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.

I WILL NEVER BUY SONY AGAIN!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely disgusted with this radio. The CarPlay only connects about 65% of the time and I’m using a brand new genuine Apple cord. In an experiment in our other vehicle using the same cord, my phone connects 100% of the time. So, obviously this radio is garbage and now I’m out $317 because I can’t return it. I will never by Sony again!

Posted .Hi LawrenceB,
We sincerely apologize for the frustrating experience you're having with your XAV-AX1000 radio and the intermittent Apple CarPlay connection. We understand how important reliable connectivity is and it's certainly not the experience we want you to have with our product.
Let's try a few troubleshooting steps that often resolve these kinds of issues:
-Ensure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS.
-Please check the current firmware version on your XAV-AX1000. You can find this in the Settings > General > Firmware Version menu on the unit. For detailed information, please check this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/mobile-cd-players-digital-media-players-xav-series/xav-ax1000/software/00274569
-While you mentioned trying a new cable, it's worth testing with another one if possible, just to rule out any subtle cable inconsistencies.
We also recommend checking with a professional car audio installer. They can diagnose if there are any issues with the installation itself, such as power fluctuations or wiring problems, which can sometimes affect connectivity.
If these steps don't resolve the issue, or if you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact our technical support team at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=car
Thank you for being a valued Sony customer and for letting us know about this issue.
Sincerely,
Estefany
