The Sony AX1000 is the entry level in-dash audiovisual system to beat. It ticks all the necessary boxes and, arguably, none of the non-essential superfluities. It all starts with a large 157mm touchscreen display, which provides effortless control of the intuitive graphic user interface. Best of all, and unlike many units several times its price, you get a proper analogue rotary dial for volume control. This too often overlooked feature is an ergonomic must, and a damn sight better than smashing buttons every time you want to adjust the volume up or down.Apple CarPlay tops the list of must-have features for a contemporary automotive A/V source, and is supported by the XAV-AX1000. Hard wired USB connection is provided for mobile devices and enables best feature support as well as charging on the go, however Bluetooth is also provided for additional connectivity, flexibility and convenience. Accessing your favourite songs using Apple Music, Spotify or your favourite apps is simple and straightforward.By connecting your phone to the Sony XAV-AX1000 the navigation, communication, and all your music is right there in the dash at your command. Intelligent voice control also allows you to keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. In terms of safety, having the ability to speak commands to your phone rather than fumbling with the handset to open a navigation app, take a note, send a text or initiate a phonecall is something no one should be without.The Sony XAV-XA1000 also provides expansive preamp features to allow both basic and expert control over your sound stage and listening experience with a full complement of active high and low pass filters as well as a sophisticated 10-band graphic equalizer and clever Dynamic Stage Organiser. Amplification duties are taken care of by a powerful inbuilt 4 channel amplifier
