You might have heard the news about Android Auto getting a complete revamp. But most of the car AV receivers have mostly been a hit-a-miss with the Android Auto feature. Sony Electronics is here to change that with their brand new XAV-AX4000 and XAV-AX6000.
Connect your compatible Android Device to display applications on your vehicle’s screen. Enjoy instant access to maps, music or your Phonebook.
Both AV receivers will come with new features, including the one that lets you make a fully wireless smartphone conversion. That feature alone will make it easier for the drivers to use voice control to control the audio and navigate the roads without needing to take their phones out.
However, that is not all that the new AV receivers from Sony Electronics are all about. The devices will also integrate Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Firstly, the Apple CarPlay will enable you to access music, make phone calls, get proper directions, and send and receive messages without any hassles.
Then, the Android Auto, which comes with the latest update, will enhance the safety and convenience to the max. It will enable the drivers to stay informed and entertained without needing to take their eyes off the road.
Alongside that, the devices are compatible with iDatalink Maestro. It makes the devices capable of working like a customized display for the car.
And thanks to that, you will not need to worry about losing the factory-equipped features and functions of the vehicle. It also offers a seamless interface for factory infotainment.
You will also notice that the new AV receivers from Sony Electronics have a sleek overall design. Both of them come with a 6.95 inches display.
While the XAV-AX6000 equips a bezel-less flush panel, the XAV-AX4000 has an anti-glare one. They also offer a stylish look and seamless user experience.
On that note, the XAV-AX6000 has an HDMI port. That will enable you to hook up external video and audio sources. And as both have support for LDAC, you will get an exceptional overall sound from the wireless audio sources.
The devices are also compatible with FLAC audio files. Thanks to that, you can get a redefined car music-listening experience.
Using the receivers will not be a hassle either. Both have simple button controls, and the buttons are reasonably large in size. You can quickly tune the source, sound, and volume settings through those.
And the receivers offer full freedom when it comes to the wallpaper. You can choose any of the preset colors or use your favorite JPEG for the background.
Furthermore, the Sony Electronics XAV-AX6000 and XAV-AX4000 come with a USB Type C connection interface.
For that reason, plugging the devices into the power source will be hassle-free. Also, the connectivity will ensure maximum smartphone connectivity as it can carry up to 5 V and 3 Amps.
