Amazing!!!
I have a 1991 Toyota mr2 and replaced an aftermarket Pioneer head unit with this one. The Pioneer didn’t have Apple car play and was a bit of a pain to navigate to play music from my phone so I decided on the Sony as a replacement. The Sony has built in car play which makes it so much easier to navigate music and it gives you navigation capabilities as well using the phone. Car play is wireless, which is awesome and the connection is easily established every time I turn on the car (it is automatic). Sound quality is fantastic. I am not running an amp but honestly I don’t need to because the sound is excellent. My front speakers are JBL club series (6 1/2), while the two small rear speakers are infinity reference speakers (4 1/2). The sound is amazing without having to use an amp. Adjustments are easy, you can set the specific fade you want and even set the eq how you want as well to get that “just right” sound. Some other great features: you can set your own splash screen, but to do so I had to buy a usb c to usb adapter to plug in a flash drive because I didn’t have a usb c flash drive and the cord supplied that plugs into the back of the unit is a usb c to usb c. It also has an hdmi input but the cord is not supplied, believe it is a mini hdmi. I didn’t use one because I’m not watching videos on the head unit. It is very easy to turn off and on, just hold the home button down and that powers the unit off. I actually use this because I have an old school automatic antenna that goes up when the radio is on, so going through a car wash can be a pain but this turns the whole thing off easily and quickly to lower the antenna. The phone features are good as well. Sound of calls is clear, interface to call is easy to use. The major con- you can’t get rid of the stupid clock graphic from the middle of the screen. Getting use to it but honestly I’m mainly in car play when driving so it isn’t that bad because the whole screen becomes the Apple screen anyway. Things I wish they had options for: 1. Removing the clock graphic. It isn’t all that bad but should still be an option to remove. Besides, there is a small clock in the corner anyway when not using car play so why they put two clock graphics is mystery. 2. Wish there was a way to turn off power to the antenna so it doesn’t go up when using car play. Most modern cars won’t have this problem but line is a 1991, and way back then auto antennas were all the rage. 3. Better tech support. I had to search all over to see if there was a way to disable the clock graphic and to see what options were available for the antenna, their web site is about useless. Some suggestions for install: I used a wire harness that connects to my factory harness which made install easier. If you are not great at soldering or are not comfortable with soldering, there are excellent adapters that have a bit of solder in the tube and you use a heat gun to melt the tube and the solder to the wires. I tried these and install was a breeze and the connection are fantastic. Took about 5 seconds per wire. Attaching the parking brake wire in the MR2 is a pain, so I added that wire to the ground wire and it worked perfectly so I didn’t have to dismantle the entire car to attach that one wire. There is a wire that attached to the car’s electronic speed sensor, on my 91, that wire is either non-existent or is hidden so I didn’t attach that and it works fine. Believe that is used for car navigation but mine has worked fine. There is also a cord and small antenna for gps that has to be attached. It comes with self adhesive that gets attached to a supplied metal plate. That metal plate also has self adhesive that you then attach to your car. The adhesive sucks so I just stuffed it as far into my dash as I could so it was lodged and would come out- works fine. Then instructions are lacking, but stuffing the gps into the dash worked for me because the adhesive doesn’t stick to plastic, or metal, or any other surface. I contemplated gorilla glue but found a place where It fit and wouldn’t come loose. Overall, excellent head unit, great sound, great features, pretty easy install if you have ever installed a radio, and the sound- can’t say enough about the quality. In my car it is amazing! ... show more

