Have been looking at a 10” Kenwood for a long time and just saw this sony model. I like the glare free screen which still looked very sharp overall. Also like the right-left adjustability whereas most brands can only do up-down, I believe. Gains me almost an inch additional clearance on left side to reduce blocking push button. Sony has 3 year warranty whereas Kenwood and alpine have 2. Also a bonus. Similar price to their top end models as well. One issue is that I’m thinking of an aftermarket backup camera and don’t think Sony makes one so only option is a generic model, I assume? Anyone install this model? Thoughts on the experience?
I installed a much older Sony XAV-AX100 in our then-new Prius 6 years ago, and it still functions flawlessly. So I'm mostly here to offer moral support. Sony decks are set up to work with generic aftermarket 12 volt rear vision cameras. I had to go out of my way to adapt ours with a voltage regulator so that it could work with the Toyota 6 volt camera that came on our car.
