The XAV-3500

The XAV-3500 features Dynamic Reality Amp 2 and can deliver up to 55W to four channels. A 10-band equaliser allows users to customise the sound to their preference.

The XAV-AX5500

The Sony XAV-AX5500 is a higher-end model that features a more responsive 6.95-inch capacitive touch display. The bezels are also slimmer which allows for a sleeker installation. Resolution, however, is the same at 800 x 480 pixels.

Apart from Bluetooth and WebLink capabilities, the XAV-AX5500 also supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

It also has dual USB ports to connect your phone and another device like a storage drive for songs.
