Goood choice for HD radio
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice brightness on screen. Preamps work good. I am using an amp so cant comment on power. Does have a lag using bluetooth and changing songs on spotify or when playing a videos audio through the receiver. I think it is because the radio is using AI to fill in the compressed audio.

Awesome radio
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I originally had the pioneer nex 4100 and for some reason my window gasket was leaking and water dripped on the radio and caused it to go out. i replaced with this one and the audio sounds 100% better i was shocked i used my nav module on this one and am happy all over again.

Does not have CarPlay
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We thought we were purchasing and installing an in dash bluetooth system with Car play. We were wrong even though we thought we did the full research. We are sure the system is fine, but needed a unit with CarPlay.

Works Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Much better head unit than the kenwood it replaced. All functions works as they are supposed to, the screen is bright enough to be seen on sunny days as well. Very happy with this radio..

great stereo
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.over all its a great stereo. the Bluetooth option has some improving that could be done. like when I check my phone it automatically goes to that option. an av or usb port in unit would be cool too. minor inconveniences for all the other perks of this radio

Great radio at a good cost
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enjoy it except you have to park and engage your emergency brake to play videos, which sucks. I wanted the family to watch it on trips. If I have to park and watch it I might as well buy portable DVD player. Luckily there is a way around this on YouTube.

Disappointing
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I got to Best Buy to have installation guy said ok it be ready about 5 hours ( I was told 1 1/2 when I purchased then 30 min later he calls tell me there is something wrong with it and they didn’t have any more in the store I said well can I get something else? Yea I guess so ... so finally found someone ( who honestly I think I knew more than him ) 2 hours later he’s done I go to get it and he’s like umm can u back the car out? I was like ok didn’t show me anything or explain anything to me .. I’m 62 years old and expected him to show me just like my installation paper said it would ... very dissatisfied and disappointed in your staff ..

System reflects the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 2 is because of the price. If you are low on a budget, then you can consider this unit, otherwise just go with a better unit (I recommend Kenwood - 6.8" - Android Auto/Apple CarPlay™ with Built-in Navigation) Pros - cheap Cons - very poor touch screen sensitivity, when using USB to listen to the music, it will auto switch to my phones bluetooth and stop the music even tho there wasn't a call coming in, the microphone is not good at all.

Overall a very good stereo
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.All of the different settings are a bit overwhelming. I have it setup well enough that it does a really good job. I found a download version of a users manual that is about 150 pages. I am still learning what I can get this unit to do.

Good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only thing that I don’t like about it, it’s that if it’s installed in the front you can’t play dvd for your kids, if I would knew that I would have bought the cheaper version.

Its ok..could definitely be better
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Looking for something to replace the current standard radio with bluetooth phone capabilities... nice radio, all phone functions dont work with Samsung.. not hands free at all. Speaker dial, text message notifications and screen share doesnt work. The app suggested doesnt help. I think if you have an apple phone you will be able to utilize more features... not a fan of apple so not the best choice for me... i even told the salesman what I wanted and this was his suggestion, it is android compatible.

Low cost deck
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I do like my deck, although I've had a few issues with the bluetooth not staying connected. I also was told it would bluetooth what was on your phone to the deck, though it does not - we cannot get video to work much to my childrens dismay

Love this unit
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installed this stereo in a 2001 Toyota Avalon and it made a great difference for playing dvds, cds, the radio or iPhone. Takes a little work to install but it is worth it.
