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.

Great product. Highly recommended.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great unit. Sounds so much better than the stock radio. And it has a volume knob! Best Buy had a great price on this and I couldn’t be happier. Apple play is the bomb.

Smart, Intelligent Unit
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Did not buy from Best Buy, but this deck was recommended and ultimately installed in my car by another dealer. However, so far, I love this deck. I wanted an Apple Car Play unit and this does not disappoint. I love the Apple Car Play set up and having the controls available via the large screen. I also upgraded my car's system (replacing factory equipment) with new speakers, amp and sub. The sound I'm getting is outstanding. This deck is plenty of power to meet my specific needs. The interface is great and easy to navigate. I also love the front USB port for its convenience. I would recommend anyone giving this unit a look.

Been over 2 years now- flawless
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This radio has been great. I’ve had it for over 2 years, and it’s never had any issues whatsoever. Very responsive and quick to boot up. Never have any connectivity issues at al, and locates my phone via blue tooth immediately when getting into the car. I would surely purchase again

Great with Firmware Update
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've seen some people who have been frustrated with the unit - especially with CarPlay. Mine works very well. It came with the latest firmware issued February of 2019. If you don't have that you can download it from Sony's support site and install it. I have two complaints -- the screen is not glare resistant and the artist's names and song titles are in small print on the screen in satellite mode - you cannot adjust the font size for this and that should be an option.

Solid upgrade
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it for my son’s 2011 F150. Nice fit, looks great and a big upgrade over the original. He said one step was a little tricky but installation was pretty straightforward. He loves the features and the sound quality. A few weeks in -I’d buy it again

Great stereo upgrade.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great in my 03 Chevy Silverado. Nice Upgrade. It has Blue tooth and Apple Car Play. The only issue was the connection cabling was missing 12v to the radio acc input. I watched a video on YT, and fixed the issue. I installed it myself.

The “little radio than could “,
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the new radio for my older Honda. With all the great features of the new radio I feel like I’m driving a new car. Road maps for directions, more radio channels on the AM & FM bands ,plus all the pre- recorded music on my phone. It has more features great than I realized when I first considered buying it.

Excellent installer service!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product is as expected. More than the product was the service installer and his professionalism and willing to help me with understanding all this product's ins and outs. This young man was patient and so helpful with one of the geriatric generation. Thanks

Love Love Love !!!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gave my daughter a 2005 Toyota Camry. It was “old school”…tape cassette and CD player. She is thrilled to have this new Sony player in. The sound, access to maps and music form her phone. Wow! Best Buy did an awesome job installing. Thank you !
I would recommend this to a friend Good unit for the price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This head unit is amazing overall. It operates smoothly and doesn’t have any issues switching to CarPlay or back to regular radio and having the usb port right in the front makes it super convenient. My only issue with it is that during the day when it’s sunny out the display doesn’t get bright enough for me. You can still see it ok but it’s not bright like other vehicles I own.
