Greate replacement radio for my cars
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I originally bought this for my son's car when he started driving. We liked it so much I decided to replace the radio in my truck with it as well. The ability to use both iOS & Android makes this an even better product.

Mr. President
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You have to plug it in to use carplay. I was told when I bought it you didn't have to. You can't use maps unless it is plugged in with a usb cable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Excellent head unit and great install

I would recommend this to a friendNot working after just 30 days
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked great for a month. Then the physical buttons stopped working on both the Radio and the Steering Wheel Controls. Touch screen works but not way to increase or decrease volume. Called Best Buy number was told to call the local store where it was installed. Called them- on hold for an extended time then got cut off. Look like I am going to have to drive back to the store where it was installed (which is not close) Next time I will go to a local shop

This radio is phenomenal
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Android auto makes this worthwhile. Able to use Maps, iHeartRadio, hoopla, and Spotify without looking at my phone. The audio is amazing. Plus the video for the rear camera is better than the original radio.
