was easy. I did have to perform the Bluetooth init to get the radio to see my phone. After that, it saw the phone, but it still hasn't updated the phone book. There are some options that do not show up on the unit when you follow the instructions, and they loose one star for that. They also loose a star for the readability in bright sunlight. Pros: Bluetooth, Ipod and aux ports, and the Sirius ready port.

I wish I hadn't waited so long to upgrade the HU in my 96 explorer. I had no idea i could get so many features so cheaply. I think my friends who have been patching together mini-upgrades - like an Aux jack, or a seperate BT device - will be yanking their stock units for a new in dash solution.The free add-ons like the trim kit and wiring harnesses made this easy as pie. One call to CF tech support got me through a wiring question. Don't buy a new car to get the smartphone connections you're looking for - just upgrade the deck. Added bonus is that it can do a full charge on my ipad through the USB jack - something that doesn't work through the cigar lighter jack. Pros: Functionality, features, easy install, ease of use Cons: Tiny buttons can be tough for my sausage-like fingers. Sony still needs to take a design lesson from apple and simplify their interface. iPod does almost everything that this does with 2 buttons and a volume rocker. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I had the Sony MEX-BT5000 prior to this, and sold it with my Tahoe when I got rid of it. With my new vechicle I thought - hey - that thing was good - I'll get something like it in that same product line. That was my first mistake. My second mistake was not doing my homework because it seems as if I didn't spend enough money, or my expectations were too high. It is astonishing to me how low tech this thing feels, compared to a product 5 years older than itself. The display is the kind that you might find on an old crappy printer. There is just no reason why the display couldn't be improved. I wanted to have a nice clean wiring job done with this project. But this thing has no rear aux input, so now I have a spaghetti array of garbage coming out of the front of my car. The worst part about a project like this is it is so much work to disassemble the dashboard innards of your car. Once the head unit is in, and you hate it, it is too late. I bough this thing, and I hate it. The USB port is almost useless because it doesn't charge. Pandora integration is weak. In fact I can't fathom why anyone would buy a head unit with supposed Pandora integration. I don't use Pandora, so I have to scroll past that stupid thing twice (Pandora BT and Pandora USB) every time I change inputs. Also, Pandora USB just simply does not work on my modern, updated phone (Motorola Droid X2 on Verizon). Constantly knocking the faceplate off because it is on a feather trigger and is next to the volume knob. Pros: Aux input in front works. Bluetooth integration (Android phone) is working. Subwoofer out works. Sound is good. Cons: Almost everything but the sound quality is a con. Who cares if it sounds good if it is a royal nightmare to use? The display is terrible at least 10 years behind its time (but I can change the color? who cares!?). The user interface is terrible - hard to understand and navigate with the huge, touchy volume knob Wiring diagram from Sony was not accurate. Unit disconnects from Bluetooth source occasionally and I have to shut the car off to get it to re-mount Shotty, plastic feel, breakable Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Really nice, great value. Written By Dave, Columbia, MO on Monday, July 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Overall this deck is a very good value and has a LOT of flexibility and function. I love the look and color options. The sound is really good with all stock speakers (2003 VW Jetta). The unit was fairly easy to install and presentd no real issues. There was a plastic bracket behind the original deck that needed to be cut out. It took a while since the plastic was very strong and there's not much room in there but I was prepared by support sinc they told me it was there. I was able to connect (bluetooth) my droid initially wih no issues at all. Subsequent bluetooth connections were hit or miss with no rhyme or reason. My wife's iPhone worked better with Bluetooth than the droid on reconnects. A few times the iPhone was connected via Bluetooth for phone functions but not for audio. The only fix seems to be to disable / re-enable BT and also shutting off / removing & reattaching the face. Not a big deal but a pain and rough if you're driving at the same time. Overall I really like this deck and would buy it again. It has lots of connection options (aux, BT and front USB). It sounds great and was easy to install. The only issues are the BT connection issues mentioned above which could be the device or the deck so who knows... Pros: See above. Cons: See above. Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Awesome HU Written By DougH, Saltillo, MS. on Sunday, July 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit has been in my vehicle for about a week and gives what is advertised and much more! All the EQ options are great. This unit makes my factory speakers sound like different speakers. The sound is unreal, they just can't handle the low frequencies the HU puts out! The rear bass enhancer feature definitely makes a difference in the sound. The average individual if they have decent speakers in the rear may get all the lows they want in their sound! Again, with the 7 band EQ you get some punchy bass. The unit gives good clarity to the acoustical mixes and good definition to the kick drum and bass in any style of music! I listen to all types of music from contemporary Christian, jazz, southern rock/rock, blues/r&b and country. It all sounds great! You will not be dissatisfied if you purchase this unit. Also, I need to mention that I have an Android phone and it works seamlessly with all the Bluetooth functions this HU offers! Phone calls, BT audio and Pandora. Friends tell me that they can not tell that I am talking hands free! And by the way the colors are cool and you can set them to one color, random or just white! Ease of use is in the eyes of the beholder, with all these features you must expect traversing the menu is going to take just a little more effort! The only thing that is going to make me happier with this unit is when my Polk Audio DXi5250's and DXi525's, Alpine 10" sub and Sound Ordance amps get installed in my 2001 Ford Ranger XLT SuperCab pickup! Pros: Everything! Cons: None! Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value

