The Sony XAV-AX3250 is overall is a stellar choice for anyone attempting to upgrade the look and sound quality of there stereo. It boasts a big and very clear display, while provding your door speakers with enough wattage to drastically improve your lisyening experience. Very well tuned with numerous preset eq options, while st the same time allowing the user to modify to anyway they desire. The only reason this unit did not receive 5 stars is due to the buttons on the bottom of the display becoming stuck amd hard to press after awhile. All in all a great choice.

Good radio if you can deal with hardwire to your phone for car play. Sounds good, needs more wall paper options. Basic wallpaper options only

HI MikeR,
We're pleased you find the sound quality good! We understand your desire for more wallpaper options, and we appreciate the feedback. Many of our digital media receivers allow you to import custom JPEG photos via USB for use as wallpaper, which may address your customization needs.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

The primary aspect of the receiver is the car play for android and Apple devices. We use this for content in addition to local AM/FM. The vehicle is a camper van from 2010 with an aged, user challenging system. The bluetooth upgrade is also a big help. This system meets all of our listening needs. Ease of use and setup for Apple and Andriod devices is a big plus.

Pretty solid so far, backup camera works good, some delay at time with apple car play, basically the cable sometimes take a minute to fully connect. The video in has not worked yet will probably have to go back to Best Buy to figure that out. But for all other aspects of the radio way worth it.

In general I love Sony products even if I do feel they can be overpriced; and this Digital Small Media Receiver has not disappointed me. Everything is very clear and the sound is great and they layout to use it is very straight-forward and easy to use. "Great things can come in small packages"!

This Sony radio is excellent. I replaced the unit in my 2016 Camry and couldn't be happier. Great features and excellent sound and the installation tech in Annapolis was awesome.

Great upgrade for my 2009 Jeep Wrangler factory unit. All the bells and whistles and added a backup camera. Sounds great with my factory speakers too. Should have done sooner. Geek Squad did an awesome job on installation. Be sure to check for fit kit and wiring harness requirements that are not cheap.

It sounds amazing, the only thing is that when using android auto, the unit does not have enough power to sustain charging your phone and keeping android auto running with out problems. And it will "crash" if your device is being charged (below 100% battery level), my recomendation is to charge your phone to 99% or to 100% if possible before going on a trip, as when it does not need to charge your device android auto will function smoothly and the unit will stay stable and does not "crash". You could also try a wireless android auto adapter as a work around (I have not tested this).

Couldn't be happier with this purchase. Easy to navigate UI. Access to all my audio-based apps and Google Maps. Seamless connection to Android Auto

I installed the Sony 6.95" Android Auto and Apple CarPlay Receiver in my truck, and it’s been a game changer—great sound, super easy Bluetooth, and CarPlay works flawlessly. The touchscreen is sharp and responsive, and it gave my truck a modern, clean look. I also was able to install a backup camera and connect it to it.

Maybe things just weren't explained properly to me. (I believed that I had intentionally purchased a system with a knob, and this unit does not have one.) I also thought I could make a wireless connection, and apparently this unit must be hard wired. It sounds good and is a good fit, but I'm slightly disappointed in some of the features. Also you cannot see the screen at all on sunny days.

Love the look, easy to move from radio to maps and phone usage. The Apple Car Play is terrific. Like that the GPS transfers from my phone to the screen.

Everything works as planned, but the screen is a little on the dim side during the day (even at full brightness) and a little on the bright side at night (also at full brightness, but there is no way to have this auto adjust based on ambient lighting). I am still happy with it, and I am not sure if others at this price point have a brighter/better screen but when compared to my other car's stock android auto screen this is a noticeable downgrade

New Sony android receiver is working great. Easy to view controls, I think it’s a great price compared to others on the market for much more.

The unit is an overall positive for me. It does everything a modern radio does and it does add the new feel to an aging car. The screen isn't as saturated but it allows for good visibility. The only gripes I have is that the USB cable has to stick out from the lower section of my center console, which is not a clean solution. And the molding for my specific car angles the unit downward slightly so the viewing angle is subpar.

Hi Wayne, Thanks for sharing your feedback. We're glad you like it. We also appreciate your comment regarding the USB cable. Rest assured this will be looked into. Enjoy and thanks for choosing Sony. -Craig

Really nice smart car radio. It connects greatly to my iPhone. The audio quality is great, my music sounds great. The touchscreen is responsive and relatively quick. The only con I have noticed is the screen brightness; when the day is too bright the screen can look washout.
