Sony XAV-AX8100 floating-screen digital media receiver | Crutchfield

Sony's XAV-AX8100 fits into a single-DIN opening and gives you a huge 8.95-inch touchscreen for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. It's a great way to upgrade your driving experience and sound quality, especially in older cars with the smaller opening.

The screen is a hair shy of 9 inches, and gives you some adjustments while you install it so you're not blocking vents or other physical controls in your vehicle. Plug in your iPhone or Android phone, and you'll get a nice big display for Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.

Sony delivers on sound quality, too, as you'd expect. The built-in amp pumps out a robust 20 watts RMS, and if you'd like to expand your system using amps and subs you can take advantage of the clear signal provided by 5-volt preamp outputs. Built-in Bluetooth gives you another convenient way to play music in the car.

As car audio becomes more about integrating your smartphone into the dash, the large screen of a receiver like the XAV-AX8100 really helps make driving time that much better.
