Thanks for a great video. I bought this stereo for my car yesterday and the company I bought it from wanted to charge me close to £100 to fit it. I fitted it in 30 mins this morning... and it works 👍🏻 thanks again
this is the kind of radio i was looking for my 2015 toyota tacoma i want it simple . thank you very much i love sony you can't go wrong with all their car radios
I’ve just bought this radio. As I wanted Bluetooth etc. No issues with my old radio, it worked perfectly. But when I connected my radio to my car, the radio doesn’t turn on. I’ve checked the manual and tried resetting etc, but nothing seems to work. Any help appreciated.
If you have problems with update of DSX-A410BT , you need to format the stick only in FAT(FAT16), it will not work if you format in FAT32. That means you need a stick with a memory of max. 4GB.
Don't do it bro my wife bought me one for Christmas this radio sucks I thought I was getting a upgrade this radio has no treble settings or Bass it gives you equalizer settings for this not the same I would not recommend this radio My Old School radio works way better and sounds way better

Bit of delayed response here, this car he installed it in is the same as mine, mk4 SEAT Ibiza, and no sadly the OEM radio they came with also has a plastic shroud which you just pop off and put over this new one, you'll either have to buy one to your make and model or it probably won't need one depending on the radio you're replacing

Yes common problem and that’s why radio manufacturers have bullet connections on both the red and yellow wires. Simply pull them apart and put yellow to red and red to yellow👍🏻

Hi, i need advice, i bought this radio, its perfect, but whenever i turn of my car, it resets all the settings, forgets my phones bluetooth etc. Any advices please?
I bought brand new, i got the new harness, the radio works fine, but i can only pick up one radio station the rest in my area is not picking up any others station, cannot think what the problem is
Great little review there. I don’t know if you could advise me. I’ve recently bought a 2005 Toyota Avensis with the standard Toyota radio in it, but it only seems to receive 4 radio stations, 3 of which are crackly when driving around, the only one I can get clearly is radio one(which I don’t particularly want!). Now I had an older BMW 3 series prior to the Toyota Avensis I’ve got now, and that received around 8 stations clearly. So obviously it’s nothing to do with my location(a town in Worcestershire). So what do you think is the problem? I know my Toyota has a built in aerial in the rear window, the same as my old BMW. I was thinking perhaps the aerial on the Toyota is just really bad, but then I thought surely it would be able to get more than one radio station even if the aerial was rubbish? Could it be the actual radio at fault? I want to upgrade it to a Bluetooth stereo like the one in this video, but I don’t want to buy it and fit it only to find that I’m still only receiving radio one! Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated 👍🏻
Most models of Avensis have a antenna booster in the rear quarter pillar that over time gets damp and starts to break down due to internal corrosion. You best bet would to find a good used one and replace that first because otherwise you could be going around the problem rather than curing it. If this does not work also take a look at the little lines on the glass where they meet the wiring connector to see if they are unbroken and clean of any corrosion.
I fit it in my car,tuned it all in, works fine, when I take the key out of the ignition it all disappears and I have to reset it all again, what am I doing wrong?
@@golidelihle960 You need to swap the yellow and red cables on the harness which connect to the wiring to your car. Hope that helps. Had the same issue and it was a simple fix.

The power output is it states is maximum and not sustained (pmpo not rms) your head unit starts sending heat (distortion) to the speakers after the limit has been reached. I would suggest turning it down a tad as it will damage the speakers. This is assuming the speakers are wired correctly and they are the correctly matched wattage to the head unit.
Good video , I have a Sony DSX-A400BT in my car that I just bought , the phone conection works but the person calling can't hear me ?, not sure if I need to plug a mic in or if it already has one , can you help?

Switch the yellow and red wires so that red goes to yellow and yellow goes to red. Both wires will have bullet connectors in the middle so it's easy to switch them.
It's complicated because the own car acoustic characteristics, the mount, type, power, etc of your speakers and your own preferences make impossible to recommend a exact settings for you. It's time to take some time and play withe equalisation values to find the best settings "for you" Regards.
The receiver has a "call" button but I dont see a microphone or plug for hands free calling. How does this work? Great review and installation guide btw.
You don't. I've never had such a complicated stereo in my life and even if you do succeed, it loses connection Everytime you stall or turn off ignition and the proxedure to reconnect and wait is painful and most often impossible.
I bought this stereo today from halfords i was told i need to run another wire to my cigarette lighter for the stereo to switch on and off with the ignition is this correct ?
If it doesn’t do that normally with your car, a couple of wire in the back need to be swapped over. It is a common issue so there is lots of information online about it and how to do it.
