Almost perfect, but happy with what I did get.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, very impressed with this unit. Far superior to the Pioneer unit it replaced. I really liked the external buttons for volume. Not having to use the touch screen for everything is a bonus. The only issues I found were the equalizer has presets for the type of music you listen to that you cannot adjust, fortunately you can create a custom setting. The Weblink cast function I did not care for. You have to download an app on your phone to use. I was unable to get it show anything on the screen and it greatly degrades the sound when using bluetooth to listen to music from my phone. Deleting the app was a win in my book. All in all a nice receiver at a good price.

Good radio. Gets the job done
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this radio. Easy to install! I have had difficulty installing the backup camera, but that is because I didn't want the cord to be showing through the car, if you dont mind the cord then it is really easy.

Works as Intended
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fast user interface. Android Auto works without any issues. The only issue I had with it was adjusting the reverse camera guide lines. It feels like it has limited adjustability. I couldn't get the lines where I wanted them. Outside of that, the device works without any issues after over a month of use.

Would consider splurging for the wireless version
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a good unit, though it can be hard to see the screen while it’s bright outside. Otherwise, good deal and having Best Buy install it was very convenient.

Quality purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a new receiver for my daughter’ car. This was a great choice thanks to the Apple Car Play integration. The GPS app is handy as well as the other hand-off screen functions. The only thing that would make it better is a roll-up volume knob as opposed to buttons.

This Sony unit is great for Apple CarPlay
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit was on sale for $299 when I purchased it, and I have always had a favorable opinion of Sony. So I had Best Buy install this in my Kia Optima. So far, it's been a good unit. Though I will say the matte display concerned me at first. But it has held up well and doesn't collect fingerprints like I thought it would. I really only use Apple CarPlay on this unit, the other features work fine though, I just don't use them. I would recommend this unit, the screen is a good size, though not the biggest. I am happy with this unit for the car it went into, it was the right price.

Radio fine. Service Lacking. Might need to return
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The jury is still out on this one. I waited a month, I spent about an hour and a half trying to get any service at Best Buy so that someone can direct me to buy the correct radio. I was told to buy this radio I was told I have to wait a month before I can get service. I waited and then when I picked it up 2 hours later they said oh you're going to have to come back and maybe it'll be 3 hours before we get your rear camera hooked up to this radio and then I said what about my CD player down here in the TV etc and they said oh no none of that comes with your Sony radio and I said you told me that I wasn't going to get GPS on my new radio you didn't say that all the other stuff that was hooked up to my Factory radio is not part of this. So I'm not sure why I spent $600. to get a radio. I could have spent $100 to get a radio and he said oh you got a little remote here so in case somebody sitting in the back of the van that wants to work your radio that's when it's a little remote is for so needless to say I'm not happy. not happy that I have to leave a sick mother at home for another 3 hours while they service my vehicle, not happy that I'm not sure that I can even trust them to do that because why wouldn't they have told me that the first time? Why would I spend an hour and a half to get a radio that has none of the amenities of the other radio I had previously and this is with the actual installer selecting this radio for me. I don't know what his name is. Tim? And some other sales person that had no idea what he was doing in Best Buy.
