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.
