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.

    Unit was priced reasonably, sounds better than my Toyota OEM stereo and simple to navigate. Love USB PLUG on face of the unit, so phone sits above in the ac vent and only need 9 inch cable.

    Very happy with this radio. I was looking for a low cost (but quality brand) radio featuring CarPlay. I like the physical Home button, Volume knob, and external USB plug right on the front.

    This radio is amazing, I have absolutely no problems with this minus the size being small.. but you get what you paid for so i have no issues with it. As someone who now can’t live without CarPlay this is the go to when on budget

    I really like this upgrade to my vehicle. Apple Play is great and the bluetooth works well, also. It's been a little over a month and I am wondering why I didn't do this sooner. Not to mention, the Best Buy installation was a breeze.

    Bought this for my husbands birthday. He really loves what he is able to do with it. Since he as an older vehicle this worked great having the backup camera that he didn't have before and hands free phone options.

    Nice unit and good quality but had to return due to an interference issue with the factory amp. Was not able to purchase the amp bypass cables to make it work.

    This is the best money I have spent on my old car! Built in navigation with Apple Maps, seamless integration with CarPlay, gorgeous display, hands free dialing with my IPhone, not to mention great sound..so much more than a mere car stereo. I love it!

    Simple interface and intuitive controls. I like that the USB port is positioned on the front of the receiver instead of running a cord through the back of the glove compartment. It’s just really easy to use and it works really well.

    I took the recommendation of a Best Buy employee to get this radio. It was affordable, a lot less expensive than other choices, and it has been a great addition to my Xterra truck. I am very pleased with its functionality and touch screen ease.

    I had a basic stock system that was 20 years old. Now I am living the dream. Love my receiver. It does exactly what I wanted, which is to be able to play my phone's music without having to hook up to an FM transmitter....

    Very user friendly. Never had to read the manual. Rearview backup camera screen could be better. Volume knob could be bigger and illuminated. Overall, very nice for the price. Sony quality. No real complaints.
