The Sony CDX GT730UI head unit has a flip down full motion detachable faceplate. Removing the faceplate and hiding it in the glove compartment will reduce the chances of a quick snatch and grab theft. It has a front USB 1-wire for iPhones and iPods and other music players. It uses the Sony ZAPPIN function that allows the consumer to find the tune they're looking for just by playing a clip of each track in the collection, so that the driver can search for music using their ears instead of their eyes. The Sony CDX GT730UIhas a few other of Sony's features, such as Quick-BrowZer, Jump Mode, Passenger Control and DM+ Advanced.
