    Great radio with responsive touchscreen. Runs CarPlay flawlessly. Only critique is the screen is sometimes hard to view in the sunlight.

    Great stereo, apple play

    Great car stereo, Apple Play works great, the sound out of the stock speakers sounds better than with the factory stereo. Only knock is during the day, at times, the Sun glare makes it difficult to read the screen. Geek Squad installation was awesome and fast.

    I bought this to replace the stock stereo in my 2014 Jeep Wrangler. Everything I needed was in stock and Best Buy even installed it for me. I've had this stereo for about a month now and no complaints! Its super nice to have apple carplay. It sounds great, looks great, and is just what I wanted!

    Bought this receiver to put apple play in my 2012 Honda Civic. Unfortunately appointments for install were 1 month out so got installed elsewhere. Stereo works perfect, was able to hook up to my steering wheel controls as well. When using apple car play the phone controls on steering wheel don't work, but regular bluetooth does. Also hooked up backup camera which works nicely.

    Bought this radio for my daughter's 17th birthday. It takes calls hands free and easy to use. Navigation works really well whether its Apple or Android. The Geek Squad tech that installed it was really cool. Shout out to Zach at the Independence location in Virginia Beach

    I put this in my smart car and I love it. I’ve had it for about a month and have had no problems. The only thing is that the time doesn’t stay set once I shut the car off, but when I plug my phone in for apple carplay that doesn’t matter.
