Not too great

I spent a little more to get the Sony name and the bluetooth for my phone, but the interface is a bit slow and my buttons have become misaligned. This prevents me from changing my volume without the remote.

Superb

I've had this stereo for the past one month and I must say it packs a solid punch with excellent sound, and very deep bass. The set up was quite easy on my 2004 Subaru Legacy [once I got the double din fittings from the UK]. The bluetooth integration with my N97mini is awesome and is very clear during calls. The responsive time for bluetooth interaction is a bit slow. IPod connectivity is also very good and responsive.
All in all it is a very good system and I'm very happy with the package.

Sony XAV-70BT is adequate

The system is adequate for what it is. If you want to utilize all the features of this system it really falls behind the curve of the Pioneer or Kenwood models with similar features and price range.

Cons:
-The touch screen interface lags a lot and could become quite a nuisance when changing radio stations and switching to other functions.
-There is no video bluetooth option.
-The access time of the ipod controls are slow, but once connected it works fine.
-the bluetooth mic is weak

Pros:
-the Bluetooth audio is great.
-lots of options to control the sound levels and positioning.
-the DVD quality is great.

Overall the system is just ok, for the money I would have gotten something else.

Don't buy.

The goods:
-screen looks nice
-sits nice and flush
-fast bluetooth connection

The bads:
-touch screen randomly works so changing radio stations, initial setup, skipping songs, ect. is next to impossible. If it wasn't for this it would be a perfect unit. It is annoying and is a hardware problem that cannot be fixed.

Good deal but a little slow

The TV works great as advertised. Has a fantastic picture as well as sound. The unit is slow during the transition to other screens but I do have to understand that it's not a super computer. But still.

All in all a good buy.

Getting returned...

Pros: Great sound, decent video, and price (about half that of C**********).

Cons: From a speed standpoint, it's like trying to run Windows 7 Ultimate 64 on a netbook with 128mb of memory. From a graphical perspective, it looks like a Commodore 64, or Atari. Yes, the screen is crisp can clear, but it has no pizzazz.

When attempting to play video files (properly formatted for the unit) either from disc or USB will take between 60 seconds and 3 minutes. All the while the unit displays an unresponsive black screen. I am embarrassed to demo this unit to friends.

When accessing any function via the touch screen, the slow, jerky animations must complete (taking up to 5 seconds) before the screen will accept any new input commands. Even then, it sometimes take two or three attempts before the command is recognized and executed. This is particularly frustrating, dangerous and distracting while driving.


Sonic has been great to work with and offered a full credit. I'm just researching alternatives now. But, for those considering this unit, be warned - it is SLOW and LAGGY.

Great Head Unit

This unit does everything as advertised and does it well ! Picture quality is one of the best on the market , touch controls are not to sensistive and respond quickly. Bluetooth intergration was seamless and is very simple. Most importantly sound quality is outstanding. Sony specifies Bit rates of play back at 192 but I've had no issues at 320 or 256 w/ MP3 or WMA. I have always been a Kenwood and Alpine fan but for $400 bucks Sony did a great job of matching up with the higher end guys for much less !!!!!

Great factory install look!

I installed the Sony XAV-70BT into my 2008 Chrysler 300C SRT Design and it looks very clean and much better than the My-Gig unit that can come with the 300C's. There are literally no bulky externat buttons on the Sony XAV-70BT and it's bluetooth works very well as well as iPod interface. The unit itself has slow response to selected menu options, but I knew this prior to purchase. It compliments the 300C very nicely. Overall, I would recommend this unit to anyone NOT requiring navigation.
