Customer Ratings & Reviews

Enough power to sound great. Nice display. Car play works well. Cheapest I could find with car play. Hooked up a back up cam to it and it works great. The geek squad did a fantastic install for me

Best buys install was amazing and simple, but the real star was the radio. It looks great and physical buttons are so nice versus the touch capacitive ones on the competition.

I love the styling and build quality. So many head units feel really cheap, but the Sony feels very sturdy. I added the Motorola MA1 to be able to use wireless Android Auto and it's been very convenient to not have to plug it in all the time.

Sony xav-ax3250 is a great asset to my vehicle and for the price wouldn't mind buying this item for my future car. Simple and yet very equipped with lots of technology. Over best purchase this year.

Worked out great in my car. Had everything I needed. Steering wheel control plugged right in. Front rear woofer. Can’t beat it for that money.

So far so good but it’s only been a few hours! The people that did the install were great! This is for my daughters car and she’s loving it!

I needed to have this. Not everyone likes my taste of music from Yo-yo Ma to Blink 182. I cant do the radio where it fades in and out while you drive out of state either.

This is a great addition for an older vehicle. It blends in well that it looks like it was the original radio that came with the truck.

Installed very easy love it Love that its a single din with 6.95 screen makes it easy to install in my truck

It has worked very well since it was installed. The installation was less time than allotted for which was very convenient

Works great easy to use,Great product will buy again.

Excellent product. And Best buy's geek squad didn't great job installing it.

Sounds great love how you can set the equalizer to your preference… all and all great radio

Love it. Single din fitment means it fits easily. Yep

Great so far. Similar to the ax3000 but has the screen mirroring which is super cool.

Love the head unit it is great value for the money

It makes my radio experience a 100% better makes my.

Unit was a great upgrade to a five year old oem radio without a touch screen/Android Auto. Sometimes there is lag but that is probably related my somewhat older S9 phone. Largest issue is the display is terrible in bright sun.

Super service and quality product. I wouldn’t go anywhere else

I didn't see any reviews on this head unit and the one I did find mentioned something about it being an EU model. I think otherwise or that maybe this unit was manufactured specifically for Best Buy stores, the manual says for the US market. I really like it. I had a Pioneer AVH-290BT before this and always wanted CARPLAY this unit gave me that with a bigger screen and better build quality without breaking the bank. Obviously, your system is only as good as your weakest link. With a "good" amp you will have no regrets with this model. My amp has 0.02% THD at rated 100w RMS. My gains might be at half and I have PLENTY of volume, it's unbearably loud with the windows closed. That being said, a "good" amp is subjective but this unit has a very clean signal to send through your amps without the need of an inline EQ or sound processor. Great Sony tech at a great price. If you wanted to get more volume and clarity than the factory and add CARPLAY to a vehicle without it, this is a great option. Also great for big/larger systems. Pros: -DSO (Digital Stage Organizer) *WORKS GREAT* -APPLE CARPLAY -4 channel output + sub output -Easy Interface -Bright Screen -Buttons have very solid clicks -Steering wheel controls -Sirius XM capable -video input (backup camera) -5 selectable wallpapers/backgrounds for the sony interface. Cons: -Dimmer is sometimes still too bright, can't change the precise brightness, dimmer is either off or on. -Anti Glare screen sometimes catches the light at a weird angle -Takes about 3-5 seconds to register your phone for car play -EQ has a lot of flexibility but isn't very sensitive -Has attenuation but no quick mute ability / can be muted through a few buttons. -MAX VOLUME with no amp is around 20 before it hits distortion, this is fixed with an amplifier. I have Infinity reference components and with the head unit power, they're very clean and pretty decent volume but, windows down and you probably won't be too happy anymore. *I'll update this if I have to but I've had it for over a month now and it's been great overall. Nothing is ever perfect but this checks all the boxes and leaves you smiling. I consider myself a VERY picky consumer and this doesn't leave me with buyer's remorse. Quite Happy with this product.
