“Great Service, great selection”

Michael G.
9/29/23

I've ordered from Crutchfield for years. My recent purchase was exactly what I expected. Great service, great warranty, zero issues. Save yourself the trouble of ordering from places that have zero after purchase customer care...Sonic... If you want a worry free transaction order from Crutchfield.

“Vehicle fit info is wrong and tech support is useless”

matt s.
9/28/24

Bought a stereo for my run of the mill 2014 caravan. Their instructions said no cutting of the dash required. Well, after wiring I up I find I does not fit in the opening. The radio is too big so without hacking the outer dash, it's not going to fit. I decided to call and find out I this was normal and all I got was attitude. Tech told me I didn't read the instructions or fit info. When I proved him wrong on both counts, he then said I must have some special model. No apologies, no solutions, he just tried to blame me. And then hung up. I'm sending this junk back. If I can't can't get accurate fit info or tech support I might as well buy it on Amazon for less money.

The Sony reciever was exactly what I needed and performs flawlessly. I needed a modestly priced reciever for a spare av system and this fit the bill.

I liked how the Crutchfield supplies (emailed) instructions were easy to follow and included how everything supplied was to be connected, taking the guess work out. I installed a Sony AX5000 receiver using a Metra 95-6511 Dash Kit, PAC RP4-CH11 Wiring Interface, Metra 40-EU10 Antenna Adapter, and a Metra AX-USB-MINIB USB Port Cable, which were all recommended for installation. Instructions were straight forward and easy to follow. There were no instructions for installing the AX-USB_Minib USP Port Cable so I had to find a YouTube video to watch. Turns out it gets installed from the mini USB coming out of the old UConnect module under the Heater/AC controls. I had to update the firmware on the receiver, install Android Audio app on my phone and everything worked.

Customer service aimed to please - not only do they offer superior product services but their cutsomer service is purly top notch! I do believe the vast majority of their products have lifetime tech support. They have a huge selection of audio visual products for in home or in your car. They have from what i have experienced the most product knowledgable staff i have ever encountered and if they don't know im sure they could tell you who does, but i find that unlikey.
Their digital camcorder and digital camera selection is decent but as for diversity in manufacturers selection is kinda sparse. Their camera accesories like tripods, flashes are available. But personally i feel a site dedicated to photography equipment is bound to have a better selectoin of the latter.
They have a fair return/exchange policy. Very fair
I have purchased car audio and home theater products with extreme confidance from them, i have never been disapointed or even slightly unsatified by these guys and readily recommend them to all my friends.

I decided to upgrade my 2001 Chevy Tahoe with modern technology. I installed a touch screen receiver paired with satellite radio and a back up camera. When I ran into trouble connecting wires to my reverse trigger and my parking break. Crutchfield support was able to walk me through and help me find the correct wires to complete my install. I do have some experience installing car stereos. I will say the instructions/wiring guide made sense to me since I've had prior installation experience. However, if you've never installed a car stereo you might have an issue with the step by step instructions since they are basic. You might want to reference some YouTube videos prior to beginning just to get your feet wet. Ultimately I am very happy with my purchase and install.
FYI, for my 2001 Chevy Tahoe I purchased an Alpine iLX-W650 (fits easy without modification due to slim size). Paired with a SiriusXM SXV300V1 Tuner and a Boyo VTL 17ir. I also used the Metra 70-1858 receiver wiring harness and the Metra DP-3002B Dash Kit. (Will make your life much easier).
