Good Features with Apple Car Play
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking to replace my Honda's manufacturer stereo system for my CRV, and quickly caught onto the XAV-AX1000. Also, having Apple's CarPlay feature is the best touch. Screen works well and the sound quality is really good as well. It's definitely a no frills model. The volume is different between Bluetooth audio, Apple CarPlay audio, and the radio. So you can't set-and-forget the volume if you rotate between different audio sources often. Having a dial for the volume makes this an easy adjustment - but I wish I didn't have to make the adjustment at all.

Good sound...and good value!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good sound quality...good price too! No CD player, which my wife doesn’t like but I’ve encouraged her to come out of the past as it does have a front access USB port.

Nice upgrade for my old car
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice upgrade for my 2000 Mercury. I purchased a backup camera and had it installed with the unit all at once. Apple Car Play works great so far just plug in the phone and it brings up your phone screen. Nothing difficult about using it; works just like the screen in my new car. Very snug fit in the dash for my car so its better to leave the installation to the professionals. The installer cracked the screen on mine so they had to order another one and install it a week later.

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

Budget Friendly Sony Car Stereo w. Apple CarPlay
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Price was good on this Sony car stereo. No real complaints for the first couple of weeks of use. It is fairly basic and that is okay. Not a complaint on that and did not expect much more for the price. Given that we stream most of our music and such from our phones, the Apple CarPlay was probably the most desired feature along with the connectivity to our steering wheel controls and a future rear view camera. Great service installation too.
