Radio Summary:
This Sony head unit has a full seven inch screen and features tactile buttons along with a resistive touchscreen to help control the radio. This Sony radio has Bluetooth, USB Media Playback, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Sirius XM capabilities and the option to add a backup camera or an aftermarket amplifier for subwoofers. What this radio doesn’t have is built in GPS Guidance or a DVD/CD player . Installing this unit requires you to run a new microphone wire to the visor or other desired location. Also the USB inputs are at the back of the radio so you must run the USB extension to an accessible location or flush mount a USB port somewhere in your dash. Our plug and play kit removes the need for any wiring so all you have to do is plug everything in. Our radio kit also allows you keep your factory steering wheel controls, amplifier, speakers and factory navigation in most Acura’s.
Who should buy this radio:
This radio is perfect for someone who is just getting into aftermarket car audio. The Sony operating system is simple and easy to use. The touchscreen on this radio is responsive and has nice colors so using it to control Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Bluetooth is easy. The tactile buttons also are a great benefit of this radio. Almost all new aftermarket radios are incorporating capacitive touch buttons so its nice to have buttons you can feel and press down. If you enjoy Sirius XM this radio is Sirius XM ready you just have to buy and install the tuner to begin enjoying Sirius XM.
Who should look for something else:
If you are looking for built in GPS Guidance or a DVD/CD player this radio is not a good choice. This radio also isn’t suggested for those who want to run a complex aftermarket audio system. This radio works great with the factory audio systems in the Acura TL, MDX and TSX but with aftermarket equipment this radio doesn’t have all the recommended settings to run multiple amplifiers. Installing a subwoofer amplifier is no problem but if you are planning to run a two or three amplifier system then we recommend a Kenwood radio instead.
