Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the 6.2" - Apple CarPlay - Built-in Bluetooth - In-Dash Digital Media Receiver is a great radio, especially praising its Apple CarPlay integration, sound quality, and ease of use. The inclusion of a volume knob and a responsive touch screen are also appreciated. However, some customers have noted the absence of a rear USB port and occasional connectivity issues.

    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.

    So far so good. I was looking for a unit that resembled the factory one. This one is so much better, has CarPlay, Bluetooth a remote, and USB in the front of the unit. The only thing that could’ve made it better was a slightly bigger volume nob but it’s not a problem. Highly recommend this unit for the price it’s hard to beat.

    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.

    I installed this in an older Honda Accord. I used the existing bracket as a shelf for the unit as I am not a big fan of the aftermarket plastic kits. It was a clean Install. I also used Dynomat behind the Kicker speakers in the front doors to eliminate the bounce. Overall it sounds fantastic. My daughter loves her new wheels and sounds! Go Aggies

    Works great. Sound is better than expected. Feature list is more than expected at this price range. Clear and easy install instructions with the right wiring adapter(sold separately). Touchscreen is responsive and looks good. Could be a little better but won’t complain at this price range.

    Had this unit installed in my daughter’s 2012 Nissan Versa sedan to replace the stock unit that had a parasitic draw. Very pleased with the functionality and sound quality of this head unit. Overall quality is as expected for the price point.
