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.

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.

Great buy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome in dash radio. Bought for the apple carplay integration. Love that it also includes the usb port and aux on the front of the faceplate instead of wired from the back like many other similar products. 10/10 would buy again

No android auto
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife loves the receiver. I, however, find it to be discriminatory, as it has Apple Carplay but no android auto? I mean, Sony's phones are android. You would think their receivers would support their own phones. Someone in product and design really missed the mark.

Great upgrade!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great price for a fairly intuitive device. Does everything I need and fits the dash nicely. Only single drawback is the tiny volume dial.

I would recommend this to a friend Tiny button
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This head unit works well and looks good in the vehicle. Equalizer is a plus. Missed the 5 star because of a tiny volume knob. Like really tiny. Why there’s no volume control using the touch screen baffles.

Carplay almost works well on this radio
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installed 2 of these in my first gen Tacoma pickups. Installation. was straightforward, a good fit into the bay, and by reusing the support brackets, didn't require additional parts. It works pretty well but there is some confusion that happens when turned off and powered back up(such as when starting the engine). Carplay hangs, then apps like Pandora get stuck and don't play. Not sure if this is the radio or my phone, but otherwise all is well

This unit won't disappoint!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As it turns out, a 6.2" screen is kind of smallish in today's world, but beyond that, this is a great little aftermarket radio. When my wife sent me out to find a replacement radio for her Commander she specified it must have a knob. There aren't many radios around with knobs anymore, and I think this may be the best of the bunch. The Commander had a solid radio infrastructure; the Sony made it sound even better. Buy it if you can find it.
