Sony XAV-AX3200 vs Alpine iLX-W670-S

The Alpine iLX-W670-S is the better pick for anyone who cares about sound: a 13-band parametric EQ, 6-channel time correction, 4-volt preamp outputs and a shallow chassis that fits more dashes. The Sony XAV-AX3200 is the simpler choice, with a slightly larger 6.95-inch anti-glare screen, an HDMI input and WebLink Cast app mirroring. Both run CarPlay and Android Auto, and owners of each rate the interface as quick and stable; the Alpine wins on tuning depth and install flexibility, the Sony on screen size and video inputs.

• Choose the Sony XAV-AX3200 if you want a bigger anti-glare screen, an HDMI input for a video source, and WebLink Cast mirroring, and you will not be tuning the system yourself.
• Choose the Alpine iLX-W670-S if you plan to add amps and a sub, want a 13-band EQ and time correction, or need a shallow chassis that fits a tight dash.
