nice bit of kit.

XAV-AX8050D 13 January 2026 by Paul turbo (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified

it's a few years old but still a good bit of kit. I hate weblink that's just absolutely useless. but i do have old firmware on the unit. ¹.12 I am now trying to install the later version 2.00 which at moment in time won't install. I have formatted the usb device and reinstalled the firmware onto it. also unzipped the folder and have the correct files on it. so I will try it again. once it's updated I think the unit will work better as I read it will. the unit it's Self is solid and I think well made. looks awesome.

Brilliant great unit shame about weblink

XAV-AX8050D 21 September 2024 by NigelBl (United Kingdom)

I bought this about a month ago. So far very happy with the headunit. I've managed to get it to work with both Android auto and apple carplay. I'd like to have a list of Bluetooth connected devices I could pick from in the headunit instead of turning Bluetooth off and back on and pairing with the other device, but it isn't a huge issue. I had to find a workaround to bypass weblink which is the worst app I've ever come across. Why such rubbish is forced on the customer of a £500+ headunit I don't know.

Lovely, But

XAV-AX8050D 25 December 2023 by Nocode 2 (United Kingdom)

It’s a great sounding stereo and lovely screen but sadly and very disappointingly for a modern unit that cost nearly £500 it has only 1 USB and no HDMI also no video out for connecting to my TV in the camper

It’s got all the features I require

XAV-AX8050D 04 June 2021 by Martinph (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified

I decided to go for a well known manufacturer and I very pleased. The dab radio is excellent, easily search for stations and saving the station is not a problem. Connection to the Apple CarPlay gives a very good response to the navigation software and is easily done through the cable connection. I wasn’t impressed with the installation instruction, there are rather large omissions for example wiring the reversing camera in. The software update was very straightforward.

Very pleased

XAV-AX8050D 13 March 2021 by bfarrell (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified

This head unit was installed a month ago and I'm very pleased with all its features and overall quality. Very easy to use and android auto is amazing. The large 9 inch screen looks great and of course the sound quality is sharp as you'd expect from a sony unit.

Great upgrade from stock radio!

XAV-AX8050D 09 December 2020 by MightyB (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified

Bought this to replace the factory fitted radio in my car and it has been a treat! Apple CarPlay was the main selling point beside the large screen! Easy to wire up if you get the right kit and easy set up!

Great big screen replacement to OEM unit

XAV-AX8050D 23 November 2020 by awa705 (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified

Bought the unit to replace a Kenwood DNX518VDABS, part of that choice was to get rid of an expensive local SatNav unit and rely solely on Android Auto. + Design and integration of the unit is really good considering the size of the screen + Sound quality is very good for an integrated amp, I have wired up to a separate power amp and the difference is minimal + Screen layout is simple and fuss free in stark contrast to a Kenwod which is overly crowded with multiple ways of achieving the same thing. - Screen resolution is low but that is standard across brands for this type of product - I have a screen sensitivity issue in the lower LHS of the screen (it doesn't recognise my touch), seems worse with Android Auto - but still investigating this. - Would prefer two USB inputs, one for permanent SSD connection in the glovebox and one to connect a phone up to in the centre console.

System fast and responsive great CarPlay integration the only thing that lets it down is the screen is sometimes not that clear in sunlight.
