  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Great Bluetooth, clear sound, handy USB

    Very nice 1-DIN unit. Bluetooth paired fast and stays stable for calls and music. The 1.5A USB port charges my phone well and plays from a flash drive. Sound is clear with good EQ, installation was easy because it’s compact, and the variable lighting lets it match the dash.
