Solid Sony performance
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Very happy with it!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We got this for my husband's Rav 4, which had an outdated system.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.

Dark screen
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Average stereo. Works good connects good easy controls. So far the only negative is the dark screen. Nothing fancy. If you drive in daylight with headlights on it hard to see the screen. Even on manuel mode it's pretty dim. As far as background color choices you only have a few dark colors to choose from when setting up.

Should’ve got this sooner
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I finally pulled the trigger on upgrading my car radio, and I wish I did it sooner!
