  • QuestionI have a Sony x150. Radio just died on me. Will this radio use the same harness plug in into the unit ?

    Asked by Drizzle.

    • Answer Hi Drizzle, Thank you for your inquiry! The Sony X150 and the Sony XAV-AX3250 do not use the same harness plug and are thus not directly interchangeable. The wiring harness and connectivity standards for these two models differ. It is essential to use the wiring harness provided with the new head unit for proper installation and compatibility. For specific car models or additional guidance, consulting a professional installer is recommended to ensure the units' proper fit, function, and integration. Regards, Carl

  • QuestionCan you watch movies from your phone on this?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hi there, Thanks for the inquiry. While the radio features Weblink, it only supports limited video playback from your phone under specific conditions. To play a video file on the radio's screen, you'll need to have the Weblink app installed on your phone, establish a physical USB connection, and ensure the video file is non-protected, non-copyrighted, or free from subscription-based restrictions. We recommend exploring the capabilities of both the Weblink app and your phone to assess compatibility. Alternatively, you can convert your phone's digital output to a composite output compatible with the 3.5mm Aux input of the radio. This method will require one or more third-party adapters, along with a video that is compatible with this setup. However, neither of these solutions is particularly streamlined. For a more efficient option, consider the XAV-AX8500, which comes equipped with a Micro-HDMI input for straightforward video playback. Hope this help. Regards, -Craig
