If you're looking for a fantastic replacement for your ageing vehicle's single DIN stock head unit, don't look any further than this. Poor reviews literally have to be operator error and/or people too lazy to fix their problems. I replaced my ‘05 Dodge Dakota radio with this unit. Even before replacing the stock speakers, the difference in sound quality was very impressive. Wiring this sucker is a breeze if you have any idea what you're doing, and the optional preamp 5v outputs (in case you are bypassing your harness wiring) are another beautiful perk. The EQ and subwoofer controls are all very impressive, and the options for both low and high pass filters work very well for integrated crossovers. If you've ever seen a Dodge Dakota radio from this era, you'll know it has a weird size and is terribly placed just under the center vents but above the climate controls, with a big ol shifter shooting out from the steering column almost right in front of it. This makes installing a decent double DIN or fold down style touch screen unit nearly impossible. I cannot stress enough how easy SONY made it to pop this sucker in. It looks like it was MADE for my truck. The glare is not bad at all, and while everybody else complains about the resistive touch screen, honestly I was blown away. I've owned plenty of low end touchscreen models (and even some twice this price) that had absolutely awful lag and choppy response to touch. This bad boy is incredibly responsive and fluid as it gets. I could not be more impressed with this product. The *ONLY* issue I had was an issue where the touchscreen would become unresponsive at high volumes. Called SONY support who promptly sent me out a new unit, which is functioning like a dream. I can't say it enough times. If you want an Apple/Android linkable head unit that crushes the competition for a steal of a price, snap this thing up. It's incredible.

Screen catches a lot of glare. Can only store one phone Bluetooth profile. Does Sony not know that more than one person might own a car thus wanting more than one phone to be able to connect to Bluetooth? In other words - my wife's phone is synced to the receiver. If I'm in the car by myself and want my phone to connect to the receiver I have to delete my wife's phone first. \r\n\r\nIn addition the screen catches a ton of glare.\r\n\r\nFinally, satellite radio doesn't buffer at all so as soon as I go under an overpass I'll lose my signal.

I have been a pro installer for 20 years, and I installed this radio in my truck. The other reviews are very misleading. Updating the firmware will unlock many features others are complaining about not having, such as mirrorlink and customizable backgrounds. Those complaining about freezing and not working properly, need to swap their phone cable. A cheap or worn out cable will give these problems. This radio is fantastic, and has a 3 year warranty. Great job team Sony

I’m a Sony retailer and installed this in my demo vehicle. I love this radio. Sony is the easiest of all brands to operate. The sound quality is so much better than some other brands and while it’d be nice to have maestro compatibility (coming next year) it’s not a deal breaker on most vehicles. I’ve sold many of these and so far haven’t had any complaints. Keep up the good work Sony.

Bought this to install in a 1980 International Scout and it fit perfectly. The multitude of screen adjustments make it look like it was designed for the old truck. CarPlay is awesome. The size of the screen surpasses most factory screens in new cars. T.he only complaint is it didn't ship with a single DIN mount chassis. Found one online and problem solved.

Just finished installing this into my 01 mustang, and was very happy with how it ended up sitting in the dash. CarPlay works great, super nice having Bluetooth that works again, and it sounds a lot better then my previous head unit. On my first drive with it however I was immediately greeted with a massive amount of glare on the screen that made it almost unusable at times. Was hoping that I missed a second screen protector but couldn't see anything that looked like they was true. Waited months to finally get this, and so far I'm not sure if it was worth the wait.

It does not do what it says it will, was not able to mirror my phone with the app that is on the receiver, I had to purchase a separate item, the Streambeam Mini 2, I had to pay extra to get the Sony receiver to do what it should have done on its own! Not happy about this. Additionally the receiver should be able to tilt a bit to the left so the driver can adjust as necessary. Finally a cover should come with this item to block the sun it is hard to see the screen with all the sun glare! Not happy!!

I have owned this radio for about 6 months now. It will only connect to Apple CarPlay about half the time. You have to constantly unplug and plug in the cord to get it to work when it is working (and I've tried multiple cords and phones to troubleshoot). Also, the "ant-glare" screen is a joke! When you are driving towards the sun, you can't see the screen at all because of the reflection off of you and the rest of the car. It shows 10 times the glare than a regular screen (I thought the other reviews were made up). I have also owned the 5000 model in this vehicle and the clear screen is much better than the "anti-glare".

Screen is low resolution and glare is horrible. Sounds good. Here's what I wish Sony would build and if they did, I bet it would sell like the PS5. Large screen (8", 9", 10" 11"...etc. Like the competition!) with high resolution. Make a floating screen version and one that mounts in dash if someone doesn't like floating screens (like Pioneer does). Built in 4x45 watt rms amp (or better?). Wireless Android Auto/Carplay. Maestro RR compatibility.

Reviewed on www.ebay.com·juslaw59
First off, this stereo is alright. Like many others, some better and more detailed options wouldnt hurt.\n\nHowever, to the first review as a reply... poster does not have much insite when it comes to the basics physics behind sound waves. Anything below 90~ish herts begins to become omni directional due to the wave length being far greater than anything in or even near the vehicle. This is why most bass in music and most movies is just mono set in the first place. So requesting or even EXPECTING stereo bass outputs is pretty unrealistic and completely unnecessary. To give a better sense of surround sound, having drivers in the doors be able to reach low bands would be a MUCH better option as what mid/ hi-bass is going to them would give a far better sound that can be controlled not just in stereo but it actual surround sound.

I'm usually a person that's well aware of the saying "you get what you pay for". I really like the speed and sound quality. However, for the better half of a thousand dollars, the screen quality is sub-par. The sun glare is absolutely atrocious. In the night it looks ok. There are other radios that half the price and do the same thing, dare I say they do it better. Overall it's a nice radio, but not for the price.

Sounds great, picks up distant stations better than any of my other ones, I like that it sticks out a couple inches which makes it easier to tap, I love the volume control rather than touchscreen. Make sure you use a quality high speed cable to connect to. Said it was used but seemed new to me, great price, fast shipping, and stands behind the product with questions answered.
