Q: QuestionIs this touch screen has back up camera(3 answers)
A: AnswerIt does not come with a camera, you will have to purchase that separately. But once installed, it works great with any camera brand you buy.Answered by Anonymous
Q: QuestionIs this compatible with steering wheel controls for a 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT(2 answers)
A: AnswerYou will need quite a few things to get the install to correctly work for your specific vehicle to have all features and even more. This will go for any receiver you install in your vehicle, it will require the following equipment that will enable steering function control: 1. Maestro iDatalink ADS-MRR Steering Wheel Control Module (comes with a unit and wiring that hooks up with the receiver and Maestro unit and the vehicle wiring for steering wheel controls.) *Wire splicing required. 2. iDatalink HRN-RR-HK1 Factory Integration Adapter (comes with additional wiring that hooks up with the receiver and Maestro unit and the vehicle wiring for steering wheel controls). *Wire splicing required. 3. iDatalink uHK1 USB Adapter for USB and Aux ports integration. (Comes with wiring that is plug and play and connects to connectors from the above listed wirings.) *No splicing required for this one. 4. Metra 95-7357HG Dash Kit (Last but not least, you will definitely want a trim kit to make it look like a clean install and will look like factory install). It covers all gaps and is factory fit. *I do not recommend this install by yourself but have a professional install this from Best Buy.Answered by Anonymous

Good product but terrible experience
Well product is ok , there is a bit of lag but it’s tolerable , I had this installed in my 2010 Toyota Tacoma . Best Buy did the install , which was pretty smooth , took the tech about 2 hrs , but here’s my issue with Best Buy . I ordered everything through a video call with an expert in car electronics . He was great , he recommended which screen I should get after I told him what I was trying to do . So I landed on this product ( which is pretty good in my opinion ) because it checked all my boxes ( connect wirelessly , added maestro to it to get vehicle data displayed on screen , which is awesome , and just a tiny bit of lag but doesn’t really bother me , also had a pre existing backup camera that I wanted hooked up to this product which the tech did . But here’s my issue with Best Buy , they scheduled my appt for install - so I show up when I was suppose to and the tech puts my info into the computer and asked if I picked up all the required products . I told him no I figured you can just grab them , so he told me to have a seat and he will go up front to grab the parts and come back and get started , well he came back and said I have bad news one of your parts didn’t show up ( and it was scheduled to be there the same day as my appt ) . So I said that really stinks , where is it then . So he looked in the system and couldn’t track where it was , he had to get a manager . The manager came in and found my shipment in the system and says it’s coming by store freight and it got rescheduled to be delivered on Monday . So I am pretty upset since I just wasted almost an hour of my time and gas to come to this appt for install , which I was suppose to have completed that day . This was on a Saturday - so I asked when’s the next available appt - he said wed - I saiid alright let’s book it I guess . So the piece that didn’t show up on time was the trim piece for my model truck , and you cannot complete the install without it . I was figuring okay I just spent almost 800 dollars Best Buy will give me some kind of a credit or compensation for ruining my Saturday and making me upset at no fault of my own . I was never notified of a delay in shipment until I had already left bestbuy …. So you think Best Buy would have giving me some form of compensation since it was there fault but there was no mention of it and they just kind of blew me off - I thought about just cancelling the whole order - since I am a loyal Best Buy customer and I have a store credit card with them , but they didn’t give me anything no gift certificate, no credit for their mistake , no nothing . So Best Buy corporate or if any Best Buy PR person sees this review , and wants to make it right that would be very much appreciated ….

Price is good. Speep is not.
I like this head unit, but it's very laggy with it. Android, auto or carplay. I wouldn't really recommend this. It also takes a while to load and play music. Air conditioner controls are Berry slow.

Love item BUT hidden fees are ridiculous
Just purchased , love it, even has speakers s I sounding better. EQ u can adjust sound to liking. Above my expectations. Would give 5☆ but had to purchase a device to add Sirius XM that i previously had and pay to get installed by Best Buy and then pay Sirius to transfer it. Make it make sense but sounds easier while purchasing item. Look to spend additional 3-4 hundred.
