Sony CDX-F5710 CD Player Car Deck From 2005

[@HapPap81]

I had this one for a few years. I believe it went from my Mustang to my explorer to my wife’s sport trac and eventually I gave it to my brother.

[@highfidelitysoundhaven78]

This is one of the best car stereos in terms of tonal quality. Being an audiophile, I have yet to hear any car stereo touch it's sound.

[@kaknballz]

I've always been a big fan of the older Sony decks. Happy to see others enjoy them just as much!!

[@highfidelitysoundhaven78]

@@kaknballz I grew up around them. They did sell well back in their day. Sony just isn't the same now.

[@kaknballz]

@@highfidelitysoundhaven78 I sold car audio from roughly 2001 to 2012 and I would agree. HOWEVER!!! Some of the newer Sony decks have some great options at a good price. Some of their newer decks are running up and over 40 watts RMS instead of 17. To some a little sound quality may be the trade off for power, USB, or Bluetooth. But yes, their older decks to me do sound better. Must have been the D Bass lol. I always gave my female riders the extra click of the D knob ha ha.

the Sony mobile es line was amazing, still can't find anything close to my old cdx-c860

[@thoraldshib4393]

I agree, I had the Marine version, and used it for years, opened this video just to show it to someone else, because I remember it fondly

Looks a lot like the stereo I have in my sonata, a CDX-FW500

Can we use the bus audio as a external audio input

[@SuSpInTiOn]

Is there another way to change the colors? My color button doesn't seem to change the colors of the face plate.. When I had demo mode on the colors all showed up properly so I think the button is broken..

[@kaknballz]

I "think" the remote may have the ability to change the color??

[@SuSpInTiOn]

@@kaknballz Thanks for the reply, it was a hand-me-down present I've kept in an old beater I drive to and from work to save my car on miles, had the stereo for about 8 years but never had the remote lol, tried checking the app store to see if I could get a remote to work but no luck, I've used this stereo for this long without changing colors so I'll be fine til I upgrade either the car or tunes, thanks for the help though, subbed!

How To set top aux mode.i have connected the cable but unable To on aux mode. Help me if you can..model 5800

[@kaknballz]

Have you tried Googling the owners manual? Not sure if this is the right manual for your deck or not? www.manualslib.com/manual/1103706/Sony-Cdx-V5800.html?page=4#manual

[@mohammadimteyaz2318]

Thanks brother hope it help

[@kaknballz]

@@mohammadimteyaz2318 No problem. Keep in mind that some older decks have the AUX input that is meant to be used with a cd changer, Ipod adapter, or satellite radio. All of those units required a bus cable to send a signal to the deck to turn on the AUX. So if you are trying to hook up say a phone with a RCA to 1/8" mini jack it may not work.

[@ericaalbers8488]

I can't get anything but a cd to play . Nothing comes up when I hit source

[@joannelimanek8881]

My 5710 is stuck in Demo mode. How do I get demo mode turned off. The various modes just continuously scroll across the screen and none of the buttons seem to do anything. I don't have a remote. the Instruction manual refers me to page eleven from page four where it says one needs to reset the unit after disconnecting the battery (which I've done). Page eleven seems to refer me back to page four. The unit worked last year (its on my boat). Any thoughts?

[@kaknballz]

Turn the radio ON. When it's on press the OFF button on the lower right face plate. Do not hold the OFF button just press it once so it shows the clock. It should start going into demo mode as well. Then press the "MENU" button. This will pull up a menu. Press the " + " to cycle through the settings until you come to "DEMO". Once there press on the right "SEEK" button to select DEMO OFF. Then press the ENTER button to retain the demo off setting. I just physically went out and did this. If this does not work then there may be something wrong with the faceplate or the radio itself. If this helped please be sure to leave a like!! :)

[@pppaybackkk]

CDFX 5000 demo mode is: turn off, press select(volume knob) and preset 4 simultaneously. Toggles on and off. My google search brought me by here and I've come back after RTFM at Sony in case anyone else is looking.

[@CStyleRecords]

I have the Sony CDX-F5710x. Plays music, volume works, but the other buttons don't, like skip, back, dso, etc. Is there a fix?

[@kaknballz]

You can always try another faceplate and try it out. Keep in mind the price point of a replacement faceplate versus some newer model decks on the market. You may have to spend around $30 total known working e only to find out its deck or visa versa. For $70-$100 a newer deck with dated options can be had.

[@youfoundjordyx7172]

How can you hook it up to your iPhone

[@Si1v3rSkull]

I bought a 98 eclipse and it came with this but there seems to be no sound coming out and was wondering how do I make it work or what could be the problem?

