I wish it was brighter. I can barely see it in the sunlight. I have a Pioneer DMH7600NEX and i can see it so good. Headunit manufactures need to up their screen brightness game.

[@LockdownSecurity]

Believe the anti glare coating on the screen makes this model (and the XAV-AX4000) slightly dimmer than most radios. Have you tried adjusting screen brightness or, disconnecting the illumination input to the radio

[@michaelhunter3128]

Can this be installed in a 2019 Nissan Frontier Pro4X with the Rockford Fosgate system. If so what else is needed so the camera and steering wheel controls work. Thanks

[@Savage_Queue]

I just want a radio that will make my wrx not sound like cardboard, isnt complicated, and has wireless android auto. Lol

[@LockdownSecurity]

Then the SONy XAV-AX6000 is for you, email [e-mail] to purchase it.

[@growingup4487]

that'll cost you 600+ apparently

[@LockdownSecurity]

@@growingup4487 $849.98 CAD is the current price, and it's on sale. lockdownsecuritycanada.ca/collections/all/products/sony-xav-ax6000-digital-media-receiver

[@GearheadOutlaw]

​@@growingup4487 if you want a budget friendly version get the XAV-AX5500. Few less futures like no wireless AA or HDMI etc but is good all around. Stay away from XAV-AX5000 and lesser models

[@franciscobrauliofuentesdia8859]

Nice video! Will my civic 2013 9th gen retain steering wheel controls if i replace my original radio with this or the ax4000???

[@LockdownSecurity]

Yes it will

[@AlexNuche]

I am trying hard to decide between the AX6000 and the Kenwood Excelion DMX 809s (currently no one has reviewed this model). Any help would be appreciated.

[@LockdownSecurity]

We have a video coming soon on the Kenwood Excelon yDMX908S, just waiting on delivery of the first units. But honestly, I think the Sony is a better radio in terms of simplicity, the Kenwood will have more features but most will not use those features.

[@danescottstephens]

Can you change the unit lighting colors? I have a Miata and all of the dash lighting is red. Thanks!

[@LockdownSecurity]

As far as we know, no, the illumination is a fixed colour (white back lighting)

[@codeman3639]

Your video was overall well presented. However I would have connected a phone to showcase the bluetooth screen and a camera too if you have one.

[@williamallison858]

can you control the AC from this screen. my truck uses the touch screen for AC controls I was wondering if that will still work with this.

[@American_Express_my_love_]

Im here for the same thing

[@LockdownSecurity]

Yes if you use an iDatalink Maestro module (ADS-MRR or ADS-MRR2)

[@banchans]

Heya, are you able to change that home screen analog clock to a digital -- either that or remove the analog clock altogether? Something about the clock hands don't suit the look in my vehicle. I would like to know if I can change it. Thanks!

[@LockdownSecurity]

I looked through the manual but did not see anything mentioned about it being changeable or being able to be turned off. It did mention multiple HOME screens though, so maybe changing that setting may help.

[@banchans]

@@LockdownSecurity That does help! Thank you - and I appreciate this video.

[@AlejandroSanchez-hs3fu]

Is that a microhdmi

[@LockdownSecurity]

Yes it is a micro HDMI input

[@JacobHolmes747]

I bought this radio and the iDatalink Maestro for my ‘17 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, when I put the car into reverse the backup camera pops up briefly and then shuts off. However I can go and open it manually and it will stay on. Any ideas? Additionally, when I do bring up the rear view camera, it shows the parking sensors only, until I hit the icon for camera. Is there any way to get a split screen view or an overlay or just simply default to rear view cam instead of sensors? Thanks!

[@LockdownSecurity]

Check your reverse trigger input on the radio, check to make sure it is reading 12 volts when the vehicle is in reverse, and that it's not dropping out once he vehicle is shifted into reverse. If you sourced this wire through the Maestro RR, change the source to the vehicle itself, rather than through the RR

[@Mike-cu6gk]

Thank you for the video. How big is it compared to an iPhone? Meaning the screen my iPhone is a 6.7 screen and this is a 6.9 screen

[@LockdownSecurity]

It is a larger screen than an iPhone, it is considered a 7" screen (7" diagonal measured)

[@Mike-cu6gk]

@@LockdownSecurity thank you for the reply

[@Mike-cu6gk]

@@LockdownSecurity my Tacoma has a 8” non-JBL screen and I really didn’t want to install a really tiny screen but I guess this won’t be that bad

[@dar-es-salaam]

Can It fit in a double-din setup, like in the toyota rav4 2010?

