Excellent Radio
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent Radio. Love the physical buttons at the bottom of the radio. Andriod auto and apple car play work perfect and sound out of this radio is excellent. Radio does not scratch and holds up well over time unlike other radios from other manufactures. Would buy again.

Setup is almost plug and play
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This radio was on sale when I purchased it, as I recently went into a 2007 Chevy Truck. I could not stand the OEM radio for one minute and within 24 hours of getting the truck- I made this online in store pickup order. I did a lot of research within that day and determined based on the reviews, videos and price point that this would do the job— and it has - over a month later!

I would recommend this to a friend Outstanding!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Vehicle is a 2012 Honda Accord LX. Today was a great day! I've been waiting for months to have Best Buy install my new Sony stereo and today it's finally complete! I own my car but I knew I wanted a new updated stereo without having to start car payments all over. And here's the finished project. 2 questions though, even when parked how do you play the games preinstalled and how do you get YouTube to show video not just audio?

Works great and convenient to use Car play.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The unit works great and BestBuy team are experts to recommend the required parts and configure to make the existing steering wheel controls works with the radio. Initially when the order is placed online, the website didnot show up the additional components like Universal Analog Steering Wheel Interface that is mandatory to work with the factory steering controls. I had to make multiple appointments to make the steering wheel controls works due to limited slots available which is expected as the installation is free which otherwise would have to spend 10's or 100's of dollars with outside car audio installation stores. So worth spending time and understand the product and work with the Geeksquad team to get your expectations met. Finally im happy as its just one week old on my Toyota Camry 2016 and got rid of all those phone mounts to hook the phone for maps navigation.