Medford electric car show
An outdoor electric car show takes place today featuring the Nissan Leaf and the Chevrolet Volt at the Rogue Federal Credit Union. This show comes after news earlier this year of expansion of use of an electric car for the maintenance department to be used daily on the Southern Oregon University campus in Ashland. Just yesterday development of an "Electric Avenue" in Portland was announced where seven charging stations from six different manufacturer's have been installed at Portland Statue University. It's part of a two-year study to find out which charging stations are most popular and to find out what those charging their cars do during the time the charge is taking place.

Well I got my new 2010 Firecat TR-1 at the beginning of Dec. I was stoked about it, got a great deal and the bow looked great. Well before I got to fire a shot I noticed a major fray on the string near the idler wheel.(I had pulled it back a few times to measure arrows, line up sights etc.) I then noticed that the idler wheel had a real sharp edge and was very rough with no round edge.
I was pissed, big high to big low. Oh well I called Martin and got a RA# and sent the bow back. Took awhile shipping, customs, Xmas etc. but I finally got the bow back and am really happy. Martin upgraded the string to the new green and black one on the 2011 bows. They also put on a new idler wheel. So that eased the pain of being bowless for awhile. Thanks Martin. Cheers Roscoe

Primitive Mood
Ode For Orville And Wilbur Wright
I don't yearn for their steep excursion
Into fame and fortune, for it had
The usual price, and Orville died bitter
And Wilbur died young. I envy them
Only the slender and empty distance they left
Between them and a seaside's grassy bluffs
In mild December, the frail ingenuity
Of dreams, a lifetime's hopes made of string and cloth
And a little puttering motor that might have run
A lawn mower if the brothers had put their minds
To one first. For dumb exhilaration, nothing --
Not an F-16 thundering from its base
In Turkey nor my redeye circling O'Hare --
Comes close to what they must have felt
For less than a shaking, clattering minute
Clearing all attachment to the world
Of dickering and petty concerns: for some
No other heaven. So I take note of them
As they took notes from the lonely buzzard, obsessed
To the point of love with the ghostly air
And the small fluttering things that wandered
Through it. Eccentric but never flighty,
Bookish but not above nicking their hands
In bicycle shops and basements, they lived
With their sister and tinkered with the future.
Propelled by ambition, the mandate
It invents, they still heeded the laws
Of nature, trimmed needless weight, saw everything
Even themselves as burden, determined
Not to crash and burn. Sheer will launched them,
Good will, because those first forty yards
Skimming shale and reeds were for everyone.
Face down between the struts, staring at the ground
As it blurred past, they failed like anyone
To grasp the implications. But legs flailing
They hung on, buoyed by never and almost
And then just barely. I could do worse
Than their brief rapture, their common sense
Of purpose. Or I could, if only
For a moment, exalt them, go along
With the jury-rigged myth, the quaint
Contrivance that lets them rise above it all.

Taylor Walsh, PhD candidate, Department of History of Art and Architecture, Harvard University
Focusing on a variety of works from the Art Museums' contemporary holdings, this talk will chart the treatment of the body in the postwar period, in which the human figure has remained a persistent if uncanny presence. From the limbs-cum-piping of Robert Gober's sink to the ominous damage represented in Doris Salcedo's chair, the body is pictured in the act of disappearing, figured as proxy, as part-object, as vestige, as trace.
Free with price of admission. Admission is free for MA residents on Saturdays before noon.
Gallery talks are informal and include discussion. Limited to 25 participants; please arrive early.