LOVE IT.
I got a back up cam separate . I couldn’t be happier . Sound is amazing . Back up cam goes on in reverse automatic . Get in the car it connects automatic to car play with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on but you can turn off Bluetooth right away and it still plays. Long story short you can customize the sound . It has screen off / music playing option . Auto brightness screen. NO WIRES . which is the best part . What else , one thing I don’t like it takes about 3 seconds to start playing next song . Loads on screen right away but music playing there’s a tiny buffer ……. Idk if that’s just me or what . But can’t complain over all. UPDATE - years later I still love it !!!! The “ issue “ is 95% of the time it’s amazing. The 5% is connection issues - WHAT IVE LEARNED - cheat codes lol. So when you hop out of your car and leave it running it stays connected , and when you get back in it should play automatically . It doesn’t always do that. IF YOU PAUSE THE SONG BEFORE YOU GET OUT with ( car still running ) and get back in and hit play on either screen or phone - it works much better connection wise that way . OTHERWISE - 5% of the time it will totally kick you off connection wise . WHAT I LEARNED . it will try to connect to Bluetooth which is fine whatever I use car play - but when car play isn’t auto connecting or it kicks you off . If you stay in your car and keep going back and forth forget device reconnect device praying car play will pop up . It won’t . ( usually ) - WHAT I DO . I hold down the home button for 10 seconds fully shut it off , instead of asleep . THEN - this is the best part . For whatever reason - I have to open my car door . LOCK & UNLOCK THE DOORS WITH MY KEYS . So it thinks I got out of the car or left . FOR WHATEVER reason . You have to like reset it or make Sony Purr - by locking & unlocking your car doors. BOOM CAR PLAY CONNECTION WORKS FIRST TIME EVERY TIME . If not you’ll be in and endless loop of Bluetooth connection - back and forth screaming at your car / head unit . Lmfao . Trust me I get it . Hope those cheat codes help . They really do work . Makes no sense but fully works . Lock and unlock your car doors however you want to . And then it will car play again . Again 95% of the time it’s been amazing for me personally . Hit voice button - call mom , or text mom for example - we all know that yes . ALSO - my steering wheel controls couldn’t be connected - so I’m happy af not complaining. At all pic is great BOSE speakers are great . It connects to my stock Bose speakers flawlessly . Point being IF you want a VOLUME knob , your steering wheel options may or may not be compatible . Soooooooo be prepared for that . NO KNOB FOR VOLUME . I know we all see that - just think about that as you’re driving if you want buttons to hit or if you want an easy knob to turn . Sounds basic af . But some ppl may end up hating not having a knob , etc . Just think about it that’s all . 💜💜💜 ... show more

Awesome in my W210 with Bose system
I have an old Benz W210 with the optional Bose speaker system. These have a factory-installed amplifier that connects to the stock Becker head-end. (The Bose system in this car isn't a typical sub-sat system. It's more like the old 901 system with an active equalizer in the sound path. That equalizer is built into the factory-installed amplifier.) I just got this installed today and I couldn't be more pleased with the performance. I bought one of these to connect to the car: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B7VKGL32 I bought these to adapt RCA connectors to the eight speaker leads: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VMRPVZ7 I bought a spare connector because I wanted to remove the speaker leads from the plug going to the radio and didn't want to hack the included wiring harness. This is it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B1WKY1GF I hooked the speaker wires on the car to the pre-amp outputs on the XAV-AX6000. The sound is awesome. There's a "thump" when turning the car on and off but that's the only thing that's different with this and the stock head-end as far as sound goes. it's not too bad and I'll live with it. In addition, I bought a COMAND face plate from Ebay to allow a double-din installation. I had to trim a bit less than 1/2" from the bottom of the DIN slot on the Benz to get the Sony radio to sit flush with the face plate. Plus some foam tape to take up some space and set the angle, on top at the rear (toward you) and on the bottom at the front (away from you). A typical double DIN radio would take a lot more work to fit. It's almost like Sony was thinking of my car when they designed their radios (they're all this way). The COMAND is a bit bigger than double DIN so there's a gap. Right now I just have some black paper filling it but I plan to find some black foam to cut to fit. The face plate I got was 150, which is about what you should expect to spend for a good one. Mine is completely clean, no nicks, no scratches. You can get a slightly flawed one for less (but not much less). Wireless Android Auto works great. I did not connect the included GPS antenna. I'm pretty sure that AA doesn't need it. If it does, I'll update this review. FM radio sensitivity is also great. Seems to be as good or maybe better than the stock Becker. I'll update the review if I feel differently about this later. Switching channels is instantaneous. No HD radio but it does have RDS. I haven't found an option to set the clock with RDS. I bought this from Freeman's Car Stereo (on Amazon). Amazon says that they're an authorized dealer and so does Sony's site. This is important if you want the 3-year warranty to be any good. It was sent the day I ordered via Fedex and arrived the next day. ... show more

Can’t wait to have this installed In my 2016 Chevy Colorado.

