Sony XAV-AX8500 Unbox, Live Demo & Feature Overview 

@caraudionow Can you also do a brief video that compares the 8500/9000/9500 to talk about what the primary differences between the 3? They all kind of seem similar outside of the mounting methods and screen sizes. Not sure if there's a significant difference in UI, Functions, or features.

Fantastic overview! You answered so many of my questions. I was debating between the 9500 and this. Keep up the great work.

When will these be availible in the USA and what is the MSRP?

Been waiting to see this nice review. When will these manufacturers get rid of these awful borders around the actual screen? Every phone or tv has minimal borders now. Car sterio manufacturers just cant understand that. They waste so much display on nothing and it looks so ugly. You can fit a larger image on the display without those borders or gain needed realestate if u cut them off.

Still waiting for the version with the optical output for my Helix DSP. All the Chinese ones have it. Though that's optical digital shitty audio signals 🙄

What do I need to buy to watch videos from my samsung phone?

Does this head unit support wired CarPlay? Because I want to access WiFi while using CarPlay

Is this screen viewable with polarized lenses? Also, any idea if this will plug right in to an application that already had an AX8100?

So you can hook up cd/dvd player

do you know when its available?

Does it have idatalink?

Does it come with a blanking plate or cubby for 2nd DIN slot if installing in 2 din space?

Androids actually can be used as usb storage devices

When can I buy this?
