Perfect radio
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this radio for the Apple Car Play feature for our new driver. We have an older car, and this radio is perfect for the driver to answer calls hands free, but more importantly, to be able to use the navigation from the phone.

Awesome
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my husband for Hanukkah. He's just moved to town and his car stereo wasn't Bluetooth equipped. He'd been talking about how he hated trying to figure out where to put his phone so he could see the navigation. Thad was a perfect solution. He loves the apple play and the big display screen.

Great Little Headunit
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this headunit for a 14 year old car and it has thoroughly transformed my experience. I enjoy it immensely. For the most part it works well. I do have one issue however. When you plug the phone into the unit the carplay app pops up and the head unit goes into carplay mode. Sometimes this fails. I have found that if I do a hard reset of the phone (hold down the home and (oh what is the name of that other button) to reset the phone it then works as it should. At least this is what I did the last time this issue came up. My suspicion is that this is an iPhone problem rather than a head unit problem but I can't be 100% sure. Finally, in order to have a better experience, I recommend getting a cord with a right angle on the USB end. That way it does not protrude from the head unit as much as regular Thunderbolt cables without the right angle. Finally, Finally. . . it was the most inexpensive unit I could find from a reputable brand!

Overall Pretty Good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Like the product and all the features it offers especially the car play. The only issue I've had so far is the car play crashed and wouldn't come up until the radio was turned off and then back on. I could only find a way to do this by shutting the car off.

Amazing sound quality!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this system to replace the broken stereo in our 2005 CRV and man do we love it! Not only is it a tremendous upgrade, but the sound output is incredible, it’s easy to use and we especially love the in-dash navigation. Sure is nice to have the ability to make hands-free phone calls now too. Makes our older car feel like a whole new vehicle.

Simple, intuitive & great!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Simple, intuitive, dependable - It has a lot more features than my standard Subaru head unit so replacing it with this one was an easy decision instead of getting a new factory unit. Apple car play is really helpful and wonderful. Overall, great purchase.

Great radio for older cars
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great radio to add CarPlay and other modern audio capabilities to an older car. Everything works great including rear camera functionality. I've had no issues and hope this lasts as long as my other Sony products. It's been a year and everything still works great.

Tiny button
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This head unit works well and looks good in the vehicle. Equalizer is a plus. Missed the 5 star because of a tiny volume knob. Like really tiny. Why there’s no volume control using the touch screen baffles.

Good sound and great value unit
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Replaced factory radio it has great output and sound quality is very good. You can use the factory EQ setting or adjust to your own sounds. The only draw back I can find so far is you are unable to dim the screen at night