I have only seen my neighbors Sony AX6000 & really liked the crispness and brightness of the display as well as also like the finger tracking and the non-glare surface was really nice as well, I have a sunroof in my truck which is always open and the tiny 3-1/2 screen is nearly impossible to see, let alone read. And my Neighbrs has a huge panoramic roof and you can see & read this screen in direct sunlight as well so, I decided I would buy the same one he has and have it installed in my truck (which currently only has Am & Fm, it’s a work truck and does not work with phones). I had looked at a few other ones at Best Buy prior to buying the AX6000 here, but some of their prices were ridiculous and really didn’t like the finger swiping being kind of feeling herky/jerky when navigating. And not to mention, half of their display ones weren’t even turned on so I just thought that was pretty much pointless as who the heck is going to buy a $1,000 Radio that you can’t even test. Not me, that’s for sure. I ordered this almost a month ago, I still haven’t opened it or installed it yet. It takes some time to gather all of the other correct bits & pieces for the shop installing it to actually install all of it. I’m only doing it this way was to save a little more off the full installation as some of their pieces were pretty expensive. With that in mind so far, I’ve easily knocked $600 off the complete installation which will be shortly, toward the end of September, It will be so nice to have truck that actually has hands free, Apple carplay & Bluetooth. Can’t wait! So far so good, The Sony AX6000 head unit arrived overnight as it should, without a scratch on the packaging. As well as most of the other parts so far, so I will take it all as a good sign. New Infinity Kappa speakers all the way around to replace all of the old blown factory speakers. Matching Infinity 8 channel to run them. The iDatalink Maestro for GM is here as well & a few other pieces. Ordered the new bezel for the AX6000’s screen size, but they sent the wrong color and am waiting on the correct Gray one to arrive instead of the black one they sent but that is on back order (figures) I will add some more pics and details as well as a video when it all gets installed at our local guru’s shop in town. Update 1, after installation: … So far so good. It’s sound is unbelievable compared to the original radio and I’m not sure why a lot of people say it doesn’t get bright enough. I’ve only been driving with it for a few days now and is way brighter than my old stock radio ever was & the backup image is far more crisp as well. I always thought my original camera was going bad from age and was going to replace it, Wrong! The camera was fine, it was the original factory radio that was washed out. And I’m rally loving the extra HDMI & USB-C ports. Sometimes it’s nice to throw my USB stick that has 30,000 music files on it as well as a few videos & movies as well. The sound & picture directly via USBc 3.2 sounds far better than when using car play. So for that I made 2 different custom EQ’s to tailor each one. And, it’s also nice to use USBc for CarPlay which leaves the Bluetooth empty to hopefully use a simple Bluetooth audio controller as well (if I can find one). And I think I am going to invest $30 to find the Remote Commander (Rm-x400) as the only drawback I’ve run into so far is quickly turning down the volume & the old IR remote for this would really fit that void very well & I have the perfect place to put it under the armrest to use those buttons (my Colorado doesn’t have volume controls on the wheel). ... show more

Eh
So if youre looking at this you're probably like me- I want wireless car play/ Android auto and some of the higher end features cheaper alternatives are missing like a bright, better screen. Brightness being something I see so many people complaining about on aftermarket units, I wanted this for the capacitive screen in hopes that wouldn't be an issue. Well it does meet my expectations though it's still not bright. I painted two gift cards black and shoved them into the bezel to act as a sun shade but even with 15% tint in my truck it's still pretty dim; not bad though I can still see it. Okay so what's the deal with these head units and android auto in general? I have a S21 Ultra and the audio clips in and out, something I've read a lot of similar stories on OEM or aftermarket. You'd think, being such a great selling point for newer vehicles and units like this they'd figure it out, right? Carplay seems to work just fine wireless but android, not so much. I'll most likely end up using this unit wired. Ouch, just paid a load of money for that and I can't use it. Unit that's wired only is half as much. So genuinely think about that before you buy this thing. No second camera input? Seriously? $100 Boss unit that I took out had that, and steering wheel controls. Fix that Sony! So some positives. This thing looks excellent in the car. I mean seriously nobody got the memo that clean minimalist design is in and goddy early 2000s need for speed died years ago? The UI is very nice on the eyes. And the unit looks comparable to some auto makers OEM units. This thing never fails to pair to my phone. Bang on every time, and it's super quick. The sound is pretty good too. My set up is very simple and balanced. Some JBL 6x8s in the doors, and Rockford fosgate shallow 12" sub powered by a JBL monoblock in my 07 F150. I expected a bump in fidelity over the cheap Boss unit that was in the truck before but this thing is so smooth on the highs and mids. It's the amp and dac that's built in and the ability to stream flac and alac. Just more information making it to the speakers. Life lesson, this will always be the case for any audio interface. Give it more information and it'll smooth the "fatigue" right out of the system, if you catch my drift. Audiophile? Eh, audio is extremely subjective. But the volume I can push before this pains me is far higher than before, that's a good sign, not necessarily something I indulge in though. The unit itself, is for the most part pretty snappy getting around (outside of android auto). It's about as fast as you'd expect but seriously, going at the rate we are, it'll be the 22nd century before these units respond as well to finger presses as our current phones. You should expect a slight delay. This is pretty much all head units and OEM nav units (I've worked at a dealership and tried most automakers). All in all this thing is pretty cool. Irritated that it costs Sony probably $3 more to make an 8" or 9" unit but they'll charge hundreds more. I'm irritated that head units are still miles behind OEM, and OEM is miles behind a phone that came out 10 years ago (no for real an iphone 5 is faster than most nav systems I've used). And I'm irritated most importantly that Android auto wirelessly is a joke (in my case, your mileage may vary). Would I buy this for a second car? No way. Id try something else out, or if available I'd swap in a factory system. ... show more

