I am extremely pleased with my Sony purchase. I'm not a super techy person but have found this receiver very easy to use, The microphone is also far superior to the factory one that was in my car. Sound is very clear. Installs very nice and looks clean.

Excellent upgrade smooth wireless CarPlay and great sound quality I’m extremely happy with this Sony 7” Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto receiver. Installation was straightforward, and it integrated perfectly with my vehicle. Wireless CarPlay connects quickly and reliably every time, which has been a huge convenience compared to plugging in my phone. The screen is bright, responsive, and easy to navigate, even in daylight. Audio quality is noticeably improved over my factory head unit, with clean sound and solid tuning options. Bluetooth calls are clear, and overall performance feels smooth and well-built, just what I expect from Sony. Highly recommend this unit if you’re looking for a reliable, modern head unit with wireless CarPlay and a clean OEM-style look.

This is definitely a great after-market radio. It replaced a JVC radio that lasted about a week. I love that it has wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay. It integrates well with my 2013 Prius (also needed the idatalink maestro for this which is a separate purchase $$$). A decent amount of customizability, but not overwhelming. I love how low profile it is too; other than the Sony brand, there's nothing else unnecessary printed on the front (which was kind of a peeve with other radios). It's matte finish screen makes for a less vibrant image, but it's better that way because the glare was so bad on other radios; especially for my car. The matte screen also means that oily finger smudges aren't as noticeable. As a side note, I did install this myself; I didn't think it was too bad with the right tools, but use your own discretion.

Amazing radio, it has all of the features I could ever want and Apple CarPlay to boot. The staff in the car audio department did a great job installing it in my 25 year old Porsche Boxster. It brought it up to current standards and I couldn’t be happier with the sound quality.

I got this radio to replace the factory radio on my 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK. It’s a major upgrade from before - automatically connects to my phone as soon as the car turns on and the car play works great. There have been a few times it’s been slow to connect, but nothing major. There is a glare on the screen during the day, but after adjusting the settings it’s been better and I got used to it. Definitely recommend!

Like the deck. Install was good. I updated the firmware with a flashdrive The connection to the wireless Android Audio was tricky at times for about a week at most, but it connects good after that. Sound is good. Have a real eq built-in. Although it calls for a connection to the speedometer for apple carplay, i used my iphone14 for a day and it never stopped working although i didn't connect the rpms cable Connected my amp and Woofers to add sub. The deck is good aftermarket addition.

Great unit! Install wasn’t bad and it works great! Wireless Apple CarPlay! Exactly what I was looking for! My only complaint is it’s pretty hard to see when the sun hits it but I can live with that lol
PedroC Posted
The features, sound quality, ease of use, and installation has been exemplary. Would recommend to anyone looking for an upgrade. This unit has performed flawlessly.

Unit gives my 2010 truck an updated look with modern functions including SiriusXM, Bluetooth, Apple Carplay and Android Auto Digital Media Receiver Maestro Compatible. The display has multiple options, while I prefer the regular classic black which gives the instrument panel that tuxedo look. User friendly and great appearance, I love it.

Thank you for sharing your fantastic review, ShawnM!

Purchased and got the free install from Geek Squad. So far so good - the wireless CarPlay was what sold me on this. The interface isn't super laggy like some of the budget units are (but in no means will it feel like 120Hz). Rear Camera is a fairly simple install as well. The physical buttons are a pro for me as well. Does also come with USB-C, which is a nice upgrade from USB 3.0.

One of the very best "anythings" ever purchased!! Functions, sounds and looks fantastic.

I love this head unit. It works flawlessly with wireless Android Auto. Looks really sleek in my 98 Integra. It doesn't look over-the-top like other double dins

That's awesome, Z06Chris! We're glad you like your new car media player. Enjoy and thanks for choosing Sony. -Craig <img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/stratos-logos/logos/Sony_US.jpg" alt="Sony_US" title="Sony_US" style="display: block !important; margin-top: 2em !important; border: 1px solid #ccc !important; padding: 2px !important; background-color: white !important;" />

I received the item in great condition with all of the necessary harnesses. The installation went smoothly and the radio works great. The only negative thing I could say is that it didn't come with a remote.
Eddie Posted
Wow , easy install in my 2011 Toyota Tundra (with a mounting kit), built in apt but will perform better once I upgrade my speakers. Able to switch back in forth with CarPlay and androids font
MicaelaA Posted
I love the stereo. I just think the quality of the camera is not that good! Either way is still a good stereo. It was just that that I don’t really like.

Awesome stereo, the wireless Apple CarPlay works perfectly. So nice to have wireless audio/call functions and big screen navigation in an older car.

My factory radio crashed and burned in my 2014 F-150. So I went without a radio for 8 months looked and looked on line….finally went into Best Buy and talk to a young man radio technician “geek squad” he was so helpful! He asked what I was looking for in my truck radio I told him and he give me a few different options and they were all great but I think with his help I made the best one!!! Great radio and looks just like factory installed from Ford!!! Geek Squad installed everything for me they are great.The young man that installed it made sure I was happy and really explained everything to me about my new radio set up
