As others have said, I think the difference is the RDS as with all other
Sony HUs, the R at the end indicates it is equipped with RDS capabilities.
I know that some of the RDS equipped units sacrificed "Station Memo" for RDS
(vs. the non-RDS counterparts). This meant that the 8-character station
name assignment that you can do on pretty much every Sony HU with Custom
File support, is not available. The reasoning behind this is because RDS
stations are supposed to have their own text identifiers. I don't know if
it is like this on all the Sony RDS units, but I remember the earlier ones
were like that--they either had RDS or Station Memo but not both.

Has anyone seen some of the new Sony mobile HUs? The ones for 2003, I mean.
What exactly is Sony thinking???
I mean when Xplod started a few years back, I really [actually] liked the
styling (though some things I didn't like such as the removal of the 10 disc
access buttons and also the track change ring around the volume). But then
of course the quality was just not there.
Okay so now they have, IMO, taken away even the nice styling the Xplod
series had and started to make some awfully bad designed decks. (Now I know
that a lot of people never liked the Xplod red styling, but I did.) I was
looking on eBay and spotted several of the '03 models and all I can say is
that I'm really disappointed :(
It appears that many of the new decks have the same basic design with
slightly different displays...
The big kicker though is the complete lack of ergonomics of these things! I
mean has anyone SEEN them? What happened to the volume/control KNOB???
GASP! It has disappeared!
Now I wonder if the quality has improved any, because honestly I think the
design (which is very much the same for many of the models) has gone right
into the ground :(
Thanks, Sony, you've managed to make the worst models yet...