I honestly love this stereo... I wish it had aux input via 3.5" jack though
One annoying thing I used to have with Android Auto was frequent disconnects. So when I saw this device, I was hesitant to buy it... but then I read the reviews about LDAC support and decided to give it a shot. Now, this is a really good unit. It has USB-C support and HDMI micro inputs so you can hook up either one. But I used to hook my Samsung A54 up to this via USB. After a while, it didn't really work too well that way... and so I'd stop plugging it into it until I could fix that. In a minute or so, I noticed that the device still connected to my phone using wireless Android Auto. Now, this is not using LDAC audio as far as I know to send audio over... it looks to be using almost like a casting, local wifi type mechanism for it. But either way, it sounds really good. It apparently reports as supporting 48kHz/24-bit audio which sounds great in a car. Interface is excellent as it is with most Sony radios... but I really like the sound coming from it and wireless Android Auto is excellent and stable for me all the time. People with iPhones may have different results as we know iPhones tend to not support hi-res audio standards like LDAC and USB-C, etc. But to all those complaining about iPhones with lightning ports not being able to use USB-C, that's not really Sony's fault, is it? Apparently it can use wireless CarPlay but people say it's unstable. I can't answer to that since I have a Samsung Fold 4... but for the Samsung phones, I can say that this is very stable, very convenient, and it just sounds really good. It's nice to just get in a car and not even have to break out the phone to use it. ... show more

Good unit with one major downside

Installed on a Nissan D40 Navara with an external amplifier. Being used with an Android device. Pros: - superb sound quality - user interface is simple yet stylish and very snappy - powerful eq - android auto and bluetooth connectivity is quick and seamless - physical buttons are very nice Cons: - no option to adjust source volume, or sound settings per source. So you're left with some sources sounding different than others (e.g. Bluetooth vs. Radio) - screen quality. this is a big one. while the screen quality itself is good, it does NOT get very bright. It is a struggle to see anything on it during the day when the sun is out. - screen mirroring from your phone isn't an option I would have given the unit a 3.5/5 if I could. A 4.5/5 if it wasn't for the screen brightness. But overall, a very solid unit at its price point. ... show more

Fantastic CarPlay radio. But the price is steep.
While I absolutely love this radio, it only lasted me a few months before I ended up purchasing a new car. I installed this in a 2003 Buick Century Custom, it not only has Bluetooth Connectivity, and the ability to add USB ports, the radio also has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The quality definitely felt beyond the price I paid, there was strong base, as well as easy ability to play music from YouTube and Apple Music. This radio will fit very easily into any car with a double din mounting connection. The space where all the ports are happen to be on a single din, giving the other half to tuck your cables through. Therefore it can fit easily into any space. Whether restricted or not. It can also be hooked in with a backup camera but I didn’t use this function. Aside from that I eventually ended up removing the radio from the car because a few months after buying and installing the radio, I ended up trading the car in and I wasn’t going to trade the car in with the fancy radio to the dealer. But aside from that, this is a fantastic radio and I highly recommend it. ... show more
