Customers express satisfaction with the Apple CarPlay integration, sound quality, and ease of use of this 6.2" in-dash digital media receiver. Many also appreciate the inclusion of a volume knob and the functionality of the touchscreen. Positive feedback was also given for the backup camera and the fit of the unit. A common complaint, however, concerned the limited placement of USB ports.

Absolutely in love with the stereo!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This stereo is absolutely awesome! The touchscreen is fast and very responsive. It’s wonderful to have all of my iPhone options right there at my fingertips without having to mess with the actual phone. It’s sound output is wonderful, especially considering we got a new kicker speakers. My only complaint is the microphone. Despite having it installed right by the drivers head, it still wouldn’t pick up my voice. The only way I could get Siri to work is through my iPhone and not the stereo. It’s possible it could be an issue with the microphone itself, or perhaps it came loose during installation. I’d have to reinstall it to know for sure. Overall however, I’m extremely satisfied and would definitely buy this again.

I would recommend this to a friend Perfect way to add android auto
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My husband's car had a stock radio in it. His mom and I wanted to get him a receiver that put in android auto for a safer way to stream podcasts, music and view Google maps. This looks great and performs great, just like what I have in my newer car, except his is wireless and connects automatically via Bluetooth. Had it installed by Best Buy as well and the process was smooth and easy.
