No, I would not recommend this to a friendGreat radio and service on my Sony purchase.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I went to Best Buy to purchase a Kenwood stereo with Apple Car Play for my 2012 Camaro and they were out of stock of the radio I wanted. And boy am I glad they were. They sold me on the Sony unit that did everything I was looking for and it was less expensive than the Kenwood. The installation went great. The young man mad sure it fit properly and explained everything he was doing then went over the features and operation of the Sony unit. I am very well pleased with this purchase.

Disappointing
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just so disappointed with Sony and Bestbuy for their recommendation for this unit. The resolution is so bad you have to strain to see the screen during the daytime. The backup camera is even worse. The high resolution I have on my 2019 Ram 1500 backup camera location in the rearview mirror blows away my new Sony large screen for the quality of the picture. The other negative is if you have a late-model truck with only two buttons on the steering wheel you will not be able to control the volume. So while you are driving you have to find the tiny + and - to adjust the volume. No an easy task or safe one to do.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Backup camera
Junk !
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This radio worked well for about 5 days. Since 6then I've had issues with it freezing up and you can't turn it on or off, the backup camera not working at times, Google not working at times, and several other intermittent issues. I'm really not happy with it.

I would recommend this to a friendLook elsewhere
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This stereo receiver is nice when it works, which is about 50% of the time. The connection via Bluetooth is never stable, no matter where my phone is. Connecting via the USB cable somehow makes the stereo freeze and the shut down. I've lost track of the number of times where I am driving and everything is going fine, but then the stereo just drops the connection and freezes. We brought it into a best buy multiple times to see what the problem was and was told my phone (s22 ultra) was "probably" the issue despite it being able to connect to a multitude of bluetooth devices/brands without any problem.
