    Works as designed. Don’t anticipate any problems because of the brand name. Been using Sony since the 70’s whether it’s a TV, headset, Walkman, and now this car stereo. It’s nice, got it on sale. Very happy with the purchase and Best Buy installation

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
