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.

    This product was a significant improvement from the original stereo in my 20 year old BMW. The Apple Carplay feature is excellent. For the money, this is a great investment. I feel like I have a new car.

    So far, so good! Installed by Best Buy. My car is a 1997 so the antenna didn't work well on the previous factory stereo, but now works great on the same antenna. Connects very quickly to my phone for music and calls.

    Jay in installation was the best! He made me feel comfortable getting a new system put in an older truck. He really knew what he was doing and was very easy to ask questions.

    Overall it works, it does what you want, apple carplay just needs to improve overall, especially maps, o man that needs a better interface like how it is on a phone or something more user friendly for people who just want a detailed map while they drive

    Not the sharpest display but I picked this up mainly for Apple CarPlay when driving. It's been great so far and no issues. I would recommend it.

    Becareful - the first was for Apple only. The second they installed was Android too. I would rather the volume knob. To get it attached to the steering wheel in another $100.

    Had this unit installed at BB in a 2006 Honda Ridgeline. It sounds very good and the installation was great. I also added a wireless backup camera that displays on the Sony screen. Very happy.

    Love this receiver! I was desperate for something with CarPlay, and this delivers nicely. It's got a nice big screen (which is great for navigation), the touch pad is just right with sensitivity, and it can connect anything I need.

    He was able to install this himself in less than an hour or so. All he did was watch some YouTube videos and his 06 STI shaved off about a good 10 years. The features are amazing, the sound quality is great. Would recommend 10/10

    Really happy with this upgrade from my (broken) OEM model. I am a fan of the actual volume dial and external port for a USB and Aux cable. Would recommend.

    Great for the money! It is certainly a step up from the stock radio in my Smart car. Much richer sound from the same crummy speakers. I chiefly bought this for Apple play though, and that can be a little unpredictable and quirky sometimes.

    I had an after market backup camera hooked up, which looks amazing! The radio was also installed for free due to being over $200.00.
