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.

    My wife and I were really impressed with the service technician. He was instrumental in helping us find the best stereo system for our older model car. And when it came to installation, he was efficient and quick. He even took the time to help my 70 year old wife understand the many features of the system.

      Hi ElRoy,

      It’s rewarding to hear that the XAV-AX1000 was a great fit for your daughter's Jeep! We are so glad she is enjoying the addition of Apple CarPlay to her daily drives. It is wonderful to know that this upgrade has made her time on the road more enjoyable.

      Thank you for choosing Sony.

      Regards,
      Dominick Sony_US

    I was shopping around for a car receiver for my daughter's 2010 Jeep Patriot. After doing a lot of research, I decided to purchase this model. Let's just say, it did not disappoint, my daughter loves it! I have installed quite a few receivers over the years, and this model was a breeze to install. Now my son wants one in his pickup.

    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

    Not sure these are the same quality as Sonys reputation but overall a great stereo. Installed in an older Yukon Denali and it sounds amazing with the factory Bose amp and subwoofer, upgraded the door speakers to Sony as well.
