    Great when it works. Unit turns off randomly. Apple car play works intermittently. I’ve changed out the cable for a new Apple cable, same issues. Paid another shop to look at it and they said that the head unit was bad, i contacted Best Buy and they looked at it and changed the module, they said the head unit was fine... still hasn’t worked and Best Buy has stopped returning my calls. This is bs due to having the radio for 1.5 years and out of manufacturers warranty.

    My experience with Best Buy never started on the right foot. I payed to have a part shipped so I could keep an installation date. The day of the install was told that a part wasn’t ordered and need to postpone another week. The tech install the radio and is equipped with back up camera that never worked. I’m scheduled for a third time to have him fix the camera issue. I will never use Best Buy’s again!!

    "I upgraded it for the rear view camera abilities, all the music bluetooth functions and radio worked, but a big disappointment with glitches and not giving the ability to call handsfree to avoid distracted driving. Returning and exchange for the Sony 7 xav ax4000.

    I waited 4 weeks for an appointment to have you install my stereo. I get to my appointment and it was cancelled because they had no techs to install the product. They said it would be another 4 weeks before they could do the install. I returned everything and will not deal with this. I did not even get a phone call or anything. I drove 45 minutes to the appointment and it was cancelled. I wasted 2 hours out of my day

    Bought as an upgrade for my 2021 Jeep Gladiator. Unfortunately, the salesman ignored/did not check to make sure it would fit my Jeep and also did not inform me of other items that would have been required for the install. About the only thing he did right was to make an appointment for the install, which I waited a month for only to find out this unit would not work in my Jeep.

    This unit was a disaster. A common problem is the loss of Bluetooth. I wasnt aware when I purchased it, but it was infuriating. The only way to establish a constant connection was through Android Auto or Apple Play. I returned it and upgraded to a Kenwood.

    I thought I would be able to see videos and pictures with screen but I can't see anything I can only hear the video but no visual. I had to want a month just to get it installed because there was no available installer at the store I purchased it at. Then when my appointment was scheduled the guy tells me I not even in the system.

    Overall this radio was decent. Very laggy, got a CD stuck in. Would not work with my backup camera, sound constantly cutting in and out. Ended up switching out for a completely different one after geek squad refused to do any troubleshooting.

    I spent over $400.00 and it is still in the box. A few days before it was to be installed, I received a call from the store and was told the installation was on hold. That was three weeks ago. I usually love everything I get from Best Buy which is why I went there. This is the first tome they have let me down.
