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 TheodoreB,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding the XAV-AX1000. We're sorry to hear about the connectivity issues you've experienced with the media receiver. The XAV-AX1000 is designed to deliver a smooth in-car entertainment experience, and we understand how disappointing it can be when it falls short of your expectations.

      To help resolve the connectivity problem, we recommend the following steps:
      1. Ensure that your device's firmware is up to date. For your convenience, you can find the latest updates at the following link:

      2. Confirm that your smartphone's Bluetooth settings are correctly configured and that it is within range.
      3. Look for any potential sources of interference that may be disrupting the Bluetooth connection.
      4. If your Bluetooth device is in a case that obstructs the signal, please remove the case while using the device.
      5. If there are multiple Bluetooth devices or other electronic equipment (such as ham radios) nearby that emit radio waves, consider:
      - Turning off those devices.
      - Increasing the distance between the unit and any other devices.

    The screen does not work well with polarized sun glasses. The usb port is very touchy and disconnects often. The phone speaker stopped working after two months.

    After having this installed about 2 months ago I came to the conclusion I probably wouldn’t buy it again. For one, the screen always seems to have a bad glare on it and makes it difficult to see even with the brightness all the way up. My Apple CarPlay no longer works either which I’m sure BestBuy would fix, but is still annoying that I have to come in and have it fixed after spending $280 and only have had for 2 months. And one last thing, this doesn’t have anything to do with the product itself but with the Best Buy install, they do give you a free install but won’t connect it to your steering wheel controls unless you pay for it, and they don’t ask you if you want it either which I think is kinda weird...

    Still fairly new item but so far it works well for basic things. I am not too happy with the flimsy screen. I would expect something more solid these days. I am also disappointed that carplay requires a physial connection. I would think bluetooth would be enough.
