Upgrade factory radio
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After a lot of research and considering the features I needed, this unit made the cut. Since replacing the factory unit, I was looking one that had a CD player, but this one also doubles as a DVD player which is an added bonus and with 2 video outlets for future updates like adding video monitors. The Bluetooth works flawlessly and recognizes up to 2 phones. The remote control has all the features of the unit, so any passenger can manage the unit which helps you keep the eyes on the road. I am very happy with the audio quality and the eq presets are great, although you can customize it as well. Overall it is a great upgrade for any factory unit.

Better then my old factory stereo
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The plus has blue tooth connects to phone with a usb cable. Comes with cable. Mirrors a few apps. Cons does not mirror google maps. Has its own map app thru app. You download to your phone. The map buttons are so tiny and close rot the edge of the screen they are nearly impossible to touch the buttons to search for locations. Kind of useless if you can’t program locations without tiny baby fingers or a stylus. The blue tooth works good to play music wirelessly but if you want to see album cover art you have to plug in your phone and download the recommended app. Guess I should have bought a deck with Apple car play with mirroring if I wanted to be able to access other apps on my phone? Have not tried the dvd or cd player yet. Even though the stereo came with free installation I still had to pay $200 to get the back up camera installed. With was installed pointing up at an angle instead of flat guess it needs a shim or something to make it point down a little? I just assumed when it said apple or android compatible that it would mirror like Apple TV. But it does not it only mirrors like 6 apps in it’s app? I think??? May need a SD Card? I also wasted the harness with the gage display option but I guess I bought the wrong install harness?

New stereo
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good product for the price. I was disappointed that after my inspection and the stereo was installed I was told my back up camera was not compatible and that I would have to buy a whole new camera as well as pay an additional $120 for the install.

Great radio at an affordable price..
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Simple, Easy, and who uses car play anyways? Interface is simple and easy with all the goodies you need. No skipping on my OG CD’s , my Sirius XM works flawless. Added a bass speaker with the amp already attached to my 06 Ram .. I swear this radio powers it all. You can’t beat the price point.. Oh yeah I’ve watched a couple of DVD’s just for nostalgias sake

Replacement for outdated radio
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far it is working great. It will not connect to Pandora from the radio directly, but it works great through bluetooth. The Pioneer app doesn't seem very helpful for connecting Alexa or Pandora. The radio does what it needs to and is a huge step up from the 12 y/o stock radio it replaced.

Great radio, minus a turn knob.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an amazing radio/DVD player. I installed it in my truck because the old Kenwood radio had to get reset every time you started it. Good sound, picture and features. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was I like a turn knob for volume.

Awesome sounds!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This radio is absolutely amazing. It is everything you need in a car radio. It doesn't have every bell and whistle that many other units have, but you get a very big bang for your buck. When you get yours, you'll ask yourself why you didn't get this radio sooner.

Plug n Play
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.for a 2013 Grand Caravan, fit the double DIN perfect. I had a previously installed Pioneer system (thanks Best Buy!), so this system ended up being a plug and play. It took me about 20 minutes for out with the old and in with the new. Very Happy with it, nice bright display, seamless Bluetooth, and DVD works great. I wish it was a bit louder, but Im old, so I might be going deaf :)
