Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was looking for something good enough to upgrade the OEM car stereo of a teenager 2002 honda. Is simple, have apple car play, backup camera input, BT and hands free calls. Additionaly dont wake up too much the attention in the dash and fit great in the car with the correct installation kit. Pair with 4 kicker KS speakers and my teenager is very pleased.

Amazing upgrade from stock radio!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony system I purchased was a big upgrade from the original AM/FM CD factory radio. With Apple Car Play, bluetooth and other great features it really brings my truck into the 21st century. It's easy to use and a great value.

Great upgrade for my Ford truck
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own a 2006 F150 Ford truck and wanted to do an upgrade to apple car play with a display. This product absolutely fits the need. The display is large enough to read while driving. I also purchased the trim kit and wiring harness for easy install. With the trim kit, it looks like it was factory installed. Plugged my phone in and the apple car play worked like a champ. My music and map apps worked flawless. The USB plug on the front display makes it easy to plug your phone in. This is needed for the maps to display. The Blue Tooth also works without plugging the phone in if you just want Music apps to work. I highly recommend this product.

Nice radio
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced my stock deck in my 06 rubicon. The radio is great and easy to use. The only downfall is my jeep is a stick shift, and the carplay wire is kind of in the way when shifting into first gear. The wire comes out of the deck on the left side of the stereo, and i put my phone on the passenger seat after plugging in. (The right) so you have a cord going across your shifter. You get use to it, but i recommend looking for a different radio if your jeep is a manual and you wanna use carplay to your phone. Anything with the wire on the rightside of the deck. Im still giving it 5 stars because that was my fault, and i can not blame the equipment for that.

I mostly use it for CarPlay, so i have maps/navigation, spotify, and hands free calling/messaging. I have a 1999 camry and installed/wired it myself using a harness connector off amazon. Would definitely recommend

Worth It!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A really nice stereo! I added this to my almost 20 year old vehicle as I had to replace my previous aftermarket stereo by Kenwood. It connected to the camera we had uninstalled before without a hitch, and I prefer it to the Kenwood. I like the interface and how seamless it looks my vehicle's interior, as if it came with it. The CarPlay interface also looks very nice. This stereo may be on the pricey side, but it's worth it.
