The Sony XAV-72BT is a great In-Car Entertainment System with beautiful video quality and absolutely amazing sound quality!
The 7″ Touch-Screen with its large touch buttons makes it a breeze to use/navigate its menus and options.
Another cool feature is its gesture commands that allows the user to control the unit with a command stroke on the display, which I found to be quite useful. Soon after using the gestures I found it very easy to change songs/albums without even looking at the unit while driving!
The Bluetooth on the XAV-72BT also impressed me with its hands-free/audio-streaming which worked without any hiccups or cutting out once during the time I used it. I also liked the fact I could jump out of the car at a shop with my phone in my pocket, get back in and continue playing my music via Bluetooth like I never even left the vehicle.
It was also handy that it shows the battery level of your Bluetooth device, that might seem a bit gimmicky but I found it useful considering my phone stay’s in my pocket most of the time in-car and I usually find that I’ve missed important calls due to having a flat battery from not paying attention to battery levels.

Overall its a very cool unit with a nice sized touch-screen, easy to use large touch buttons. Very cool features including ZAPPIN, Gesture Commands, USB, Bluetooth, Reversing camera inputs and 3 4v Pre-outs!
I could see myself being very happy using this unit on a daily basis and found that I didn’t want to give this unit back after the week I had use of it!
