  • Great value for a nice aftermarket wireless CarPlay stereo
Size: 8” Wireless Single Din Stereo
I've had it installed a week, and am really pleased with this stereo. Seamless wireless CarPlay integration, decent sound, a really nice 8 inch screen, and a volume knob. All for just over $200! Install was relatively easy - just get the right harnesses, connect the right wires, and you are good to go. You have to pay attention, but it is not that complicated or difficult. I would definitely recommend this. ... show more

  • Great Unit!
Size: 10" Single Din Stereo + Backup Camera
This is a nice unit. It has everything you need to bring your vehicle up to date. So far only wired Android auto works and it sounds great. The only complaint I have is that if you are just using Bluetooth, it sounds crackly (Plugging in via USB C for Android auto fixes that) the screen only tilts left to right, but slides up and down. I'm a huge fan of the physical buttons and volume knob which seems to be non existent these days. Gps works great, calling in/out is great. Screen resolution isn't great (Maybe 480p 😂) but it gets the job done. Honestly if you are looking for a great solid unit without spending $1000 plus for a 10" stereo this is it. I don't notice really any difference between this and a $1400 one I tried out at best buy. ... show more

  • Yessssss!
Size: 9" Wireless Single Din Stereo
I've never purchased an dual aftermarket stereo before and boy was I pleased by the end results. The power and clarity thru the factory ford taurus speakers was very impressive. Setup and use is intuitive. And the screen is "almost" to big making it wonderful to navigate and glance at for Info while driving. The wireless Apple carplay and Android auto works seamlessly. The only complaints I have is the slow response of the screen when navigating the menus. I'm not saying it is unusable by any means. By there is a definite lag and you do notice it during the the boot sequence and and trying the load the apple car play or android. For me the sound quality way outweighs the lag and slow loading time. ... show more

  • Hard to beat for the money
Size: 10" Single Din Stereo + Backup Camera
I bought this to replace the $70 generic floating head unit I bought last year, which I really only did to see if I could teach myself to wire in a modern head unit and reverse camera to a 30 year-old car. I could, and that unit worked fine for a few months, but it increasingly struggled to recognize when my phone was plugged in, the display was bad, etc. You get what you pay for. This unit is WAY better. But still, you get what you pay for, so the sound quality may not be enough for true audiophiles. But it's more than good enough for me. The screen is sharp and clear, I've seen other reviews suggesting lag but mine has none - my big test is scrolling rapidly through songs in Apple Music. This unit has no problem doing that & will play whichever song you finally stop on, while the generic unit didn't have the processing power to keep up. My only caution is that a 10 inch screen is BIG. Make sure it fits your car. Mine fits the dash just fine, and doesn't block the vents, BUT I had to make a small modification so that I could use my parking brake normally. Otherwise it's really great, with good sound quality, a good screen, and an actual volume knob, which you want - trust me. My last one didn't & forced me to press the screen a dozen times to crank the volume up or down. This really modernizes an older car. One of the best purchases I've ever made. ... show more

  • Good
Size: 9" Wireless Single Din Stereo
Works great in an older car, it's slow compared to a car with factory android auto. That being said it sounds good and does all of the things newer head units do. The wireless connection works well.

  • DO NOT buy this radio.
This thing is worthless. Will not pick up any radio stations. I have used 3 different antennas, no luck. Rattles and vibrates like crazy, its driving me out of my mind. Refused to link to my phone automatically, I need to do it every time I get in the car. The interface is childish. Not a good product. Unfortunately, I bought it months before installing it, so now I cant return it. I wasted $225. DO NOT buy it. Move on. ... show more

  • Lots of small issues
Size: 10" Single Din Stereo + Backup Camera
This unit provides decent value, but there were so many small annoying issues, that I replaced it with another unit. Display: The display is not glass, it's a plastic that bends slightly when pressing giving a cheap feel (hollow tapping sound) and worse glare than other units. The actual lcd is set back behind the touchscreen a bit which is a slight annoyance, when looking at the display from an angle, the edges of the screen are cut off because of this. The screen is not black, it's a dark grey, so the contrast is not good. The aspect ratio is a bit off, so everything looks a bit stretched. Also, the entire android auto experience is very zoomed in, meaning that everything is very crowded on screen, (android auto probably sees the screen as lower resolution for some reason). Ports: The USB port for android auto, as well as the aux input are on the back of the unit. This means that you will have to run wires under your dash or drill a hole in your dash which is not clean. Other units have these connection point at the front. It's worth noting there is a USB on the front, but it does not support android auto (I assume the same for carplay) UI: The UI is VERY laggy, this is only a problem in the system UI, not an issue in android auto. It is worth noting that the UI is very good looking compare to other units in this price point. Mic: It does not seem that the unit has a built in mic, you must use a wired mic (provided) which is not a clean look at all. Installation: Hopefully you only have to do this once, but attaching the display to the unit is very awkward. There's not a lot of room for your hands to attach the harness. And you really need a third hand to support the display while screwing it into the unit. In the end I ended up returning this, but if these thing don't bother you, it's otherwise a good value. Connects pretty quickly to android auto, good looking UI, easy to understand menu (For the most part), well packaged well-written instructions with clear diagrams. The same cannot be said for alot of other units in this price bracket. ... show more
