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 it’s 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 makes it easier than ever to navigate, communicate and play music on the road. Just connect your iPhone to the XAV-AX1000 to see everything you need on the large touchscreen.

Siri with Apple CarPlay

Easily access the iPhone features you know and love, just by talking to Siri. Music, maps, phone calls and messages are all under your control.

Your personal navigator

Get directions in real time without ever taking your hands off the wheel. Easily navigate to your destination, or search for stopovers mid-journey.

Clear, responsive touchscreen
Everything you need is a quick tap away, thanks to the 15.7 cm diagonal (6.2 inch) full-colour touchscreen. It wakes up two and a half times faster than previous models, so you can get on the road in no time.

Turn or push to control
The ergonomic rotary dial makes operation distraction-free. Turn it to control volume, or push the integrated button to launch sound control menus. Alternatively, hold the button to use voice commands.

Hear music your way
Multiple customisation options let you adapt the audio experience to your liking. And with the built-in 4 x 55W amplification, music sounds clear even at high volumes. 

Powerful, clear amplification
Advanced signal processing from the 4 x 55W Dynamic Reality Amp 2 removes interference, so music sounds clear and detailed. Even when you crank up the volume.

Music that jumps from your dashboard
Sound waves are directional, so if your speakers are in your doors or under your dash, the audio may seem muddy or unclear. Dynamic Stage Organiser adjusts the signal, improving the stereo positioning so music sounds like it's coming from the dashboard.

Sculpt your sound
Tailor the sound to your personal preference with the 10-band graphic equaliser.

Build your own sound system
With the three pre-outs, you can add components of your choice, like extra amplifiers and subwoofers.

Rear view camera ready
Got a rear camera installed? View its feed through the screen, along with customisable guidelines that help you back in safely.

Easy installation with a compact rear chassis
Despite its double-DIN display, the rear chassis is far smaller than conventional double-DIN units. This makes for much easier installation, and leaves plenty of room for cabling and other accessories in the space behind the display.

Control everything simply on the road, so you can safely focus on driving. Voice control from Apple CarPlay helps with directions, calls and more. The large, clear touchscreen wakes up two and a half times faster than previous models and gives you intuitive control over your music and smartphone functions.
