    The apple Play doesn’t move smoothly on the screen. Other than that I love this radio it’s very loud and has everything I need. It was not even the radio I ordered the tech guy just had it sitting out and offered it to me as a discount

    Radio in my car (Mitsubishi Lancer) went bad. Decided to go with this system for a replacement. Love it, and really do enjoy using CarPlay on it. If you have button controls on your steering wheel, definitely take your car to a stereo specialist to get those programmed with your car. It’ll be a thousand times much easier than doing it yourself.

    We purchased this for a 2009 vehicle that did not have a GPS and touch screen. Best Buy installed it quickly, looks great and works fantastic. Could not be more pleased.

    Purchased to replace the original stereo in our 1995 Jeep Wrangler. Wanted something with Apple Car Play and Bluetooth for when we have the top off. This system has been great so far, with no problems with the glare. Touchscreen has worked well.

    Was looking for a inexpensive unit that had Apple Play and this one should work fine. The reason for the review was the service i received during purchase from Timothy at the Northglenn Co location. Made the entire process seamless to purchase, and explained all additonal meeded parts woth me. Then, the unit went on sale, and the Northglenn team was happy to honor that price for me, even on a busy day. Thanks NorthGlenn location!
