Sony XAV-AX8100 9-inch Floating Multi Media Receiver with Apple Carplay/Android Auto and HDMI Video Input

Easy to install, works great, needed to change the usb cord because the supplied one wasn't allowing the phone to connect for android auto function

Great , very useful , better than exspected

Amazing headunit. No bugs since it's wired. And puts put decent sounds to the Kicker DS 6.5" in my 2006 CRV. Very fast interface since it's wired. But the system settings need alittle updating.

I am really enjoying this head unit. i replaced the stock HU in my 2008 Ford Explorer, with this. The size is perfect in the dash; not too big, not too small. It over laps the factory opening without looking out of place. The mounting system is very sturdy and locked in place, as it should as it has four screws attaching it to the chassis mounted in the dash. the screen is resistive touch, but i don't see that as a negative as i can work the screen with gloves on that don't have the capacitive touch pad in the finger tips. Additionally, the screen is appropriately sensitive and responsive, even in 28 degree morning weather. i like the simple menus and layout of the screen. i like the "hard" buttons which have a nice tactile response to them. a drawback is that there is only one camera input, however, if an HDMI camera could be procured, then that may be an option. The sound quality is far above the OEM HU. I don't feel like i need to constantly try to tweek the settings.

Don't buy this stereo. Problem this stereo has is the wired connection for Android auto or carplay. I thought in the beginning it was my usb c cable but after switching cables 5 times with different brands I search this model and saw other people having the same problem. Basically everything works perfect until for no reason it looses connection with the phone, after that is goes into this cycle of gaining and loosing connection every second. Sometimes disconnecting and connecting the cable from the phone works but other times it doesn't. This problem kill my ubs c port on my phone. I also thought the problem was my phone because after using the stereo for a couple months the ubs c port on my phone when crazy and it stop letting fast charge my phone. Switch to a new phone and after a month the connection problem came back after that I never connect my phone to the stereo again. It doesn't support carplay Bluetooth so at this point stereo is pointless.
