Do you have to download firmware to USB drive and then into the head unit, or can I download right off the head unit? And can you change the led color buttons? (Haven't bought it yet)
@@Jaydogg209 I don't think you can change the button color. You can change the wallpaper. I used the USB drive method to upgrade the firmware, but there is also a USB tethering option listed in the manual. Not sure how that works exactly.
For the steering wheel control if you have it setup for to change Source, does it go through every source you have or only the ones you have selected at the bottom?
If you are looking to buy this headunit please read this comment first. I have recently installed this same headunit into my 2007 Lexus ES 350, and I use the Apple Carplay features. He got some things wrong in this video. At 1:11 he claims this unit does wired / wireless Android Auto and wired / wireless Apple Carplay. THIS IS NOT TRUE. This headunit only does wireless Apple Carplay. If you are expecting to use this headunit and use the USB-C output for wired Apple Carplay it will not work. Make sure your iPhone is compatible with wireless Carplay. Second of all, at 2:12 he claims the GPS antenna will make it more accurate. In order to use Carplay with this headunit it is REQUIRED to install the GPS antenna. If the GPS antenna is not installed or installed incorrectly CARPLAY WILL NOT WORK. Make sure to do more resaerch before buying this headunit. If you found this comment helpful please like it so more people will usnderstand what this headunit is capable of and save some headaches. Thanks!
Yes all true. Sony did some unorthodox things on this radio but other brands are similar with the antenna wireless won’t work unless the antenna is hooked up. Thanks for clearing this up hopefully others will read this. Thanks for the comment!
thanks for the video, it very helpful i am buying one soon , also considering to buy a backup camera install it together, do you know if this unit support 1080P back up camera input or not?
We're driving cars not sitting on our couches...how can you leave out the volume knob....sheesh! We need as many tactile buttons on these devices so we can keep our eyes on the road. I wonder if the people who designed these devices are even human.
I agree my ford came with a kenwood and I love it but it doesn't have the volume knob, sometimes i miss the buttons havinf the knob woukd be way easier
Sony are kidding themselves when they say anti glare screen ive got a 3200 and it's crap in sunlight but i did a carlinkit air 2 and the wireless android auto work great cost 200 bucks less
New subscriber. Friend, I need your help. I need a a car stereo with Apple Carplay AND an excellent tuner. I like to listen to a radio when commuting. I have yet to find an aftermarket head unit that receives FM (analog and digital) as well as the average OEM head unit. Please advise. Peace.
I hate that sony has terrible updates. After 3 years, I wish i could have the option of updating my XAV-AX700 interface to something more like this! This looks a bit better than mine! But i cant. Stuck with mediocre interface.
FYI: The latest firmware from Sony allows you to change the analog clock on the home screen to digital or remove it altogether.
Just ordered this how do I update it?
Can you install third party apps on this or not
@@greybeard716 No, this is not that kind of stereo.

How responsive is the screen as it is resistive correct and brightness?
can this be fitted on a 2010 Mustang GT with SYNC and factory Shaker no subwoofer in the trunk?
Whats the resolution of the screen when using CarPlay?
Getting your hands on the new SoloX kicker subwoofer any time soon?
do you need those Rr maestro and SirusXM ddevices for this radio to work?
When will the Sony XAV-9000ES be released?
have a Radio Data System? Hi! . I would like to buy the 6000 for a nissan qashqai j10 but I live in Italy and it's not yet for sale.
Do you have a review of the Sony AX6000?
Hi ...there is head unit for pajero sport 2020
Really wish Sony would do front cameras on their head units
How does it compare to Alpine ILX 507

I think they chose resistive over capacitive so that you could use the screen while wearing gloves.
I thought it was wireless CarPlay only? Not both.
Which is a 2 din CarPlay 360 cameras TPMS and 2din screen no floating screen
thanks for the video, it very helpful i am buying one soon , also considering to buy a backup camera install it together, do you know if this unit support 1080P back up camera input or not?
Thanks for the comment. The camera will only support 480. Most in dash radios are limited to that…. I’m not sure why… they should be at least 720p
Hey Mike, is there any aftermarket radio that will allow to continue using the stock phone mic?
i don't think so

Agree… we need a knob.
Steering wheel controls
Almost every car has it
I don't mind volume buttons. I would like some tactile numbered buttons for changing stations though.
@@jschackmann2 I would take tactile buttons and a volume knob over steering wheel controls any day! Much easier to maneuver.
Thanks for the video. is the ax6000 a big difference? Thanks again.
As far as I know the only difference is the voltage
Is there a way to make the radio shut off when the car turns off? My new radio is draining my car’s battery.
Yes hook up the red wire to ignition
How does this look in direct sunlight? I heard that was a criticism for one of the earlier Sony XAV models.
I've just installed a 3200 and it's terrible in the sunlight can't see shit
It doesn’t look great. There’s definitely plenty of washout. You can still see it but that’s the most underwhelming part of the unit.
Hello, can you make me a video of the kenwood excelon dmx958xr and give your opinion, I'm interested in buying it, thanks
Is this single DIN? Or just a bit bigger?
Pretty sure it installs and fully fits double din

Alpine car stereos can give you a better FM radio signal.
The Xav-4000 vs the DMH 2770? Which one do you prefer?
Sony

Is the face detachable?
No it’s not detachable
Does it work on 2007 cars?
yes, works on my 07 350z
@@BreezyCoasters thank you sm, i needed that info!! , and cool car 👌😎
@@SonINK thank you! but yeah as long as your 07 can fit a double din size it’ll work

So why didnt you demo android auto as well?
Everyone but one person at the shop has an iPhone and he was off that day!! 🤣🤣true story!
@@BreakersStereo lame excuse. Seem apple bias
Sony XAV-AX6000 VS Kenwood DMX 1057XR ????????????????? 😡😡😡
The editing is annoying cause your not showing the responsiveness of the screen..no need to have that many cuts.
I wanna see face of guy who have decided to install resistive screen in car audio in 21st century!
😳
This deck is trash wash I would of never got it wast of money old dvd deck works better
