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!
