- Uncovered a brand new Sony XAV-AX5600 in the garage while cleaning up and decided to make a quick DIY install video for you all out there. On a added note the previous pioneer in the car is WAY out of date, so this brings the car more into 2022 with it's features.

What’s the link for it
Hi . Here’s more info on the head unit
electronics.sony.com/audio/car-marine-audio/receiver-players/p/xavax5600
I believe they’re available at your local Best Buy or Sony car audio dealer 😀👍🏻
CDs are still my favorite way to listen to music, I was going to get a Bluetooth with CD but the deal I found on the Dual brand with no CD slot was too good to pass up
Same. I love the cd sound over an app stream anyday
What do you need the microphone for?
Hi for the Bluetooth/ hands free voice controls / phone calls
Nice ... I have an 05 and did the same. Just one question ... What's that on your dash? Right above the steering wheel ... it looks like a phone mount with round gauges ... ?
Nice! Yea you are correct. Water temp gauge, volt gauge, along with a a cell mount. The gauges came with the car cell mount I did as that’s the only place my heavy phone can sit without falling over
What are the yellow and black wire sticking out the steering wheel? What brand of steering wheel
Hi the wiring was for the horn button. The steering wheel was a temp one until I got my nardi wheel back and that’s back in the car now 😀
I'm doing this on my 04 right now but I have a problem that all the wires don't appear to be the same colors as the radio I bought. Any suggestions on how to figure it out?
Did you get an adapter harness for the install?
@@M2Motoring nope but I looked into it yesterday and placed an order!
Awesome! That should get you sorted out
What size is your stereo? I found two that were 6.95 inches and a 7 inch thank you!
Hi! It’s this unit electronics.sony.com/audio/car-marine-audio/receiver-players/p/xavax5600
Did you ever have to attach it to your brake wires or does it work without
I have not done that but I don’t generally run any video media in my car.
Quick questions...what size are your wheels, Tires and has the box been lowered??
Hi it’s lowered 1” , has 16” wheels and tires are 195/45r16
@@M2MotoringThank you!😁
You’re welcome!
Did u ground this unit to metal? Or jus to the black wire? I have the same unit
Hi it’s grounded to metal. I always make an independent ground on aftermarket head units. Force of habit 😅
@@M2Motoring I did to. But I’m gettin noise. So I think it’s maybe my rcas. It isn’t the radio I know. It’s a nice unit. Must be rcas
Ah ok where are your rcas ran and where is your power ran if you’re using an amp
@@M2Motoring I have a amp for bass and one for mids. Power wire is on drivers side ran through. And rcas r ran thru passenger side. But I ordered 2 pairs of triple shielded thick rcas. One for bass and one for mids amp. I think my mids amp rcas r the problem. Guess we’ll see
I hope that fixes it. Also make sure there’s ample ground with the amps
Nice upgrade!!!
Indeed it is! Brought me up to date tech wise to 2022. I’m still sad I can’t play cds anymore
To anyone here.... looking for a low(er) cost basic radio/GPS unit....with emphasis on the GPS being decent. Don't need Bluetooth or backup camera or any higher-end stuff.... all for a double-DIN 7" unit that fits gen1 Scion xA/XB.... thanks for any recommendations....
Hi Sony does have affordable options that are 7” screens. As for Bluetooth/ gps it’s all sort of one nowadays as you would use Apple car play / android auto to interface and use that for gps.
@@M2Motoring...so...for a newbie like me to understand, are you saying there is no "built-in" GPS on these units?......that instead they use the GPS of your (nearby) phone and simply display the "view" (and maybe some of the controls)...on their screen. Is that it?
Yes. Built in gps is becoming a thing of the past. With older built in gps , you’d have to update your software every so often as roads are being built etc. With your phone connecting to the stereo, there’s no need for updates for that. Only updates you would have to do is the software for the stereo itself to help interface with new phone firmware updates better.
@@M2Motoring ...thanks !!
You’re welcome 🤙
Did you have to use a dash kit?
Yes I did use a dash kit. Car had one with the previous head unit that came with the car . I just reused everything
