Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the 6.2" - Apple CarPlay - Built-in Bluetooth - In-Dash Digital Media Receiver is a great radio, especially praising its Apple CarPlay integration, sound quality, and ease of use. The inclusion of a volume knob and a responsive touch screen are also appreciated. However, some customers have noted the absence of a rear USB port and occasional connectivity issues.

    Couldn't be happier with the unit. Great sound, very responsive, and fits perfectly in my Grand Cherokee thanks to the expert installation.

    Seemed great but wouldn’t connect correctly with harness. Might be that my car is just older, but I based it on recommendations of what would work with my car from Best Buy. A bit smaller than what I needed so needed to return or buy dash kit. Power connection was main issue though.

    Out in my 350z for a cleaner look. Very responsive touch screen. EQ is very difficult to understand if you don’t understand the frequency values. Other than that 10/10 would buy again!

    Nearly there. My few gripes is that the glare on the screen is normally so bad that I can’t see if, even at full brightness. The Auto-dimming doesn’t work, (unless if I didn’t set something up correctly? Same result after a factory reset). The touchscreen isn’t terrible, but isn’t as accurate as you’d like it to be.

    I had this installed in a 2000 Nissan Xterra that my high school age son drives. As a parent I am happy with the touch screen and hands free features. It makes the driving experience safer for the new driver!

    This is a drastic improvement over my stock radio. The touch screen is a little laggy, but otherwise no issues to report. Well worth the $250 price tag for an entry level radio with carplay.

      Hi KristyP, thank you so much for the great review! We couldn't be happier to hear that the Sony - XAVAX1000 was a perfect fit for your son's 1990 Miata and that he's loving it. Apple CarPlay brings a whole new level of convenience and connectivity. We really appreciate you choosing Sony and hope he enjoys every drive! Best regards, -Dominick Sony_US
