Great run down. The CarPlay lag is only on that menu but doesn’t seem to affect apps once opened - so for the majority of use cases you won’t notice as you would have your apps on the first page of the screen- otherwise I agree with this overview
I’m low key disappointed in the lag in the CarPlay menu. Thank you for taking your time and making this review it was helpful in my head unit decision making.
I just installed this unit in my car. Super fast load up time and I don’t find the screen to be laggy. It’s obviously not going to have the response time of an iPhone
Do you know if these units get updates? Whether it’s CarPlay update or firmware update for the unit itself? Wondering if that speeds it up a bit, I wouldn’t mind a unit that isn’t super fluid in response, as long as it works great on CarPlay.
@@PaoloMix09 mine works really great no lag at all, made my alpine sound system’s true potential really shine, I did pay a professional to install it tho
Some Videos are not playing in the RUclips application in Sony Xav ax5500. It's shows like Video is not available to play. But I can play in mobile/laptops. Could you pls explain why?
Great video. Just installed mine today. I’m unable to access USB1 like you did to adjust settings. It keep saying do not recognize device or no device connected. Thanks for you help.
Pretty much the same except they added the hdmi, which is pretty cool, can connect anything to it and use it as a mirror display or separate display. I got it too today so I will release a review this coming weekend.
You most likely already found your answer but I've been looking for a unit and I highly recommend crutchfield you can set the filters and it'll recommend what will fit in your car
Might be a compatibility issue with your smartphone, you can check the list of approved Android Auto devices. Also for the usb flash drive make sure it’s in fat32 format.
@@iSimplifiedTech thanks. I'm installing it in a 4th Gen camaro I think I've read I need use an aftermarket interface to hook it with this unit. On the other hand the unit is nice for its price.
When I plug my thumb drive into the 2nd usb I get a message that says device is not supported. Any ideas? It works in the 1st usb but that’s where I plug my phone into.
I have highend morel speakers and subwoofer for sound quality.. Presently I have pioneer singledin hu.. Want to upgrade sound quality hu touch screen .pls suggest kenwood. Pioneer Sony
Kenwood and Pioneer are very similar in terms of audio quality. If you like a clean user interface fully customizable go for Pioneer, if you like High Definition displays go for Kenwood.
Great question, from all the receivers I've tested so far, except the SONY, Pioneer AVH-W4500NEX has the fastest boot time and responsiveness of the CarPlay interface I would rate it 4 out of 5, Alpine iLX-W650 has the best responsiveness on the CarPlay interface (5 out of 5). This SONY unit has the fastest boot time of all the units on the market but sucks on the responsiveness.
@@iSimplifiedTech ok..is this unit the best in its price range or is there any other unit which isbetter? I only know Sony because of its simplicity and sound quality.
If I had to pick a SONY unit I would pick this one, if I had to pick a different brand I would go with KENWOOD DMX9707S, of course not as simple and clean user interface like SONY but more features. In the end it actually depends what your preferences are, there is no perfect unit out there yet, every each of them have ups and downs. If you looking for simple and clean and don’t really care about Wireless Connectivity stick with SONY, no one can beat their user interface simplicity.
First make sure your Sony model is the AX5500 and not AX5000 . Also you need to get the Sony Weblink app from the App Store or Play Store depending on your device and then follow the instructions on the screen.

