Excellent head unit
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent head unit, this was one of the cheapest but better looking radios available. I got it because it met my requirements of Apple CarPlay, a nob, touchscreen, name brand, backup camera ready, and a look that would be oem looking in my car. Overall very satisfied and it is much loader than my original unit

Posted .Thank you for your review, ThripleH!
We are so pleased to hear that you love your XAV-AX1000 car receiver! It's great to know that the physical volume knob is a feature you enjoy—we included it for quick, intuitive control while driving, so your feedback is wonderful to hear.
It's also fantastic that you are enjoying the functionality of both XM Radio and Apple CarPlay. We agree that the wired connection for CarPlay provides a stable link and that quality audio experience you prefer.
Thank you again for choosing Sony to upgrade your driving experience!
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

Major major go
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic unit recommended by the Best Buy installers. I put this in my 06 Camry after a failed 9” boss that performed miserably. My sound improved considerably from my last unit and the stock receiver. My only complaints are, I wish it was bigger and the volume knob is really small but I do love the fact that it has one and the price was amazing for the quality you get.

Fit like a dream in 1999 Toyota Camry
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The installation for this radio was super simple. Fit right in the chassis for the existing radio and offers Apple CarPlay. I wasn't sure if it's the Radio or just the lack of good air conditioning in the car but my iPhone gets pretty warm/hot when using the radio. Most likely because it's using your location constantly for the GPS. Overall, the features are great, radio works perfectly, music through my iPhone works perfectly. Overall a solid investment.

Had to replace my 2DIN Radio
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My 2 DIN radio died so Ray suggested the Sony unit. Installation was included but,upon installation, Ray noted the amplifier to my subwoofer had been disconnected. He restored the audacious sound to my 20 year old Mercedes. Thank you Ray for your salesmanship and expert installation acumen! Got another car with 20 year old Bose system. I’ll get it replaced by Best Buy! Thanks again!
