Nice sounding car radio
The car stereo is excellent for my older car (I wanted it in the glove box, a small space) so not to be seen because I wanted to keep the original 1964 radio to make my car look stock from the factory. It sounds great when paired up with good speakers, but I wish the controls were easier to set. (or maybe have a tutorial video on line some where to watch?) and could use a small remote because it seems difficult finding the controls on my cell phone (I have not yet found it to set up,) Otherwise it is great. BTW Jack at the Lake Forest Best Buy put in the stereo and did a great above and beyond the call of duty job on connecting up and putting in the stereo. He does excellent work on all the cars I saw him doing there. I give Jack a 5 star rating for service and friendliness.

Excellent radio for my 2004 Grand Marquis!
My 2004 Grand Marquis badly needed an update in the radio department so I went with this model. Originally (the GM is a double din) I was going to have a larger radio installed but since you have to modify the dash for most of those radios a single din was called for. This fit the bill. I haven't had an opportunity to use the USB or AUX portion but the radio pairs well on Bluetooth. It takes about 35 seconds on average from the time you turn on the radio to the time it pairs with my iPhone 8 plus. The bonus is that it will (for the most part) start playing the last station I played on TuneIn or the last song I used with Amazon Music. Occasionally it might forget to pair on bluetooth music mode but I generally turn it to the iPhone setting and it pairs fine. An odd but only occasional quirk that I can live with. I haven't used Pandora but my son uses Spotify and has had no issues using that. The color rotation as it cycles from one color to another is pretty cool too. Call quality, both transmitting and receiving, is excellent and I have no issues there. I can be perfectly understood even if I'm surrounded by 18 wheelers on a busy city highway as has happened. About the only things I can ding the radio for...and not much...is that the buttons are small and I have to sometimes double check the 'hangup' button on the radio although I can end the call on my phone as well. Hands free works well, though - I've used Siri to dial phone numbers, etc. I wish I could tune a particular station manually but I might not have found that feature. That being said, the HD FM feature is pretty awesome although I mainly use online music. Switching between Sirius, bluetooth music, pandora is a hassle although you can use the iPod key to shortcut your way to the end of the list. All in all its a great radio. Yes, it doesn't have a CD player but I haven't used CD's in years, so...not a loss. I recommend this radio particularly with the free installation BB offers.

Great fit for my 97 BMW M3
Primarily picked this for the red backlight to match the controls on my M3 and the front mounted USB port. Simple to install and sounds great with the factory speakers. Easy to plug in your mobile phone and listen to Sirius XM radio with the phone app.
