Customer Ratings & Reviews

Worked Great

This matched fine with the Sony harness and plugged into my 2004 Dodge Ram and the stereo works great.

metra 70-6502

The part arrived ok but was not the correct application for my car.

2002 Ram

Had to get this harness sent since the first one I received didn't fit my truck. They sent it to me without any additional charge and I received it in a couple days

super deal

i needed to make a patch for a certain car thanks you made it happen.

Good quality

The aftermarket's only option. Also integrates with certain Ford vehicles equipped with premium audio options. No pre-wiring for factory cd changer and deletes amp turn on switch, if applicable.

great product

Product is very good

Matched perfectly

The harness is color correlated to the radio wiring harness. The wires are marked correctly and easy to follow the diagram for hook up. It was not listed what type of wire nuts were needed before I opened the harness, but it was easy to purchase the right ones at the local home depot. I would recommend checking to see if you have the wire nuts available before starting which will save time for install.

Nice product

The METRA trim Panel for my dodge is great. Nice snug fit and looks factory. It doesn’t look chintzy or cheap. Quality material. Two thumbs up!!

Adapter for Factory Wiring

This adapter came with the radio package I bought for my 03 Dodge Durango worked like it was supposed to. Fast shipping Sonic electronix as well first time purchasing from them and they also had cheaper prices from other Audio Retailers. You can also use Affirm for your purchase if approved and that played a factor in purchasing as well.

Awesome

I ordered this for my van because I was customizing it, and it worked perfectly. Would 10/10 recommend

wiring harness

Very easy to use and worked perfectly. Got exactly what I ordered the first time.

Good quality. Instructions would be nice.

The fit and finish of the plastic itself is great, but there are no instructions included. Installation is pretty simple, but an explanation of how they intend you to fasten everything would be easy to include and useful. Thankfully there are a lot of YouTube videos and forum posts since this is a pretty popular product.

Great unit

Both this unit for my 2015 Nissan Altima S. I was really apprehensive about spending so much on this unit, but it came with several features that I desired and overall I am very satisfied with the unit. It is worth every penny.

First, the unit came with physical buttons for reaching the home menu, adjusting the volume, and switching stations/songs. While I use the steering wheel controls while driving my vehicle, I tend to use interface buttons when parked or going through a drive-thru as they offer much greater response time than the steering wheel buttons.

Second, the unit came with Apple CarPlay which allowed for greater integration with my iPhone. It also supports Android as well. The unit also comes with a USB extension cord so don't go out and buy one like I did (although I prefer the one I bought as it looks more factory). This allows for easier integration with your phone of choice.

Originally, I purchased a different unit for my car and I later returned it because it did not allow me to play music and access other menus at the same time; ie, having a favorite song play while in the EQ menu to adjust sound quality. This Sony unit allows such capabilities.

The GUI is very clean and simple, very easy to use without even having to read the manual. I was able to find my way around the settings and adjust the settings accordingly with no problems whatsoever. The switch from the Sony GUI to the iOS is fluid, quick, and seamless.

On starting the car, it takes roughly 15 to 20 seconds for the unit to enter ready mode. For me, this is not an inconvenience as this is usually how long it takes me to get settled; seat belt on, phone connected, etc.

The touch screen is very responsive to the touch. I noticed that I need to be careful when selecting radio stations as keeping my finger on the station icon for a split second too long will cause it to unintentionally save said station as a 'favorite." I am not sure if this due to the programming delay or my carelessness. Otherwise, I have no problems with the display recognizing my finger tapping it.

There is an option for rear view camera and this can be disabled in the settings menu if you do not have a rearview camera. There is also options for connecting via bluetooth (which I have not tried) and regular USB (which I also have not tried). There is no CD slot, so this unit cannot play CDs. This doesn't bother me as all my music is on my phone. There are plenty of ports for subwoofers and additional components as well.

The only thing I don't like, and this is very minor dislike, is the "for your safety" message that appears each time the unit is started. It requires you to tap "ok" to clear. I haven't researched if this has been removed in a current firmware update or if there is a workaround.

