Sony Mobile ES XAV-9000ES Unbox, Feature Overview & Live Demo 

Man this review was crazy comprehensive 100% props tyty

Good video, organized. You’re a very effective communicator.

Thanks for your informative review, do you recommend this unit? Can a cd changer be connected? I'm highly considering the new 9000es, it looks like cd album art can be displayed which I like. Thanks

if they do a software update where i can remove clock i might for sure purchase.

I was considering the Somy 9500 but decided on the Alpine ILX-F11 for the bluetooth knob. I love it other than you have to wake the knob up before powering on the head unit. Kinda annoying!

Excellent demonstration and review. I ordered one only because I think Sony is the best out there, with that said this is a pretty black and white unit with a number of key features missing from prior units in the past. Examples, HD radio, custom colors to match your existing automobile as mentioned, once more HD radio ;). I'm buying it for sound but never hurts to have a little bling attached to the unit as an option. Henry Ford would have loved it, "Any color as long as it is black" 😀 I currently have a XAV-701HD, it's going to be a hard pull; as old as she may be that is what this unit should have been with bonuses of the current technology. I think what is worse is that Sony and probably many others don't support firmware nearly long enough. Couple of years and functionality goes down the drain fast. 10 year firmware updates should be the minimum.

Hello! One question. what is the maximum size USB drive can this head-unit accept? btw, Great Video!

considering this or the alpine 507x???

Crazy question but do you know if it sends information to the pre-outs as well as the internal amped speaker outs?

Hi, I have a huge issue connecting my iPhone 12 to the unit. The unit connects by default through Bluetooth resulting in not having the apple CarPlay function. I got my iPhone iOS updated but still the problem persists, your help is highly appreciated Thanks in advance

Again... did they fix the laggy carplay while in a phone call issue?

Can move display up ?

Can you olay music from Bluetooth whike using android auto kaps ?

I've been eyeing on this unit ever since the press release a month ago. I wad wondering how you were able to get your hands on this? Looking at the Sony website gives me the impression that this is not out yet.

is there no way for this unit to mount at the bottom of the screen instead of the top?

I am experiencing Apple CarPlay issues. Specifically, Hey Siri/Siri not responding on my new Sony XAV-9000ES. Not to mention touchscreen accuracy issues as well. I am running the latest iOS 17.0.2 on my iPhone 13 Pro and my 9000ES is on firmware that was shipped out with (product released in stores this past month). I have reached out to Sony directly to push a firmware update to address this. If you're reading this Apple please address on your end as well. Thank you :)

Can you remove the little ES orange logo on the lower right? is it a sticker of embedded in the screen?

Honestly I don't care how sleek or feature rich the head unit is, without a volume knob I personally next it

The crossover seems to be the weak link. So you can’t adjust the tweeter and woofer separately. so u need a dsp anyway.. definitely not gonna be using a 3 way front set up… also only a front and rear output kinda puts you on the simple side .. so the dsp is useless if you want a better set up.

How is the display on this compared to the Sony AX6000? Is it a noticable brightness and resolution bump? Theres no info anywhere about how this looks in comparison to the ax6000, so any information would be appreciated

I really like this sony but went alpine
