3:10 now this is somebody who knows whats up, my dad fell victim to one of those cheap chinese junk radios that can barely hold a Bluetooth connection. It was an expensive lesson learnt. I was very lucky to have bought this head unit as my 2nd unit.
Hey man, I've been burned many times by what seemed like a good deal.. now I spend a little extra and go for longevity.. my main channel is KBeric @bericbuilds here on YT
Wait so you’re telling me a $50 head unit from Amazon built with glue by a Chinese sweat shop doesn’t have the same quality as a $500 Sony head unit? 😤😤😤
Lmao! That's it. If I had never worked at a audio shop and only got my information off of youtube I would probably have purchased an android headunit and bragging about how good it is in someone's comments. So many people have been fooled by these content creators and purchased junk... I'm just trying to help spread awareness. :]
@34dawgsgo great purchase! Mine has done well and has had a lot of use. The only thing it's done that is weird, randomly and rarely, the unit will freeze while using android auto and I have to manually turn it off for 30 seconds and power it back up. I've had to do that about 5-6 times over the time I've owned it. No biggy to me and is probably a firmware issue with android.
Are you pretty happy with the touch screen on this one? I know it's resistive rather than capacitive, but I reckon anything's an improvement from my basic single-DIN bluetooth HU on my Grand Marquis lol.
I just got a 6000 and I love it. The 5v and capacitive screen was worth the jump. Is there a way to turn off the screen though? That’s the only thing I miss from my dinosaur HU, a Panasonic strada from 2007
i had this install on a Chevy traverse and all warning alarms don't sound the same. keys on the ignition when opening the door turning signal on for too long emergency lights on seatbelt alarm airbag on alarm they sound weird like they are coming from the head unit. they dont sound as cool as they used to be before i had this install. what is the problem. help please
Awesome video thanks for sharing this information. Have you experienced any lag or issues with wireless Apple car play? That’s the only thing I’m worried about.
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?
You have to change your settings in the phone... I think it is under android auto app settings. Search android auto on your phone search. Maybe permissions also.
It's definitely more output, and having the eq would be far superior to the Toyota base model, I have this same video up on my main channel @bericbuilds ... I respond faster. This is just a backup in case they delete my channel.
My android auto would not connect. It was working last week and now it wouldnt connect. I use a pixel 7 phone and everything is updated. Can u help pls
Is there a volume mute button? I really like this headunit but there’s no volume knob. Any way to just mute the music without having to turn it down all the way? Thanks
@@RySpazzin honestly nothing really i love the unit just curious about wireless aa and maestro. I have it hooks up to kappas and infinity 5 channel. Sounds skins all around crutfhfield wiring etc.
@@JVSTlCE they put the microphone in the upper left hand corner of the window. I've adjusted all the different volumes and it sounds like there talking through a tin can
@@pittstonjoma enjoy it. My main channel is abstract acoustics on YT... hit me up there if you need any help with the factory steering wheel wire colors. I got you. If you search abstract acoustics... KBeric should pop up on YT. Thats me.
@@JayyBird93 I believe it just needs a standard wire harness unless it's amplified... if it's amplified, I would bypass the factory amp. Check out my main channel bericbuilds
@JayyBird93 no you can catch all 4 wires at the amplifier.. it is probably not amplified if you don't see a logo in the car for a premium sound system.
THANK YOU FOR DESCRIBING EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR, QUALITY PRICE, I BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT AT BEST BUY $429.00 greetings from Mexico.
@@gloriarascon1550 enjoy! Have a great week
Just got mine installed today. Thanks for uploading this, I'm still trying figure it all out and this helped

Awesome review. I'm buying the 6000 but loving the 4000 as well.
Tha is for the review. 👍🏼
No problem bro
Good choice btw. Sony is top of the game right now.
Bought this today. A total novice I am on these. From the reviews this will do nicely.

@@JVSTlCE New radio much cheaper than a new car. Backup cam now. Uptown!!!
@@JVSTlCE Android here. If I can get Wayze through phone via wireless to big screen will be a happy camper.