Faculty members partner with local teachers to help students learning English as second language
November 28, 2011
DEARBORN / Nov. 28, 2011---More than 18,000 students consider Dearborn Public Schools their home away from home.
Monday through Friday, students often are studying in the classroom or playing sports on the field. But about 40 percent of those students arent proficient when it comes to understanding the English language. That language gap often poses a problem in the classroom.
UM-Dearborn works to erase that gap. Martha Adler, along with fellow UM-Dearborn faculty members, continues to work with Dearborn Public Schools teachers in an effort to help develop their awareness of the relevance of language to specific disciplines.
Dearborn has one of the highest populations of English language-learners in Michigan, said Adler, associate professor of education. Many of the problems students have when they hit concept areas is the language, not necessarily the concepts. We have kids who can barely speak English, but are great at geometry.
Adler encourages Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP), a research-based model that helps teachers plan and deliver lessons that allow English learners to acquire the necessary knowledge as they develop English language proficiency.
Matt Schleif, a social studies teacher at Edsel Ford High School, said working with UM-Dearborn faculty members has helped him decipher which teaching methods most benefited his students learning English as a second language.
As a graduate from both the Dearborn Public Schools and UM-Dearborn, I love being involved in this effort that is benefiting not only the students in our classrooms, but also supporting and educating our educators here in Dearborn, Schleif said. I was part of the initial group of teachers five years ago that started the program and I am asked every year whether or not I have the time to continue to participate. Without hesitation, I have always said absolutely yes.
And its not only the teachers who are applauding UM-Dearborns collaborative efforts. Fordson High School already is seeing a positive impact, said Principal Youssef Mosallam.
Working with Martha and the University has been a phenomenal experience, Mosallam said. The team work and collaboration with Martha has really focused on developing teachers that can reach out and help students. If we want to continue developing great teachers and having our students continuously excel, we need to continue dialogue and collaboration between the Universitys educational programs and the school districts.
Founded in 1959 with a gift of just over 200 acres of land and $6.5 million from the Ford Motor Company, University of Michigan-Dearborn is a metropolitan university serving southeastern Michigan, committed to excellence rooted in strong academics, innovative research and programming and civic engagement. The University has nearly 8,900 students pursuing more than 100 bachelor's, masters, doctoral and professional degrees in liberal arts and sciences, engineering, business and education. A top-ranked university with a faculty devoted to teaching, and students committed to achievement, UM-Dearborn has been shaped by its history of partnering with local leaders and communities, and is committed to finding solutions for the challenges that face the region.

As millions of gardeners prepare for spring planting, a new study underwritten by The Nature Conservancy warns that imported nursery stock poses an increasing threat to the environment.
Exotic pests are nothing new. The hemlock wooly adelgid, which has turned woods from green to brown from the Poconos to the Great Smoky Mountains, arrived 70 years ago on a single hemlock a Virginia landowner imported for his Japanese-style garden.
But while federal agriculture officials struggle with adelgid and other established pests, emerging threats, like the citrus longhorned beetle, a wood-boring native of Asia, are presenting new headaches.
So destructive is the beetle that bans on an array of popular plants grown in Europe, including cherry trees, rhododendrons, and even cut roses from the Netherlands, are under consideration by federal officials, said Faith Campbell, a senior policy representative for the conservancy.
Europe is just one part of the $500 million international plant exporting business that has producers from Colombia to China sending more than three billion plants to the United States each year. Such foreign imports could be responsible for as much as 70 percent of the most damaging non-native insects and diseases afflicting American forests today, according to the study, which was conducted by the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Providence Montessori School of Lexington, Kentucky
We are Providence Montessori School, an authentic Montessori school accredited with the American Montessori Society.
Our mission is to…
Provide a quality environment, holistic in its approach,
Which unleashes in our children their natural curiosity,
Their intrinsic desire for life long learning,
And their innate ability to be citizens who better our world community.
Learn more about our different programs
Dr. Montessori observed that the foundation for life-long learning and a happy, healthy child is developed in the first few years of life. When the basic physical, emotional and social needs of a young child are consistently, respectfully and joyfully met, the child learns to trust. Feeling safe and secure, the child can then begin to explore all the wonders of his or her own self and world. These experiences shape the child's impressions as he or she develops and grows.
Dr. Montessori divides a child's growth into four distinct planes of development. The first two planes deal with childhood and the growth of a child through age 12. Providence Montessori addresses these first two formative planes through its primary and elementary programs. During the first three years, the child is unconsciously absorbing his surroundings. During the second three years, the child moves from unconscious absorption to conscious work.
Whereas children from birth to age six are gathering facts, children in the second plane need to know why, how and when. The years from six to twelve, then, are the time for cosmic education understanding and exploring the interdependence of everything in nature. There is an eagerness to know and understand the reasons for things, to learn details about subjects, to explore moral questions, and to form close associations with others.
The child's education at the upper elementary level continues to promote development of his or her mental independence as well as the ability to manage the requirements of daily life with grace, confidence and effectiveness. The structure of the classroom encourages a high level of self-discipline. Research, independent study, and collaborative projects all teach children how to learn, not just what to learn.
The Erdkinder level (ages 12-18) continues the work of the elementary, but focuses on the implementation of human interdependency with the natural world. Adolescents begin to merge the history of the universe, the cultures of man and governments with skills currently acquired through academic pursuits and work on the land.Students have greater opportunity for hands-on environmental work, technology, and commerce. They are more independent and self-motivated as they develop life skills for an emerging society.
