JVC - 10.1" Full HD Screen - Android Auto/Apple® CarPlay™ - Universal Double Din Fit Digital Media Receiver - Black

Incredible unit. I first installed the Jensen Car1000 and started having issues with it freezing up and crashing constantly, so I returned it and decided to splurge on this JVC instead. There were features missing on the Jensen that I had in my old vehicle that I missed. Top among them were wireless android auto (vs wired), hd radio, satellite radio, and an hdmi input. This JVC also has a much higher resolution screen. I love the fact that the screen has some tilt adjustment available after installation. Android auto wireless works great, though setting it up on the unit wasn't as intuitive as other units i've tried. Just mess with it a bit and you'll figure it out. While I prefer a volume knob, (like this unit's sister unit under the Kenwood brand) I do appreciate the large volume up and down buttons. My previous pioneer had tiny volume buttons. Also, I was able to retain my steering wheel controls using only a PAC adapter. That was a much cheaper optoin to retain steering wheel controls vs the idatalink maestro setup that would have cost an extra 250 dollars. I don't get all the fancy vehicle info, but all I wanted to was steering wheel controls. So look in to that cheaper option if you're curious. May not work on newer vehicles though (I drive a 2010 F250 Lariat). I did have an issue with the hdmi input not working at first, while trying to use a 4k hdmi cable. I swapped out that cable for an older hdmi cable, not 4k, and now it works. So if you're having that issue, try and older hdmi cable. They're supposed to be completely backwards compatible, but obviously not with this unit. Also, don't forget to add the little black trim piece or the screen won't turn on! All in all, this thing is responsive, has the best screen available right now in car stereos, and has all the features you could ever want. I absolutely love it despite the pretty ridiculous cost.

We've had the installed unit for a few weeks in our 2019 Subaru Outback. It is as promised, easy to use, clear graphics, and connects seamlessly to our iPhones. Some things to be prepared for. I recommend getting a parts list from Best Buy installation department. I ended up needing to buy some things through Best Buy and then some things through Amazon in order to find them in stock. The exact part numbers were necessary in order to get the right part. It is not enough to know the title of what it is. Also, the DDIN comes in different colors (with different part numbers), so make sure you get the right one for your car type. We had to send one back and get the right color. The finished product is not flush with the Subaru Outback. I don't know if it is flush with any car. You will see how it sits "floating" above the other parts of the dash. It is slightly adjustable from the floating position and allows you to adjust it for reflection or to see the other parts of your dash. It was true for our car that the component pieces behind the unit were too large to fit completely in the space. Therefore, it took up some of the compartment space below the unit. This made the compartment mostly not usable because the door stays closed. Also, Best Buy had to install a separate USB port that dangles in the passenger foot area (not intrusive), because the in-dash USB was rendered unusable with the way the installation needed to go. There is also a tethered/dangling mic up by the driver side visor and mirror. Know that the back-up camera will not have the lines that comes with the factory installed camera. That said, the image is clear. The additional parts were around $400. The installation was not additional because we bought it through Best Buy. The installation took about 3.5 hours. I would not recommend trying to install on your own, unless you really do have tools and a talent for electronics. There is a lot to know to make sure that the steering controls, camera controls, back and front connections are all installed correctly.

Best buy open box did not disappoint. Great buy. Great head unit. Keep in mind you need a datalink maestro rr2 and harnesses from crutchfield. They ran me 360$ for the whole installation kit. It was worth the extra features like tire pressure, rpm, 0-60, ft needed to stop etc, also reads codes, and many more. Great sound improvement over the factory head unit.
