Sony XAV-AX100?
 
I have been searching all over FT86 Club and Reddit for information on this unit to no avail. Does anyone know if this will fit our cars cleanly?

Yup fits like a charm, the install is very straightforward following any of the DIYs on the forum for head unit installs.

Nice. So is this basically the best aftermarket unit out there currently?

It seems to have an 80dB signal to noise ratio and they don't publish the frequency response. If you want bells and whistles, I'd say it's a good head unit. If you want good sound quality, it sucks.

I wish it had support for a SiriusXM tuner. I'm one of those crazy people who actually subscribes and listens to it :) I try to stream it over wifi tethering on my Joying android head unit but 90% of my morning commute is through a cell dead zone so I can't stream it over the internet. Otherwise it would be a perfect head unit for me.

Balls. Guess I'll suffer the stock unit a bit longer.

Is the suction good as sometimes my mats need a clean.

It cleans about the same as the factory radio. I would just throw your mats away...

Do you have a picture of the unit in your dash? I wonder how cleanly it fits :)

Did you need any aftermarket wires to hook everything together during the install, or is just the head-unit fine?

Thanks

Is it same size as the stock Toyota Unit? Might be interested in that case.

The website says 178x100. I thought stock size was 200x100.

would love to see a picture

There's actually a customer photo on the Amazon page showing that this unit doesn't fit organically, and will need extra plastic on the sides.

great find, thanks. Otherwise the unit looks great, hopefully they'll come out with a 200mm version.
