Customer Ratings & Reviews

So far I like this product a lot. The apply car play works well and the display is nice and it is very responsive. The only downside is when I plug in my iPhone it doesn’t always recognize the usb is hooked up and open the apple car play

Purchased this Sony head unit to upgrade my factory 05 Silverado head unit. Primary reason for selecting this head unit over others is for the volume knob and front USB input. Apple car play works great. Bluetooth connects automatically. The audio is great paired with Kicker audio. I actually ordered this head unit from Best Buy because Crutchfield didn't have it in stock. I ordered the all the adapters, face plate, speakers and harness from Crutchfield. Everything working great so far. Anything beats the factory head unit.

Great head unit, especially for the money. Its very easy to use and sounds great. No issues with Carplay, it works perfectly.

Glad I went with this one. My budget was $200-400 so I had several options. This one was priced good and is of good quality. CarPlay works fine and the display is plenty bright even on a sunny day with the windows down. The only reason I gave 4 star is because phone has to be plugged in for CarPlay to work. It has Bluetooth for music that does not require plug in but for maps and other features you have to plug your phone in. I’d recommend this to someone who doesn’t want to spend a lot of money and really just wants to upgrade there old CD player to something where they can have Apple Music and other basic features. Quality is good and it has worked very well so far.

Very easy to install. Superb sound quality. Love the color and the physical volume knob. Highly recommend! Had zero problems with it since installing.

Bought this for my wife’s van. Fits perfectly and sounds amazing. Love the Apple CarPlay features. Feels like I have a super expensive radio for not an expensive price.

My son loves his gift! He loves the Apple car play feature. I like that it can be hooked up to a backup camera.

Decent radio when on sale, at full price buy something better. I specifically bought this radio because it was on sale and it advertised as compatible with steering wheel controls. What they don't tell you unless you go deep into the Q&A or the manual before purchasing is that you need a separate optional adapter. This is a bit deceptive to describe something as compatible but in reality you need to buy an additional adapter for it. If you're only looking for a basic radio with back up camera capabilities, XM radio and Apple car play, this is a decent radio but only if it is on sale. If not, spend a bit more or keep browsing to find something better.

I've installed this on 2 vehicles now and love it. Works great with apple carplay, has the tie in for a backup camera and the rear USB for adding a aftermarket tie in to the dash. Personally I like the knob adjustment for volume too as it's easier when riding than hitting a button multiple times.

We bought this on sale for $250 a few months ago. Honestly, when you couple it’s 6” touchscreen, usb input, CarPlay and Android Auto, and Bluetooth...you simply can’t touch another radio with the notoriety of the Sony name. Great (clean) amplifier output 50w x 4 maximum (something like 17x4 rms), PLUS 3 pairs of 2v preout RCAs, AND options for Sirius/XM hookup, aux, and a backup camera. Everything you could imagine you’d need in a car stereo. I bought a backup camera online and we’ve now got a feature packed stereo in the Jeep! Couldn’t be happier, sounds great!

Apple CarPlay works perfectly on here. It cleaned up the sound of my speakers very much. It’s very easy to use, works very fast and looks attractive.

This Sony radio sounds great Bluetooth amazing she loves that u can play songs off iPhone , installing a couple scathing it’s is noticeable but great Sony radio I would highly recommend

Breathe new life into your car or just get a better deck for what you already have. The touchscreen is responsive, and the screen quality is crisp. More importantly it has a physical volume knob which comes in really handy for when you need to keep your eyes on the road.

The installer was the best! I absolutely love the Apple car play on my 2000 corvette. This is the best unit for the money! Don’t hesitate, hurry and get one

Relatively simple to install, wiring harness makes the job easier for sure. Good interface and audio customization options. Touch screen is a little laggy but it’s an excellent device with Apple CarPlay for the price

I’ve owned this stereo for about six months now and it hasn’t let me down. Typical Sony quality which I expect it to last for a while. Sound quality is good if you tinker with the equalizer and other bass settings. FM radio reception seems a bit weak compared to my old stock stereo, but I finally have Apple CarPlay, which is the main reason why I bought this. It’s pretty snappy and very visible during the day. For the money, you’re getting a great receiver. I’d buy again.

This thing is super worth it it never lags the screen is responsive it connects to Apple CarPlay and Android auto super quick and best part of all it has a volume knob for fast volume up and down!

I like the overall design of this radio. It has a pretty interface that functions easy. Only thing I haven't figured out is how to turn it off while vehicle is running. Not something I need very often, but it is perplexing considering I've never had an aftermarket radio that you can't turn off. Anyways, I have no other complaints. I mainly use it for the Apple Play. That part works well barring the occasional times when the radio won't connect, which is part of the reason why I wish I could manually turn off the radio to restart it. This doesn't happen enough to give me a negative feel for the stereo, so this is one I recommend.

I don't know why I waited so long to install this, it has made my drives more enjoyable. I can now use my phone to control music, and a lot more. There are some thing that could improve, but you can upgrade to the next level and get wireless apple car play, and more options. For my purposes this was the best. It also has a volume knob which makes a huge difference especially when you do not have steering wheel controls.

Fits in my 2006 Tacoma like a glove. Very good sound with the existing High Quality stock speakers. Apple CarPlay is really neat. I highly recommend this Digital Media Receiver.
