Product Spotlight: Sony XAV-AX4000 Multimedia Receiver

Sony XAV-A4000Need help wading through the hundreds of car radio upgrade options? Drop by Ocala Car Audio and ask about the Sony XAV-AX4000 multimedia receiver. This radio features wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, an impressive 6.95-inch capacitive touch display and premium Bluetooth audio streaming. It also features one of the most intuitive interfaces on the market, so it’s easy to use!

Sony XAV-AX4000 Audio Source Technologies

Sony XAV-A4000The XAV-AX4000 includes an AM/FM receiver with station information display. You can connect a USB memory stick to the rear USB-C port to play MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV, FLAC, ALAC, DSF or DSDIFF audio files. The port will provide up to 3 amps of current to charge your smartphone in record time. The built-in Bluetooth radio allows for hands-free calling and can stream audio from your phone. If you have a newer Android-based smartphone, LDAC support provides near CD-quality sound wirelessly. We can also upgrade the radio with a SiriusXM satellite radio receiver.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity allow you to use the digital assistant on your smartphone to choose from dozens of streaming options like Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio, Tidal or Audible. You can also place phone calls by number or let the system search the internet based on a business name and location. You can have the system read incoming text messages, and you can even dictate a response, all while keeping your eyes on the road. Of course, navigation information to almost any location in North America is available by simply asking.

Connectivity and Upgrade Options

The XAV-AX4000 has a built-in 20-watts-per-channel amp to power your speakers, or we can use the 2-volt preamp outputs to connect aftermarket high-power amps to bring your speakers to life. The radio includes a 14-band graphic equalizer, electronic crossovers and signal delay settings that allow us to optimize the speakers’ sound in your car or truck.

Compatibility with your steering wheel buttons and support for the Maestro RR radio integration module let this Sony radio work with the existing controls or technology in your vehicle. A backup camera input with both manual and automatic triggering will help you see what’s behind your vehicle when parking or maneuvering.

This Amazing Jeep Wrangler got Audio and Customization

Jeep Wrangler sitting in front of Ocala Car Audio
This 2020 Jeep Wrangler came in for a stereo and leather upgrade

The owner of this 2020 Jeep Wrangler contacted Ocala Car Audio to enlist our assistance in finishing this customization project. He had purchased this Jeep for his daughter and wanted us to coordinate several upgrades to match his vision. This Jeep Wrangler started life in Las Vegas with a 392-cubic inch V8 that can crank out a mind-bending 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. The vehicle already had a lift kit and 37-inch tires. He wanted us to upgrade the interior, install a premium entertainment system and have the vehicle painted. After reviewing the project, we agreed to coordinate its completion with the help of several local shops.

The C3 speakers are very powerful and will be audible even in the noisy Jeep environment.

Our upgrades left plenty of storage space in the back of the Jeep

We started with what we do best: an audio system upgrade. The heart of the new stereo is a Stinger UN1810 multimedia receiver that’s known as the Heigh10. This radio features a massive 10-inch display and includes both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity. We upgraded the radio with an SXV300v1 SiriusXM satellite radio receiver so she’d be able to listen to any genre of music she wanted.

Our technicians used Stinger’s SRK-JW18EH installation kit to integrate the radio into the dash and allow it to communicate with the data network in the vehicle. Not only do the volume buttons on the steering wheel work with the Heigh10, but the radio can display engine and drivetrain information on the screen.

The new radio feeds a five-channel JL Audio VX1000/5i amplifier that we mounted under the driver’s seat using JL’s SBA-J-JLU-UAR bracket. This amp is rated to produce 75 watts of power from the four main channels and 600 watts from the subwoofer channel. More importantly, it includes a powerful digital signal processor that we used to configure the speaker’s crossovers, output levels and equalization settings. A four-AWG JL Audio XD-PCS4-1B power kit feeds the amp, and we added a JL Audio DRC-205 remote level control to make it easy to adjust the subwoofer output level from the front seat.

Jeep Wrangler Speaker Choices

For speakers, we installed two sets of JL Audio C3-650 6.5-inch components. The front set replaces the woofers in the bottom of the dash and the small midrange speakers near the windshield. The second set is mounted in the overhead soundbar just behind the driver and passenger seats.

Delivering solid bass performance was important to the upgrade, so we removed the stock subwoofer from the vehicle and purchased new trim panels so that we could install a set of JL Audio Stealthbox enclosures. The SB-J-JL4DPAS/10TW1-4 and SB-J-JL4DDRV/10TW1-4 enclosures feature 10TW1-4 10-inch subwoofers in fiberglass pods that are optimized for the area above the rear wheel well.

