  • QuestionI just had this installed recently. It doesn't recognize my USB for my galaxy note. Is it compatible?

    Asked by Andre.

    • Answer The Sony stereo is junk, Best Buy has replaced mine twice. I now have a third one in my van and it quit working again today. I will be calling Best Buy tomorrow.

  • QuestionIs apple carplay wireless? Or do you have to use cable to connect carplay?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hello there, Thank you for considering Sony products! We appreciate your inquiry about Apple CarPlay on the XAV-AX1000 and are happy to assist you. The XAV-AX1000 does not support wireless Apple CarPlay. To use Apple CarPlay, you will need to connect your iPhone directly to the unit using a compatible USB cable. The unit does have Bluetooth for wireless audio streaming and hands-free calling, but CarPlay requires the wired USB connection. For detailed connection instructions and additional information, please refer to the XAV-AX1000 Operating Instructions: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/4740/de0cea3deac418e2d4780819876b2f2a/47408851M.pdf Best regards, -Fred

  • QuestionDoes this work with android as well ? Im not seeing anything on reviews or description

    Asked by JJ.

    • Answer Hi JJ! Thanks for the question! We are happy to assist you with this. The Sony XAV-AX1000 works with Android phones, but only for certain features. You can easily pair your Android phone wirelessly using standard Bluetooth to make hands-free phone calls and stream your favorite music or podcasts through your car speakers. However, this specific model does not support Android Auto. This means you cannot mirror your Android phone's navigation apps, like Google Maps, or view your text messages directly onto the stereo's touchscreen. That specific on-screen feature only works with Apple iPhones on this unit. If having your Android phone's maps and apps right on the screen is a must have for you, we would be happy to recommend a different model. For example, the Sony XAV-AX3250 comes with full, built-in Android Auto support so you can display your maps and apps seamlessly while driving. For more details on the Sony XAV-AX1000, feel free to review the Operating Instructions here: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/4740/de0cea3deac418e2d4780819876b2f2a/47408851M.pdf We appreciate you considering Sony for your next purchase!

    Asked by CrewK.

    • Answer Hi Crew, thanks for considering Sony products. We're happy to help! Yes, the steering wheel controls work on the Sony XAV-AX1000.

  • QuestionI love this unit Am I able to adjust the screen display for daytime viewing It is almost impossible to see it in the sunlight (Convertible) overcast or cloudy days fine. Thanks Porsche

    Asked by Porsche.

    • Answer Hi Porsche! Thanks for reaching out, we are happy to help! You can fix the daytime screen glare on your XAV-AX1000 by changing the dimmer setting from Auto to Off, adjusting the wallpaper to a bright picture, or manually turning up the screen brightness in the display menu. -Go to the display settings and change the dimmer mode to Off so the screen stays at full brightness during the day. -Manually set the brightness slider to maximum in the settings menu instead of letting the stereo guess the light level. For detailed steps, check page 19 of the manual: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/4740/de0cea3deac418e2d4780819876b2f2a/47408851M.pdf Please note that these adjustment may not fully resolve visibility issues in direct sunlight. For improved visibility, consider using a sunshade or positioning the screen away from direct sunlight when possible. Thanks for considering Sony and letting us know about this issue.
