Big screen with updated flexibility
The XAV-AX8500 digital multimedia receiver features a 25.7 cm (10.1 inch) capacitive HD touchscreen with an updated display joint featuring a new tilt and swivel mechanism. Together with both wireless and wired connectivity to your smartphone and various devices, and sound customisation, it offers a safe and enjoyable driving experience.
Easily adjustable tilt and swivel
The newly designed tilt and swivel mechanism lets you manually adjust the oversized high-definition display's viewing angles. The display joint's screw-less structure gives you a range of ±15 degrees, both horizontally and vertically, with no tools required – even after installation.
Fully wireless smartphone connectivity
Thanks to a Wi-Fi® connection to your smartphone, together with the supplied GPS antenna, you can use voice control to navigate, communicate and play music on the road even with your device in your pocket.
Sound customization
The built-in DSP offers sound processing and time alignment—down to a remarkable 1 cm for each of the five addressable channels (four speakers and subwoofer via pre-out). A 14-band EQ lets you adjust the overall sound to your music or taste, and with the three-zone crossover, you can arrange the perfect match of front, rear and subwoofers.
HDMI Input
HDMI connectivity allows you to hook up an external audio and visual source device or a compatible smartphone, so you can view your favorite content when your car is parked.
High-definition capacitive touchscreen
A large floating 25.7 cm (10.1 inch) capacitive touchscreen with 1280 x 720-pixel high resolution offers crisp detail, higher brightness and contrast for superior in-car experience.
Gapless Anti-glare Display
Unlike a conventional display, the LCD is bonded directly to the protective glass touch layer with a transparent adhesive. The result is an extremely precise touch experience along with enhanced contrast and visual performance. The internal anti-glare filter hugely improves touchscreen visibility by reducing sunlight reflections, ensuring easier and safer driving.

Loving this Sony!
I have been a Pioneer only radio giy since high school, I am 43 now. This is my first Sony and the reason for picking it was my features vs budget allotment i absolutely love this head unit compared to my old 2017 Pioneer. The screen is amazing, sound is amazing, backup camera looks perfect after updating the software. Sound is amazing from the in unit amp but I now added a 4 channel amp and two 12s, this thing is so clean, way cleaner than the pioneer ever wanted to be. I highly recommend this head unit and if you nab jt on sale, consider it even more strongly.

Not it
The wireless Android Auto is really choppy and skips a lot. The receiver freezes repeatedly and disconnects, but not all the way. When it acts up I can not look at my phone screen for gps. The volume for Sirius radio doesn't work all the time if you are using Android Auto. The display is big, but the bevel is thick and makes the receiver looks dated.
