Sony XAV-AX8000

Sony’s star stereo

When I heard about Sony’s XAV-AX8000 digital multimedia receiver, I was a little jealous of anyone who’d be swapping their old stereo out for this major touchscreen upgrade. I’ve always been a Sony fan for their practical feature sets and streamlined approach to stereos — and the XAV-AX8000 adds an impressive 8.95″ touchscreen to the mix. Best of all, the single-DIN (2″ tall) chassis design unlocks awesome possibilities for vehicle owners who thought they could never have an interface this big in their dash. This Sony’s resistive touchscreen hovers over your dash and you can adjust its angle to the best possible fit.

Works in most dashes

The XAV-AX8000 comes in two main pieces: a 2″ tall chassis and a 8.95″ touchscreen. The chassis fits in most single-DIN dash openings, and since there’s no disc player, the mounting depth shouldn’t be a major issue for most vehicles. When you mount the chassis in your dash opening, the screen offers three-way adjustability so that you don’t block essential climate controls upon installation.
