A Fine Radio & More
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very pleased with this Sony uprade for my '12 Jeep Wrangler. Love the easy interface with Apple Car Play. Gave it 4 stars instead of 5 solely because the the lightning cable must be direct connected to the unit rather than the one in the console, or wirelessly thru Bluetooth. Small price to pay for a major upgrade though.

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!

Very pleased
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, I love this. I've seen the reviews about the screen being slow to respond, or not bright enough and I haven't had these issues. Plug in the lightning cable and CarPlay fires right up. Unlike the radio this unit replaced, it sounds better, is responsive and does exactly what it's supposed to do. For the money I highly recommend.

Great
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great radio and a good value if you want CarPlay with a name brand unit. Biggest selling point to me was the physical volume knob. I have had an issue with the knob not working occasionally, and it requires restarting the car. No other issues

Rocks hard
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not sure these are the same quality as Sonys reputation but overall a great stereo.
