Sony GMD-700 Car Shelves For Auxiliary Input

It is not something that I intended to buy, but honestly, this things is not a common product. I bought it at local online store for less than US$17 and it is SONY GMD-700, a 1 Din Auxiliary Box but it is expensive in my opinion for only a drawer.


Perhaps, this is the product that not many people using it in my country. But compares to the origin of this product, Japan, most brand new car doesn't include an audio system. That is why this unit come in handy. Others option to use this product is because of the changing of the 2 din head unit to a single Din.

The package is simple, a carton box with typical Sony manual inside. You also get several bolt to attach this unit to the OEM car bracket.

The manual is in Japan language. You don't need to translate it anyway, this product do tell the function.

And here it is.

Nice finished in my opinion.

Open the shelves and here is the place to put your mobile phone or a portable audio player. There also a thick layer of foam to keep your gadget in place.

Sadly it is comes with very poor quality connector.



That is why I decide to remove the cable and change it to the better one.

Only unscrew four bolt underneath the unit and open the tab at the back.

It is open very easy.

Now it is more clear to see the foam inside of the shelves.

All the disassembly parts and ready to put the new cable.
