Good radio but it has some issues
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The touch screen is a little finicky. You have to put your finger in the exact right spot- if you're off by even a little it won't respond. The bass is a bit lacking as well. Great interface with Android Auto, but Apple Car Play is hit and miss - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Great radio!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installed about a month ago, and the sound is great! The Bluetooth connection was easy to set up and doesn't disconnect. I purchased this radio for the phone option since my vehicle didn't have it. I'm more than pleased with the sound quality on both ends of the call.

Stellar stereo
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Im thrilled. I had this installed in my 2003 Lexus and it’s just fantastic. I love the car play and bluetooth, such an upgrade from the old cassette player that was in my vehicle.

Nice unit, free installation
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy with the unit itself. It did require extra purchase of some cords, but I knew that ahead of time. I am disappointed that I wasn't told, at installation, that I would need another $120+ part to make this compatible with steering wheel controls. I haven't gone back yet but would probably have opted for that at the time if I had known. Now, not sure I want the hassle.

Good product but need some testing still.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is great for functionality but I am little concerned as after installing this, my car's battery is acting up. I had to jump start already few times. I did not have any issues until this was installed. I will have to have Best buy look into the wiring to ensure it is not causing the battery issue. I also had the battery tested and it looks good. Other than that, the product is amazing.

Good system but very bad software with no support
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had this system for more than a year now. The sound quality is good but there are several limitation on this system. 1. The system when using car play has many bugs. For one if your on a phone call the entire system is so slow. Just swiping on the screen is an effort and you can see the screen move in frames. Tried this on multiple iPhones/cables but nothing helps. Everything works fine in my other car with a manufacturer default car play system. 2. If you on a call and try to start navigation the navigation voice(google maps) will scream at you with an ungodly loud volume. The audio will also break with the phone audio and seems like another audio bug with this unit. I would recommend you look into another brand. Just check Reddit and all Sony systems seem to have similar issues with slow downs when a phone call is placed on CarPlay.

Connectivity to CarPlay is hit or miss. Slow Apps
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great unit for the price. Clean, simple, easy to use, and configure. My main gripe is audio quality. You have to mess with EQ's a lot to get decent sound quality. I spent 3K on new speakers and sub - I am constantly battling with the deck to get the most out of them. I also have to turn my amplifier wayyyy down to prevent hissing in my speakers. The low voltage pre amp inputs (2v) are just not enough for a high quality sound system. CarPlay connectivity. CarPlay itself is very slow and laggy. You'll click on the icon you want, let's say Google Maps, and the app launches in slow-mo. Think of Neo dodging shots in the Matrix. The USB connection to initiate CarPlay via the phone is also very hit or miss. Some days it launches and connects perfectly. Other days, you have to disconnect the phone and reconnect it multiple times. A quick tip is to disconnect it at the USB source, not the cable you are using. Something about disconnecting and reconnecting at the USB source a couple of times allows the unit to reconnect. Once decks are readily available and the chip shortage is resolved, I plan to replace this unit. For now, it should work just fine.
