    I had a prior Sony that failed after about 7-8 years when the touch screen no longer worked, and this one is far superior. It was an easy install as I stayed within the same brand.

    The Sony stereo exceeded all of my expectations and does a great job inside my vehicle. The day of my install, everything went well, although we noted that the A-pillar cover, where the microphone line was run, was loose. Also, the tech said that he re-connected the analog clock that is present in Chrysler vehicles. During that next week, the A-pillar cover came loose while I was on vacation and the analog clock stopped working. The microphone line that was run behind the steering wheel also came loose and was hanging down. When I returned, I went by the store to see if they could fix this and was advise, in a not very friendly manner, that there were no techs for the rest of the week and that I needed to make an appointment, which would be more than 2 weeks out, to have them fix the problem that they caused. I have a very unpredictable schedule, so it's difficult for me to schedule that far out. The man I spoke to gave no apologies for the shoddy work and appeared to be mad that another employee had to bring him back to the installation bay to answer my questions. I did not get his name, but I sincerely hope that he was just having an off day. To date, my A-pillar is still hanging with a broken bracket, my wires are still hanging down, and my analog clock is still not working.

    Best Buy customer service helped me thru the process of purchasing a radio for my SUV. Helped me get approved for in-house credit card. Hassle free within 30 mins. On top of that we purchased a new refrigerator for our new home. Was delivered at the store, damaged free. That’s how much our family loves BEST BUY. Thank you.

    Fantastic Radio! The screen is bright and clear and I can see the backup camera even in the middle of the day. Pairs flawlessly with my phone and loads right up so there's not a huge delay when I'm on a call and step into and start my vehicle, there is a delay but not a big one.

    We got this for my husband's Rav 4, which had an outdated system. We wanted the Android Auto for maps and phone etc. and to display the back up camera on the screen (his was a tiny image on his mirror). He's not very techy, but has no trouble using it and it seems much safer than his old set up.
