My car's factory radio can't be replaced, but... maybe it's time for a new car? Okay, okay... buying a car just to add a new radio \u003cem\u003emight\u003c\/em\u003e be taking things too far, but there's no denying this stereo churns up serious fanboy energy within me. Doubtless, it'll do the same for other Sony fans. The Mobile ES Series is legendary in the industry for its commitment to sound quality, and Sony has incorporated that pedigree into a high-performance stereo with a 10.1\" touchscreen and onboard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNot your average touchscreen\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSony designed this digital multimedia receiver with tablet users in mind, providing a super-sized HD capacitive display that doesn't disappoint. Unlike most displays, the LCD is bonded directly to the protective glass touch layer with a transparent adhesive, so you'll get a precise touch experience as well as enhanced contrast and visual performance. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCheck your dash!\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportant Note — The screen measures 10.635\" x 6.695\". Before ordering, check for possible interference with your dash, your shifter, and all other controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFits more dashes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe XAV-9500ES comes in two main pieces: a 2\" tall chassis and a 10.1\" touchscreen. The chassis fits in most single-DIN dash openings, so it'll work great in many older vehicles. When you mount the chassis in your dash opening, the screen offers four-way adjustability you can get a perfect view and not block essential climate controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePlay your High-Res music... wirelessly!\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSony uses a premium digital audio converter (DAC) chip to elevate sound quality across the board. With high-performance 32-bit processing and eliminated timing jitter, you'll hear an impressive dynamic range with minimal distortion. Audiophile-grade capacitors step up the power for satisfying bass performance and a dual-layer chassis helps eliminate electro-magnetic interference for an even cleaner audio signal. Use the rear USB Type-C input to connect your smartphone or thumb drive with High-Resolution audio files to hear music as your favorite artists intended. Sony also builds in LDAC technology which allows you to wirelessly stream audio from compatible devices at 96 kHz \/ 24-bit sampling, which is a significant improvement over conventional Bluetooth streaming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSuperior tools for sculpting your sound\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSony builds in an impressive array of tools that are hard to find in most stereos. A 192-kHz \/ 24-bit DSP offers excellent sound processing and precision time alignment. A 14-band EQ gives you control over the 6 output channels, and each channel also sports an 8-band parametric EQ. Combined with a 3-zone crossover, you'll have everything you need to pull together the fine-tuning of your front speakers, rears, and subs. The XAV-9500ES also includes three pairs of 5-volt RCA preamp outputs that provide an ultra-clean signal when you add amps to your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSmartphone fun, without wires\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithout exceptional smartphone integration, a new car stereo just isn't as exciting or useful. Thankfully, Sony includes the very best in the XAV-9500ES, with onboard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay that you can access with a wireless connection.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndroid Auto (wired and wireless): Android Auto integrates the Android platform into your driving experience in a non-distracting way.
