Pretty cool system
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve always wanted CarPlay just didn’t wanted to get a new car just for it. I was researching an inexpensive way for what I wanted. I found this with a little help from an Bestbuy employee. The installation was smooth. I like it so far.

Sony Vehicle Stereo
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The first thing I'll note is the pros: better sound than the stereo my truck came with, and able to pick up more stations. The Cons, hard to see clock other than, the home button face of the stereo, the time is shown in various places and hard to read.

Great Product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good quality hardware. I got this for Christmas for my teenage daughter and having an actual volume knob is likely to last longer than a digital feature.

This is a great aftermarket radio
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this in order to install a 10 inch sub in my Miata. It weeks really great and I love the equalizer and the extra bass feature. Apple car play is very nice and responsive. I’ve only had one problem, one day the device glitched on me really bad, but ever since then I haven’t had a single issue.

Dim screen
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought for my 2014 Honda CRV, pretty decent sound, easy to use but i had to return it because screen to dim and glare from sun only adjustment was a brightness control which unfortunately didn't help much. Maybe just the way the CRV dashboard and the position the stereo sits.

That’s pretty good
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this because my car's stereo got jammed and it didn’t let me play my cassettes or cd’s so I decided to upgrade to this. I didn’t necessarily know how to install this but a quick YouTube video solved that. Once it was in it looked real nice and flush with the console of the car. The device itself runs really smooth with no issues.

Good Stereo
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is good. Nice to have volume control /SIRI button. Not much in the way of customization. Carplay and bluetooth work fine. Backup camera lines are so so...we use the camera’s lines and turn the Sony’s off.

Good radio
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is exactly what we needed for our car. It has apple car play which is great for maps and listening to Apple Music play lists. Having the port on the front of the radio makes it very convenient.

Meh
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this to have it installed by Best Buy team into my daughter's car that did not have Apple CarPlay. It does what it supposed to do, but she says that it is annoying to use and messes up the audio when messages come in. Not sure if it is user error or just the nature of the after market device. She hates it though.

Best performance for the price
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best performance for the price. Great volume, sound performance, features, and seamlessly integrates with phone via CarPlay. I would recommend even if you have android - still can use Bluetooth connectivity to stream music, podcasts, etc. The USB port is also nice for direct music files - ~20,000 songs on a 64gb thumb drive.

Easy search for car stereo

Great car stereo
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best car stereo for the money you can buy. Picked it up for $250 with free installation. My only complaint is that it cost just as much for the required harness and other required hardware including sirus to complete the installation.

Great entry level car stereo.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The installation is a little tricky if you haven't installed a radio before, but that caveat goes for most car stereos. However, the performance of this radio is pretty good. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles but if you need a basic radio with CarPlay this works well. I installed this in my Dad's work SUV and he loves it.
