Review: So much better than AX8100 - I purchased this reciever to replace the AX8100 that came installed in my 2024 Entegra Odyssey. The number one issue I had with the 8100 was the inability to see the screen with polarized sunglasses, the screen just appeared solid black. The screen on the 8500 allows the use of polarized sunglasses. Additionally the screen is much clearer, and sharper and shows less glare than the 8100. The audio is also substantially improved over the 8100. Even with the same speakers it sounds amazing. Android Auto works wirelessly connecting automatically. No regrets on this purchase at all. I am very happy with the unit.
Review: Solid but can.t download apps - Awesome quality on the physical construction. Screen is fantastic. Sound quality is decent. My biggest gripe is that other competitive screens run on a version of android that lets you download apps. Not seeing this one allow that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid but can.t download apps

Awesome quality on the physical construction. Screen is fantastic. Sound quality is decent. My biggest gripe is that other competitive screens run on a version of android that lets you download apps. Not seeing this one allow that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sound, quick input response, very refined!
*by A***R on June 30, 2025*

I've only had this unit installed for a few days but, wow this thing is great so far! I recently installed a Jense. CAR140MW and it malfunctioned after a month. I returned it and decided to step up to this Sony unit. I am glad I did. What a difference! The sound quality on this unit is superb. One of the most notable differences with this unit compared to the Jensen is it's refinement amd responsiveness. It is lightning quick when selecting on screen buttons or apps. Connects seamlessly to my Samsung phone via wireless android auto. So far so good. Love it!
