Looking for the right audio head units for your car. Look no further cause it is just in front of you. We are talking about the Sony car audio head unit which has just been announced by Sony, it is called the Sony MEX-BT5000 and features Bluetooth® wireless technology. Designed specifically for the mobile lifestyle, the MEX-BT5000 automatically links to any Bluetooth mobile phone and provides handsfree calls with crystal clear sound.

What’s more, with a high visibility screen you can make and receive calls during a journey without even bothering to take your mobile out from your pocket. In addition, it also allows the much-needed wireless transfer of up to fifty phone book contacts to the head unit itself, this is the specialty of the Sony MEX-BT5000, which you will not find in most of the other car audio head units. Apart from his stylishly minimal design and a full motion fluorescent display, installation of BT5000 is very simple, which was not the case with previous Sony head units.

Ideally, your head unit would be used to provide a signal to your amplifiers that is line level and you would not have to use its internal amplifiers, they usually do not have the power and strength to drive speakers both loudly and cleanly. No head unit typically has more than about 60watts of total output power because more would require a real DC-DC power supply (which does not fit in a head unit easily). Using the head unit power can be a temporary solution until a separate amplifier can be purchased, just make sure you do not try to power any subwoofers or insensitive component sets with the head unit's built in power. Also it is not just a handsfree, show it a mobilephone or music player that supports Bluetooth® audio streaming and it will retrieve and play music too. No word on pricing and availibility.
