Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very good sound System . I was very skeptical at first but it actually turned out really good. I have this system in my truck and it makes the sound really loud . I would recommend this sound system and would get again .

I have an 08 Honda Accord that didn't have Bluetooth or touchscreen capabilities. This is great for my use. I also added a backup camera which works great. Best Buy had it installed and I was out the door in 90 minutes (appointment had to be made). Would recommend to anyone looking for a stereo upgrade. Only thing I would suggest is to make sure the Best Buy you purchase from has an auto installation department. They don't all have one. I had to drive about 15 miles away to another Best Buy but it was worth the distance.

First off i will say i don't have any major complaints. It does everything i need it to do but it's just that. It doesn't stand out compared to any other head units I've owned in a positive or a negative way, but maybe that is a positive. The android auto is a little hit and miss but that is almost every stereo if using wifi/Bluetooth. Sounds quantity is good. EQ is ok. Video for backup cam is good. Again all around not a bad stereo but not great either. Would i buy again, ya, would i tell someone this is the best, No.

Excellent head unit for the money. Great sound and lots of features. Anti-glare screen is a little tough to see at times, but overall it's not much of an issue.

Works great, bought as a cheap Apple CarPlay solution for my truck. I knew going in that it didn’t have support for steering wheel controls but that isn’t a big deal. Retained factory reverse camera function and installed easy with the separate harness and interface I purchased. I liked the simplicity Sony uses in their design language, everything is simple to get to, and not buried deep in the menu. Software updates are timely as well.

My husband’s stereo just died one day. He has a long commute and loves music. This was the perfect replacement as it also allows him to answer and make calls, use Blue Tooth settings and if he wanted add a backup camera. His truck is a 2014 F-150. The technicians were professional and the installation was seamless!!

Matte screen finish with poor quality that didn't hold up over time. Sirius XM has a delay response with streering controls. And don't add the plug in connection for your phone, it will freeze you have to keep unplugging the device for it to work. I bought this on the in-house installer recommendation.

Love Sony products, easy to use and CarPlay syncs iPhone so easily. Love the matte finish and sounds amazing.

Unit itself is amazing. Great sound and CarPlay doesn’t lag. The viability is atrocious however. In direct sunlight and bright environments you can’t see anything. The screen isn’t bright enough to help.

I love this stereo! The functions are easy to use. It works great with my Apple Car Play. The folks @ Best Buy recommended it when I went in for an install on a different head unit. Given that this one has Apple Car Play and phone mirroring, it does exactly what I need it to. I can pull up my radar on my phone and mirror it to the head unit. Having the larger screen in a great forward position makes everything easier to read. I actively use it when I am Storm Spotting. It's a great replacement for the stock Jeep head unti I replaced with this. Couldn't be happier! The head unit sometimes unlinks from my phone if I leave it plugged in and leave my car. I relink it by just unplugging the phone and plugging it back in. Easy fix! The rear view camera is easy to see.

I bought this and had Best Buy install it on my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I wanted the hands-free feature and the ability to use Android Auto. Works great. Attached is a pic of what the screen looks like at night with my lights on. The pic shows a Rear Camera. I also added a rear camera. The camera can be turned on manually or it goes on with you place the transmission is reverse. I am pleased with the investment.

Looks good and easy to use. Easy pairing with phone. Backup camera works well.

I like having this radio in the car. Apple Car Play works great. Haven't tried out Android Auto yet. The one downside is that it is difficult to see when the sun is shining directly on it.

Ive always like Sony's stereos. They're sleek, durable, and sound great. My only annoyance with this model is the inability to upload custom wallpapers and the screen. In my Jeep Wranger the screen is a bit washed out due to its viewing angle. You have to be looking at it almost dead on. Its also not as bright as some other models ive tried. Ive noticed it was harder to see the screen during a sunny afternoon than my XAV210. Other than that its a great radio.

Great upgrade for my wife's car. The factory radio in her Kia Sportage crapped out and she'd been using airpods and blue tooth speakers. We started shopping around and her only two wanted features were Apple carplay and a reverse camera. The Sony double din made those easy to accomplish. Install was super simple and easy, once I got the harness set up she slid right in. The back up camera integration took a minute just to run the wiring. Overall we both recommend this radio.

Good as what I expected. Touching is good and sound quality is good. The drawbacks include the glaring and swiping issues. Basically it's hard to see the screen in the sunlight. It's hard to swipe up and down when you check the song list, because the touching is too sensitive and it's easy to pick a song accidentally.

Installed this on my 17 Forester XT. Able to retain factory camera and steering wheel controls. Android Auto/Carplay/Note 9 mirroring all work flawlessly. Sound is definitely an upgrade from the stock head unit. One note is the screen is resistive and not capacitive as noted in the description. However, the screen is still responsive and fast. May not have all the bells and whistles of a more expensive unit, but I just wanted AA/Carplay at a decent price. Limited to 18 preset saved stations though. Overall, this is a good value, especially given the shortages with head units.

The Sony AX3250 is a huge upgrade compared to my old factory head unit. The AX3250 connects to my android phone quickly and provides all the options of Android Auto/Apple Carplay (navigation, Pandora, Spotify, hand free calling, and others) Combined with four Kicker speakers the system rocks. Installion was done by Best Buy. Installation in my 2003 Ram was quick, clean and I've experienced no issues. I also had the installer add a back up camera which is displayed through the Sony AX-3250.

Picked out receiver based on lots of positive online reviews - on Best Buy and other retail websites. Price was very reasonable and with free installation it was an easy choice (other stereo retailers just couldn’t come close in price with product/install price). I did have to purchase a few more items - around $100 - so that it would fit in my 2016 Jeep Wrangler, yet I expected the additional fitment costs. Once installed, setup was quick and easy and the sound is fantastic! Highly recommend and very much pleased!!!

Easy to install and has tons of great features. Android auto works great!
