I would recommend this to a friend no rear usb
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the specifications say it has a rear facing usb input, but it actually doesn't. only reason i went with this option was to run the cable behind the dash to hide the cable. just to find out it doesn't even have one like as they advertised

Meh, get the AXVAX3250 instead.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros. It’s an affordable Apple Car play stereo, with good sound. Cons. 1. Dim display with no way to manually adjust brightness. 2. Glitchy and slow interface 3. No skip song buttons -which are helpful when using navigation. Have to go back and forth just to skip a song is insane. 4. No rear USB for custom routing to console.

Huge disappointment
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can't recommend this receiver. I put a Pioneer in my other car and had a few issues with how it reads files from the USB and the tiny volume buttons so I thought I would try Sony this time. The volume knob is great, exactly what I was looking for and the touch screen is SLIGHTLY better, but everything else is worse. It doesn't seem to support more than one phone. So every time drivers switch we have to set up the bluetooth connection again unless we want to plug in and use carplay. The wireless carplay dongle I got for my other car is not supported on the Sony. It also won't support a USB hub so that I can plug in a USB stick along with a USB cable. When I first put my music USB in it worked fine. But now I get an error saying there are no playable files. If you just want plug-in carplay functionality you'd probably be alright with this. But there are better options in the same price range.

Posted .Hi Joel,
Thank you for your feedback on the XAV-AX1000. We are sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate your detailed review.
We understand your frustration with the Bluetooth connectivity and the lack of support for multiple phones. The XAV-AX1000 is designed to provide seamless connectivity, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused. The easy way to switch the phone connected is to turn off the Bluetooth connection on the connected phone and select to connect from the other phone. No need to pair again or setup again.
Regarding the wireless CarPlay dongle and USB hub support, the XAV-AX1000 has specific compatibility requirements, and we regret that it did not meet your needs in this aspect. For the issue with the USB music files, it might be helpful to reformat the USB drive and ensure the files are in a supported format.
