Sony XAV-AX4000 7-Inch Multimedia Receiver with Wireless Car Play/Android Auto and Maestro Ready (XAVAX4000)

Love the unit. Had it professionally installed and it works fantastic. Syncs to my phone seamlessly and the sound quality is very good. The touch screen is responsive and easy to navigate and the unit has most features needed to enjoy music and listen/take phone calls. You can even upload photos to the unit. I haven’t tried that one yet, but it is a very good unit and looks amazing in my 2011 Jeep JK.

I recently upgraded the stereo in my truck from the Jensen CAR710W to this Sony XAV-AX4000. The Jensen unit was pretty solid for about a year and a half, but after a firmware update wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay failed to connect at least 50% of the time. I was looking for something with a better screen, faster boot time, idata link maestro compatibility, and wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay. This stereo checks all of those boxes. The stereo packs quite a bit of really nice features if you use an idatalink maestro and makes my 2013 Tacoma feel like a 2022. Anyone that has used Android Auto or Apple Carplay know that especially for short trips plugging in your phone every time you get in your vehicle becomes a major pain. I'm happy to say that the wireless connection for both Carplay and Android Auto is rock solid. I have not had a single disconnect in the week I've had the stereo installed. The amount of time it takes to boot up and connect my phone wirelessly (via Android Auto or Carplay) is a total of 10 seconds. I have tested and used quite a bit of rental vehicles and my own vehicles with wireless and wired Android Auto and Apple Carplay and I have yet to come across a stereo that connects this fast other than the Sony XAV-AX9500es (which is much more expensive than this unit). I did see some groans about the anti-glare film on the screen, but for me personally it is a non-issue. It makes the screen very easy to see in direct sunlight. It's much easier to see in sunlight than my Jensen CAR710W was and the countless OEM stereos I have used in rental vehicles over the last 3-4 years. Bottom line, if you're looking for a stereo that is feature rich, fast booting, has wireless Android Auto/Apple Carplay, great sound, plenty of EQ options, and will stand the test of time go with this head unit. I'll update this review in the future if I have any issues with the stereo.

Great stereo, don't get discouraged by the resistive screen, it's as responsive as a capacitive one. If I didn't know I wouldn't be able to tell. The only big downside with this Sony is that the screen is too dim in broad daylight. It's really hard to see. The pre-amp voltage is low too at just 2V. The rest is great. Lots of functions like crossover, EQ with many bands, wireless CarPlay and AA and the biggest pro in my book: physical buttons.

I installed the Sony XAV-AX4000 in my 2009 Jeep Wrangler, and the fit was perfect once I added the installation kit. The installation itself was straightforward and immediately brought modern tech like wireless CarPlay and Android Auto to the vehicle. I also added a backup camera, and it works smoothly with the unit. The only downside for me is the interface, which feels functional but not very polished. Overall, I really like the radio and how much it improves the driving experience. What I cared about when purchasing • Needed to fit cleanly in a 2009 Jeep Wrangler (with install kit) • Easy installation • Support for adding a backup camera • Brings modern CarPlay/Android Auto features to an older vehicle

Great sound quality radio but the apple carplay freezes on maps every so often.. Update: radio will freeze and I’m unable to click anything. Also whenever I disconnect Bluetooth on my phone it still stays connected to the radio somehow.. 3 Month update: Screen is now completely blue. There is no display. Thanks Sony for the worst radio I’ve ever had.

Very good price and quality. Hired someone to do the install. Sound quality is better than OEM. Assimilated easily with my system.

This is an awesome radio. Replaced a factory G35 radio. Works great with Android Auto, navigation is top notch. The only thing that I would like is a radio interface for the navigation screen. Like preset number, station frequency or RDS on the bottom of the map.

Connects very reliably, no matter who gets in the car and drives. Touch works great. Would definitely get another unit.

Works very well. Love having android auto on my car now!

Nos gusta que tenga apple car play inalámbrico le conectamos cámara de reversa (no la incluye)

That is why it is on sale, no Maestro compatibility on this. Anyway, my car do not have steering inputs so ni issues with me. But its a Sony and works well. Sound is way better than stock radio.

Excelente componente. Tarde en tomar la decisión ya que buscaba realmente un equipo que tuviera Car Play inalámbrico. Muy responsivo respecto de la navegación. El tiempo de arranque es prácticamente inmediato incluyendo la respuesta a la reversa. Pero me sorprende el buen sonido y la calidad del display al touch. Gratamente sorprendido. Sobretodo con el respaldo y garantía de Sony México. Siempre considero esta opción además de la garantía extendida que ofrece Amazon.

Es lo que requería, todo bien
