Thanks for the review. One of the big features I’m interested in is the quick connect feature, which Sony claims will start up the unit and allow it to connect to CarPlay very quickly. Did you find that the time it takes for the unit to turn on, find and connect to your iPhone/CarPlay was faster than most other units?
Your information about having to get an adaptor with an iPhone is incorrect, the new iPhone, 11 promax and 12 and 13 all come with USB cords that have a C end and a lightning end.
how is the wireless carplay reliability? i’m also looking to install this to my 2007 es 350 but i’m concerned about no wired functionality if wireless is bad.
@@braxtonscarbrough5713 I find it only failed when I was starting and shutting the car off too quickly. After all it’s a computer. It does have the wired option. I just asked my installer to put it in my middle console to keep things neat. I only plug the phone in if it’s a long drive. Anything shorted than 15-20 min the phone stays in my pocket.
@@ahmadaddurobii recently just got the car do you know if there’s a way to run wires through the center console while keeping it closed? when it’s open the latch to it will slide around when braking/accelerating
@@braxtonscarbrough5713 it works both wired and wireless. Steering wheel controls working perfectly and Tint World did mine. I asked them to route it to the middle console and they got the usb C through the whole where the AUX used to be
I have this stereo and I love it. The only thing I don't really get is the forced analog clock that you can't get rid of. Like, let's release a nice, modern stereo with all the latest features and innovate! Oh, but let's also force an old timey looking analog clock that you can't remove. ???? What was the thought process there. Maybe they'll let us remove it in a future firmware update...
My iPhone 13 Pro Max with the current system update and my Sony is currently up to date firmware, my wireless CarPlay keeps disconnecting. With maps and sound and everything. How do I fix this?
I just got one installed today and it was working fine with the connection, but now it makes me have to connect on my phone every time and now it doesn’t even show up on my bluetooth list. i dont know what to do
Wired CarPlay not being an option, if I was connected through wireless CarPlay, would I be able to charge my iPhone at the same time without interruption?

It’s definitely faster boot time. In my opinion one of the faster boot up times from any unit I’ve had
FYI: The latest firmware from Sony allows you to change the analog clock on the home screen to digital or remove it altogether.

Just installed this on my 2007 Lexus ES350

@@ahmadaddurobiare you sure the carplay works wired? were you able to connect the steering wheel controls aswell?

Is apple CarPlay stays connected without cutting off?
I like the old analog clock LOL

Bro look, I’m right here with you and no one has anything real to say.
Hi, would you know if video would play through the usb port? Say a MKV/MP4 format?
I think it’s only via hdmi or camera that would work
Should I be concerned about bluetooth longevity vs the reliability of a wired connection?
I don't think so
Why not zoom in the screen?
You can zoom in yourself...
To upload a photo to the background, can I plug it into my android phone and upload from phone storage, or does it have to be a USB drive?
Does anybody experienced a 2 or 3 seconds delay on the wireless audio? Or it’s only mine?
Why not show the subwoofer controls? So far I haven't found one video on these radios that shows the sub controls
There is I watched it a little bit ago someone else on youtube
Does it have A/V? Does it have Mirror?
Can you change the clock to 24 hour configuration?

Yes
This is missing a cassette player also. But you know , the times and all..
To use Ldac will we have to turn it on in the blue tooth settings of android phone?
In the Bluetooth connection for this device, the settings option had it available at the bottom for me, with an android phone
The clock sux
You hit on all the things the AX4000 can do but you didn't bother to show how any of it is done.
You jumped from tuning into CarPlay ,,,,😮WHY ??????
I want to put this in a 2008 Hyundai accent
Bro, what an ugly clock in the middle, I hope there is an update that can give us the ability to change that.
Sorry to say the video captures are very poor. Not good for review.
