    CarPlay/Android auto works only when plugged in, with a wiring harness adapter it was pretty self explanatory to hook up myself.

    Best bang for your buck. You can’t go wrong with this unit. I checked prices at other stores and even eBay couldn’t touch Best Buy’s price. I highly recommend this radio.

    I ended up trading for a larger screen in my rv. I reviewed the radio and decided that while had great specs a larger screen could be fitted in my rv.

      Hi, BryanC,

      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!

    Apple CarPlay integration and price point were my main motives for buying this unit. Having back-up camera input was also key. Display is great. GUI is simple and straight forward. Bluetooth mic sound quality is good.

    Put this in my 2011 Escape and I love it! So convenient with the Apple CarPlay features and I’m sure the same with google. Have had it in my car a little over a year with no issues.
