Lots of features available. I play my iPhone thru this every day. Nice to be ableto charge and play at the same time. You have to program the player to be controlled by the iPod or iPhone or else it takes a while to change between songs. No big deal to me. Just an observation.

This unit works great. teh spacing was a bit tight in the Ford Econoline, but with a few edge trimmings, it safely secured itself in the posistion and works great. Hooked it up to a seperate video screen and the picture is awesome. great bang for the buck

The Sony XAV-60 is a solid performer with many features available. The built in tuner has a great sound and the iPod control with adapter is excellent. Would recommend this to anyone whom cannot afford it's big brother or does not need the extra features.

October 20, 2010 Not bad for a Sony

I was a little skeptical about this unit as Sony is not particularly great with head units. I found out that its not bad. The screen is very nice to look at but a little off when it comes to the touchscreen. I had to press a little harder then expected. The swipe controls is a nice thought. It allows the skipping of songs by swiping your finger across the screen rather then pushing the button. Being able to bypass the video lock (by ground the parking break wire) without a switch is a bonus. The sound is very good as well as the level of control, crossovers and others. There is also a feature that enables the rear speakers to be used as subwoofers. The unit sends only low Hz to the rear so its like a subwoofer. This is great if you have a small car with no woofer and want that extra low as long as you have decent speakers in the rear. As for the iPod controls, i have to agree that they are cumbersome. It took a good 10 secs to load each page and i have a lot of music on my ipod so finding the artist i wanted took some time. However there is a scroll bar you can use that makes it a little faster. All in all, the unit seems pretty decent.

October 7, 2010 Great System

This has great sound and was easy to get used to the controls. The DVD playback quality is good if playing wide format DVDs, otherwise it squats the picture. I would prefer to have a USB port at the front of the system rather than a cable. The only problem I had was the Scosche TA07SR wiring harness I purchased along with the Sony XAV-60 would not work with my JBL system so I had to re-wire my sound system. Overall I'm very satisfied.

Well the unit is solid. The screen resolution is amazing, never seen anything like it! Even though it doesn't have as many features as other headunits, It still does a good job. The sound clarity is pretty good. I like the sound features is comes with it. You can't get bluetooth or GPS with this, but I wouldn't be using it anyway. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to spend a lot on a touchscreen headunit. I love playing DVDs in the car now, because it looks amazing. The only con about this, is how slow it can be. But honestly, its a common problem with many headunits, so it isn't a big deal. Best thing about it is the sound clarity and screen resolution!

First off... Sonic Electronix is a awesome company! With very good customer service. Shipping without any problems (shipped to Canada) and very fast! (No they didn't pay me for this comment!)

Now for the unit...

Solid unit, does everything it says. Crazy crazy a** picture! I've seen this unit side by side the JVC KW-AVX830, and it out classed it.

Decent sound. Don't forget this is an entry level unit. Doesn't have all the super hi-tech fancy stuff (7 bands EQ, bluetooth, GPS, etc.), but I didn't need all that stuff. Works great with latest iPhone 3Gs, audio and video (by the way, you need the special Sony cable to get video).

The ONLY thing negative I could say about this unit is that it's slow when you try to navigate through your iPhone content. I don't know if it's because I have a lot of tracks and video or if it's because of the USB connection.

FYI: Durabilty can't be reviewed by me, cause I just got the unit for about a week, when this review was written.
