    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.

    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.

    Fast user interface. Android Auto works without any issues. The only issue I had with it was adjusting the reverse camera guide lines. It feels like it has limited adjustability. I couldn't get the lines where I wanted them. Outside of that, the device works without any issues after over a month of use.

    Overall, very impressed with this unit. Far superior to the Pioneer unit it replaced. I really liked the external buttons for volume. Not having to use the touch screen for everything is a bonus. The only issues I found were the equalizer has presets for the type of music you listen to that you cannot adjust, fortunately you can create a custom setting. The Weblink cast function I did not care for. You have to download an app on your phone to use. I was unable to get it show anything on the screen and it greatly degrades the sound when using bluetooth to listen to music from my phone. Deleting the app was a win in my book. All in all a nice receiver at a good price.

    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 needed a new receiver for my daughter’ car. This was a great choice thanks to the Apple Car Play integration. The GPS app is handy as well as the other hand-off screen functions. The only thing that would make it better is a roll-up volume knob as opposed to buttons.
