I love the webcast 2.0 for youtube but the interface is slow, laggy, and unresponsive due to the slow processor.

CarPlay seems to work well with few bugs/issues.
I like the physical buttons Sony provides for the basics such as volume and track selection. That’s always welcome in my book.
The physical size of the unit is very welcome as it allows for installation into many more vehicles that have obstructions behind the dash, such as the BMW E46.
The radio tuner is fast and sensitive, for those that still listen to the radio.
Ability to upload your own background is a plus.
The screen reproduces colors well.
The Average:
The capacitive touch screen responds OK. Don’t expect iPhone performance here.
The screen resolution is far from high, nothing to rave about, but nothing to complain about either.
The EQ user interface is just meh. You can’t choose a preset and then modify it. If you want a custom eq you have to choose the Custom preset and start from scratch.
At this $450 price range, Alpine provides much more robust audio tuning to include slopes and levels for your crossovers, parametric eq, etc. Sony gives you just a basic, for dummies audio controls.
The Bad:
Sony chose to fail on the most basic concept: always turn the amp remote feed Off before the preamp/headunit to avoid the dreaded turn off pop. In other words, when you pull your car key out, this headunit goes off immediately, but keeps the external amp On for another 20 seconds or more and when it finally kills the power to the amp, the speakers connected to it pop.
There’s only been one firmware update several months ago and knowing how little value Sony sees in updating their stuff, I don’t see too many more firmware updates in the future which means most of these issues won’t be fixed.
Bluetooth Phone app in this headunit feels like an afterthought. The user interface is ugly and the phone book is very slow. It seems the unit doesn’t cache the phone’s contacts, so when you select phone book it takes several seconds to load. Did I mention the user interface is complete garbage?
The USB music feature has limitations that aren’t documented in the manual. There is a folder/file limit. Depending on how much music is on the flash drive, it can take minutes after you insert the drive or turn on the unit and before music starts playing. When browsing the music on the drive, not all of it shows up due to this undocumented limitation. I’m using a 32gb flash drive.
