Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

I aimed to get CarPlay for my 2014 Highlander, complete with a large screen, ample power for the JBL speakers, and all the functions that come with CarPlay. This Sony deck truly delivers. The perfectly large screen doesn’t block the A/C vents, it swivels for optimal viewing, and is as intuitive to operate as my iPhone 15. Even after two months, I'm still learning the ins and outs and will probably discover new features along the way. BestBuy installed it for free, which is fantastic, and it comes with a lifetime installation guarantee—awesome! I highly recommend having the installer connect an HDMI cable for A/V and a USB-C for charging to keep your options open for the future.

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.

Screen is big and beautiful. Super responsive. Back up camera image is great. couldn't be happier.

Have all the radios I have purchased this is by far the best one

The Sony CarPlay 10 inch is a perfect design easy to use have a lot of options and the screen is very responsive

I really love the connectivity of this unit! It pairs well with my iPhone and car play makes my driving experience way better!

I think it’s a pretty good size unit doesn’t feel like it takes up to much or too little space with the 10.1” which if pretty great for an after market stereo, I like the easy and quick connection to Bluetooth connectivity and has some good features and customizations. I think I love the voice control the most out of it, when you pair it to your phone. Love it over all.

Love the sony 10.1 floating screen. The apple carplay works flawlessly. The screen looks beautifuland the radio sounds great.

Head unit is pretty neat. It Automatically connects to my Apple car play and the sound is amazing.

So far, so good! Love its native compatibility with climate control, tire pressure, etc.

Installation was quick .. service was excellent .. perfect fit looks really good in my car. I love Apple CarPlay.

After 3 months my volume button and seek buttons popped off. No hard pressure on the unit, just bad quality buttons. look up every similar model with this button style. You will find many for sale 2nd hand with the buttons missing. great receiver if you are willing to risk the terrible buttons.

The stereo is amazing and super user-friendly—you barely need any time to figure it out. I love that I can just connect via Bluetooth and instantly start enjoying Android Auto; it's completely hassle-free. Installation is a bit tricky, but there are tons of step-by-step YouTube tutorials to help you through it. The price is totally fair—it’s worth every penny.

Installed the unit my self, would of like to had sales person sale dash kit. THE USB CAN PLAY ANYTHING WITH WRIGHT FORMAT. I don't see why I have to spend almost $200 more to see dash display, steering wheel WORKS awsome with unit. It would be nice to do local weath app on unit but it dosn't. [abc 33/40]. The raidio is good has plenty of apps for news and sports etc. the car play is good, the usb meadia is good with your own personal screen picks. CAT SUNSET FAVORITE PLACE YOU HAVE BEEN FOR SCREEN NOT FACTORY and I'm not into subwoofer but that is just as good , ALL I NEEDED WAS A WOOFER and I WOULD OF BEEN GOOD TO GO. It is a little pricey so if you can hit a sale do. Last but not least put 4 year protection plan on it for that price you need one.

The wireless Android Auto is really choppy and skips a lot. The receiver freezes repeatedly and disconnects, but not all the way. When it acts up I can not look at my phone screen for gps. The volume for Sirius radio doesn't work all the time if you are using Android Auto. The display is big, but the bevel is thick and makes the receiver looks dated.

Great product love the big screen display easy to operate

Fantastic radio! Wireless CarPlay works perfectly. Fast, responsive, and the display is very clear. Upgraded from AVX6000 as I'm getting older and need a bigger screen. Love the post-install adjustablility of the screen. Installed in a 2013 Mazda CX-5 and happy that the Maestro box is able to customize wipers and door locks through the head unit.

This thing is awesome! Does all of the things we need in our son's vehicle in 2026 in a 2006 vehicle. Looks great, too!!

Real nice and easy to use I love all the features I done told some of my friends and family about this radio and they want one for their self
