Why SD Car Stereo Installs the DPX505BT
At SD Car Stereo, the DPX505BT is one of our "go-to" recommendations for customers looking for a reliable, high-quality upgrade without the complexity of a full touchscreen. We love installing this unit because of its rock-solid Bluetooth stability and the intuitive physical buttons that make it safe and easy to use while driving. The variable color zones allow us to give our customers a truly "factory look" in almost any vehicle, and the 13-band EQ ensures that even stock speakers sound significantly better the moment we hand back the keys.
