ES series

Takes like 2 seconds it’s fast

I have it. Assuming your installation goes well and you have placed the GPS antenna in an unobstructed place, it's very quick.

I have this unit, it constantly makes me pair via bluetooth before connecting to CarPlay wirelessly. I've unpaired and paired again, sometimes it connects quickly, sometimes I have to connect manually. Not perfect.

@@aphillips2582 Was there an update to fix that?

@@damon323 it seems to have gotten better. After a few attempts at pairing it’s now pretty consistent. Rarely I have to manually connect but not like it used to be.

How dark are your window tints?

😂😂

Don’t know if you’ve already found your answer but I recently installed the xav-ax6000 in my car and able to use my Roku while the car is in motion. After reading message boards and finding a lot of conflicting information, I broke down and bought a bypass product, less than $15, that took the guesswork out of it. It’s literally 3 wires and lights up when the car is powered on, if connected correctly.

@@JohnSon-ic8cqcan you share the link or the name?

You can on android

He said you can't remove it

There's only one input for cameras so if you have multiple cameras I would recommend something like the PAC VS41 Camera Switcher to connect to multiple cameras. In theory, yes the anytime cameras should both work with an adapter like the PAC. Otherwise, you will have to choose between one or the other since the Sony only has one camera input.

I think Apple's CarPlay is only available wirelessly, while Android Auto can be wired or wireless.

usually people run the wire to the bottom of the passenger side footwell/ to the storage in the center console. Depending on the model of your car, some small holes may need to be made, but for the most part you should find a non-invasive method.

You run it through the glove compartment

The backup camera quality drops when replacing the default camera imo.

@@woodsocialis this always the case?? Anything else that can be done? I'm looking at buying this unit.

@@DeejayJimmy90 Apparentky the latest firmware updates the camera quality. Didn’t really notice. Honestly it’s fine. 1/20 times I have to reset the unit by holding the home button for apple play to show up.

@@woodsocial thank you!

Micro HDMI

Yes it will automatically connect when the unit turns on

@@CarAudioNow No, it doesn't always connect, which is annoying.

I've had mine(AX6000) for a month now. It always links wirelessly to my android auto. I love it! And with the GPS antenna (included) it always keeps up, and I have the view set to satellite👍

Hello. These do not come with a backup camera but are compatible with most. I would recommend taking a look at our list of backup cameras. Depending on your preference and vehicle, you should be able to find one that fits: www.caraudionow.com/best-rear-view-camera/

The stock head unit on my 13 sonata w/nav is starting to go out and I'm looking into replacing it. Did you have any trouble replacing your stock head unit? Any special parts, trouble with a dash kit or wiring harness, etc? Crutchfield advises not changing it out without a Maestro and that the brackets might need to be custom?

@@Chaotik_Pranxter ur not from Sacramento ca are you if you were I would send you to who did mine it was trouble cause they don't necessarily make a bracket I used the one for a base model sonata that was double din they had to cut out wholes for ac a lil bit but it went in...I tried maestro some reason didn't work for my installer so he went other route I think pac. I got the Sony in steering wheels controls working with sony 5500 I had a 5 channel infinity amp put in there put kappa speakers the deck didn't go in greatest but I believe it's doable. You can try base model decks and go from there.

@@oslozoya1 shockingly I am local, grew up in Sac. Who did you go with? Even more coincidentally I'm going with Kappa also, when I replace all the speakers and sub and 2 external amps. I've been anticipating an easy time with everything but the head unit.

@@Chaotik_Pranxter 7361 Greenback Ln, Citrus Heights, CA 95621 Pacific audio. I got it done by Vahe he's an Armenian installer I believe. Pacific stereo kid said he could do it to. But I went with this guy he did mine.

@@oslozoya1 awesome, thank you!

Just charge the phone. CarPlay is ONLY available wirelessly

The addition to LDAC would probably have a considerable difference in sound quality. I cannot confirm, because I do not own either of the Sony head units. Just throwing in my two cents. I do, however, own a phone and headphones that support LDAC, and going from non-LDAC to LDAC is a quantifiable sound difference. Almost night and day in terms of sound stage clarity. I am in no way an audiophile who listens to extremely large size files of Hi-Fi music with thousands of dollars of sound equipment. I just listen with my phone and headphones. I would love to buy a 6000 but not for $750 plus shipping.

@@YovaniCarrillo what is ldac

@@oslozoya1 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rrOCopqXt7jXk3k.html

@@YovaniCarrillo vs bluetooth 5? Doubt you'd hear a difference with aac/sbc vs ldac's codec.

@@iggynub okay both of those codecs are proprietary to their own devices like ACC is with apple products and SBC is not actually supported by BT 5. The only codec to move all the large music files over BT 5 is LDAC. Also, it's proprietary software from Sony. So you would need a device that supports LDAC. I am still not sure by what you mean versus Bluetooth?

They're terrible in real life too, not just Sony but pretty much the majority of these receivers. Outdated technology for a niche customers base.

@@21leemo I meant for this KZfaq video

You want 4k in a 7” screen lmfao???? The PPI would be off the chart at 630ppi, which is higher than even Apple screens (iPhone14pro = 460ppi). Human eyes can only see up to about 338ppi People just throwing the term 4K around at this point🤦‍♂️ 4K just means total pixel count (3840x2160, 4K mean 4000 for the long side 3840 rounded up) What you actually want/asking for is higher PPI, not “4K”, and actual viewing quality is relative to screen size. For example, 4K on 21” screen have a “clearer” image per inch than a 32” and so on. So again, it’s pixel density that you want. You will absolutely not find a 4K 7” screen lmfao. It’s downright pointless with that much density.

@@lifeofkan no, for this video on youtube you recorded. It needs better lighting and 4k so we can see the products better. but thanks for the rant

@@harold6583 My bad, misinterpreted your comment and thought you meant 4K on the radio, since you did immediately talked about the “screens”🥴 And fair point about ranting. As a photographer, I just see people throw around “4K” with no understanding of what it actually is. Speaking of that, I’m not sure if 4K would’ve helped here either since the issue with recording the screens is partially due to refresh rates, shutter speed and frame rates.

No web link on these ones right now

Pioneer DMH-W2770NEX also have Wireless features for $430. Preamp Voltage is only 2 volts vs the Sony's 5 volts though. Also USB is 1.5A vs Sony's 3A and it's also USB-C. A $270 different.
