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.

    Unit was priced reasonably, sounds better than my Toyota OEM stereo and simple to navigate. Love USB PLUG on face of the unit, so phone sits above in the ac vent and only need 9 inch cable.

      Hi, CarterW,

      Thanks for the review and the 5-stars rating! Navigate your smartphone without taking your hands off the wheel with this Sony 6.2-inch media receiver. Compatible with Apple CarPlay, this media center allows for smartphone integration with voice control. Drive up to four 55W outputs with the Dynamic Reality Amp, and simulate a dashboard speaker source by calibrating output frequencies with the Dynamic Sound Organizer. This Sony 6.2-inch media receiver connects easily to your phone to access traffic information, check emails or make calls.

      Thanks for choosing Sony, have an amazing day!

    Bought this for my husbands birthday. He really loves what he is able to do with it. Since he as an older vehicle this worked great having the backup camera that he didn't have before and hands free phone options.

    This is the best money I have spent on my old car! Built in navigation with Apple Maps, seamless integration with CarPlay, gorgeous display, hands free dialing with my IPhone, not to mention great sound..so much more than a mere car stereo. I love it!

    Simple interface and intuitive controls. I like that the USB port is positioned on the front of the receiver instead of running a cord through the back of the glove compartment. It’s just really easy to use and it works really well.

    I had a basic stock system that was 20 years old. Now I am living the dream. Love my receiver. It does exactly what I wanted, which is to be able to play my phone's music without having to hook up to an FM transmitter....

    I took the recommendation of a Best Buy employee to get this radio. It was affordable, a lot less expensive than other choices, and it has been a great addition to my Xterra truck. I am very pleased with its functionality and touch screen ease.

    This product was a significant improvement from the original stereo in my 20 year old BMW. The Apple Carplay feature is excellent. For the money, this is a great investment. I feel like I have a new car.
