Sony - Built-in Bluetooth - In-Dash Digital Media Receiver - Black

I recently visited Best Buy to purchase a Sony stereo for my car, and what could have been a frustrating experience turned out to be one of the best examples of customer service I’ve ever encountered. I initially ordered the Sony XAV-AX100 online after seeing it on display in the store. I was thrilled with the price of $139.99 and couldn’t wait to install it. However, when I picked up my order, I realized they had given me a completely different Sony model. At first, I was a bit disappointed, so I returned to the store to clarify the issue. That’s when I met the store manager, who explained that there had been an error. The wrong price tag had been placed on the display unit for the Sony XAV-AX100, and the system had applied the incorrect pricing to my order. Naturally, I thought this might result in a higher price or some back-and-forth discussions, but I was blown away by how they handled it. The manager quickly reassured me that they would honor the price I originally saw, even though it was an error. He explained that Best Buy values its customers and their satisfaction, and to make things right, they would provide me with the Sony XAV-AX100 at the same price I paid—$139.99. The team processed the return for the incorrect model with no hassle and gave me the correct stereo I had been looking for. They even apologized for the inconvenience and made sure I left the store happy. What stood out to me was how smooth the entire process was. I didn’t feel like I had to argue or plead my case—they genuinely cared about doing the right thing. The Sony XAV-AX100 is everything I wanted in a stereo. The sleek touchscreen interface, seamless Apple CarPlay integration, and excellent sound quality have transformed my driving experience. I couldn’t believe I got such a high-quality product for such an incredible price, thanks to the store’s price match policy and the manager’s commitment to excellent service. This experience left a lasting impression on me. It’s rare to find a company that values its customers enough to prioritize fairness and satisfaction over profit margins. Best Buy earned a lifelong customer in me that day, and I’ll definitely be coming back for future purchases. If you’re looking for a store with great products and even better customer service, I highly recommend Best Buy. Thanks to their team, I not only got the stereo I wanted but also left feeling truly valued as a customer. Thank you, Best Buy! Would definitely give 10 stars if I could!

Great radio, just need better information on set up. This thing can do amazing things but you need master's degree to figure out how to use it to it's fullest potential. Definitely need better step by step, clear instructions on set up. Especially for an old dumb A like myself! Haha it's kind of annoying that I can't figure out how to stop the radio from going to demo mode! Installing was actually easier than I thought, thanks to a little tech support from Best buy. That guy was very helpful.

Great head unit! The other reviews I read about the display being a little dim in the daytime are correct though. It can be a little hard to see when it's light out. However, this is the only thing about this stereo that isn't great. It produces good sound and connects quickly to my phone. I also like that it has a wireless remote.

One of the easiest installs. Works great. Tons of features. Easy to figure out the settings. I love the quality of Sony products the price was great. In the past, I was being cheap and installed a cheap unit from China. It was supposed to have gps. Hot spot . A very unresponsive touchscreen. Everytime I stress my car it wild blast full volume no matter what. . This sony unit is a dream as all sunny products are. Easy connection. Everything is great

I originally ordered a panasonic that i really like but during the day it was IMPOSSIBLE to see the display. This receiver has MUCH BETTER display visibility during the day. I was surprised that so many people reviewing this unit said that the display brightness didn’t adjust. It definitely adjusts and though it may not be perfect its much better than most. You can tell when you check the receivers they have at the store. Also, when i had the panasonic I realized that i didnt need a cd player, plus it was so complicated with all these crazy equalizer settings. Not this sony though, very easy to understand, the app is basic and the options are few. Most importantly, it sounds amazing!!! You can see in my picture that it’s pretty easy to see the display during the day in sunshiny florida.

This radio is definitely an upgrade from my previous radio. I like that I can pair more than one device to the Bluetooth at a time, whereas my previous radio would only store one. I also like that it has a bass boost for the Bluetooth device. The radio looks good and sounds good and installation wasn’t too hard. I put it in a 1994 Mazda Miata and it fit ok with a few modifications to the installation kit. There is also a small gap at the bottom of the radio because the Miata was a ant designed for a double den radio but overall I’m satisfied with the look and overall quality of the radio. I would highly recommend it.

Great volume knob and control, simple and effective for the cost. - Honda Element

Great purchase for teenage son's 2003 Grand Prix as a birthday gift. Got it professionally installed and he couldnt be happier. Even made the speakers sound louder.
