The 10.1-inch anti-glare capacitive screen on the XAV-9500ES looks great, with punchy colors and contrast. It mounts in a single-DIN opening, so you can add it to an older car. Once installed, you can adjust it for the best viewing angle and so it doesn't block your vents.

The real story of the Mobile ES line is the sound quality. Sony equips the XAV-9500ES with a premium DAC chip and a strong amplifier to help bring your music to life. You can then sculpt that sound to perfection using a variety of tools, including a 14-band EQ, DSP with time alignment, and a 3-zone crossover system.

The XAV-9500ES works wirelessly in a bunch of ways, starting with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Just leave your phone in your pocket for quick trips, and you'll have the best parts of your phone ported straight to the big, beautiful screen. For added convenience, you can use Bluetooth to play your music, or stream high-res tunes using Sony's LDAC technology.

Sony has made some great-sounding receivers with great screens over the years, but the XAV-9500ES is their best yet. It'll not only transform the interior of your vehicle, it'll transform your entire driving experience.
