I’ve been looking at this model as well. Does everything seem to be working with the backup camera and stuff?I’m just putting this up because I was looking for info myself. Today I got this Sony xav8000 radio installed. It fits pretty nicely in the car. I had the alpine ilx-309 but didn’t like the unit functionality. Here are the pics of both: View attachment 290292 View attachment 290298 View attachment 290297 View attachment 290296 View attachment 290295 View attachment 290294 View attachment 290293
Here is the alpine:

Are the USB ports that are on the dash down by the cup holders functional?Everything works. I had a pro shop install it. The first time around the volume keys and the track advance buttons on the steering wheel were acting funny. I brought it back and they put in a different brand of steering control adapter. It works great now. Back up camera is good too. It was too distorted on the alpine. Also, the alpine dim was still too bright when driving at night. The Sony has better, more intuitive software.

I just hit up my local audio shop and am going to have this same setup installed in my 2017 Hybrid. I’m excited..I really hate the factory Entune setup.I’m just putting this up because I was looking for info myself. Today I got this Sony xav8000 radio installed. It fits pretty nicely in the car.

Did u do for Highlander 2019 LE??I don’t have xm radio but when I did I used the carplay app and it worked good. I don’t know what brand of steering control they used.

Where did they place the external microphone?There is a height and an angle adjustment. When they first put it in they had it too high and it looked funny to me. Make sure they have you see the placement before they screw it in tight.

Can you provide a rough idea of the cost with professional installation?I’m just putting this up because I was looking for info myself. Today I got this Sony xav8000 radio installed.
