    I drive an older vehicle to and from work...real old. It's a 2006 Pontiac which didn't have any capabilities. I'm so used to using the Apple CarPlay that I thought I would see if there were products that I could use. I purchased this Sony and had the people and Best Buy install it. I love it! Other than the old car, I feel very up to date with technology. Price was very fair for the item too.

    Had this installed in my 2016 jeep wrangler. So far i love it. Does everything it says for the most part. Cant figure out how to mirror it or upload my own back grounds. And the weblink host always thinks I'm in drive so that does nothing for me. I bought mainly for my maps and spotify and those work great.

    I bought this to replace the stock radio in our 2012 Scion XB for my son before he went to school. It has been a decent head unit overall. Apple Carplay (which we bought it for) works great. Integration looks good. The Best Buy install guys are the best IMHO. The loss of the star is for the lack of HD radio. It isn't a deal breaker, but it should be included.

    I purchased to upgrade the stereo in my 2012 Nissan Pathfinder. Best Buy installed for free. The installation rep Rey (Sunrise) went above and beyond helping us when a piece was missing for the installation to keep steering wheel controls. Very happy to have Apple Play in the car to be able to use phone hands free everything is clear and crisp. Everything sounds great very loud. Now old screen controls HVAC and new screen has all controls for stereo.

    Works as designed. Don’t anticipate any problems because of the brand name. Been using Sony since the 70’s whether it’s a TV, headset, Walkman, and now this car stereo. It’s nice, got it on sale. Very happy with the purchase and Best Buy installation
