    This was recommended by the Audio Geek Squad Tech over another radio that we were looking at. I appreciate their product knowledge as well as installation expertise. He asked what feature we needed and this fit the bill better than the other one we thought we wanted. The radio has made this parent feel better, especially with the hands-free phone feature and speech-to-text functions that are available.

      Hi koffi,
      Thank you so much for your positive review! We're thrilled to hear you've been enjoying your XAV-AX3250 for over a year and that it's been a great addition to your setup. It's great to hear that connecting it with a wireless Bluetooth adapter works pretty well for you.

      Thank you for choosing Sony!
      Sincerely,
      - Stephanie Sony_US

    The over all quality of this unit is great. However, 2 things are bothering me about it. ONE. I can't seem to get enough bass out of this unit and the stations seem to vary on bass which I've never noticed in all my years of auto radios. Filtering out (high pass) has helped but it's not great. A sub-woofer would probably help, which it does address, but I have side speakers that were "good enough" with other units. TWO, I don't like that the camera at times seems "washed out". As a previous photographer this really bothers me. The colors are fine but it seems as if the whole picture needs to be "under exposed" to look saturated enough. Of course it does it's job but other back up cameras that I've seen looks much better. I don't think it's the camera as I didn't notice this on the last unit. You'd think there would be an adjustment for this but I can't access the camera settings when I go to that menu. I'll be checking with the installers about all this as he recommended this unit.

    Installed on 2011 Subaru Forester. Highly recommend buying the premade harness adapter - it's just about plug and play with that. Make sure to read the instructions on what cables go where, woulda saved me a good amount of headache if i read that closer. Snappy response on the screen, great audio adjustment presets.

    Great radio. I like that it connects to both Apple CarPlay and Andriod Auto. If it's installed at an angle, there may be glare on the display making it hard to read but if it's installed flat into the dash, there shouldn't be any issues.
