Crisp screen and responsive
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Breathe new life into your car or just get a better deck for what you already have. The touchscreen is responsive, and the screen quality is crisp. More importantly it has a physical volume knob which comes in really handy for when you need to keep your eyes on the road.

Sony head unit

Good deck.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: - single knob makes it easy to adjust volume while keeping eyes on the road - Good sized screen Cons: - Radio automatically scans for stations every time it is turned on. (There may be a way to turn this off, but I haven’t looked into it yet.) Overall, very happy.

TWO Year Review!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this headunit for my 2014 Dodge Dart almost two years ago after my factory radio stopped working entirely. It was been absolutely perfect the whole time and I’ve had zero issues. Just as responsive as the day installed (done wonderfully by my local Geek Squad). Thank you Agent Omar!

Extremely high quality for cost
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really can’t find anything bad to say about this product. It installed easy, boots quickly, switches between modes well, supports Car Play flawlessly, and is visible under every light condition. If you need basic audio with seamless integration with your iPhone this is your radio.

Top quality, does-it-all head unit at fair price!

It can multitask better than cinderella and is still twice as fast as my phone switching between apps or tasks. If you are looking for an easy-to-use radio with excellent sound quality that integrates seamlessly with your phone so that you can drive safely and with less distractions, then this is the one for you!

It'll Do...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This radio is so-so. I wish I had gotten a larger screen that was more vivid. The resolution is pretty dull, but it still plays my music and connects quickly. The volume knob & price is honestly what persuaded me to get it. I mean heck it's better than the basic CD player I had at first, but there are definitely better options available!

Fits 2017 Nissan Quest Van
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its amazing! We love that it was able to be connected to the factory installed back up camera our van had already. We actually like the knob for the volume and the usb. The sceen is non-glare. Its elevated our trips to easier navigation with apple play. Great price point too! Beast buy geek squad Jacksonville Florida at the Avenues installed ours. Thank you!

Better Instructions
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had trouble getting some of the functions to work. I am not real literate in technology and the instructions could have been plainer and more in detail, but I really like the radio.

Works great.
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for the CarPlay feature. It’s works great and updates along with my phone. It’s easy to use and the navigation screen is awesome. The only issue I have with it is because I do not have a back up camera, if I put it my truck in reverse before it completely boots up I get and error message and I can’t use the radio until I turn my truck off and back on again.
