Adjustable Screen for the win!
Sony makes a solid head unit. This thing fit right in my 2014 Jeep and brought me into 2025. The android auto auto syncs up for instant connectivity. I can now have conversations, make calls, send/reply to text all using audio. I got lucky and it was an open box, so the money I saved covered the adapters needed. Overall, the unit fits my needs very well. I love having all the screen location adjustment, makes it super easy from driver to driver. My only critique would be upon startup, the reverse cam takes a few seconds to come on. But thats a me habit... I do look before I back, so its not really a big deal... figured I would mention here. A small adjustment to your driving routine and you'll be fine... always look anyway! Oh, I do like the menus and the screens are fast and smooth. I listen to a lot of real estate podcasts and this works great with Spotify and audio books. Handsfree control and menu options... I'm very happy with the value! The Best Buy installer did a great job and covered the basics with me. I'm pretty happy, thanks Sony & Best Buy!

Loving this Sony!
I have been a Pioneer only radio giy since high school, I am 43 now. This is my first Sony and the reason for picking it was my features vs budget allotment i absolutely love this head unit compared to my old 2017 Pioneer. The screen is amazing, sound is amazing, backup camera looks perfect after updating the software. Sound is amazing from the in unit amp but I now added a 4 channel amp and two 12s, this thing is so clean, way cleaner than the pioneer ever wanted to be. I highly recommend this head unit and if you nab jt on sale, consider it even more strongly.
