Surprisingly, the audio quality went up a notch. The bass doesn't sound near as bad as with the stock HU. I'm starting to think that the stock sound system isn't really all that terrible in the audio department... it's just terrible and clunky in the DSP area, and the interface has much to be desired (but is leaps and bounds above the stock Clarion units Subies normally come with....
). Mirrorlink audio just SUCKED previously. I'll have to see if it sounds cleaner now (doubt it, as before the USB and BT audio sounded just fine without the amp being turned on, but the mirrorlink audio just sounded.... crackly, like it was clipping the digital audio just a tad before it hit the DAC).
This new HU is definitely a VERY good upgrade (Sony XAV-701HD) for the price. But I wouldn't spend $500 on a new HU like this just to keep it wired to the stock audio system. I have a feeling I'm going to really like what better speakers, amp, and an actual subwoofer can do for this car. That's when this HU's DSP capabilities will come into play, I think. I've heard negative things about Sony's car audio products in the past, and I still wouldn't use their amps, subs, and speakers when there's much better available (same with Pioneer, though their Champion series amps can't be beat for the price they go for).
