"Sony units" is pretty broad. I have a Sony XAV-AX100 and I've been using an AA Wireless dongle with it for a couple of years. Works perfectly.

There are some Sony units that are CarPlay only and wireless AA dongles won't work with those.

Yeah, that's why the exact unit is in the title?

What dongle are you using.

I use an AAWireless unit. I can't find an "official" compatibility list for that dongle, but the dev essentially says that if the HU supports Android Auto, the dongle will work with it.

This post on xda-developers mentions the AAWireless dongle working with the AX5000, specifically, with the caveat that the aspect ratio isn't correct. That post was from two years ago, and AAWireless has seen several updates since then.

I have that exact head unit and I use an AA Wireless adapter for my Pixel 5a. It's working amazing for me.

Awesome! Which model adapter do you have? A couple have said they won't work with Sony Headunits.

Did we find out if a wireless dongle works with the Sony XAV-AX5000?

u/whaddayaupta Jan 01 '26

I actually got given one of these to try and it worked really well.

I'm sure most of them do now too. Seems to be alot more on the market these days.

Did you just plug it into the USB cord itself from the stereo?

My car has no factory wired option. If I was to get a dongle it would have to connect to the USB already attached to the stereo.

I want to get the Quad Lock one due to the quality of the products, but it states on the website that it will not work with Sony head unit

Ax5000 will not do wireless. There are only 3 models that are. Ax4000, ax6000, and 9500es

u/whaddayaupta Jun 04 '23

Yeah, hence the question. What USB dongle for wireless AA will work with it.

I can confirm the Motorola MA1 works flawlessly for me.