[@kaknballz]

One would have to believe that if the radio is installed correctly it would work right? Since you don't have any sound I personally would remove the radio and test it outside of the vehicle. This way you can pin point and isolate the problem to either the car or the radio. If the radio works you then have to dig into the car to find the problem. could be something as silly as say.....the previous owner removed the aftermarket speakers from the car but left the old head unit.

I have cdx f5500x How i can on aux mode to play song through phone

[@kaknballz]

Not sure. Your CD player is a different model than this one. Have you tried to search for a owners manual online?

[@andrewascencio3461]

Trying to get my AUX function to work but cant seem to figure it out. Any suggestions?

[@kaknballz]

What ind of item are you trying to hook up to it? Some decks, not sure about this one, need to see some sort of power signal via the bus input cable to "turn on" the AUX ability in the radio.

[@frankr4118]

Does this stereo have a 3.5mm auxiliary input jack?

[@kaknballz]

It does not.

[@willjack5448]

I found a 5510, similar to yours. Powers on, goes through everything on demo, turn demo off, press source and nothing happens. Is source the power on button for these style? Thanks

[@kaknballz]

Yes. www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/W000/W0001804M.pdf

[@richardbates2367]

I have this same mp3 deck powers on no sound, nothing wrong with buttons or the faceplate, anyway I eventually will replace my CD deck because it was my birthday present from my best friend, anyway if you know anybody else with a 5710,or the 5700 they would be willing to part with,I have a Sony xplod CDx 810x I'd swap worked great. thanks.

[@kaknballz]

I'm not aware of anyone off the top of my head that has one for sale. Most people now days, it seems, must have Bluetooth or some sort of USB input for their phones. I've seen the 5710's from time to time on ebay but that's about the only place I've seen them.

[@highfidelitysoundhaven78]

Richard Bates Although your comment is a year ago. My CDX FW570 sometimes but rarely drops sound for no reason at all. One day, it completely stopped working. What I did was remove the faceplate and clean the contacts between the faceplate and the head unit. It has done this since. All mine does is sound amazing for a car stereo.

[@richardbates2367]

@@highfidelitysoundhaven78 what did you use to clean the contacts on the front of the stereo ?!

[@richardbates2367]

@@kaknballz found one a month ago on eBay for $200, and in July one with a older CD changer with a cracked up faceplate for $250 I'm like nope.. my Sony xplod CDx L600X will do fine for now..

[@highfidelitysoundhaven78]

@@richardbates2367 Any standard contact cleaner with a small microfiber cloth will work just fine. Another thing to be sure is that the faceplate is sitting flat on the receiver itself. I've had cases where mine has had the plastic mechanism bend (mine survived a car accident). All I did was bend the plastic back straight, and the faceplate sits firmly. This even fixed the interment issues I was having previously. It is REALLY hard to believe that this Sony has been in three vehicles now. Still haven't heard a modern head unit sound nearly as good as this old Sony. I'm surprised you saw one on eBay for $200. I just bought another faceplate in July for $20. Also, scored the FW570s twin, the F5710 for $40 in mint condition and with the working remote. I'm actually using this one as a pre amp for a HiFi setup.

I'm not sure what the problem could be off the top of my head. I know on some of these older decks you can try cleaning the contacts on the face plate and radio with some isopropyl alcohol and it may help the connection.

We're do you put in the aux

You have to purchase an adapter. A quick Google search should pull up some results with the model number of your deck.

[@nonamechannelsupeme]

If I were to buy the adapter we're would I put it

[@kaknballz]

@@nonamechannelsupeme Sony Unilink adapter allows you to connect an auxiliary source (iPod, MP3 player, etc) to a Sony car stereo that lacks the Aux Lite feature. It plugs into any Sony stereo with CD/MD changer controls, activating the audio input jacks. When you select the CD/MD changer as the source, you can listen to any auxiliary source that's connected to the stereo's RCA inputs. This cable makes it appear that a CD changer is connected to the Unilink connection on a Sony head unit with CD changer controls. By making it appear that a CD changer is connected to the Unilink input, the audio from an auxiliary source, such as a portable MP3 player, can be fed into the BUS AUDIO RCA inputs of the head unit. If your Sony head unit has the Aux Lite feature, this adapter isn't needed to input audio from an auxiliary audio source. When this adapter is used, a Sony CD changer cannot be connected to the head unit. Compatibility: Compatible with Sony UniLink head-units that are changer controllers that use a DIN cable as well as RCA inputs for its CD changer connections. For proper functionality, the head unit must also be "Sat Ready" and support scrolling text.
