Check out this new Sony Car Stereo! The XAV-AX6000 features Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, 5 volt pre-amp, iDatalink Maestro compatibility, rear USB C input PLUS a Micro HDMI input. In this video I explain what adapters will be needed to utilize this micro HDMI input for either Apple or Android.

The whole reason I made this video is I had a client that really wanted to go with the XAV-AX6000 and utilize the HDMI with his Samsung S20. However, he couldn't bring his phone into the shop for me to test and confirm functionality and Sony wasn't able to tell me with 100% certainty that the adapters I wanted to use would work. Not only did it need to be compatible with his phone, but we needed to be able to mount the HDMI in a clean, flush way in the dash which required a total of 4 parts.
The whole reason I was hesitant is I have seen issues with Alpine whenever trying to use anything other than a straight HDMI to HDMI input. We once had a Toyota Tacoma where we had found a flush mount HDMI accessory specifically for one of the factory knockouts, BUT the backside of the adapter had a micro HDMI and the radio had standard HDMI. Even with adapters in place it didn't work. Alpine explained with THEIR car stereos, you couldn't use any adapters - just straight HDMI to whatever phone adapter. And although Sony couldn't guarantee what I was trying to do would work, they sounded more hopeful that with quality adapters, it would work. Thankfully it all worked!
Of course, Android was a bit quirkier in getting the HDMI to function compared to Apple, but you'll have to watch to see what I mean about quirky. Eventually I got it going using a Samsung S21 for testing. I will say the client's S20 was a bit glitchier, but I did also eventually get his working too.