Remote Starter and Accessory Upgrades

Step bars were added to facilitate easier entry and exit from the Jeep.

With all the customization planned for the vehicle, the owner wanted it to be protected. We installed a Compustar remote car starter with its Alarm-It security upgrade. The security options include shock, tilt and motion sensors along with a high-output siren. The client chose one of the classic Compustar 901 two-way LCD remotes and the DroneMobile smartphone interface to control the alarm and starter. DroneMobile uses cellular communication to relay commands from the smartphone to the vehicle and provides alerts instantly if someone is tampering with it.

Accessories and Lighting

Next, we added a few functional and styling upgrades to the vehicle. We installed a set of XK Glow LED wheel rings along with a Pro-Series under-car kit and their Jeep-specific third brake light system. All the accent lighting can be controlled by a smartphone application to choose a color or change the pattern when the Jeep is parked.

We installed a Warn full-width crawler bumper and mounted a VR Evo 12-S 12000-pound winch to it. This winch includes 90 feet of 3/8-inch synthetic cable. We added a set of 3.5-inch Heise HE-DL2 LED driving lights to the bumper to help her see once the sun sets.

Working With Local Partners

We had our friends at Titan Up Automotive Services install an Alea Leather kit on the front and rear seats. The kit also includes new leather trim pieces that fit around the transfer case and gear selector.

Our client felt that the Jeep Wrangler was a little to tall. To help accommodate them we worked with a couple of local partners. Ocala Tire Service helped by installing smaller 35″ tires. After the tires were changed, we took the Jeep to Groeb Motorsports to help lower the suspension.

The icing on the cake for the project was a trip to see Claudio and Paintworx for a custom paint job. The Jeep came to use in a rather bland gray. The client wanted something vibrant and exciting and chose a custom metallic yellow hue that made this vehicle absolutely POP!

Ocala’s Vehicle Customization Experts

Working with our vehicle customization partners in the area, we upgraded this Jeep into something classy and unique for our client. He was very happy with the results and impressed with our ability to manage the project. We’re sure his daughter is going to love her new Jeep Wrangler. If you’re interested in upgrading your Jeep, drop by Ocala Car Audio and speak with one of our Product Specialists. You can also reach us by phone or e-mail using our contact page.

This premium double-DIN radio includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, dual camera inputs and a crystal-clear, capacitive-touch 7-inch LCD screen.

Endless Source Options

The Alpine iLX-W650 includes an AM/FM tuner, and we can add SiriusXM satellite radio using an SXV300 tuner module during the installation process. Bluetooth functions include hands-free calling and high-quality audio streaming with remote control capabilities.

A USB port on the rear of the chassis can be used with an appropriate cable to enable Apple CarPlay or Android Auto smartphone integration. These communication interfaces allow you to make phone calls or send text messages by talking to the radio. In most vehicles, a radio button interface for your steering wheel allows for the voice recognition features to be utilized without having to take your eyes off the road or touch the radio. Both systems include several options for turn-by-turn navigation directions to the destination of your choice.

Alpine iLX-W650 Audio Features

The iLX-W650 includes a 9-band parametric equalizer, adjustable frequency electronic crossovers and signal delay adjustments that our team can use to create a very lifelike listening experience in your vehicle. Triple 4-volt preamp outputs allow for the addition of a subwoofer or a high-power amplifier from your front speakers to bring the system to life.

Shallow Chassis Makes Installation Easy

Alpine iLX-W650One of the unique aspects of the iLX-W650 is that the entire radio chassis is less than three inches deep. This design opens up several installation options for vehicles like Ford Mustangs and Chevy pickup trucks. We can even tuck one of the KTA-450 four-channel amplifiers behind the radio to deliver a clean 50 watts of power to each of your speakers.

Visit Ocala Car Audio to Experience this Unique Radio Solution

If the Alpine ILX-W650 sounds like a good solution for your vehicle, drop into Ocala Car Audio on Pine Avenue and ask for a demonstration. For more information, send our team an e-mail using the contact page.

The screen mounts to the front of the radio and hovers just in front of your dash, just like the radios in a new Mercedes-Benz or Mazda. This large-screen design makes it easy to see navigation information or what song is playing with a glance.

Vehicle integration is quick and easy, thanks to support for the iDatalink Maestro vehicle integration module. With a Maestro RR or the new RR2, you can see vehicle information right the screen of the Alpine, adjust the climate controls and, in many instances, configure vehicle options.

Smartphone Integration for Safer Driving

Ocala Car Audio Offers Upgraded Marine Audio Systems

Upgraded Marine AudioAn upgraded marine audio system from Ocala Car Audio in Marion County is the best way to make your time on the water more enjoyable this summer. Our sales and installations teams have decades of experience in upgrading sound systems on everything from small fishing boats to cabin cruisers to all-out yachts. Let’s have a look at some of the options available to make your marine audio system sound better this season.

