    Love the screeen (anti glare) but very clear. The menu and screen is very easy to read, and the stereo provides great sound. I'm very impressed with the overall quality and performance of this unit.

    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.

    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.

    Bought this Sony for my son for Christmas and he loves it. It can mirror his iPhone, play all his music, Bluetooth. He loved it. Works like a charm. Installed in his 2000 Honda Accord replacing the stock radio. Highly recommend it.

      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

    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.
