Debating this for my ‘12 SCREW.
Sony is releasing the XAV-AX8000 in December - $600 for an up-to-date infotainment system with a 9” screen. Rear-camera compatible. The only issue is that I can’t find anything about it keeping the climate control capability of the native SYNC system, which is a bummer. I emailed Sony about it and got a response that reads like it was written by an automated algorithm or someone without a firm grasp of English/the question I was asking. Not sure if the system can handle the climate control interface or if there’s an adapter available to bring in that functionality. Still, I wanted to put this on the radar for the other Gen 1 owners who are looking to upgrade from the SYNC system.
