If you want no bugs go wired.
Amazing headunit. No bugs since it's wired. And puts put decent sounds to the Kicker DS 6.5" in my 2006 CRV. Very fast interface since it's wired. But the system settings need alittle updating.

Nice radio to add modern features to an older vehicle
Easy to install, works great, needed to change the usb cord because the supplied one wasn't allowing the phone to connect for android auto function

So, so
Works as intended. Connectivity was a pain. Installation guide was not helpful thankfully YouTube exists. Image quality is so-so. Audio quality is so so and lacks punch that stock radio had.

Do not buy. Older model that Sony is no longer updating.
Update: I’m very disappointed in this stereo. It has a horrid glare where you can’t even see the screen in the daytime. On top of which unless you get a top-of-the-line USB connector and a USB cable this has issues connecting to CarPlay and still has issues even with all of that. ln many reviews i’ve read it can even damage the newer USB-C based iPhones. I’ve had a lot of luck with the Sonys in the past, so I did not think to read any reviews on this one and I wish I had. Save your money and look for either a Kenwood or JVC as much of my research has pointed that their screens are built differently and do not have the glare issue. Most newer ones are also wireless. I plan to upgrade as soon as I can. The lesson I learned from all of this is to do your research. Awesome stereo fit in my 2018 Titan perfectly. One thing… it did seem a little glitchy when I first got it in. After you get it installed look up the model number plus firmware update. It should take you to Sonys website where they’ll show you how to download the update firmware onto a jump drive and install it to the head unit. After doing this all of the issues went away and it works perfectly
