Feature-packed and road-ready

When it comes to delivering the goods for in-car entertainment, Sony's XAV-AX4000 digital multimedia receiver doesn't mess around. Its 6.95" resistive touchscreen uses anti-glare technology to ensure you have a clear view of onscreen controls even on the brightest days. And for those of you who love your buttons, Sony includes controls for volume, track-skipping, and more. You can really dial in your style with customizable wallpaper and expansive sound-sculpting tools.

Smartphone fun, without wires

Without exceptional smartphone integration, a new car stereo just isn't as exciting or useful. Thankfully, Sony includes the very best in the XAV-AX4000, with onboard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay that you can access with a wireless connection.

Android Auto (wired and wireless): Android Auto integrates the Android platform into your driving experience in a non-distracting way. You'll have voice control access to Google Maps, weather, music, your phone, text messages, plus easy access to many of your favorite apps.

Apple CarPlay (wireless only): CarPlay integrates your iPhone® into the driving experience, putting iPhone content at the driver's voice command with minimal distraction. That means easy access to your music library, your phone, messages, navigation, and many third-party streaming music apps, too.

High-quality wireless audio streaming

Sony builds in LDAC technology which allows you to wirelessly stream audio from compatible devices at 96 kHz / 24-bit sampling, which is a significant improvement over conventional Bluetooth streaming. But when you need it, you'll always be able to use Bluetooth for streaming audio and hands-free phone calls.

Even more sources

Sony builds in a USB-C input for keeping your phone charged as well as easy access to files on a flash drive, including FLAC and even a variety of video files. Add an optional backup cam to the mix, and you'll be happy with Sony's quick wake-up feature that ensures you'll see what's behind you shortly after turning on your car.

Superior tools for sculpting your sound

Sony builds in a handy array of tools that help you bring your favorite music to life. A 14-band EQ gives you control over 5 output channels, and a 3-zone crossover lets you pull together the fine-tuning of your front speakers, rears, and sub. Plus, you can use Sony's time alignment feature to overcome inaccuracies created by your vehicle's speaker locations.

Plenty of room for wiring

Since the XAV-AX4000 doesn't have a disc player, it can go into a lot more spaces than a regular radio. The screen is the same size as a typical double-DIN (4" tall) receiver, but the actual chassis is just a single-DIN (2" tall) opening height. And it's shallower than typical stereos, so you can tuck the wiring underneath the chassis to make sliding it into the dash easier.

iDatalink Maestro lets you keep your factory extras

The XAV-AX4000 offers compatibility you won't find in many other aftermarket radios, thanks to the iDatalink Maestro module (not included). In a wide selection of vehicles, this module lets you keep factory features that you'd otherwise lose when you install a new radio. You'll also be able to check out engine performance data and other vehicle info on the Sony's screen, even radar info from a compatible detector. Once you've identified your vehicle, you'll see the iDatalink module offered on the way to the Shopping Cart if it's compatible.

Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities
