I bought this radio for my husband for Christmas. He’s very happy with it. Easy to use and works great with Apple car play which was the main reason for getting it. Great radio for the price.

Installed easy in my 2015 wrangler. Shallow mount helps to manage all wiring needed for interfaces. Has in depth adjustment for audio for a more refined tuning.

I got this because it was on sale and I thought for the price it would be okay. And to its credit, it is functional, and i think a lot of people can overlook its downsides if all you're going to use is android auto or carplay. However, the unit is filled with quirks. You can't reorganize the screen, which is very annoying and their setup makes it look very janky. You cant customize the colors or any of that. The biggest issue is the labeling of the touch buttons. They dont light up. The light next to the button does, so all you see at night is a "-" for ALL of them. And if you're driving this can be dangerous. Oh and they put weird gestures for the touch screen that do different things you wouldn't expect, nor the things you'd want. I've tried to get used to this unit, but its truly awful. I give it a 2 for having android auto at such a low price point.

It's been a great radio. I have no trouble with the time staying accurate as some others have complained about. The sound is great, the controls are great, and it looks good. I use the Apple Play most with my iphone for streaming music and using my GPS app. Recommend.

Purchased for a 20 year-old Ford Excursion, so primary interest was features for value, and radio is great value. I needed Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth phone, XM Radio plus regular AM/FM tuner and USB, and radio does all of those well with SXM add-on tuner. Sound is fine, though Excursion is not exactly a sound studio, so less concerned with super HiFi sound... Only disappointment was inability of installer to connect rear camera to the unit. Not sure why...

Works exactly as advertised. Installation took about 30 minutes from start to finish. Set-up was a little more time-consuming as there wasn't any clear instructions. The display isn't as bright as I'd like. When in direct sunlight it is hard to see. The volume up/down buttons are also slow to respond to the touch.
It does everything it is advertised to do. I don't use the Apple Car Play. I mainly use the USB Mirroring function. And it works flawlessly.
I took a star off due to the unresponsive volume control and not very bright display.

It’s an okay radio, it’s very responsive, CarPlay connects instantly, and it gave my car a new sound the only problem with me is that it fit a little to small but other than that it’s a good option

I'm generally happy with this purchase. It's a significant improvement over the previous system (installed by the prior owner of the vehicle). I'm still learning all the functions since it was installed least than a week ago. I've had one problem: the screen pixelated at one point, but it resolved itself after about a minute. I'll be watching to see if it happens again, as it could be dangerous in the navigation mode.

Great stereo to bypass park safety

Installed in my truck. Works great especially when you bypass park brake safety. This stereo is easy to bypass with. All you do is ground the park wire and it's fully unlocked no matter what. Wisconsin with an Old Ford ranger every 2 years the park brakes corrode and seize needless to say I do not use the park brake and never will on a this Manual Trans truck, so I will always bypass the stupid safety for fully unlocked in or out of park. I park in Gear.

For the money it is terrific. So far some bugs in terms of turning off the rearview camera parking guidelines etc.
It is a pain to switch from carplay to radio, takes 2-3 buttons. Volume is also very hard to adjust without looking. But otherwise it has also improved the quality of the stock speakers 100X.

No glitches, stereo is easy to use and apple car play works seamlessly. Best Buy install was quicker than expected and did a great job.
