    Wireless AndoidAuto/carplay is horrible

    Other than the wireless carplay, android auto feature being the absolute worst with constant skips, the wire feature of this is much better.

    Excellent user interface with clear powerful sound. Looks factory installed in dash. Front and rear camera interface is a game changer for my older SUV.

    Works Great

    Works great and the wireless functionality is great. Works with multiple remotes including the RC-406. I bought this radio for my dad as a Father’s Day gift last year after he noticed mine in my Camaro restomod.
