Why will it never remember my login? ### 1/5 — Really laggy *2026-08-21, version 7.6.0* Pls fix ### 1/5 — not useful. *2026-08-18, version 7.6.0* my radio head unit used to display song names from youtube music. then one day it just stopped. now it just says “bta (and some random song time counter that sometimes is hours long)” downloaded this app thinkimg maybe i might be able to enable some hidden setting. straight downgrade. not only was there no hidden settings to enable to get song titles on screen again but now the screen just flashes “YOUTUBE MUSI” on screen which is super annoying while driving. sony fell off a cliff. used to only ever buy sony head units, i’ve gone through every new model of the same line. MEX-N5100BT, MEX-N5200BT, and now MEX-N5300BT and there is a severe falloff in quality from 5200 to 5300. i no longer have an excuse to buy ANY sony products at this point. ### 1/5 — Pairing *2026-08-18, version 7.6.0* The worst experience with pairing two speakers they always dropping out and have to go through a complex process to try to pair ### 1/5 — Borderline unusable *2026-08-16, version 7.6.0* Getting multiple speakers to sync often results in errors, playback loop de-syncs. ### 1/5 — Connection issues *2026-08-09, version 7.6.0* Always takes forever to connect my phone to car radio. Struggles to find phone and just generally a nightmare ### 1/5 — سماعه *2026-07-14, version 7.6.0* حذفت إسم السماعه ومو راضيه ترجع ### 1/5 — Mala conexión *2026-07-12, version 7.6.0* Problema de conexión con iPhone ### 1/5 — garbage *2026-07-11, version 7.6.0* keeps asking me to update and have to keep setting up again ### 1/5 — Surprised *2026-07-09, version 7.6.0* What happened to my music?
