Bluetooth calling Does NOT WORK with the iPhone with the AX5000. ..... There is a serious flaw in the software even with the latest firmware v1.01. It transfers your phonebook to the radio and displays it just fine. But when you hit the CALL button to place a call, it truncates the number after the first space in the number (leaving only the area code). It CAN NOT DIAL a number. Unfortunately, neither Apple nor the radio allow you to format your phone number to remove spaces, so there is no work around or solution. There is another customer in the SONY forum complaining of the same problem, so it is NOT a single unit hardware defector malfunction, it is a serious software design issue.
I picked my ax5000 up this weekend for $350. However, I got lucky the shop told me the sale just ended but he would honor the price because he had quoted me $350 when we were looking at them.
i just hope they fixed the Android Auto problems that most AA users encounter. For those who don't know, AA doesn't work well on the 5000. Frequent disconnects. huge issue. it seems hardware based. Some have had luck by using very short usb cables. i.e 4 inch cables. Kind of limits options. Not good for such an, otherwise, excellent unit. I heard that the 7000 is expected to go on sale in December.
Anyone else having constant crashing issues with Android Auto and the AX5000? Cuz I and several others am! Customer service just offers a warranty replacement even though it is obviously a software issue. Now I'm forced to swap my AX100 back instead of upgrading to the 5000.
"subwoofer mode easy connection" - Is that just something in software that would require changing up the wiring harness adapter to have the rear L&R go to the sub and take the front L&R and split the two wires front wires to connect to all 4 front wires in the adapter? Does standard car stereo wiring even provide enough power to fully utilize this? (given you'd be using an 8-10 gauge wire directly from the battery to a similar small stand alone amp).
Is the 5000 unit good for a stock 8 speaker setup. 2011 Scion TC. The front door has 6.5 woofer 4 in mid and a 1 in tweeter. And I guess a 6.5 in the back. I want a better sounding unit with Android auto without adding an amp.
Would love to be able to buy Sony, but the no zoom screen vs captive pioneer, and Bluetooth phonebook hell alone make it non viable. The sound quality of pioneer sph DA230db over focal amp and speakers is phenomenal...I wonder which has best screen, the pioneer is full HD come on Sony
Yup! These are the parts you'll need: Double DIN Dash Kit: www.qualitymobilevideo.com/99-6510.html Replacement Interface www.qualitymobilevideo.com/chto-01.html Antenna Adapter www.qualitymobilevideo.com/40-cr10.html
@@Qualitymobilevideo I just got it professionally installed a couple days ago and posted a review on my channel, my android auto actually seems to work wirelessly, thanks!
Unfortunately, these stereos have no AV Inputs. However, it's possible to mirror your phone via the backup camera input and use bluetooth for audio. Here's how: th-cam.com/video/fYxlLxaYnKc/w-d-xo.html
@@bertorodriguez690 No. DSO is different. Its to simulate sound as if it comes from dashboard. This is very useful if one has coaxial speaker as this will elevate soundstage. But if you want to time align woofer, tweeter or front, rear speaker then this wont help
That's pretty broad, I need to know things like your budget, single din or double din, make mode and year of your car, do you want apple carplay or android auto, touchscreen, USB, bluetooth, etc.
Preordered the 7000. Going to be a huge upgrade compared to the stock head unit on my bike, and a game changer for touring motorcycles..
XAV-AX8000 video coming this week

The AX7000 still doesnt display album art but with the 1.10 firmware update it now allows user pics to be installed via USB as wallpaper.
Thanks for the info!
You get album art with CarPlay right??
Not on the home screen of the XAV models
When will the Sony ax7000 be available for purchase?
Following
Available now
Did Sony mention anything about price cuts for the 5000? 🤔 Because I am hope it drops to$350 🤞. When it does I will definitely pick one up.
Not sure :(
I got one a week before Christmas at frys for 250
I picked my ax5000 up this weekend for $350. However, I got lucky the shop told me the sale just ended but he would honor the price because he had quoted me $350 when we were looking at them.
$348 on Crutchfield now.
How is the Sony XAVAX 5000 different than the Sony XAVAX 5500?

Would you recommend the 7000 over the 5500
I thought only 2 speakers and a sub or 4 speakers were supported. How did they do a 2.2 system?

How come my 5000 unit needs to be dimmed manually at night, even when I have set to Auto? Thx
When installed correctly, it dims automatically in response to turning on your headlights.

