I got this because it has spotify but the overall UI looks outdated... is there a firmware update or sony suddenly abandoned this model?

Hi Jose, This unit has a firmware update. You can update it via internet or you can also download the update to a USB drive and plug it in this system to update. -Anthony

Jose,If you have the unit connected to the internet you should be able to go into the on-screen menu and have it search for a firmware update.Eric C

Had the same problem then I noticed if you don't push the MODE button, it works fine. Also don't push the MODE button if you want it to play all tracks and then stop.

Check out LEGACY STEREO. I ordered mine from them thru Amazon. I got the latest version which is the 5th generation.

I had same problem. Garbage.. I read that it needs updated. But you have to buy the hardware to update it or know someone who has it. I gave up.

I have a 5s as well. Sony has not updated its app or offered a firmware update for this device since iOS 5. I repaired the phone with the stereo and it's working well now. I'd like to see an update from Sony but the chances of that are incredibly slim since they don't even update their flagship phones to new android releases quickly or ever.

No. You cannot play anything through it. You can only stream the services that come on it. They do occasionally update the software with new services. Recently Spotify was added.

I'm about ready to give up as well. I just got this player, I updated the firmeware, and now I can't even get into the stupid Media player!!!!! I'm almost ready to take this back to best buy and get a different one. Do you have to restart the computer after the update? I'm going to try that and see if that doesn't work.

I also wondered the same. I now have the unit and it DOES NOT display album art. Also, the ipod controls are OK, not great. There doesn't seem to be a search feature, or anyway to advance through long lists (I have 1000 artists, so to get down the list 5 at a time takes a long while). I also haven't found a way to control the ipod through itself.

The new firmware has some bugs that can potentially scramble your music collection. If they happens, you'll might need to format your Zune and rebuild your music library to fix the problem. You might want to wait for a patch for that problem before you install it.

Hey Dave,Would you tell me how to find out which firmware is currently on my player?Thanks.

Not with the current software. It has the hardware capability but probably a contractual thing between Sony and Tidal

Pioneer in my eyes have released this head unit way too soon...a lot of features such as mirrorlink...apple functions etc...are not functioning yet. There is supposed to be a firmware upgrade sometime this year. So depending on what functions your looking for, streaming of bluetooth etc will work...all other functions will come at a later date.

No playlist support, so far, and you can't import them. Will show artist, album, genre. But the sound quality makes up for the poor interface.

Nope. Found that out AFTER I bought the player. :( I put my ipod on it and it says on the screen "This device is not supported by the current something or other...." something like that.

Hi there. I just received the older version of this. I called Amazon and asked if they had the new version with Clear-QAM. They replied that they did, and all I had to do was return the one I received. I'll let you know if I get the newer hardware revision as soon as it shows up. JohnUpdate: I just received an email from Amazon saying they don't have the new version in stock.
