I aimed to get CarPlay for my 2014 Highlander, complete with a large screen, ample power for the JBL speakers, and all the functions that come with CarPlay. This Sony deck truly delivers. The perfectly large screen doesn’t block the A/C vents, it swivels for optimal viewing, and is as intuitive to operate as my iPhone 15. Even after two months, I'm still learning the ins and outs and will probably discover new features along the way. BestBuy installed it for free, which is fantastic, and it comes with a lifetime installation guarantee—awesome! I highly recommend having the installer connect an HDMI cable for A/V and a USB-C for charging to keep your options open for the future.

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.

Fantastic radio! Wireless CarPlay works perfectly. Fast, responsive, and the display is very clear. Upgraded from AVX6000 as I'm getting older and need a bigger screen. Love the post-install adjustablility of the screen. Installed in a 2013 Mazda CX-5 and happy that the Maestro box is able to customize wipers and door locks through the head unit.

There’s a lot to like about this head unit, but it does falls short in some areas…. It sounds great,! If you’re like me and exclusively listen to broadcast radio, streaming music services, podcasts, etc… you’ll be more than satisfied with the sound quality. If your that person who has a hard drive loaded with high-res audio files, you’ll want one of the “ES” models. The overall quality of the hardware is above average and the simplicity and intuitiveness of the user interface is elegant and refreshing. Having the large display in my older vehicle is awesome, and I appreciate it’s matte finish. That said, CarPlay text to speach doesn’t work. I’m not sure if it’s an issue with the latest IOS and/or iPhone, or if it’s this head unit, but its a serious issue. Also, there’s no reason this unit shouldn’t have wired CarPlay (in addition to wireless). I’m Hopefull, Sony and/or Apple will correct the text to speech issue with a software/firmware update.

Love this radio. Way better than the old starlink that I had in my 2020 Subaru. Back up camera is super clear.

So far, so good! Love its native compatibility with climate control, tire pressure, etc.

Very nice. Brand New and works perfectly! Very nice. Brand New and works perfectly!

Is not that good the connection of Android car. Often I have to restart the receiver to have again the connection and when I driving have to much interference and connection problems, include the receiver freezes.Is not that good the connection of Android car.
