Hey All,

The Sony XAV-AX100 head unit is currently on sale at Supercheap Auto for $419.24 until 16/09/2018. + $9.95 postage.
Cheapest since last deal I can find ($399.20 - 20/12/17)

I've been eyeing it off but it kept showing no stores had stock near me in Vic and it wasn't available for delivery.
Just called Supercheap and was advised there's 200+ units available. So they must have restocked, Pickup still shows me none around me.

I ordered one and my postage was waived, unsure if its because I'm a member or something else, might apply to others.

Also bought my Fascia + Wiring from eBay, this store is participating with the 20% POLLEN Code and seems to have most AERPRO Harness'/Cables and other brand Fascia's/Cables.
I saved $43. https://www.ebay.com.au/usr/brandbeast?_trksid=p2047675.l255…

    Paid about $500 for this a few months ago. Great unit! At this price it's certainly a bargain.

    • timbo83 on 13/09/2018 - 15:09

      Yep, I picked it up for $399 approx 6 months ago. For the price it has been great, haven't missed the CD slot (though we do have some kids CDs that go unused).

      Can't remember what reversing camera we got but it works nicely.

      There is a software mod to remove warning screen on startup, I haven't done yet but will do shortly.

      My wife has an iPhone and I have Android. I'd say Android Auto is better overall, particularly since I have a Google Music subscription. Installed Waze and some other apps and works great.

      One point - on my old Samsung S7 the connection was a little problematic and would drop out and need to be physically replugged. My S8 works absolutely fine, and I seemed to find similar reports about s7 stability in various forums.

      • Nom on 13/09/2018 - 16:07

        timbo83, update the firmware with the download on Sony.com.au - the newer firmware only shows the warning screen for a couple of seconds, you no longer need to click "OK" to dismiss it.

        Have you installed it by yourself?

        • timbo83 on 14/09/2018 - 07:56

          I got mine professionally installed. Would have done if only head unit and steering control, but time poor to be mucking around wiring reversing cameras.

          @timbo83: Did you have a head unit in the car before? Are all head unit connections the same?

        • Nom on 14/09/2018 - 10:51

          @flaminglemon: Use https://aerpro.com/ to find out what adaptors your car needs. Once you've bought all the right bits, most cars are plug and play - depending on how integrated your current headunit is into the dash though.

    • Geoff-bargain on 13/09/2018 - 16:59

      Does it have digital radio?

      • rith on 13/09/2018 - 17:48

  • bean_counter on 13/09/2018 - 14:06

    Tried purchasing several current catalogue items from Supercheap Auto's eBay store using PLENTY10 code and click and collect. Code worked but order failed. Contacted eBay and they said problem with seller's PayPal account and they don't know when it's going to be fixed. Only way of finding out is to do a new purchase and see whether it fails again or not. Anyone else have same problem?

    • poiterbad on 13/09/2018 - 18:59

      I did the same for multiple stores. Went on the supercheap website directly and found it shows out of stock everywhere bar one place. I think their eBay store isn't updating the out of stock correctly.

      • GrantG on 13/09/2018 - 19:57

        Thanks, ended up paying the $7.95 postage

        • bean_counter on 14/09/2018 - 15:51

          FYI - I noticed some of the items in my eBay cart had an annotation:
          "Offer applied
          Save with great prices".

          This was before entering PLENTY10!!!

          I tested excluding these items from my purchase - and my order for the remaining items was processed normally (including the PLENTY10 discount). I had unsuccessfully tried several times to get an order processed by trying different things e.g. reducing number of items being ordered, deleting items not in stock at my local SCA (per SCA website) even though they were showing as in stock at local SCA on eBay etc.

          I ordered the rest on SCA website (with 4.2% Cashrewards) instead of eBay as I couldn't be bothered trying to get eBay to fix the issue as I'd already wasted too much time and they weren't very helpful with this issue when I originally contacted them.

  • Risser on 13/09/2018 - 14:25

    So this harness would work for a toyota hiace, replacing the headunit. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Aerpro-Toyota-Hiace-2004-On-T-Ha…

    I've heard Android is bringing out a wire-free version of android auto, that sounds way better than having to plug in your phone every time you want to enable it?

    • timbo83 on 13/09/2018 - 15:06

      Yes, though having a decently wired setup isn't too bad. If I had the choice however wireless would absolutely be the go. Shame there will never be a firmware update to enable this on devices like this.

    • Nom on 13/09/2018 - 16:08
      +2

      Nope - if you don't plug your phone in, the battery drains pretty quickly whilst you're driving along using the GPS.

      So you'll still be plugging in your phone…

      • nexus444 on 13/09/2018 - 23:30

        Not unless you have a spot you can modify a wireless charging spot for. What I plan on doing when wireless comes to Australia.

    • entropysbane on 13/09/2018 - 20:29

      Kenwood aftermarket head units in the USA have wireless android. But not in Australia. I suspect volumes too low to get regulatory approval.
      Alpine and pioneer aftermarket head units have wireless CarPlay.

