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.

      Hi Aimeer,

      Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the features of the XAV-AX1000 didn't align with your expectations for your Android phone. We understand how important it is for a head unit to integrate seamlessly with your mobile device.

      The XAV-AX1000 was primarily designed with Apple CarPlay connectivity in mind, but it does support Android phones through Bluetooth audio streaming and hands-free calling. This allows you to listen to music, podcasts, and take calls from your Android device through the stereo. While it may not offer the same app-based control and display as Apple CarPlay, we hope you can still get great use out of its core Bluetooth features.

      Thanks for choosing Sony, have a good day!

    I bought this to replace the stereo in my 2010 silverado. Fits flush and is a good upgrade Cons- no off switch. You cant turn it off unless you turn off the car. Ive never seen such a thing which leads to problem 2. Since i dint have a backup cam sometimes it goes to video mode when i backup, eventhough it is bypassed as it should be, and it will not go back to regular mode. Fortunately i have found if you plug in your phone and go to carplay it will exit video mode. Other than that it is fine.