Premium Marine Speaker Solutions

Upgraded Marine AudioNo single component in an audio system is more important than your speakers. You could have the best source unit, amazing amplifiers and a cool installation. But, if your speakers aren’t up to the challenge, the performance of the entire system will suffer. We offer marine speakers from JL Audio, Memphis Audio and Kenwood that are specifically designed for outdoor use. They are designed to perform in applications with high-levels of UV exposure. These speakers feature materials that resist chalking, yellowing, fading, and cracking, even after years outdoors.

High-quality marine speakers offer more than longevity; they can handle lots of power to ensure your marine audio system will sound great. Even when you are crashing through the waves or cheering on the skier at the end of the rope at the top of your lungs!

High-Power Marine-Grade Amplifiers

Upgraded Marine AudioMarine amplifiers differ in construction from their car audio brethren in the materials they use inside the chassis. Aluminum extrusions and cover plates, and stainless-steel terminals and hardware ensure that these amplifiers won’t corrode in the high-humidity environment of a boat. The majority of marine amplifiers feature a corrosion-resistant coating on the circuit boards that prevent moisture from corroding the fragile connections.

In terms of power, the marine amplifiers we offer use high-efficiency Class-D designs to maximize the available energy from your batteries when the engine is off. This reduction in electrical load allows you to play your audio system longer and louder than conventional amplifiers.

Upgraded Marine Audio Source Unit Options

If your boat is more than five years old, chances are it didn’t come with a source unit that includes Bluetooth Audio streaming. Adding Bluetooth has been one of the most popular feature requests over the last few years. We offer radios with and without CD mechanisms that include Bluetooth. Most include options for SiriusXM, direct Pandora support and multi-zone volume control. We can add wired and wireless remotes to most of these source units. Many are now compatible with the NMEA 2000 connectivity to Garmin, Lowrance or Simrad multifunction devices.

Expert Marine Stereo Installations

Ocala Car Audio is well-known for our fanaticism when it comes to marine installations. We take the time to ensure every component is mounted securely so they will withstand anything you throw at them. Our wiring practices ensure reliable operation. We use materials that are specifically designed for marine applications. Finally, the way we design upgraded marine audio systems ensures that your music will sound great from anywhere onboard. Most importantly, the system will be easy to use!

Top Reasons To Get A Navigation System From Ocala Car Audio

Navigation SystemHere at Ocala Car Audio, we sell lots of installed navigation systems to our clients all around the greater Ocala area. You may be thinking, “Everyone has a smartphone these days, so why buy an installed navigation system?” That is a great question. Follow along as we explain the benefits of having us install a navigation system in your vehicle.

The Quality Of Mapping Is Better

First and foremost, you use a navigation system to get you from point A to point B. Unfortunately, we all know someone who has used the free navigation app on a phone, only to hear it say “You have arrived at your destination” when they surely are not where you need to be. Maybe that’s why it is free? Our systems use the same grade mapping as vehicle manufacturers and, to be blunt, they are much more accurate.

Save Your Data For Things That Matter

As time goes on, we use our smartphones for more and more things, and that eats up data. Our installed systems don’t eat up your data. Even more important, we all know that many of the wireless providers have dead spots around Ocala. If you don’t have data, you don’t have a navigation system. That never happens with our systems.

A Navigation System Is Safer To Use

Navigation SystemWhen you upgrade to an installed navigation system, it becomes your hub for all the entertainment, smartphone and navigation functions you will use while driving. What this means to you is everything is designed to work together, allowing you to keep your eyes on the road, making you a safer driver. The display is larger, and it mutes your music when it announces a turn, so you feel more confident of where you are going and are less likely to make a mistake while driving.

You Have Options Galore

Navigation SystemAn installed turn-by-turn navigation system is also a technology upgrade for most vehicles on the road. All our systems include Bluetooth for hands-free calling and music streaming, as well as USB ports to control your external media. SiriusXM satellite radio is a popular option, as are backup cameras that can be displayed right on the full-color screen.

For the ultimate in convenience, some of our systems offer Apple’s CarPlay and Google’s Android Auto – the best way to safely harness the power of your smartphone in your ride. Imagine being able to talk, text, set and hear reminders, and listen to your Internet radio stations, all by using your voice.

Come Experience Them For Yourself

We invite you to contact us or stop by Ocala Car Audio – in where else but Ocala – to experience the difference an installed navigation system can make for you. Our team will design and install the best solution for your needs.
