    I recently upgraded my 2013 Toyota Prius with this head unit, and I couldn't be happier. It looks great and fits the dashboard so well that it feels factory-installed. The Best Buy team was incredibly helpful. They recommended the perfect option for my car and honestly explained where it made sense to spend more money and where it didn't. The installation process was smooth, professional, and completed in about an hour. Android Auto works flawlessly. My phone connects instantly every time, the display is clear, the microphone quality is excellent, and everything runs fast and reliably. Overall, I'm very impressed with both the product and the installation service. Thank you to the Best Buy team for the great advice, professional work, and excellent customer service. Highly recommended!

    With gas price high right now, I had to park my F-150 so that means driving my 2012 Mazda 5 more. Since it’s just a beater, there isn’t much tech. So I had to upgrade the radio so I can add Bluetooth hands free. While I was at it, this unit with wireless CarPlay/android auto was on sale so I decided to splurge. Best Buy install was $99 so went ahead and let them install the unit. Works seamlessly as it connects to CarPlay wirelessly every time! Regretted not getting the steering wheel control upgrade, so I went back and got that installed as well. Definitely would recommend this wireless CarPlay/android auto head unit to anyone that has an old vehicle.

    Bought this for my granddaughter and she absolutely loves it. The young man who helped us I think his name was Brett was the kindest and most helpful person. He helped us with everything including installing this. He also was extremely honest and gave us a prompt refund on something that wasn’t needed during installation. My son has since gone back to the same store and purchased one for himself.

    Great Upgrade with Just Minor Lag

    This stereo is a huge upgrade from stock. The screen is clear, the sound gets plenty loud when paired with good speakers, and CarPlay works well with my iPhone. Setup was simple and the interface is easy to use. The only drawback is a slight lag when switching apps or menus, but it’s nothing that makes it unusable. For the price, the value and performance are excellent. Definitely recommend if you’re looking to modernize your car’s system.

    Product review is great however the install with BestBuy was a complete floop. The sales team told me what I needed to get and then when we did the install we did not have everything, and they wanted us to purchase more adapters and then come back for another full install price.

      Some installations do require special interface adapters. I would expect they would know ahead of time. If needed, contact Best Buy at 888-237-8289. They will try to assist you with the problem. PUSATechAnswers

    Nice unit, lasted 8 months and a headache warranty

    Decent stereo but I only bought this to replace a malfunctioning unit, the same unit, that I had installed 8 months prior. This unit will likely be returned because even with the best Total Tech package Best Buy offers they try to send the malfunctioning unit out for repair, costing at least two appointments at the stereo installation bay and one open box return, that's IF they managed to fix the original purchase made 8 months prior. If not there will be another installation appointment taking up even more of my work hours and I'm contemplating presenting them with an invoice for the hours of work I'll have missed by the time this transaction is completed. I am not recommending this item due to short life span of 8 months and horrible replacement process through Best Buy Total Tech.

    Very nice upgrade to my Ford Taurus X. The wireless android works flawlessly. Had the unit hooked up to my steering wheel controls and it works as it should. Voice commands work good as well as phone calls. Had no issues with sun glare so far. I think that the screen is perfect. So far, no complaints.

    Bought this to upgrade my display-less car, and it does feel a lot nicer. Better connection and functionality with Blu Tooth and USB connections. But sometimes it does randomly reset, and more often than that sometimes a thick red slightly-diagonal bar of distortion will cross the screen from left to right. It does not seem to cause any problems but is distracting.
