Customer Ratings & Reviews

I loved the knob for volume instead of the button options to control volume, easy to set up, great price for the item.

The Sony XAV-AX1000 is a great stereo. It looks neat and clean and gave my car a fresh look. The interface is simple and the touch screen worked great. The sound was amazing and the Car Play feature was why I bought this stereo. Definitely would recommend!

Highly Recommend. I don't usually go for fancy gadgets in my car. My car is old enough that it came stock with a CD player. I bought this stereo so that I could use apple car play. This unit is a bargain, considering it's from a reputable brand. This product is easy to use. The touch screen is responsive. It's easy to clean and I like that it includes some physical buttons and a volume knob. This makes it easy to turn off quickly. The install was fast and the customer service was outstanding.

This is the second Sony AX100 that I have purchased. The CarPlay functionality, especially for the price, is fantastic. The first one, that I bought six months prior, was slightly better in my opinion, because of the ability to import a custom photo on the background (vehicle manufacturer logo really makes it look stock) and the newer model only has USB access on the front vs. only on the back (I prefer to conceal my cables). That said, the ability to have CarPlay or Android Auto functionality for such a low price is worth it. The unit looks good and easy to operate. My speakers never sounded so good.

Amazing stereo! I installed it myself and it was really simple. Works fantastic with Apple CarPlay and the mic that comes with it works great. I cannot express how convenient it is to have maps and music all in the same display. 10/10

I love everything about this radio!! It’s user friendly. I love that it has a knob for the volume. The screen size is good and Apple CarPlay is awesome!

Nice upgrade for the outdated radio on our 2006 Ford E-350. Now we have ApplePlay, Navigation and Backup camera on one screen. It fits perfectly into the dashboard and looks like OEM

Works as expected. Was a little more than I wanted to spend but installation is included and that is awesome. It only took them about 25 minutes.

Overall, I am very pleased with this product! I wanted to update my 2005 Camry and this was the solution. Music and phone calls are loud and clear, easy to use CarPlay, and decent graphics. The free installation from the Geek Squad was a nice bonus and only took about an hour for my car. Next step will be the backup camera.

Sounds amazing, easy to navigate menus. Bluetooth connects fast. Also has a remote for when you’re tailgating lol

Nice upgrade for vehicles with out a navigation system. One small issue with phone connection; sometimes, when first connecting it needs to be unplugged and plugged back in to make the connection. Once it’s made there is no issue.

It’s a great value. Bluetooth works great. Adding the back up camera is a recommended add. Touch screen is a plus. All around great product. In-line with Sony quality

I've only had it a week, but so far so good. good sound, works well with Apple CarPlay. Would probably rate it higher once I get to figure all the function out.

I love my new radio and Apple Car Play. Overnight my 2012 RAV4 came into the 2020's! If I were to do anything differently I would have done wireless. "Just one more thing" to plug in. Sometimes I have to plug in/unplug/ plug back in... connection isn't always perfect- so it doesn't always initiate on the first plug-in.

The radio was installed at my local Best Buy. It went into a 2003 F150. Installation was fast and the finished product looks great. Be aware of some of the short comings of this unit. ! bluetooth device at a time. Older Ipods, those with the control wheel, will NOT operate through the USB connection. The only way to use them is through the AUX connection. With that being said, the sound has been great. EQ settings are easy to access, even one you can adjust. I have a small sub woofer working and it does great. The readout is large and clear, but lack of info on the AUX input is disappointing. With an appropriately newer IPhone, all this will propably be addressed. Overall, a very good system with great sound.

Never had a single issue with this radio. I own 2 of them now for both of my cars and they are extremely easy to hook up especially for subwoofer systems. Really good for the price.

Works goo, but sometimes freezes. Apple carplay is very useful. Physical volume wheel is huge plus Pretty unfortunate placement of the USB output. Hard t reach to the volume if USB is plugged in . There is NO rear USB port!!! phone quality is really bad. Microphone pick us a lot of internal / extraneous noise.

Love the CarPlay and equalizer customization on this, pairs great with a subwoofer

This is an upgrade added to my old pickup, which my son now has. We’re both working on 30 year old GM pickups, and the only downside is not the fault of the head unit. On this series of pickups, the factory head unit is way oddly shaped, and the upgrade has to mount in the center of the dash, where the cassette deck was. Despite being a bit of a reach, it’s easy to control, Apple CarPlay works a treat, and it brings a much-loved truck’s infotainment system up by 30 years.

This Sony radio is prefect for CarPlay, android auto, or just using Bluetooth. After installing the unit, the audio produced by my vehicles speakers was noticeably clearer and louder. I do wish the unit had an option for a USB port on the rear, instead of the front. Other Sony radios do, but this one has the very necessary volume knob. So this is what we got.
