Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the 6.2" - Apple CarPlay - Built-in Bluetooth - In-Dash Digital Media Receiver is a great radio, especially praising its Apple CarPlay integration, sound quality, and ease of use. The inclusion of a volume knob and a responsive touch screen are also appreciated. However, some customers have noted the absence of a rear USB port and occasional connectivity issues.

    I purchased this item for my daughter’s car, and it is working beautifully. It’s the perfect thing for a new driver to not only have improved sound quality and more listening options but a screen to show what is behind her when a camera is installed, as we had done.

    This was installed and seemed to work well. Unfortunately it had to be exchanged when it was discovered that this model doesn't support Android Auto. The young man who facilitated the exchange was very helpful. We would have been happy with this stereo if we needed Apple Car Play. So I writing to recommend it for Apple users and to recommend the very helpful installation services.

    Very pleased with the Sony head unit. Installed in a 2008 Honda Civic LX coupe witch brought the car closer to current standards for infotainment. Had SXM, backup camera and with the very good tuner section and Apple CarPlay connected to my iPhone the improves is awesome. Great service from the geek squad installers as well.

    This radio is a nice replacement for the stock radio in my 2005 Honda Element. The volume knob is a little small and the store didn’t have the part needed to activate my satellite radio function. Overall, recommended.

    My husband's car had a stock radio in it. His mom and I wanted to get him a receiver that put in android auto for a safer way to stream podcasts, music and view Google maps. This looks great and performs great, just like what I have in my newer car, except his is wireless and connects automatically via Bluetooth. Had it installed by Best Buy as well and the process was smooth and easy.
