Customers are saying
Customers express satisfaction with the Apple CarPlay integration, sound quality, and ease of use of this 6.2" in-dash digital media receiver. Many also appreciate the inclusion of a volume knob and the functionality of the touchscreen. Positive feedback was also given for the backup camera and the fit of the unit. A common complaint, however, concerned the limited placement of USB ports.

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

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.

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

Posted .Hi JustinQ,
We are sorry to hear that the Apple CarPlay connection is suddenly failing after less than a year, as that is a critical feature of the receiver. This connection issue can often be resolved with a simple reset. Please try pressing and holding the HOME button on the stereo for about 10 seconds until the unit fully reboots. If that does not resolve the issue, try using a different, high-quality Apple-certified Lightning cable, as connection issues are often caused by cable failure. If the problem continues, you may need to update the stereo's firmware to ensure compatibility with your current iOS version, and you can find the latest update on the Sony support page for your model.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

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 Apple car play
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony Apple car play is awesome device, i had totaltech and got free installation with back up camera on my RAV4, 2011. Now, my car is brand new and I have the device I need.
I would recommend this to a friend 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.
