    Huge upgrade to my 2015 Prius, but major challenge finding wiring adapter/harness
    Just got it installed in my 2015 Toyota Prius Three, and it's exceeding my expectations. The one major drawback was trying to figure out which harness/adapter solution would work with my car. I literally bought 3 separate things until I figured out which one would work - and I'm fairly technical. It's just that there are many variables, and lining them all up is tricky. I ended up buying the Pac RP4.2TY11, but even that didn't solve everything. Still need adapters to connect the roof radio antenna, and the backup camera. I might also need a USB adapter. And I still can't figure out how to wire the "speed" control.I'm using the XAV-AX100 with a Google Nexus 6p, running Android Auto. All of that works wonderfully - it's such a huge improvement from using my phone sitting in a holder on the dash. It's a much smoother, more integrated experience. I may update this review later, as this is only day 1.** 1 Month-ish Update **Backup camera adapter - check. Antenna adapter - check (FM-only tho... no AM. aw.) Also mounted a USB port to clean up the connection for Android Auto, but had to cut a custom hole into the same panel with the existing cigarette lighter. There is an existing rectangular hole, but couldn't find a USB port that would fit and met my expectations.So, I still really like it, but it's not without drawbacks. There is apparently a frequent issue where the backup camera turns on when it shouldn't. I've also had issues with the volume getting stuck, and a few other bugs/idiosyncrasies. My hunch is that the PAC-to-Sony interface is partly to blame for this, and I understand that may be tricky to work out technologically.On the upside, the sound of the thing is a distinct improvement from the factory unit, with the existing speakers. That was honestly furthest from my mind, so it was a delightful "Oh...wow" experience. I'm a musician, tho admittedly not a car audiophile, but this thing has worked some magic. I'd gotten used to muddy bass, strident highs, and overall a lackluster sound. Not sure how, but this unit makes everything sound, well, good - from audio books, to classical, to Deadmaus and electronica. The bass in particular is really tight and punchy, despite no subwoofer. I may actually get inspired to update the speakers. Sony has this DSO - Dynamic Soundstage Organizer - I know... gimmicky, right? Well, so be it. It's working for me, tho at the lowest of its 3 levels. I've also flipped on the bass booster thingy, at 1 of 2. I've also tweaked the heck out of the EQ - dropping the low-mids to mids, and then curving up from there.So, all in all still pleased, but admit it isn't a flawless experience. I'm a techie, so I can deal, but others may find the few flaky things a burden. For me, the pros outweigh the cons.** 1+ year update **Given the slew of negative reviews, I thought I'd update and say that it's still working for me about as described at one month. Sony came out with a firmware upgrade last fall - I did that (over USB) and it did fix some of the flakiness, but not all. I'm about to do a firmware upgrade on the PAC adapter, to see if that helps. I don't have high hopes. But despite all that, 90% of the time, this thing running Android Auto has still been worth it to me.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Android Auto headunit
    Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2017
    This is a nice middle ground for folks wanting to add Android Auto (or carplay I suppose) to their cars.

    It's not the cheapest option, but it's relatively inexpensive and one of the more modern Android Auto headunits, supporting future standards (like Wifi Android Auto, which is not yet supported by Google).

    I think it looks sharp, but its pretty unusual. The entire headunit sits recessed compared to others. This means that rounded bezel sits within the edges of the dashboard. It also means the round knob sits recessed instead of out in the open on all sides. I really would prefer if if that knob extended out, as it would be a lot easier to use. Regardless, the headunit looks good. Many headunits have what I call a 'tryhard' look, with a lot of sharp edges, shiny edges, glowing buttons changing colors or glowing red. This Sony just looks like it belongs in the car, with no added glitter or nonsense.

    The user interface is minimalist and awesome. Even just using bluetooth audio, the unit looks great. Switching into and out of Android Auto is seamless, with a similar font. I know that sounds minor, but it makes a difference. The same basic concept (icons on the bottom) in and out of Android Auto produces a pretty seamless experience.

    Sound quality is excellent, with a nice equalizer and other features that you can scroll up and read on the product description because I barely understand them. I do understand that my music sounds really good, and in phone calls, at highway speeds, folks tell me that I sound crystal clear. They complained about the phone calls in my Honda CR-Z's factory bluetooth system, but this Sony seems to be a lot better.

    As for Android Auto itself, I'm very pleased. I can just hold in the knob (or the button on my steering wheel that I've wired with a Maestro SW) and tell Google to navigate me wherever I want to go, whoever I want to call, whatever song I want to listen to. I can use Amazon Music and Waze (currently the beta version, but it works great) and get great traffic information for my perilous commute through Austin. Best of all, the experience really does keep my eyes on the road. On my first headunit, years ago, I had to trick the system into thinking my parking brake was engaged to get a usable experience. This one is so much better. Voice control isn't just a safety feature, it's far more convenient for a driver.

    For half a car payment on the car I was eyeing to replace my Honda, I was able to upgrade mine with a nice infotainment system.

    Oh, don't forget the AM/FM antenna adapter, wiring harness, and some sort of steering wheel button adapter. This is an easy DIY project if you get the right accessories.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sony Quality, Performance, and Style at a Great Price.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2018
    I installed this with the Scosche HY1625B dash kit in my 2012 Hyundai Sonata. With no modifications I would have had a similar situation as bemoaned in other reviews where the Sony unit was recessed back into the dash kit opening making it difficult to work the volume knob and bezel switches. I wound up making detailed measurements and determined I needed to remove 0.4" off of the back side of the plastic around the opening on the HY1625B where the Sony unit sits. I marked out the cut line on masking tape and carefully made the cut with a cutting wheel on a Dremel tool. This allowed me to use the stock radio mounting brackets and the radio sits in nicely now. I pulled the volume knob out slightly while still attached to make things perfect. Everything is easily accessible and it looks great.

    The Sony unit is all I hoped for. The sound quality is leagues ahead of the stock Hyundai unit. Volume is significantly greater also. Radio reception is also dramatically improved. I mainly bought this unit for the CarPlay feature. I've used this feature on some rental cars and loved it. The Sony delivers. At $349 (sale price around Christmas) this is a great bargain. I'm sure I'll enjoy it for many years to come. Be sure to buy the harnesses needed to plug into your stock radio cables.

    NOTE: This Sony unit has steering wheel control configuration built-in. In most installations all you will need is a simple 3.5mm male jack to tie into the appropriate wire from your stock radio interface. Check the websites from those who would sell you the steering control adapter (like pac-audio.com) for details on your model vehicle. I didn't need an adapter for my 2012 Hyundai Sonata.

    I was so happy to see that my head unit was shipped early but was so furious to see that I got a Atoto A6 (china knock-off?) instead of the Sony and there's no replacement option, just refund. I feel so let down and completely deceived. I have a strong feeling they didn't want to fulfill the low Black Friday pricing, so just sent some junk and make us refund instead. Anyone else get scammed with this Black Friday deal? Completely ridiculous
