    Overall, it's okay; it gets the job done. Would I buy it again? No. Take my advice make sure when you buy your next car make sure it has one of the new setups with CarPlay. It's worth spending a few extra

    Returned the Sony head unit in exchange for this and couldn’t be more satisfied. The “capacitive touch” screen is just as responsive as my phone’s, the screen gets bright enough to be useful in direct sunlight, and the wireless Apple CarPlay makes a huge difference over having to plug in. This is a great head unit!

    Works pretty great, enough adjustability for audio settings, pretty responsive, gets bright enough during the day, and dim enough when driving at night. Would rate this a 4.5 as it does take a while for Android auto to connect.
