    My factory radio crashed and burned in my 2014 F-150. So I went without a radio for 8 months looked and looked on line….finally went into Best Buy and talk to a young man radio technician “geek squad” he was so helpful! He asked what I was looking for in my truck radio I told him and he give me a few different options and they were all great but I think with his help I made the best one!!! Great radio and looks just like factory installed from Ford!!! Geek Squad installed everything for me they are great.The young man that installed it made sure I was happy and really explained everything to me about my new radio set up

    Needed new Car Stereo and backup Camera for 2007 Truck. Install was supposed to take 4 1/2 hours. Ralph at Mueller Rd Best Buy got done in 2 hours. Perfect clean install. Sony receiver is great, Rear view camera is awesome - better than wife's new Suburban. Great job to Ralph the Installer, who was amazing.

    So i needed to upgrade my 2014 toyota fj cruiser radio. Because the bluetooth set up was a nightmare. Especially on long road trips. Everytime you turned the suv off you had to set everything back up. I like to listen to books and podcasts while i drive to make the time pass faster and it was a massive pain in the butt. I settled on this sony radio so far its ony had a few hiccups. It takes a minute to paur to phone and its frozen once so far. But still easier than factory radio. I like that it has my audio books ready togo and i can see my gps on the screen. Its decent for the price

    While it can do a lot more, I mainly chose it for backup camera input and wireless apple carplay for navigation, phone calls and text messages. It is responsive without any significant delays both to touch inputs or voice commands. I had it hooked up to my existing Alpine speakers and subwoofer in my Jeep Wrangler 2015. Sound output is good for music. Comes with microphone for voice control and works well with Siri. One issue is the screen which appears fine when you look at it straight ahead in the store display but it appears a little fuzzy when you look at it from an angle from the driver seat.

    Good, but not perfect by any means. Sounds good - - not great. Sound on Android Auto tends to drop out some depending on the weather and where I happen to be driving at the time. My main issue is that the screen really leaves much to be desired. It's supposed to be an anti-glare screen - - but when sunlight hits it tends to wash out the entire screen. I would rather have a regular screen, I think - - it's quite a problem when using the backup camera as it renders it almost useless. Again, a decent unit with some issues.

    Great receiver for my Car

    I had Best Buy install this Sony 7" Wireless Apple CarPlay Receiver as an upgrade to the dated stock stereo in my 2006 Corvette C6, and the difference is night and day. If you want to bring an older sports car or vehicle directly into the modern era without ruining the clean look of your dashboard, this is the perfect head unit. What Makes It Great? Flawless Wireless CarPlay: The wireless connection is a total game-changer. It boots up incredibly fast when I start the engine and connects automatically. It completely eliminates the clutter of tangled charging cables in the console, letting me run Apple Maps, Spotify, and hands-free text messages seamlessly. Massive Sound Quality Boost: Even paired with the existing factory sound system, the audio quality is noticeably improved. Sony's internal amplification and tuning options give the music a much cleaner, deeper punch than the factory unit ever could. Essential Safety Additions: The receiver features a dedicated rear camera input. I had an aftermarket backup camera installed at the same time, and it works flawlessly. The view automatically flips onto the 7-inch screen the second you shift into reverse. Given the low seating position and typical blind spots of a sports car, having this modern safety feature adds incredible peace of mind. Clean, OEM Look: The physical design is classic Sony—minimalist, sleek, and premium. The anti-glare matte finish on the display is brilliant for daytime driving, effectively cutting down on reflection when the sun hits the cabin, while keeping greasy fingerprint smudges invisible. The Verdict:This head unit breathes entirely new life into an older vehicle. It bridges the gap between classic performance and modern convenience perfectly. If you want a responsive touchscreen, improved safety, and top-tier wireless phone integration, this unit is worth every single penny. Highly recommended!

      Hi MATTHEWK,

      We could not be more pleased to hear how this upgrade has breathed entirely new life into your 2006 Corvette C6! It is wonderful to know that features like the seamless wireless Apple CarPlay, the anti-glare screen finish, and the added peace of mind from the backup camera integration have combined to modernize your drive while keeping that clean dashboard aesthetic. We take great pride in making sure our receivers deliver a massive boost in audio performance, even with a factory sound system, so we are thrilled that the deeper punch and cleaner sound are enhancing your time behind the wheel.

      Thank you for making Sony part of your daily drive and your automotive adventures!

      Regards,
      Dominick Sony_US

    Overall Ok system. it does exactly what i need it to do. sound and power and great as a replacement for stock stereos that have dual din and no Android auto or Car Play options. but there are probably better options for a lower price. i was too lazy to look, and had a more expensive is better. plus i took the word of the Install tech. Pros: easy to use. lots of eq customizing Wireless Android Auto and Carplay Wired USB-C conection SXM radio ready Cons: - No Loud Button, - Wireless connection is not consistent (Connects a majority of the time but there are times where i have to turn the truck of completely for 10 seconds and restart so that the Deck shuts off long enough to repair the connection. this is only for inital connections and not during driving) - no Remote included - For custom Setup, an amp is needed even for mids and highs.