I have the 5000 currently and would like to know if the 7000 supports idatalink Maestro.
Would like to know this as well!
Only Sony's XAV-AX210 is compatible with iData Link! www.qualitymobilevideo.com/xav-ax200-30340.html

#QualityMobileVideo I have an Xav ax 5000,can I add 4 polk db651 speakers? Will they harm my head unit, please advice..
Can you lode Pictures or back grounds form a android pnone to the ax7000? Or just a flash drive.
Custom wallpaper? Or like the 5000 it's all stock
Great video man! Are you gonna cover the ax1000?
Thanks! Eventually!
Apparently you cannot change the wallpaper on these stereos which is a big letdown...
:(
Where can that dual 10” subwoofer box be found?
That was custom built!
Will any of the channels be bridgable?
what is best way to waterproof the 5000
Will extra power make any difference if you only plan use stock speakers/sub?
Yes and no. It'll be louder obviously, but still, stock speakers have a low ceiling in terms of performance
Would love to be able to buy Sony, but the no zoom screen vs captive pioneer, and Bluetooth phonebook hell alone make it non viable. The sound quality of pioneer sph DA230db over focal amp and speakers is phenomenal...I wonder which has best screen, the pioneer is full HD come on Sony
Guys, do you know how to fit this head unit into german cars
What about the Sony XAV ax3000
Can I install the 7000 in a 2006 Dodge Charger RT with factory navigation?

Well crap just bought just got the ax 5000 from Crutchfield would it be worth it to return it and get the 7000?
It really just depends on if the new features are worth it to you, mainly the extra power
If you have an external amplifier will the higher output with the 7000 really matter or basically be the same as the 5000?@@Qualitymobilevideo
@@mp099 The sound quality "should" be better considering the higher input signal voltage of the preouts
How many speakers can the 5000 power
I have heard talk that ax7000 will be marine grade. Is this accurate?
No idea bud, Sony has been completely ambiguous about the AX7000 and won't even give us a release month, let alone date
Does the display work good on sun light? I have a Polaris Slingshot and it has a Pioneer AVH and its not very visible on sun light.
The display is great and does a very solid job against sunlight
They are definitely not the same and if you're a motorcycle rider you will know the biggest upgrade is the better water proofing.
who the hell puts a screen on a motorcycle
@@darcymacca4108 considering most baggers come with a touch screen from HD, BMW, Indian. I'd say more than a few people.
Is this device waterproof so you can install it in a Harley Davidson?
The stereo is not waterproof.
Does 7000 have HD Radio? Kind of a deal breaker for me
No HD radio
Is the 7000 compatible with 2019 harleys like the 5000
@Equality 7-2521 LMFAO amen. buy a sena or some galaxy buds if you want music on a bike
Not sure if I should wait for a 10.1" version that pops out of the dash.
That would be xtrons if you like android
They do have a bigger one like that coming soon
Wish the 5000 had the 5v output :)
Disappointing us with the 2V :(
Was the startup time the same?
We couldn't get the AX7000 in, I'm assuming yes if not pretty damn close
Do these units have screen mirroring?
Unfortunately, these stereos have no AV Inputs. However, it's possible to mirror your phone via the backup camera input and use bluetooth for audio. Here's how: th-cam.com/video/fYxlLxaYnKc/w-d-xo.html
If it doesn't have Time Alignment then its not worth. Even Sony WX900BT has Time Alignment but AX5000 or AX3000 doesn't have
Dso is essentially time alignment at least in Sony's mind..
@@bertorodriguez690 No. DSO is different. Its to simulate sound as if it comes from dashboard. This is very useful if one has coaxial speaker as this will elevate soundstage. But if you want to time align woofer, tweeter or front, rear speaker then this wont help
Hence the term as least according to Sony. Some doesn't run time alignment because they have DSO
Please need a release date...
They haven't given an update
can both do mirroring?
Only via the backup camera input
@@Qualitymobilevideo Sorry didn't really get that you mean. do you have a video of that?
ugh no aux input?
Nope, pretty wack
Can you advise what is the best in dash unit you would recommend?
That's pretty broad, I need to know things like your budget, single din or double din, make mode and year of your car, do you want apple carplay or android auto, touchscreen, USB, bluetooth, etc.
@@Qualitymobilevideo 2012 Veloster w/ Tech Package. Yes to Appl Carplay, DSP, GPS, Bluetooth. 500 USD budget. Needs to integrate with backup camera and steering wheel controls.
It says 100w but it's actually 45w rms.
We tested it here: th-cam.com/video/MVbam9fBaXk/w-d-xo.html
Which is still like double 90% of the head units out there.
I like the unit, not the price
Ax8000 looks lit
I NEED A RADIO/ DECK THAT HAS WAZE
if you have waze on your phone you just connect to any android auto headunit and itll work. Prob same for Apple carplay.
Hmmmm🤔. Ok thx
What ! no DAB+
You are amazing
You are
Do you support Arabic? please answer.
We don't speak Arabic sorry
Quality Mobile Video
I am talking about the Sony recorder. Does Sony recorder support Arabic.
So the stereo uses Siri in Apple Carplay and Google Assistant in Android Auto. Both offer Arabic.
Sick
Jesus get someone who can talk
I am talking