Is the CarPlay wireless?
@@_____hakno it is not
Is there any way to disable that safety notification when you first turn it on? Gets annoying every time
Just purchased this unit 10 minutes ago from crutchfield
This unit gives me classic android kit kat vibes and I love it
Wish this had a review of the android auto
I agree unfortunately I don’t have the funds at the moment to have an android phone laying around just for the reviews.
I cant wait to have it installed!
Don't do it ... You'll regret like me within few days itself
I’ve had this model for a year and don’t regret it at all 😊
I have a question. Does this unit support aux input? If not, Can it play audio through the usb via an aux to usb dongle?
Some Videos are not playing in the RUclips application in Sony Xav ax5500. It's shows like Video is not available to play. But I can play in mobile/laptops. Could you pls explain why?
Try playing from the blue USB and make sure the video format is compatible
Man those dual USB ports are short
Dual USB inputs! That means you don't have to detach your USB thumb drive to connect CarPlay/ Android Auto. Most companies only have one input.
That’s right.
Why doesn't it see all the mp3s on the USB?
That's What We Have In Our Vehicle! 👍
Does the screen automatically show camera footage when you put car in reverse gear?
@@pixeledcode No
@@clintjacops958 really then it is a serious issue isn't it?
Hi, can we connect Iphone 11 without using usb cable, if pls explain
How about Sony radio signal reception or Radio sound quality.... Is it better compare Pioneer?
Well that depends on your car because that hooks up to your car antenna. I would say they will be the same.
Can you turn the screen off but still have the music play?
What is the max volume
Great video. Just installed mine today. I’m unable to access USB1 like you did to adjust settings. It keep saying do not recognize device or no device connected. Thanks for you help.
Yes I'm seeing same problem with my usb too idk what should I do. Did it work with yours now?
@@___vinithkumar___hey did you ever figure out this problem? thanks!
Is there 2x USB extension cords included?
No just one
Hi Sir
My Sony 5000 when reverse camera show as no video signal
But before it was working fine
What would be issues please help me
I would check the camera connections, if it gets 12v when in reverse, if it gets then might be a problem with the receiver.
did I see this correct? you can not jump to different positions in a song?
need a video for the 5600 now
As soon as it comes out in stock will do!
@@iSimplifiedTech just wondering how much of a difference there will be. getting one installed in my truck in a couple weeks.

Does this work with any car ? How do I know if it will fit in the spot in my car ?

Hi
Is this will fit for 2019 tyota Camry?
I can't connect with Red mi note 8 Pro and also with pendrive 16GB I can't connect with both of them? please help me.

How do you do when one of those usb ports get damaged? how do you replace them? the male connector seems to be inside the unit..
Depending on what kind of damage, if it’s at the port then maybe cut out the damaged port and replace with a generic one by splicing the wires.
Thanks man
How do you add a app ?.
No wireless Android auto?
It features the Wireless Android Auto as well but I didn’t demonstrated in the video.
Do you have a part number for the steering wheel control wire/jack? Mine didn't come with one
Unfortunately the part number for that adapter is not labeled anywhere. I would contact SONY and request that adapter.

How to connect the apple play in this system please reply sir
It should connect automatically as soon as you plug the iPhone
When I plug my thumb drive into the 2nd usb I get a message that says device is not supported. Any ideas? It works in the 1st usb but that’s where I plug my phone into.
USB port 2 is intended for audio playback only.
Do you know if it's possible to re-arrange the icons at 1:11? For instance, if I wanted to move the sirius icon to the second page?
Unfortunately it’s not possible.

Does it feature GPS navigation?
It doesn’t.
What about steering wheel controls?
Does this unit record video like a dash cam would?
Unfortunately not.
Can u put a video about sony xav ax3500 weblink
Unfortunately this receiver is not available in United States.
I wanted to know if the Android auto was wireless because to me there's no point of spending $500 on Old Tech.

how to connect reverse camera
This is for wich car model ?
I installed my unit last month, It gets super hot after an hour of use. Have you had any problems with this ?
Should be normal.
Is there a wireless adapter for this unit to use CarPlay?
Unfortunately that is not possible with SONY units since their software is not open source.
What iPhone are you using in this test?
iPhone SE (2nd gen)
3:40 will the steering control custom work with a Volkswagen?
additional interface is required and it will work
is there an newer version of this coming out in 2021?
For now we only know about XAV-AX150
Yes now its the xav ax5600
I have Sony xav 3500 brand new
Market price 22990

wheres the usb?
The both USB ports are on the end of hanging wires on the back, cannot see them in the video btw.
@@iSimplifiedTech to connect an iPhone to?
You can connect any mobile device to it from a flash drive to a smartphone.

The orange and black UI is such a turn off. No capacitive screen and an outright 80's throwback. Bring back the UI used in the XAV-712BT
How do i get all this
What do you mean exactly?
It is unclear how to get the upgrade .
The screen mirring
Weblink does not work
First make sure your Sony model is the AX5500 and not AX5000 . Also you need to get the Sony Weblink app from the App Store or Play Store depending on your device and then follow the instructions on the screen.
I just cancelled my order; looks like Junk to me; I`ll better order something else. Thank you!
Thank you for watching, glad it helped.
