    Great features, perfect fit for what I was looking for, easy accessibility! Love the fact that it is touch screen but also has actual buttons to press as well!

    I absolutely love the capabilities of this head unit. Cd, dvd, radio, bluetooth, microphone, usb and even a remote control. I coupled it with Pioneers backup camera and I have no complaints.

    Upgraded car receiver to this. Love how it automatically finds the strongest stations to preset. Added a back up camera and it is crystal clear. Great for Bluetooth. Best buy did install.

    I picked this unit out online and so far I like the features but there are some things I would've like to see in this price range. Overall I like it so far. The buttons are little small on the left side of the unit so If I had to do it all over again, I probably would have chosen a unit with a volume knob but on the flip side, I can use the controls on my steering wheel to turn the volume up and down and also select what options I'm going to use (like bluetooth and Aux, etc..). You also have to use an app to play youtube videos which to me is to much of a hassle and would've liked to see an easier option to do this. Another minor complaint is It only plays regular DVD's and for this kind of money why don't they offer a BD option? anyways, like I said... Overall the unit is ok for the money. I would probably pick another unit in the future but for what it is, its not bad. It does what it says and works with no issues.

    I added a back up camera so I really classed up my radio when the original died. I needed a CD player and this was one of the only reasonbly priced ones. The button on teh side are a little small to always hit the correct one when driving, which is why they give you a remote!

    Great product for the price. Although this does not have Apple Play/ Android Auto, after using those features, I really do not like them. This product comes at a fraction of the cost of an Android Auto product but I find it to be equally good if not better. Only complaint is that I with volume control was a knob.

    Beautiful head unit, I had Geek Squad install it in my 07 Grand Cherokee. It fits perfectly, and looks amazing! The sound quality is fantastic, goes great with my Boston speakers (which were great alone but paired with this OMG) The customization you can with the screen and the sound is great. Zero distortion, fuzz or anything! Also great for making calls! Completely clear and I finally don’t sound muffled or underwater to whoever I’m speaking too. It also comes with steering wheel control (already installed into my Jeep) so it works flawlessly. Overall this unit is fantastic and I have ZERO complaints. Especially for the price! You can also get a back up camera installed with it but I didn’t need it. I haven’t tested the DVD yet, but I will. It does not connect to Apple CarPlay and I’m ok with that, I just wanted Bluetooth.

    Great in-dash radio for the money. Ease of use is excellent. And sounds great with factory speakers that are Bose. I would recommend this if you are not looking to spend an enormous amount of money.

    Good not great

    Overall decent product. Connecting your phone is super easy. Price is about average for this style unit. I like that you can choose the color you want for your display. Adds a good amount of volume and bass to your speakers so sound quality is pretty great. That's it for the pros. Couple of issues. Buttons are pretty flush to the edge of the unit next to a lip so accessing them can be tricky. Takes a long time to load up every time you start the car. Biggest con is there is a delay of about 1.5-2 seconds with the Bluetooth connection. Meaning if you are streaming audio and for example hit pause or skip it takes a while for that to translate over to the audio. What's worse is the delay is also present when streaming videos on your phone so netflix or youtube video and sound is not synced up. Everything happens on your screen before you hear the sound that should go with it. The audio delay alone makes me not want the unit anymore

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
