Its double-din AV centre connects with your iOS or Android smartphone for voice control as you drive.

A little about Apple CarPlay and Android Auto:

Apple CarPlay

For iOS users, just plug your phone via cable and seamlessly stream the tunes you love and podcasts you listen to on the daily. You can take calls, send text messages, and navigate by just tapping the icons on the screen for Siri. Using a compatible iPhone, you will also be able to use your voice to control Siri Eyes Free through the receiver. Imagine the convenience and safety of that!

Android Auto

For all the Android-loving users, you will undoubtedly love the SONY XAV-AX100, too! Download the app and sync your phone with the car and that’s it. Through the use of Android’s voice commands, you will be able to control it with messaging, answering calls, using Google Maps for directions, and controlling music playback.

The sound and the visual

The rich and full sound of the SONY XAV-AX100 will make the factory speakers of your vehicle sound a whole lot better—you’ll be surprised with the performance of Sony’s Mega Bass. The 10-band equalizer can be adjusted to optimize the acoustics in your vehicle and access the preset tone curves to achieve the sound of your liking. Additionally, you can also improve the soundstage by creating ‘virtual speakers’ on your dashboard using the Dynamic Stage Organizer.

If your vehicle has audio control on your steering wheel, you no longer need to buy specialized modules to retain full control when changing your head unit. The XAV-AX100 has steering wheel controls built in, saving you in some cases a lot of money. You would only have to connect a few wires and program the adapter to your particular vehicle; this is a massive feature at the price point.

You can also play various audio formats with this multimedia receiver. It supports MP3, WMA, and FLAC playback via USB. If you’re on a road trip and you’re aching for a stopover, you can also play movies via USB.