      +4

      Use this site: https://aerpro.com/headunit/sony/xav-ax100

      You may need a mounting/facia kit to make it fit (if it's not standard DIN), and a harness to connect it to your car's existing wiring. As for installing it, I was able to manage just from YouTube tutorials :)

      • Aloa on 13/09/2018 - 15:15

        Thanks mate! Seems easy enough for me to install just by following the YouTube. :-)

        2. Installation Kit
        3. 1 of the 3 facias

        https://aerpro.com/vehicles/honda/honda-accord-2003-2007#-1

        How much would I be looking at dollar figure wise total?

        Is it fairly easy to install myself or should I get a professional to do it?

        I'm trying to keep the budget down as much as possible.

        Tia

        • rith on 14/09/2018 - 00:46

          Depends on your car, and how easy it is to take apart the dash. Mine was fairly simple. Accessing some screws may be difficult, and also feeding the wires.

          It looks like your particular dash has a bunch of climate controls to worry about? I'm not sure, sorry :/

  • supaderp on 13/09/2018 - 14:37

    Good reverse camera for this unit?

    • Wallyt99 on 13/09/2018 - 16:04

      Not included. Is capable.

    • boab88 on 13/09/2018 - 18:50

      The unit can connect to your reversing camera as long as you have it fitted already. I hooked this unit up to our factory fitted camera (IX35) and it looks good but I really miss the projection of the car shape that I had with the factory unit. Right now android auto shows me three lines that make it easy to see distance left but don't help me line up with a tight space and ensure I'm parked straight.

  • Schema on 13/09/2018 - 15:05

    I'd advise not buying from brandbeast, the seller that was suggested for wiring harnesses.
    took them 6 weeks to send me a aerpro wiring harness for a unit i bought a few months ago.

    • Chugger on 13/09/2018 - 16:22

    Really nice offer. Bought this for about $475 few months ago.
    Having used this model i can recommend it. Really nice and not so funky user interface like in other brand models.

    Also it is possible they’re trying to empty the stocks to give space for the newer ax200 and ax5000 models. So better get it now :-)

  • Rauland on 13/09/2018 - 15:57

    Warning! Probably takes about 15-17 seconds until it boots up and starts playing music. But reversing camera (If wired in, I got a $10 camera off ebay and it worked perfectly) works straight away.

    • Wallyt99 on 13/09/2018 - 16:06
      +2

      Thats BS mate. I have this unit - it takes about 6-7 seconds. Obviously if you want to put on the Android Auto its a little longer but still only and additional 5-6 seconds. If Android or Apple are taking too long to boot then the problem is with your phone not the head unit.

    • rith on 13/09/2018 - 17:54

      Got a link to the camera by any chance? I haven't installed one on my car yet.

      • jameswayne on 14/09/2018 - 00:01

        Got heaps on ebay, just search reverse camera and choose one. Make sure you pick the ones with 3089 chip sets which provides crisper and better night images

    Very important note

    These are NOT a standard double DIN size

    It's a single DIN unit with an overhanging face - this will NOT suit all vehicles and fascias that you are trying to fit it in.

    • Nom on 13/09/2018 - 16:36
      +2

      The overhanging-face-part is standard double DIN size - mine's installed into a standard double DIN hole with no problem.

      Note that it doesn't come with a cage - I used a https://aerpro.com/fp953000

    • Wallyt99 on 27/10/2018 - 05:31

      These ARE standard double din. The install body is single din and the face is Doble din.

      It comes with brackets to allow the body to screw into the double din holes,

      It WILL fit in any double din holebecause it's smaller.

      It has a beautiful flush fitting install profile too.

  • Dhandoftime on 13/09/2018 - 17:11

    • uniqinsanity on 14/09/2018 - 13:26

      Aftermarket units are generally compatible with all cars. However this is a Double Din Unit. You will need to have a double din space or double din unit already in place from factory otherwise this wont work

      The rest is buying a Fascia for the unit and either buy an wire adapter/harness for your car or you chop and solder your factory wires together however you lose the choice of going back to factory unit.

        Are you sure you need an adaptor with this? You can train it to your car's controls as long as it's a standard resistive setup, if I'm not mistaken.

      What's a good Android head unit nowadays? The last time I looked at them, they were very iffy in terms of responsiveness, stability, and reliability.
      Do they start up immediately, or do they have to boot up every time you start the engine?

        On my Chinese head unit (they are all made there these days) it can be set to "stand by" for a period you choose in the settings. I have mine set to 30 minutes and if i restart the car within that time the unit starts up instantly with all apps & features running that were on when you turned it off.
        Mine is a Joying brand unit and has been brilliant for the couple of years i have had it.

      Most Toyotas are a 200x100mm opening .. others are usually a 180x100mm. You can buy headunits for toyotas (200x100) that do not need facia fill in panels.
