    Screen size

    Good unit, wired Android Auto still a problem tho

    I bought this to replace an outdated Sony XAV head unit. I wanted a bigger screen and my vehicle could not fit a bigger screen than I had so I chose this one because of the floating face that sticks out. It fits in a double din opening. I have multiple amps hooked up to it so I don't know how the stock sound quality is, but there is a good amount of adjustments to get it to sound how you'd like. The only cons I can think of are that the screen is definitely not anti-glare. Even with all the adjustments you can make to the screen, if the sun is out there is always a glare. Also, the same issue I had with my previous XAV where the wired connection to Android Auto is almost worthless. It cuts in and out all the time and I've tried about 5 different usb cords that were specific to my phone, so that's not the issue. I thought maybe it could be my phone as well, but I got a new one and the issue persisted. It work well with bluetooth though for Android Auto. I also liked that it was still compatible with my idata link from my previous unit so I didn't need to buy anything extra. It was just plug and play and installation was super simple.

    Like the stereo but wish the website would have been more accurate. they show pic with backup camera and that is not included. Sold separately and another appointment. And have to pay for installation of the camera.
