    Upgraded the Jeep's stereo. Amazing deal but I didn't read the details close enough to see that it didn't have Apple CarPlay. It works fine with my iphone. Also, I love that I can add a backup camera to it.

    Used this to replace my stock OEM Jeep Wrangler radio. Very easy to use and works great. I do wish the screen would have more customized options on the display color and icons. Also do enjoy being able to use my Google maps on this device. Overall though definitely worth purchasing.

    This has worked well so far. I wish it had a physical volume knob but at this price point you have to make compromises. It is easy to use and not loaded down with a bunch of customizable features. It's kind of like an iPhone, it just works. Best Buy did a superb job with the install. It looks like my 8 year old car came with it!

    Great system for the price. I have been enjoying the CarPlay option for the most part. System is in a 2002 Infiniti. Cons: system itself and in WebLink while car is in idol, the system thinks I’m driving. So it won’t connect. Voice quality when talking on phone is in apple play isn’t the greatest but when on Bluetooth, voice quality is good.

    I've had this product for about 1.5 years now and it's been nothing but great. It's probably the best value android auto/apple carplay stereo you can get for the quality. It's super sold, no creams, bending, display wear or anything and I use it a ton. I'd highly recommend it.

    Replaced radio in my RAV4 a few years back with this radio. Have had no issues with it so when I needed a radio for my son's Ho da Accord and saw this was still available, it was a no brainer. Easy to use and no issues with any functions.

    I listen to the radio, sometime stream through Apple CarPlay and added a backup camera. This radio works for all three and cost less than most. Glare can really be a problem! I bought a little shade to help. There are VERY few options.
