Sony xav 63

I bought this for my wife to install in her expodition. I paid $200 for the unit including install kit from sonic.. It came quick, installed easy and sounds great. What more can I say.. This is a solid unit works flawlessly and adds a high tech modern touch to her ride.. She loves it..I'm her hero..she's happy.. Everyone's happy.. : ) ..buy it.

Good Value

Didn't quite fit in my 2005 Ford Escape, but after cutting about .25 inch out from inside the dash it slid right in. Had to glue it into place because the brackets wouldn't fit without me causing cosmetic damage to my vehicle. Aside from that, the unit brought a lot out my speakers, and looks really nice. My cons are that the interface is isn't as snappy as I hoped, and when I plug my iPod in via USB I cannot change the song from my iPod I must change it from the stereo's slow reacting interface. All that said it is good for the price, and it's not bad looking either.

Mixed feelings , up to buyer to purchase

Installed in 2007 Hyundai Entourage with 13 speaker 660 wt system , makes the Infinity speakers sound better .

Ordered this last week and had it installed professionally today . Out of the box it will not play any dvd i own . These are retail , not burned . Not a huge deal breaker but disappointing since it was new . Anyway ...

Pro's : Sounds excellent ..Using with a pkg deal from Sonic ,2 kicker 12 dual 4 ohm s with box , wiring kit for amp and 850wt Precision Power amp , steering wheel controls , dash and wiring kit . Bass is heart stopping for my mini van .
Plays all my mp3 disks and usb drive mp3's .
Plays my divx files to a certain extent .
All phone music apps play fine .

Cons : takes a full minute to read usb stick at first and even longer for cds .
Will not play dvds .
Screen sometimes slow to respond or not at all or clicks on wrong file .
Freezes when a video file it doesnt like is clicked . even when its the same format as ones that do play .
Frequently beeps and says usb content not found or not compatible . you have to switch sources then back to usb to continue playing .


A few things related but not against Sony : mounting kit angles player inward at bottom making it difficult to insert usb . Had to remove cover plate for usb completely to use other brands of usb .
Wiring kit had to have extra wire for something to do with amp and factory stereo amp .
also Important : if you have stock dvd player like my over head this unit doesnt have a jack in back to use for audio , you have to use the one in front or wireless headsets . for now my kids can use subtitles lol .

im sure im just unlucky with the dvd player not working but i have 2 choice's , send unit back and wait for replacement , costing me time and money to uninstall OR buy new unit and wait till it arrives , then replace at my own cost and then return/wait for refund .Both require 2 install/un installs ... Both unappealing ..i will just put up with this for now .

Great Value

Good Value

Excellent value. Got the stereo in days. Everything came well packaged, stereo works & fits perfectly. No regrets.

great unit

very satisfied easy to use sounds great love the free dash kit and harnesses i got with the radio

good

This is my first time using an aftermarket head unit with my sound system. I usually just use a converter for RCA output. I haven't had much to compare to besides the converter set up and other peoples cars but overall Im satisfied. Huge difference in sound quality from converter set up (which was expected) and stands up to other head units I've come across. Plus the price was unbeatable!

Great price

Purchased this for my son for Christmas & he stated that it was fantastic!

Bomb!!!!

Verrrrry nice unit here! I am very pleased with what i got it is exactly as described on the site.

Exactly what i wanted

I bought this for a 05 impala Base. It went in pretty easy. All i really wanted was a touch screen that i could play my ipod through and this is this perfect fit. Its easy to navigate and sounds better then my stock head unit for sure. the only CON that i found so far is that there is 4 lame backgrounds and i dont think you can add some. But thats not really a big deal. Great product for the price for sure.
