Sony XAV-AX5600

Do more with your phone in the car
Talk about bang for your buck — Sony's XAV-AX5600 digital multimedia receiver has all the makings of an instant classic. You'll get phone integration essentials like Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®, plus screen-mirroring capability with WebLink® Cast. That's sure to deliver instant gratification, but it's the thoughtful touches like extra power, awesome expandability, and a bezel-less 6.95" capacitive touchscreen display that'll make you glad you made this stereo investment in the long run.
 
Let Siri® and Google Assistant™ help
CarPlay and Android Auto make important functions easy to control with large, familiar app icons that you can find immediately when you need them. Other info appears on the screen in big, easy-to-read text on a clean, clutter-free background. You can also activate apps with voice commands, talking to Siri or Google Assistant. Make calls, compose texts, select tunes, and start navigation without taking your hands off the wheel or your eyes off the road.
 
WebLink Cast®
With WebLink Cast and a wired connection, you'll be able to mirror your Android or iPhone touchscreen and see it on your stereo's 6.95" display. It's a great way to access apps not supported by
 
Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.
Plus Bluetooth®
With built-in Bluetooth® connectivity, this smartphone-friendly receiver creates a wireless link between your mobile device and your car's audio system, allowing you to stream the music and podcasts you love.
 
Great extras
With two rear USB inputs, you can attach your smartphone for use with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and you can connect a thumb drive with your favorite music, video files, and even lossless FLAC files for a more fulfilling sound. Sony also includes a rear-view camera input and distance guidance display to make the XAV-AX5600 your perfect command center. Sony also includes an HDMI input to incorporate compatible video sources. And this radio is SiriusXM-ready, so you can add a satellite radio tuner and enjoy your favorite music, sports, entertainment, and more anywhere you go.
 
Experience Sony quality
Potent built-in amplification brings depth and dynamics to your music, and Sony lets you take full advantage of this new, full sound with a 10-band equalizer. Fine-tune the acoustics in your vehicle, quickly access preset tone curves to get the sound you want, and use Sony's Extra Bass to enhance the thump you expect from your favorite tunes. If you're building a more robust system with outboard amps, this radio's 5-volt preamp outputs supply a satisfyingly clear signal.
