Customers enjoy the superb sound quality and seamless Apple CarPlay integration of this 6.8" in-dash receiver. Many appreciate its ease of use and the numerous features it offers, including navigation and a CD/DVD player. The backup camera functionality and responsive touchscreen are also frequently praised. However, some users express difficulty with the volume control placement and operation.
I have a 2004 F-150 pickup, which until yesterday had the factory radio....pre-MP3, pre-Bluetooth, pre Android, Pre-Iphone/pod/pad.....it had Am/FM and played CDs. Bought this last week to come out of the dark ages, and learned at checkout the installer had just quit. Tried to call the next nearest Bestbuy (65 miles away), but no answer for 3 days. Woke up yesterday and decided to just throw it in myself. Soldered and shrink-wrapped all the connections to the wiring harness, ran the microphone wire, and voila....21st century tech in my 15 year old truck. Sounds great, Android Auto integrates everything in.....navigation, Bluetooth phone and music, address book, etc. very impressive. Download the whole manual...it comes with the quick start guide but the real one is 108 pages. It even updated the time automatically. Capabilities are almost overwhelming. I was going to spring for the one with onboard GPS, but this is actually better because my phone and Google Maps are always current, and I’ve used the phone for years for navigation...now I can just have the map broadcast onto the dash screen.

Pros: Clear screen, lots of functions, clear screen when playing DVD's Cons: instruction manual lacks android auto setup, no remote. Purchased this unit as an upgrade from a previous Kenwood. I really like the touchscreen. Its clear to see on the brightest days. Also there's multiple functions including dvd player and backup camera capability. I've tried to setup the android auto function on my own since the manual doesn't mention it, but I haven't figured it out as of yet. Not a big deal though. There is no remote which would make it alil easier when driving. Overall, this is a pretty good unit and would recommend it to anyone who's looking to upgrade.

Terence at the Summerlin Las Vegas store was the BEST!!! The install was very clean, there are not any rattles after one month, this is always a concern when someone gets into the dash etc. He also spent the time with me at pickup to walk through all of the new features and answer all of my (there is not such thing as a dumb) questions. If anyone is looking for a new or replacement system in the Las Vegas area for their vehicle, I highly recommend Best Buy's considering Terence and his team for the in house install.
