Good quality for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent quality, some background noise issues, back speakers don’t work with the system. We installed the system, it works well though sometimes on a call it has a lot of background noise (sounds like dialing into aol circa 1998) or calls drop. The map feature and everything else work great.

Posted .Hi LisaL,
Thank you for your review of the XAV-AX1000. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you find the overall quality and features satisfactory. Regarding the background noise issues during calls, this could be related to the connection method or the condition of the cables used. For a USB connection, we recommend using a new, shorter cable, preferably a Lightning® cable manufactured by Apple if you are using an iPhone. For wireless connections, try re-pairing your smartphone with the car stereo by deregistering the device from both the car stereo and the smartphone, then pairing them again.
If the problem continues or if you need further information or technical support, please do not hesitate to email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com. Kindly include the following details so we can assist you more effectively:

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.

Intuitive Functions
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My son bought this to have Apple CarPlay in his truck. It works good and looks good! The touch screen is responsive. One down side is the Bluetooth will only pair with one phone. Anyone else that drives the vehicle can use CarPlay though without setting up Bluetooth.

Solid entry level CarPlay unit
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you just need something with wired CarPlay that works, this is a good entry level option. I like that it has a volume dial. I got a right angle plug USB cable so that the cable doesn't get in the way of the dial. Minor complaint is that the screen is a little too dim for very bright days.

Nice Apple Car Play stereo and great service
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
