The display joint's screw-less structure gives you a range of ±15 degrees, both horizontally and vertically, with no tools required – even after installation.
- Fully wireless smartphone connectivity: Thanks to a Wi-Fi connection to your smartphone, together with the supplied GPS antenna, you can use voice control to navigate, communicate and play music on the road even with your device in your pocket.
- Sound customization: The built-in DSP offers sound processing and time alignment—down to a remarkable 1 cm for each of the five addressable channels (four speakers and subwoofer via pre-out). A 14-band EQ lets you adjust the overall sound to your music or taste, and with the three-zone crossover, you can arrange the perfect match of front, rear and subwoofers.
- HDMI Input: HDMI connectivity allows you to hook up an external audio and visual source device or a compatible smartphone, so you can view your favorite content when your car is parked.

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.
