    I’ve had this receiver for about three weeks, so far no issues. Only using the car play feature (that is why we purchased the receiver), it is the standard Apple car play interface, super easy to use.

    A 2-din screen on a 1-din unit. Loving the Apple Car-Play, and happy for the Bluetooth as well so I don't have to hook up my phone on my regular commute when I don't need to use the screen. Mic works excellent, even in my convertible with the top down.

    Great stereo for car! Bought to upgrade my 2010 corolla and it works like a charm. Apple car play works great and no issue with audio or any slow down. Finally bringing myself into the future.

    This is a really nice touchscreen stereo. The fact that it comes with Android Auto and Apple Car Play makes it a lot better. The screen sometimes takes a second to respond to input, but this is still a solid stereo for the price

    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.

    Overall amazing head unit especially for the price. Had a couple hiccups with the display but nothing major. Quick adjustment/ pressing a couple buttons on the included remote fixed it everytime.

    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.

      Hello DanielL,

      Thanks for your feedback! We're glad to hear you're enjoying your new XAV-AX3250 and it fits perfectly in your car.

      You're right, for Apple CarPlay, a wired USB connection is needed for a stable and full-featured experience. If you have any question regarding your new car stereo, you can check the help guide here: https://helpguide.sony.net/ev/xav-ax32/v1/en/index.html

      Thanks for choosing Sony!

      Sincerely,
      Jenn. Sony_US

    This purchase, like all my Best Buy purchases was an easy process, from the sales person that helped me look at radios for my vehicle to the install team that completed the installation in a timely manner. No mess left behind, just a great trouble free install. This past year we have come back to Best Buy a fridge, 4 TVs, a microwave and a few other things related to our recent move to this area. I could not be more satisfied with every aspect of these purchases.

      This is great to hear! We're thrilled that the Sony XAVAX3250 is working so well for you. Our goal was to create a powerful digital media receiver that offers excellent sound quality and features like WebLink Cast and Apple CarPlay/ Android Auto at a great value.
