In case anyone is considering a Sony unit, I want to express one small incompatibility. The backup camera lines on my 2016 US-model BRZ are apparently governed by the stock headunit rather than by the camera itself, so I need to set the Sony ones, but they can't be aligned perfectly.

The XAV-AX series (AX100 in my case) has adjustable parking lines/guides, but they only adjust in width and height. You cannot translate them left and right. Since the stock backup cam is offset by ~12-18" from the centerline of my car, I cannot adjust the Sony's lines appropriately.

Probably not a huge deal to most, but it's really frustrating to me, and something I wish I'd known before purchasing the unit.
