I recently purchased this headunit. The screen and unit itself is very responsive, which is great. The things I don't like about it are 1) There's no way to use the progress bar to skip through tracks when playing via USB. So if I'm listening to a 45 minute mix for example, I can't slide the progress bar to reach a certain point which is annoying. 2) There's no album art via Bluetooth or USB 3) You can't press and hold things on the home screen to put them in your preferred order. As you say, it's basic and works well. I just wish Sony added to above improvements.

Does it have WIRED or WIRELESS carplay and android auto? Idiots at SONY didn't think it's important enough to mention in specs.

It's unbelievable how we get to the point that every other video review of a double din car audio equipment, points out all the cables and devices connections (which I agree that is important), BUT.... never say a single word about the audio quality of said equipment. Unbelievable! How one can know which brand (and model) to buy if it's impossible to find reviews that tell us how the sound is? It's puzzling to see this trend.

You mention that the yellow port on the back is for reverse camera to plug in but there is also a wire on the harness with a label saying reverse camera, a bit confusing, which would you use?
@spsanders692 жыл бұрын
The yellow plug is for the Video, the other wire is what is used to get power to the camera. The camera I am ordering with my unit (Think I am going with this Sony, XAV-AC5600 (guess the 50 is for other countries?). It has a wire along with the video plug on each end. So you can get the power to it from the head unit.

It is a shame that Sony does't have an Android unit, to use Waze (for example) directly without connect the phone each time (that will be broken the charge port in the time). I had some android units but they are slow and sooooo lag.

Sony has their AX6000 coming out with wireless car play. You can't expect to get wireless AA or CP in a 500 unit. Unless you want to go the route of the low-end BOSS stuff.

Interesting. I was wondering about the 5550 and 5650 nomenclature used on these. I guess they are for other country releases? Where do you live? Getting ready to order the 5600 myself, I think. Still debating.