Absolutely. Looking back I would've done the AX6000 for higher voltage pre-outs. BericBuilds is my main YT channel. Have this video there too

Hold down the HOME button
i had this install on a Chevy traverse and all warning alarms don't sound the same.
keys on the ignition when opening the door
turning signal on for too long
emergency lights on
seatbelt alarm
airbag on alarm
they sound weird like they are coming from the head unit.
they dont sound as cool as they used to be before i had this install. what is the problem. help please
Can it play mp3 & mp4 from a USB stick? Did I hear correctly it has steering wheel control built in?
Yes steering wheel control built in for most vehicles, can play a USB stick if you have a type c to USB adapter. The plug on the back is type c
This was really helpful, thanks!
Awesome video thanks for sharing this information. Have you experienced any lag or issues with wireless Apple car play? That’s the only thing I’m worried about.
I run android. Coworkers apple carplay is fine
I have this installed in my car the system awesome.
@@charvicper awesome man! Do you like the wireless android auto? *or car play
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?
Does not display in 1080p. I would guess 720p at best.
Does this have screen mirroring
Nope
I can't see the camera if I don't enter the P number. Please help me how to view the camera. Thanks
Purp with white wire to reverse I believe
How do you get the voice command to work? It always replies with personal results in vehicle needs permission from Google assistant.
You have to change your settings in the phone... I think it is under android auto app settings. Search android auto on your phone search. Maybe permissions also.
how is the power and sound over stock? I have an older weak toyota base model and am curious how much louder it will be.
It's definitely more output, and having the eq would be far superior to the Toyota base model, I have this same video up on my main channel @bericbuilds ... I respond faster. This is just a backup in case they delete my channel.
Do you recommend to get the maestro?
Maestro is great!
I'm having trouble connecting Android auto wireless, my phone don't get linked 😢
Turn your wifi off and Bluetooth off then back on. Make sure android auto is updated on your phone
Can you show us the harnesses that you've used for the connection in your car? I have that same car and I want to use my stock camera and microphone
You will need the pin out for your factory harness to integrate. I don't make any money from youtube so I can't get to every request. I apologize.
@@JVSTlCE Thank you for the response! could you have installed that radio without the maestro? And the steering wheel function be kept?
@@SuperHondaFitDriver yes. I'm not using maestro and have my steering wheel functionality retained
My android auto would not connect. It was working last week and now it wouldnt connect. I use a pixel 7 phone and everything is updated. Can u help pls
It's probably time to replace...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is there a volume mute button? I really like this headunit but there’s no volume knob. Any way to just mute the music without having to turn it down all the way? Thanks
Yep there is a quick mute center button
Does it tell you battery life and tire pressure?
Hi. Have you used a 200mm trim plate around the unit?
I used the Metra gloss black dash kit
Check out my main channel @bericbuilds
I have exactly the same car. Did you have to use a bezel or do they adjust without the need for accessories?
I bought the Metra dash kit/bezel. At first I just used the factory brackets from the factory radio

@@JVSTlCE thanks.
i have the 5500 thinking of getting this or alpine/kenwood..idk might stay with 5500 idk about clock in middle..lol..
What’s wrong with the 5500?
@@RySpazzin honestly nothing really i love the unit just curious about wireless aa and maestro. I have it hooks up to kappas and infinity 5 channel. Sounds skins all around crutfhfield wiring etc.
Can you turn the screen off while the music still plays?

I respond faster on my main channel @bericbuilds ... I have this same video up there as well and much more content
Thanks man
@@JayB28215 absolutely bro
I just got the 4000 installed last Friday. Are you having any issues with the person calling you have a bad echo?
Volume up to high. The volumes are all independent and have to be set in menu
And where did they put the mic?
@@JVSTlCE they put the microphone in the upper left hand corner of the window. I've adjusted all the different volumes and it sounds like there talking through a tin can
@@michaelkent4002 I would get them to swap your mic. Mine sounds great on both ends
@@JVSTlCE thank you
I want to replace my old pioneer with this
DO IT! Or the XAV-AX6000 if you want to one up me. Higher voltage pre-outs for amps
@@JVSTlCE I bought the 4000. We're going to put it in the car this weekend. 👍

Crutchfield says an interface module is needed for steering control?
There are a couple vehicles with weird electrical that need their vehicle specific adapter. But 80% work without one.
@@JVSTlCEI know you said you work at a shop, do you happen to know if a 2003 Lincoln TownCar needs the aftermarket module?
@@JayyBird93 I believe it just needs a standard wire harness unless it's amplified... if it's amplified, I would bypass the factory amp. Check out my main channel bericbuilds
@@JVSTlCE is the only way to bypass to run new wiring to each speaker? I’m honestly not sure if it’s amplified
@JayyBird93 no you can catch all 4 wires at the amplifier.. it is probably not amplified if you don't see a logo in the car for a premium sound system.
