    Massive improvement over the factory stereo sound. I love Apple car play on this as well. Does everything I need it to do. The only thing I can think of that’ll make it better would be the ability to run Android auto on here as well.

    This stereo is great! We replaced an old AM/FM CD player with this system and now have bluetooth, Apple carplay, and a colorful screen. This sustem is very simple to operate and works perfectly!

    Replaced the stereo in my 2008 Audi, I've been very pleased with the Sony unit. Controls are easy to use (I like having a real knob), it integrated well with my existing steering wheel controls. Touch screen works well.

    I just have the unit for a week but I am more then happy with this Sony, worth every penny I was pay for it. I’ve jab another Sony before in my f150 and all connections was plug and play and took me less then 10 min to do the swap. Highly recommend this unit for price and quality.

    I upgrade the stock radio on my 06 civic with this Sony unit and it’s incredible! I plug my iphone on it and it goes straight to Pandora. Excellent sound quality and very easy to use. I also hooked up a back up camera onto the stereo and the picture quality is clear as day light.

    It's a good head unit for any vehicle that you are wanting to being into the modern era, Apple CarPlay works seemlessly and it's easy plug and play design makes it that much better... The fact that it doesn't have a mic is a bit of an inconvenience though.

    Simple to install in a Corolla. Make sure to pick up all the metra adapters. Like having a dial instead for volume control. Store employee and manager at Colma, CA store we’re phenomenal. Apple CarPlay is hands down one of the best features.

    This deck is truly amazing. It has great features, the Apple CarPlay works seamlessly with my iPhone, and the quality of the sound is what I used to expect from top decks like Alpine. What a bargain!

    I was I. The market to upgrade my son’s car stereo from standard to CarPlay. It’s the first time I’ve done this since over 30 years. The product is amazing!! It’s got better stereo quality and sound than the one that came with the car! The touchscreen was an added bonus!! My son is thrilled to be upgraded to the CarPlay and that too by Samsung!! I’m a huge fan of Samsung products!! When I’m in any doubt about a product, Samsung saves the day!! Thanks you to BestBuy for an excellent customer experience!!

    If you’re looking to make your old 1990s-2010’s vehicle relive their youth, then this is the radio for you, absolutely love this radio, it has Apple CarPlay which is a must with literally almost everyone owning one, (sorry it doesn’t have android auto) and it really make a difference from your old stock radio, I know it’s not that cheap but it really beats out all Bluetooth transmitters. You’re not going to throw away your money with this one, it’s an investment. I definitely recommend to amp up your vehicles entertainment system with this one.

      Thank you for the great review, Anthony!

      We’re so glad to hear that the XAV-AX1000 was an easy install and that you’re finding the interface intuitive to use. Since Apple CarPlay was your main reason for the upgrade, it’s awesome to know it's working flawlessly for you—there’s nothing like having your navigation and music right there on the dash. We hope it makes every drive much more enjoyable! Thank you for choosing Sony!
