Hard to see
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this for my son's Nissan Frontier truck based on Sony's reputation. Unfortunately the screen is very susceptible to glare and it was very difficult to see during normal daylight hours. We had to return and go with a different option.

Posted .Dear JamesN,
We sincerely apologize for the issue you've encountered and are disappointed to learn that you decided to return the unit. While there are settings designed to reduce glare, it's important to recognize that this is a common challenge with many electronic displays, particularly in environments with fluctuating lighting, such as a vehicle. Glare often occurs when direct sunlight or bright light sources reflect off the screen, hindering visibility.
To alleviate this, you might consider applying an anti-glare screen protector or adjusting the screen's angle if feasible. Additionally, setting the screen brightness to align with the ambient light conditions can further minimize glare.
We hope you'd still consider our products in your next purchase.
Regards,
Craig
Solid product
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have been using this for a couple of years and it's been a solid product. The display is just OK and is difficult to read with minimal glare but this is probably due to the angle of the vehicles dashboard.

I would recommend this to a friend Old Kia Soul
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installed in a 2015 Kia with a basic stereo. Installer was able to use the USB port area, program it to the steering wheel. This is great, now I have a giant screen for my GPS. I still have my stock speakers so it still sounds the same, but so far all the functionality is working well with the unit!

Works OK, until it doesn't.
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had this head unit for 2 years, and it was decent. However just this morning the USB circuit crapped out, won't hold a connection with any USB device, whether it be my phone, my Wireless android auto adapter, or a Flash drive to update the firmware...

Posted .Hi g00fy, We're sorry to hear about your device. This is definitely not what we wanted you to experience. Are you using USB extension cable? Make sure that your flash drives are in MSC (Mass Storage Class) format otherwise the head unit won't be able to read them. If you're head unit still won't read your USB devices, we recommend reaching out to your installer to physically assess your head unit.
If you need further assistance with your device, you may reach us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details :

It’s good, I guess? Sony could have done better
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The unit works and does it’s job… but that’s about it. I look to other units still and regret having bought this one for several reasons but it does simply just work. The UI is simple. While that is a great thing at times it leaves so much to be desired. I would like to change the background to more than 4 things or have ability to turn up the brightness. The unit is so so so reflective and somehow the matte is still there. It sounds great.. jus I can not recommend this
