Customers are saying

Customers highly value the wireless CarPlay, sound quality, and ease of use of this 7" digital media receiver. Many appreciate the numerous features and generally positive installation experience. However, some users report issues with screen brightness in daylight and occasional problems with the backup camera and connectivity. Overall, the positive feedback on key features outweighs the reported drawbacks.

    I am not only so pleased with this new Sony CarPlay system, I was also very pleased with Best Buy's installation. My old car now has new technology and it has made my life less complicated, especially since I drive 60 miles a day to work and back.

    Screen daytime glare and faded, dark contrast required a refund. Anti-glare screen is dull and foggy looking, but still has the same (even worse) visibility than other glossy screens. Sigh, so frustrating finding a monitor head upgrade that is visible and has less glare

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    This product is awesome. Expanded the capability of our 2014 Honda Civic with i-phone compatible features. We were thinking of selling a paid for vehicle to get air play and other features we now have.
