Excellent. Meets all my needs, small frame with capability to stack the Alpine ILX amp on the back for added power. Great size, easy buttons, i especially like the e-brake interlock so you can't mess with settings while driving. This is my 2nd one.

Sounds amazing… Much better than the factory audio… I paired with a Alpine large format amp mounted under the passenger seat of my Chevy express, and DS-18 10 inch sub with a homemade ported box and 6 1/2 inch component speakers and tweeters in the door… Sounds amazing!

It’s easy installation, but it would be nice IF customers were advised to double ground the cameras you’re installing, once I double ground the cameras, I love it. Great radio unit.

Great to look at and has fast reaction time. The apple car play is as expected. Only negative is that on the radio it doesnt list the song name, but its not an issue for me since i use spotify.

I appreciate the overall quality and features of both the radio and video screen.
This Alpine touch screen radio:
1) has clear FM station sound without interference from other stations;
2) holds the signal well on weak signals (in a rural area);
3) has quality sound, as expected from Alpine;
4) has a user friendly station programmer;
5) is very easy to use for hands free iPhone calls (I haven’t used the Android version built in);
6) has an excellent video screen for backup (with the rear view camera BBuy installed with it), that is clear, even in bright sun in the car; and,
7) the Alpine has it’s own backup markers built in, and it provides an adjustment of the markers (in case a generic camera installed with it lacks markers or adjustments).
This upgrade to my older SUV gives me reverse video and improved sound in one simple step!

It works. Pretty much zero customization compared to other receivers. All the buttons are touch sensitive, not physical which kind of make it a hazard to operate while your vehicle is moving.
One issue I run into relatively often, is if I plugin my phone in car play, while using my backup cam right after turning on the car, the interface goes blank after leaving the area cam, this is fixed by just hitting the home button and going back to CarPlay. Annoying but not game breaking.

Works well. Powers up in about 10 seconds and is usable immediately after. Its improved the sound of my radio immensely and the EQ customizabilty is wonderful. Its a great price to performance.

Purchased for my wife's Wrangler and had GS install since the stock radio Bluetooth stopped working. Nice head unit for the price. Wasn't crazy about the mic placement but that can easily be adjusted. Be aware if you want to use the steering wheel controls the harness is on the pricy side however, free install made it tolerable. All-in-all great install and service for a better than stock head unit.

The size is nice, I didn't have to cut too much to get it in my 2004 Jeep WJ. The sound is good, lots of control and adjustment. Android Auto works flawlessly. You can't turn off the screen when driving at night. When watching YouTube the sound doesn't jive with the video it's off by one second. I wish I hadn't taken the protective plastic off the screen it was keeping finger prints invisible.

It is a well made product. Install was easy. Like all new units there is a wire that attaches to the parking brake to access settings. Kind of annoying but you can work around it if your savy

I am a long time best buy customer and everything I purchase is from here. Washer and dryers, big screen tv's, computers, radios both at home or for the vehicles, vacuums and everything from playstations to video games, movies and so much more. I have never once been disappointed or had a problem with the Geek squad all problems were taken care of promptly with no hasseles. I would never shop any other store and that includes my brother, I don't want to forget about the BestBuy credit card with amazing payment options and plenty enough time to pay off your purchases. THANK YOU BEST BUY
