Yes sir! on another thread the op was asking for an HU that he could see in the sunlight and the Alpine fit was he was looking for. I know a couple guys who have the Alpine and they love it for that reason. Me personally. . . I have the Sony and I love it as well. I would need my prescription glasses on to see any display while riding. . . lol

Yes, phone batt. Realize HU charges, as does any USB or the trusty cig lighter, but not as convenient when it is clipped to your side or in saddle bag. My phone wouldnt fit in tune tray....

You might want to check out the Sony MEX-M70BT, its the same as the MEX-GS610BT but its the MARINE grade, so you have some more waterproofing on it. Another benefit I like is that you can read the display in the sunlight! For an extra $20, that's the one that I just purchased and installed. I love it!

Sony screwed up with a batch of these HU's where they won't receive any FM over stations in the 90 frequency range. Something to do with confusing the European models with the US models. It's a known issue and Sony is working to correct it. I ordered the HU from. I ordered one of these and just my luck, I got one of the problem units.
It's a great model, if you don't mind rolling the dice.