Very easy installation. Locks as good as factory

Awesome radio that still include as volume knob!

Great radio that includes both CarPlay and Android Auto. If you are a family with split phone type, anyone can use this radio with ease (it just has to be a wired connection). The only downside is no DVD / CD slot, no AUX input, and only one Subwoofer Preout.

By Christopher on February 2, 2018 Verified purchase

Good product, except every time you turn on your vehicle the message display comes on, very annoying.

Great value for your money, downside that's not have a C D player, first display comes on every time you turn your vehicle on... very annoying.

Excellent Value

This Sony receiver is a great unit. It is very easy to maneuver around in. With the newly released Android Auto version, you can simply talk to it without having to even touch the screen icon or push the voice button. Using only voice command (hands free) you can achieve whatever your phone is capable of. The display is high quality. The backup camera is very good. Sound is great. I would definitely recommend this unit for what I believe is a fair price point given it's abilities.

It works

Very pleased, works well without a lot of bells and whistles.

I've had better

This is a great radio, although the clock does not keep time.

sony xav-ax100

least expesive way to put android auto in your vehicle. 10 band graphic equalizer sounds great - much better sound than the factory unit. hands free calls work and sound great. especially love the android auto!! there is nothing I don't like about this deck.

BMW E46 Owners - Rejoice!

The XAV-AX100 fits an E46 without cutting into the HVAC. I installed in my '04 325xi with no issues. High quality OEM look and feel (better than Kenwood/Pioneer etc.). Works with factory amp and Axxess unit allows use of all steering wheel controls. Bluetooth, CarPlay, hands-free calling all 5 stars. Volume knob a +. The only - is no HD radio. Radio sound quality is average at best and well below the HD Pioneer units I own. But this Sony fits so I'll live with it. If you only stream music/podcasts/apps you won't care much about the radio. Good value. Overall very happy.

awesome radio

the sony XAV-AX100 Is an awesome radio ! glad i purchased it i was looking at other brands for cheaper price then decided to buy this and im glad i did ! excellent sound and features . the only thing i think they should change is to add a second usb port for your usb drive for mp3's and media . kind of a drawback to unplug it to plug in your phone for android auto with that being said i can only give it 4 stars .other than that nothing bad to say ! i love it !

Simply Elegant Head Unit

In three words....it just works.
Simple, effective interface that doesn't "burp" on a large USB memory device. Android Auto works perfectly. Can't say about Apple since I don't have that.

My only nitpicks would be an option to remove the camera overlays altogether and the screen sensitivity to slide right to the settings is slow way too often. Perhaps a firmware update can fix these items.

Great budge Android Auto stereo

A great budget Android Auto stereo. I installed in a '02 Yukon, I didn't even have to cut the dash support since the back of the stereo is single DIN size. The only real downside is the annoying warning screen, the later can be removed thanks to an XDA developer.

Sony is a great value

quick action plus w/ a volume knob great features operates smoothly

Great Sound and Features!

Based on past experience I've been a little hesitant to add after-sale radios, etc. However, this product has changed that. The system was easy to install and the sound is awesome. The display (LCD) is bright and clear. The system works with Apple's CarPlay, which makes the product function just as easily as the system on my wife's car - which was factory installed at a much higher price than I paid for this system. In short, I love the system and the price can't be beat.

Worth every penny

Easy installation in my 07 Chevy Avalanche. Also installed Axxess ASWC1 for steering wheel controls. Unit performed as expected. I have an iphone 6 plus ios 9.3.5 Jailbroken and an HTC One A9 with 7.0. The with the jailbroken iphone NGX Play from cydia I downloaded several more apps whichmakes my experience great. Youtube, google maps, waze, movie box just to name a few. Android Auto is more user friendly with voice commands and google music, spotify, pandora....etc. A 3rd party app AnyAutoAudio allows several more apps to play music but no video capabilities as of yet.