[@LockdownSecurity]

Yes it will fit perfectly in a double DIN setup

[@DeejayJimmy90]

Would this have an audible difference with any speakers vs the AX4000?

[@LockdownSecurity]

Similar audio between the two models.

[@tristan_talks_tech]

Great video! Do you know if you need to use the GPS antenna in order to use Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto? If so, is that something you need to mount on your dash, or can it just be placed behind the radio?

[@LockdownSecurity]

The GPS antenna is used for accuracy with GPS navigation, when using CarPlay or Android Auto. It is not required for Wireless use of either (CarPlay or Android Auto), *BUT* I assume that GPS navigation will be inaccurate when using either, if said antenna is not plugged in. As taken from the XAV-AX6000 manual: Note: Make sure the GPS antenna (aerial) is connected. For details, see “Installing the GPS antenna (aerial)” (page 12). Further in the manual, it does say this: When using Apple CarPlay with a wireless connection, make sure the GPS antenna (aerial)  is connected.

[@tristan_talks_tech]

@@LockdownSecurity Ok, thanks so much for the information! Would I need to find some way to route this up by my windshield or is it something that can be tucked away?

[@LockdownSecurity]

@@tristan_talks_tech You can hide the antenna under the dashboard, as long as it is NOT under metal of any type.

[@tristan_talks_tech]

@@LockdownSecurity Gotcha, thanks so much! I really appreciate it!

[@Savage_Queue]

@@LockdownSecurity would it not just use the gps from your phone? Essentially just mirroring whats on your phone? Pretty sure thats how my current Head unit works. As it doesnt have navigation capabilities but does have android auto.

[@corvettelifejones8625]

I just bought this from Crutchfield for $600 on sale. Regular price is $700 at Crutchfueld

[@LockdownSecurity]

That's fantastic.

[@chanjasonsk]

How does the reverse camera trigger the display to change input to the cam?

[@jh1328]

Looking at getting this to replace sync1 in my 2011 raptor - do you know if it will have a connection for my stock backup camera? Also, what would you use the HDMI input for?

[@LockdownSecurity]

Stock back up camera will require a harness OR an interface such as the iDatalink Maestro RR or RR2. HDMI input is used for phone mirroring, or for connection of a video source (such as a Chromecast or Apple TV)

[@hooliorayyes4233]

I wonder if the display is tiltable?

[@LockdownSecurity]

No the display on the XAV-AX6000 is NOT tiltable

[@manghanson3594]

Apple car play only works wirelessly on this

[@LockdownSecurity]

You are correct, thanks

[@Pallidus_Rider]

Idatalink allows for integration with radar detectors?

[@LockdownSecurity]

iDatalink Maestro provides radar detector integration, yes. They support specific models though.

[@djenglewood]

Is the face detachable?

[@LockdownSecurity]

No it is not detechable.

[@clayromero4733]

So this is sad, if you are an audiophile of any type, you will notice the mediocre sound quality of this Sony. I had got this to replace a JVC head unit that had a 24bit DAC, and the sound quality of the old JVC is 1000x better than this Sony crap sounds. This Sony sounds like the first gen iPod with Walmart headphones it's so bad. Even with speaker amplifiers there is no saving the garbage sound quality this Sony produces

[@LockdownSecurity]

Strange we have not seen this feedback before, the audio outputs of the SONY are supposed to be very high end and great sounding.

[@hartbreakidj]

what’s your rec for best sound quality

[@URKNIGHTMARE69]

hi, i have similar question as the individual with the 2011 raptor bout the factory backup camera,i have a 2020 ford ranger, will it work w this sony or a kenwood plug n play or maestro is required period decimal mark lol

[@LockdownSecurity]

Your 2020 Ford Ranger will REQUIRE the iDatalink Maestro ADS-MRR or ADS-MRR2. You will need the KIT-MFT1 as well. This will be the ONLY way to retain the factory back up camera.
