First off I understand I may have a defective unit but Newegg left me out to dry and I didn't care enough to get in contact with Sony so full disclosure there.
Feature wise its very limited; no iPod support (I realize they're old now but I still have one that I'd like to use).
Bluetooth sound quality is TERRIBLE. When I'm streaming music from my phone via bluetooth it sounds like an old anolog radio which is loosing reception, its just plain awful (Connected via USB sounds fine though).
Almost never recognizes my iPhone being plugged in the first time, usually takes 2-4 tries before it switches over to CarPlay.
Screen freezes up 2-3 times a week and time is the only thing that seems to fix this issue, turning it off then back on does nothing.
A month of so ago the HU kept attempting to play music from my phone and the radio at the same time, this lasted about 2 days before going away and hasn't returned
Not sure if this is Sonys fault or a law they have to follow but the start up screen which states something about always paying attention to the road will never go away unless you press "Okay". I wish it had a time limit or something, just a small annoyance.
I've checked the wiring multiple times now, everything is in order. I even completely replaced the Metra wiring harness (I think thats the brand) to no avail.
I have not tried using a USB flash drive to play music or movies yet so no comments on that.
Really the only thing I do like about this HU is that is matte black and better matches the stock HU.
