A:AnswerHi RG, Thanks for the inquiry. The XAVAX3250 is only wired Android and Apple CarPlay capable. Unfortunately, there's no Sony official adapter for wireless use.
Take control seamlessly while driving with this Sony high-power media receiver. Support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto gives you hands-free control over navigation, audio playback and voice calls. The large touchscreen on this Sony high-power media receiver connects to your phone to display important information in an easy-to-read format. Regards, -Craig
A:AnswerYes, it is compatible with backup cameras. Of course there are some which may be proprietary- but most will work as the connections are fairly standard.
A:AnswerLet Best Buy do the installation which includes a car kit. My installation experience was the best. They were on time for my appointment and finished early. They spent time with me to explain all the features and told me to come back if I had questions.
A:AnswerYes. There is an RCA jack for back up camera. Install your camera, run your cable as discreetly as possible from camera through dash to back of receiver. Plug in and you’re done.
A:AnswerThis deck only supports WIRED Android Auto and Apple Carplay, so you will have to plug your phone into the deck for those things to work on the screen.

A:AnswerHi Vader,
While our car audio systems are designed to be universally compatible, installing one in a 2009 BMW 328i can be complex. We recommend you speak with an installation specialist at Best Buy to discuss whether an appropriate installation kit, harness, and antenna adapter are available and if they can complete the installation.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab
A:AnswerHi there,
The Sony XAV-AX1000 receiver is rear-view camera ready, which means it has a dedicated input for a backup camera. While it doesn't come with a camera included in the box, you can easily connect and use a compatible aftermarket camera to get a clear view when you're in reverse.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab
A:AnswerThanks for contacting Sony!
That's an excellent question regarding the XAV-AX3250. We're happy to inform you that this unit indeed supports the desired functionality.
The XAV-AX3250 is equipped with a rear USB port, enabling you to connect a USB mass storage device, such as a thumb drive, to play your MP3 files. Our design team included this feature to provide you with a simple way to enjoy your music collection without the need for physical CDs. The player is compatible with various audio formats, including MP3, WMA, AAC, and FLAC.
Additionally, you can use your smartphone to play MP3 files through Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, or by connecting via Bluetooth®. These options offer even greater flexibility in how you access and enjoy your music.
Please note that the XAV-AX3250 can only play MP3 files that are stored directly in a folder on your USB drive. It is essential that these files are not in a compressed or Zipped folder. You must first uncompress (unzip) the files on a computer and then place the MP3 files themselves into a standard folder on the USB drive for the car receiver to recognize and play them.
To ensure seamless playback, please keep the following tips in mind:
1. File Format: Only MP3 files can be played by the XAV-AX3250. Make sure that your music files are in this format to ensure compatibility.
2. Uncompressed Files: It's crucial that the MP3 files are not placed in any compressed or zipped folders. The car receiver needs direct access to the files, and compressed formats will not be recognized.
3. Proper Organization: Before hitting the road, take a moment to organize your music. First, uncompress (or unzip) the files on your computer. Once you have done that, create a standard folder on your USB drive where you can store the MP3 files.
By following these guidelines, you'll be all set to enjoy your favorite music while driving.
We hope this clarifies your question and helps you get the most out of your XAV-AX3250. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to us.
Thank you for considering Sony products.
