Customers consistently note the good sound quality and ease of use of the 6.95" Android Auto and Apple CarPlay Bluetooth Digital Media Receiver. Many appreciate the Apple CarPlay functionality and how well it works with a backup camera. However, some customers have expressed concerns about the inability to adjust the screen brightness, and a few have reported issues with the USB port and connectivity.

    This fit perfectly into our 2005 Pilot. The car feels so much newer now! The system works great too, easy to use. Only draw back is that it’s not that bright but this isn’t a big issue

    The radio is dim in the sun. No option to brighten it. You cannot upload your own wallpaper. The Usb connection does nit connect to your usb port. Mine had to go in the glove compartment. the backup cam cuts out some times.

    The screen Is NOT anti glare. You cant even see it in the sun. Also, you must download a crazy all permissions app to use maps. I wouldnt buy this, if I were you.
