Great Radio for the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this radio because it has CarPlay, so it connects to my iPhone. It is very good and responsive. Has a touch screen and works seamlessly with my iPhone. I can navigate using maps or Waze and listen to my music. Siri can read my texts or reply to them hands free through the car. I love it. Bestbuy installed it for free!!!

Great.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a stereo with a knob for volume, that had Apple CarPlay, I know it might sound ridiculous but it quite hard to find one, I’m no expert at this, but there are many good reviews on YouTube to check out.

Great with Apple CarPlay
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great radio. I added a rear camera and use it as backup camera on my car. CarPlay for iPhones intergrates with is so one can see maps and texts among other things on it. It does NOT have the Android Auto so Android phone will have a basic interface.

Perfect upgrade from the OEM
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This radio is simple to use and has everything needed. It’s the perfect affordable upgrade. I looked at more expensive radios but decided this was a major upgrade from the original factory radio. I couldn’t be more pleased.

Good upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the third one of these units I've bought. We've installed them in all three of our family cars and are so pleased with each of them. Two were installed through Best Buy, the third we did ourselves since BB installation wasn't an option any longer. I'd definitely recommend the units- for the price, they're a fantastic upgrade for an older, outdated receiver. We have them in a 2013 VW Passat, a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer, and a 2021 Toyota Sequoia, and it's great when we need to swap or share cars to have the same system that works reliably every time.

Excellent stereo, great price!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent stereo. CarPlay feature is very nice. Good build quality and software menus. Good clean sound. Put in Lexus sc430, nice complement! Was able to wire to factory amplifiers and high end speakers for amazing clarity and sound. Very happy with my purchase.

Great Buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installed in a MK4 VW. I chose it of course for carplay but also for the volume knob and its simple options. If you going for a head unit that has ability to customize every sound and equalizer option, this aint the one.

Apple car plqy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This radio is unbeatable if you are looking for apple car play. I have owned a lot of radios And this head unit is the best I have ever owned! Very user friendly and simple to use. Only thing that I dislike is that it does not have a slot for cd’s. But that is not a deal breaker. Highly recommend this radio.

Very good radio
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good radio, easy to use and intuitive. Apple Car with cable, the only criticism of the radio, but for the year of the radio, it's fine.

Great Head Unit..for a really nice price.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice radio to put in my son's 1989 Firebird Formula.....Despite what you hear, this radio DOES FIT in the cavity left by the factory radio. Sony unit has Carplay which is essential for safe texting and calling....GPS guidance via carplay and the ability to get the great SiriusXM service. Hooked this up with an 8 inch Kicker HS8 and new front and back Kicker speakers and we would not be anymore satisfied.

Great sound

Posted .Hi KyleC,
It is fantastic to know that you’ve returned to the XAV-AX1000 for your second vehicle! There is no higher compliment than a repeat purchase, and we are thrilled that this head unit has become your go-to choice for staying connected on the road.
While this model is known for its responsive 6.2-inch touchscreen and seamless Apple CarPlay integration, it also offers incredible audio flexibility with its built-in 4 x 55W amplification and EXTRABASS™ circuitry. This ensures that even in different car environments, you're getting clear, punchy sound that overcomes engine noise. Its compact rear chassis also makes it a favorite for easy installation across a wide variety of vehicles, which we hope made your second setup just as smooth as the first.
Thank you for your loyalty and for once again making Sony the soundtrack to your drive.
Regards,
Dominick

Simple & Safe
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Apple car play allows for a full hands-off experience. It is very simple to use, just say “Siri, play Apple Music” Or “Siri send text to..” and she does everything. I’m a college student doing tons of travel so being able to access my maps through the radio makes everything much more safe.
