The Sony XAV-AX8100 is a multimedia receiver with an 8.95-inch floating touchscreen. It uses a short-depth single-DIN chassis. The screen mounts in front of the dash, and its tilt, height and depth are adjustable. This gives a tablet-style display without custom fabrication.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect by USB for navigation, messages, music, calls and voice control. Bluetooth supports hands-free calling and audio streaming. An HDMI input accepts external video sources and smart devices, and a rear camera input supports a backup camera (camera sold separately).
For sound, it has a 10-band EQ with Sony DSP audio tuning and high-voltage pre-outs for amplifiers. The unit starts up almost instantly. Vehicle-specific installation parts are sold separately unless stated as included.
