Customers are pleased with the DMX8709S receiver's sound quality, seamless Apple CarPlay integration, and ease of use. Many appreciate its modern connectivity, responsive touchscreen, and comprehensive features.

    I personally have had issues. I don't like not have a volume knob. But to.make it worse the put the A.I. Mic (siri/ok google/ bixiby). Right above the volume button so if you hit it alot and there is no way to disable it on the HU. Also I have an extremely bad grounding issue that I've tried every single way to,get rid of it besides accepting the fact that it's a. Defective HU

    One of the best head units i have installed. So many different fucntions and abilities. And having the access to add front and back cameras is really nice.

    I paid close to $1,000 for a car stereo with free installation, my fan, heated seats, defrost selection didn’t work and several speakers weren’t hooked up. Be careful and check everything prior to departure from the installation bay. Then I noticed a roll of electrical tape underneath my pedals rolling around. Poor at best. Certainly not Best Buy, try Worst Buy. Yes please reach out to me Best Buy and my second install of this stereo in my car can be verified as I took it to another Best Buy and I also returned the tape that was left behind.

    I'm sure this is a fine unit for someone with better eyesight than I have. I found it difficult to gaze at while I was driving. I need to be able to glance not to gaze.

    In the aunlight thr screen cannot even be seen. The camera during reverse with the sun behind the car is conpletely washed out (this us unsafe). This unit should be recalled and never shoukd have been sold. Perhaps it works fine in some vehicles, but in a jetta its a non-starter.

    Navigation is easy and intuitive. Screen is not FHD so pixelation is noticable and screen glares a lot. Really hard to see anything

    Works really well but i’m not a fan at all of the screen brightness. We are in 2024 where almost any tablet you buy has an OLED display with amazing brightness and quality but it seems that the head unit manufacturers missed that memo. For the price they charge (similar and more than most state of the art tablets) it should he somewhat on par.
