    Very Easy to use, snappy interface and stock look. Don’t buy the Metra dash kit for this unit, knob will be too deep to use properly. Stick with Scosche instead.

    Upgrade over factory system

    Nice upgrade over original factory system. Unfortunately the unit is more recessed and not flush mounted in the dash. This causes the volume knob to be more difficult to access. Sound quality is great. The screen is fairly basic as it does not display cover art from my Bluetooth music player. Backup camera display is great!

    I wanted to add a rear view camera added to my car, and I liked the feature that this stereo had 3 camera options. So, in the future, I will be using them as well. The EQ band settings are also great. The only two downers that, for some reason that may be attributed to the 3rd party installers, the clock setting does not hold its time when I set it. Also, I am not too much of a fan of the delay time that the unit takes to start and display the warning message. Other than that, this dash unit does more than what I had on my want list. It's a good buy.

    This touch screen radio is easy to use like an iPhone and it has apple car play. Android something too! Dvd, Cd, SiriusXM with subscription, google maps,Bluetooth to talk while driving, and much more. I LIKE IT! Especially compared to the 18 year old radio I replaced in my BMW X5. Highly recommend

    I put this in my truck and love it. BT is easy to connect to, made the stock speakers sound so much better. the installer hooked me up and ran wires to install and amp and subs. Overall very pleased with it. I have not used the android auto app or anything yet.

    Does a lot for an average radio

    Typical touch screen radio. It fits perfectly, it is pretty easy to figure out. It does the job and after adding amps, it sounds better. If you are a sound guy/girl, this might not be the radio for you. If you looking for a radio that does satellite, CD, DVD, FM, AM, Bluetooth and has an EQ - then this is the bad boy for you

    Bought this Sony stereo and had it installed to replace a factory stereo. Got it on sale @ Best Buy. What a great car stereo! Love the display and how easy it is to use. The old fashioned volume turn knob is fantastic. A feature that other stereos don’t have. Now this is the way to enjoy music in a vehicle. Just touch and scroll to your desire. Must say Tony at Best Buy Matthews did a fantastic job with the installation! Kudos to him! Overall extremely pleased!!!

    The first one I installed had issues with the display. Best Buy was very good about sending me a replacement stereo no questions asked. The second one works fantastic. I love how it is compatible with Waze! I had a long 3300 mile road trip and it never faulted. Very happy! Also very happy I got the volume knob. Worth the extra money!!!!

    I had spent silly money trying to figure out a fiberoptic problem in my old Merc. In the end, when specials and financing coincided, it was more cost effective to bypass the amp and go with this Sony unit which sounds great and has been a delight to use ever since. Finally, tunes in my vehicle!

    What a great receiver! Love it!!! The old school volume control knob is a great feature that blends a lot of new school features. Great looking system with easy to use touchscreen control features! Got it on sale at Best Buy and after much research I can say, it’s worth every dollar. Get it; you won’t regret it one bit!!!

    good android auto unit, but has issues

    VERY good tuner. Sensitive. Voice interface shaky. Works for google apps... but that's it. Want to control XM radio? Forget it. Want to play MP3? The DVD won't do it. And the MP3 player won't respond to voice.. google music only. And the power output is obviously faked. I have high end 8 ohm speakers... the Sony won't drive them fully without distortion. Some buyers remorse here. But my previous unit was without GPS updates and no android link.

    Has a great interface and great amp which improved the quality of my speakers even when I thought they couldn’t get much better. Car play is a great feature and the Bluetooth also works just as well allowing for friends to connect and share their music. Highly recommend!

    Sony system sounds great on older minivan. Only problem is the steering wheel controls don't work, presumably because of age of van.
