Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the 6.2" - Apple CarPlay - Built-in Bluetooth - In-Dash Digital Media Receiver is a great radio, especially praising its Apple CarPlay integration, sound quality, and ease of use. The inclusion of a volume knob and a responsive touch screen are also appreciated. However, some customers have noted the absence of a rear USB port and occasional connectivity issues.

    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 !

    Connects quickly to my phone via Bluetooth, the CarPlay is very nice and clear and it’s a great upgrade! The only thing I would dock for is the screen, it needs a harder touch to change the song or change from Bluetooth to CarPlay.

    Good unit for the price

    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.

    Good product. Free install isn’t legit

    Product good. You don’t need the Sirius XM unit they include. Free Install is useless. BB has few installers and schedules months out. We went elsewhere, so cost more

    A miracle for an iPhone user

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is a godsend for an iPhone owner with an old car. The fact that this super-modern device could be installed in my 20 year old Honda catapulted my driving into the 21st century. Now I have GPS and access to my music collection without a pile of fragile CD's. Cost me more to install it than to buy it, but worth every penny so far. The combination of the device's smarts with the iPhone's with Car Play can't be beat.

    Nice features for the $$ but CarPlay fails

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I really like the design and features this stereo has for the money but I can't get the CarPlay feature to work consistently. I had this installed in May 2019 and I can get the CarPlay to activate about 1 out of 10 tries. I've tried several different cables but have to plug and unplug to eventually get it to recognize the phone. Frustrating as that is the main reason I bought this unit. I've seen multiple people mention some POSSIBLE firmware update but haven't seen a true resolution yet. I hate to return this but this is a real turn off. I posted a video to youtube showing the CarPlay feature failing to render on-screen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYWoOwZcDhY
