Sony XAV-AX1000 Media Receiver (6.2 Inch, with Bluetooth and Apple CarPlay) - Black

Product Information

If you have a rear camera installed, view its feed through the screen with customisable guidelines to assist in safe reversing. Not only does it offer a beautiful and cutting-edge touchscreen with all the “creature features” you’d expect from top-tier technology, but it does so at a very affordable price tag. Only a few small bells and whistles are missing from the Sony XAV AX1000 that you find on much higher end (and much more expensive) units, and all in all the Sony XAV AX1000 doesn’t cut corners to cut costs. J'ai installé (très facilement) cet autoradio qui a une puissance nominale et une qualité sonore très satisfaisante,même sans ampli et avec mes enceintes d'origine.

Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles. Multiple customisation options allow you to tailor the audio experience to your preferences. Plus, with the built-in 4 x 55W amplification, music remains clear even at higher volumes.

Sony has been making very impressive digital media receiver solutions for a while now, upgrading the sound quality and entertainment capabilities of vehicles with aftermarket components, but the XAV AX1000 is a unique piece of technology in a couple of different ways. Bluetooth wireless connectivity also opens up the opportunity to control and command your device through the Sony platform. Unfortunately, as of right now there’s no way to utilize Carplay or Android Auto over the Bluetooth wireless protocol. Je l'ai pris pour son prix vraiment bas, même si en terme de fonctions j'aurais préféré avoir le XAV AX100 (voir 200). Au final Android Auto me manque quand même pas mal, mais tant pis j'ai resorti mon vieil iPhone pour l'occasion.

Preparation

Just like pretty much every other modern digital media receiver worth purchasing these days the Sony XAV AX1000 includes support for both Apple Carplay and Android Auto. Had to get a replacement for my Double DIN Pioneer head unit in the motorhome, which had failed after about 7 years and had cost a fortune when installed and as I was in rush to get a new unit fitted before a trip. I ended up getting this ‘lower end’ Sony unit as it was the only one available. I’m so glad I did, as I discovered the hidden benefits of still having a physical HOME button and also volume control, so no need to tap screens etc for volume and screen changes - excellent when on the move!

The ergonomic rotary dial ensures distraction-free operation. Use it to adjust volume or push the integrated button to access sound control menus. Alternatively, hold the button to use voice commands. On the Home screen, select Settings. If you cannot find the Settings icon, swipe from the bottom of the Home screen, then from right to left.Néanmoins, la qualité de réception radio est assez passable, rendant le RDS souvent inopérant. Obligé de faire des recherches manuelles en conduisant pour retrouver la fréquence désirée. J'avais un vieux Pioneer de plus de 10 ans qui avait une bien meilleure réception (et je précise qu'il ne s'agit pas d'un problème d'antenne du véhicule, car j'ai testé avec ce même vieux poste, et ça marchait parfaitement). Le nom des émissions/chansons/programmes ne s'affichent pas non plus lors de l'écoute de la radio. Copy all 3 files to the root directory of the USB storage device that is connected to your computer. The unit is configured in a Double DIN dashboard mounting system. The hardware is high-quality and makes for a simple and straightforward “drop right in” kind of installation”. This is only helped along by the wiring harness and prewiring solutions that have been tightly integrated into the XAV AX 1000 as well. If you're looking for radio stations that won't disappear when you head into the hills, add a SiriusXM tuner and enjoy satellite radio's rich selection of programs wherever you go. A highly sensitive AM/FM tuner will catch all your local stations. This Sony also offers easy touchscreen control of media from external sources via USB or aux input. Experience Sony quality

Control music, maps, phone calls, and messages effortlessly. With activation two and a half times faster than previous models, you're ready to go right after turning on the ignition. Touchscreen control is a wonderful thing, especially on this big 6.2" screen, but if you're a little old school (like me), you appreciate a volume knob. Sony assigns double duty to their knob, letting you access the receiver's extensive sound control menus with just a push of the dial. You'll hold that same button to use voice commands for your smartphone. Room to expandunclear. Dynamic Stage Organizer (DSO) adjusts the width and height of the soundstage, improving the stereo Experience intuitive and straightforward control for every journey with a responsive 15.7 cm diagonal (6.2-inch) touchscreen display.

Une sortie vidéo aurait également été la bienvenue pour sortir un signal sur des écrans appuis-têtes par exemples. Of course, the inclusion of physical controls help to take the Sony XAV AX 1000 to the next level. Sony has always made very ergonomically designed physical controls for all of their electronics and the XAV AX1000 is no exception.
