Thumbs up overall
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this. Easy to use. The dictation is not the best it cuts me off almost every single time and I’ve had to buy several cords for the apply play to stay connected. The screen is so bright even when the dimmer is on.

Great product
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works perfect better than any others I see them sell. My only complaint is that when using CarPlay your maps is forced onto the radio screen instead of your phone. Some people might like it but it’s inconvenient for me other than that I love it.

Sony 6.2
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent radio. Works as described. Easy to install with the correct dash kit. Only down fall is you have to buy a extra satellite tuner for Sirus XM due to being only satellite ready.

Excellent stereo
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a huge hit for daughters first car. She loved it. I loved that it has apple play so she can use it as gps and have hands free driving. She really liked that it had a knob for easy volume change over the small buttons some new stereos have

Great unit
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good unit here from Sony. The screen quality is great and it’s super easy to install and set up. The only complaint I have is when it’s sunny out the screen is washed out. Perhaps an anti glare screen protector would be a good idea. Otherwise a fantastic CarPlay unit

Upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was an upgrade for the stock radio. Car play works very well, and I like that it has a volume knob. The screen does seem to get washed out in bright sunlight.

Cannot imagine driving without one!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased for my 2010 Honda Accord. Installed myself with a mounting bracket I purchased on Amazon since its never available on Best Buy's website. The only difficult part of installation was crimping the wiring harness together. Quality is fine, has the front usb port (no rear usb unfortunately), only issue and this could be my own fault is when connecting your iPhone, you have to do it when your phone is locked. Can get annoying sometimes having to replug in from the stereo. Screen responsiveness is alright. Can be pretty jittery swiping back and forth very fast. Touch resistive is meh. Cannot pinch to zoom in maps. All this aside you do get what you pay for and I'd much rather spend the $300 compared to $1000+ for a wireless CarPlay experience. Way better than my stock car stereo. Worth every penny.
