Wish both USB ports were higher wattage - Our 2012 Rav4 already had a Pioneer AVH-P4400BH installed in it when we purchased used. The sound was great however didn't offer AA or Carplay. So we switched to a Pioneer DMH-W2770NEX. And I can't say this unit was worth it. For starters the wireless AA would have constant crackling and static noise, could have been from interference but it wasn't that great. The overall sound of that unit compared to the one we already had was worse. Having to make multiple tweaks and adjustments just to get it to sound decent - not good - decent. Overall kind of sluggish and kaggy. Kept it for 2 weeks and decided it wasn't worth it. We originally were looking at Sony units but figured to stick with Pioneer and yeah that was a waste of 2 weeks. After some research we were decided on either the AV4000, AV5600, AV6000. The 4000 and 6000 come with wireless AA and USB C input while the 6000 has HDMI. The 5600 doesn't have wireless but wired but also has HDMI. I figured to just get a MA1 and now I have wireless. Plus I liked the fact the rear camera and steering wheel control are already integrated into the unit with the 5600 while the 4000 and 6000 has a separate cable. For our car not having to have that separate cable and wiring was a difference. So we went with the 5600. And I can say this unit out the box sounded amazing, on par with the original Pioneer unit we had in the car that was easily years older. Thought the 5600 doesn't have the updated UI like the others, it doesn't really matter. The UI on the 5600 is straight to the point and simply. You know where your going and what to do with out habit to dig for minutes trying to find something - The way it should be! My only grip is the USB PIGTAILS. One is rated at 1.5 outage and the other 0.5. Sucks because I wanted to power my R4 with the main usb but also connect the MA1 but it seems I may need to find a different solution or work around. I know I can rewire the cigarette port to be usb if needed. I wish they could have just have them both rated for the same outage. Haven't tested the HDMI yet but in due time. Overall the sound quality alone without having made any adjustments has me sold to stick with Sony moving forward. If your looking for a great sounding headunit stick with Sony!

Many vehicles require an antenna adapter that convert the factory style antenna end to an aftermarket radio. **Q: Will this fit a 2014 Toyota Corolla?** A: Yes it can fit. You will need parts to install this or any aftermarket radio when replacing the factory radio. **Q: Has anyone had any problems using Carplay with USB extension cables with this AX5600?** A: Yes I have. I have tried every USB, every format, and to no avail. The HDMI plug in doesn't recognize my phone..I have a Pixel 7 pro.. **Q: Does this unit support YouTube video play back?** A: Yes ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Unit.
