High Resolution 7” Touchscreen
The displays that put Sony at the head of the TV industry are now integrated into the 12-volt car industry. The Sony XNV-770BT features a large 7” touch screen display that makes your DVDs look incredible and make the on-screen controls easier to use. By increasing the screen size of the car stereo, more room is left to the user for the basic operations, gesture controls, and a larger display for watching your favorite movies. Stay informed and stay entertained with the large display.
Advanced GPS Navigation from TomTom
Introducing the first units that Sony has released with the TomTom GPS navigation interface, the Sony XNV-770BT and the XNV-660BT. The advanced TomTom navigation system features map updates, real-time feedback, text-to-speech spoken street names, my TomTom software, and more! IQ Routes evaluates routes based on the actual speed of traffic and will then recommend the fastest route. The result is a more accurate, faster way to travel. The lane guidance informs the driver what lane they need to be in order to make the right turns at the right time. The Quick GPSFix system will predict satellite positions for a quicker GPS pick-up and faster starts. Trust Sony and TomTom for accurate and fast navigation to your destination.
Integrated Bluetooth Technology
Take calls and stream audio with ease! The Sony XNV-770BT makes connecting a Bluetooth device easy. After the fast and easy pairing process, you will be able to make and receive calls. Included in the box is a wired microphone that can be installed to the position in the car that will be the best. Phone books are transferred to the unit to make it easy to make calls from the stereo. If you have an media device that can stream audio using A2DP, the Bluetooth connection will allow that music to stream wirelessly directly to the stereo.
Seamless iPod/iPhone Integration
Connect an iPod or an iPhone to the Sony XNV-770BT and you will experience the ultimate in iPod integration. Fast and seamless playback of audio files is standard, as well as video files with the correct video cable. The EQ7 and advanced sound engines tune the music to perfection so you can hear the music the way it should be heard. Switch over to the SensMe application and let it choose the music for you. Along with the seamless iPod connection, Sony incorporates high-end audio processing into this unit. The Center Speaker Optimizer (CSO) shapes the sound in the vehicle to create a virtual center speaker. A 24-bit Digital-to Analog converter ensures higher quality sound processing of the music.

The unit itself is alright, probably on par with other similar devices in this price range (from JVC, Pioneer, etc) but the user interface is incredibly stupid! It looks as though Sony UI developers have been living in a vacuum. It does not support internalization at all, so playing an mp3 with asian, arabic or cyrillic ID3 tags brings the unit to halt by trying to read the file. After about 10 minutes of unsuccessful read attempts, it just shuts off. Also keep in mind that if you're into long mixes over an hour long, the speeds of fast-forward and Rev are extremely slow (x2 max) and there is no control over the progress bar like you have in winamp. Second, it does not have any codecs what's so ever. So if you're planning on watching .mp4, .avi or .mov movie, you might as well take a laptop. I bought this particular model only because of TomTom, but even that gave up on me. I had instances when I was driving for an hour(!) and it was still not able to find any satellites. And lastly, the overall hardware design is pretty flimsy. It might just be me, but there are some loose parts in the screen that constantly rattles when you hit a bump. After such a horrible experience, I decided to build my own carputer.

The screen on this is beautiful. Videos look amazing on this. I haven't had any GPS problems. The only thing I hate is the ipod UI. It's pretty bad. No option to search and once you pick a song to play and go back to select another one you have to go all the way back and start the whole process from the beginning. Much easier to just control the ipod manually. Overall though this is a nice product, especially at the price.

I love the look and functionality of this unit. I have had a couple of issues that I've had to deal with. The first is when I turn on the car it is not always on the station I was listening to when I turned the car off. The other issue is the RCA outputs. When I connected them to my sub amp, it wasn't putting out a lot of bass. I ended up putting a line out converter with level adjustments to get the sound I want. No major issues, but it's good to know what you're dealing with before hand.

I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone that wants to experience and use an actual unit that will work. I have installed the unit and I have had it in my vehicle for 2 days and the unit is defective out of the box. I have come to figure out that the unit has been discontinued (I CAN TELL WHY) and the unit is one of the worst units I have ever installed or dealt with. I was a certified installer for 7 years and I am currently a mechanic. I have installed 100's of units and this is by far a let down. I am not impressed at all. I had the opportunity to use my unit twice since I have installed it and I have spent the rest of the time starring at a black screen. AWESOME! NOT!
