Good Price Point - Not Worth the Cost
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We did a lot of research before getting this unit—at the time of purchase, it was highly rated and yet affordable. Others may have had a different experience than us. The unit had problems from day one. We had to send it back twice to be tested, and they finally decided it was defective. While Sony has a good name, I would steer clear of this unit and go with the next level up.

Static on AM stations
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.VERY disappoint with AM sound quality. Therre is STATIC in the background even on local stations. Also- this may be petty - but the time display shrinks to a tiny font when radio is on.

Don’t buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this receiver do to the ratings . CarPlay worked for one week and now doesn’t work 90% of the time . Going to Best Buy as soon as I have time to see if there’s anything they can do to resolve this issue . For as much money as it cost you would think it would work . Buyer beware if your buying this for apple carplay stay away it doesn’t work at all . Have to plug in many times for it to pop up then it will disconnect whenever. Worst Best Buy purchase to date .

Do not buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Garbage - does not come with everything you need. By the time I was able to source the proper wiring harnesses, after installation the radio did not have any audio. Tried chatting with customer service but they are no help at all. Customer service is "sourced" and they have zero expertise, don't expect any actual help. Because of the time it took to get my wiring harnesses, now I cannot even return this thing. Buying at Best Buy was a huge mistake and I regret it.

Not impressed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, I'm not impressed. If I had to do it over again I'd buy something else. The visual interface is not attractive and there is very little ability to do anything about it.

Junk
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver is junk, had it for 2 weeks. After 10 - 40 minutes of use, it would sound like my speakers were blown. I had the unit replaced and the same thing happened. Tech found that the unit kept over heating. I also had issues with glare. After I had replaced this with another brand, I've had no issues since.

Poor brightness
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gets the job done and still much better than our original head unit. We live in a sunny region, and when the sun shines on this, you just can't see anything.

Mediocre fidelity. Screen hard to read in day
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Can not see the screen well, too much glare and lack of clarity. Would like to use my own wallpaper background. Fidelity not great

it is an okay headunit
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had high expectations for this head unit because of the higher ratings on Bestbuy, but it turns out it is an okay head unit; the buttons are clicky, no mute button, and OK graphics. I would buy the alpine head unit instead

Terrible product.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Car play works intermittently at best. Terrible glare from moderate sunlight. Dimming options are either too bright. Or too dark. There’s only the 2 options. Would not recommend. Would return if Best Buy accepted installed electronics. Much better options for same or less money.
