Great radio great price
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wireless works great. Loads in 20-30sec MAX. Easy to switch from my phone to wife's. Sound is good although my pioneers and Kenwood from the past had more oomph..

Not bad
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy install everything works great as said. But I still give feeling of it being cheaply made first day but it pops off the unit and I can't find it. The sounds is off a little you really have to crank up the volume to get it at normal if it may sense to you. The microphone worse great they actually removes noise on the background Love it easy adoption to the phone no problems there at all
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Device - May buy another for my other auto.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very much enjoy this radio ( I love all the presets are in one list and you're not having to flip to "another set of of presets), - Car play is great, controls are easy. I do wish that when I plug the C cable in it would also connect to Carplay (or other apps) but the cable is just for charging... Carplay and Apps only available wirelessly. <-- Wasnt trying to force pairing with my vehicle on my passengers if they wanted to use their playlist or Maps,,,,

Great update for an older car, but needs some work
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The screen works great, but is a little wonky using Waze through Android Auto. You can still always use the Google Maps directions, but the lack of real-time traffic updates makes it a suboptimal app, and often tries to take me on a course that I find inconvenient. They need to fix the update with Waze so it doesn't randomly refuse to load. Other than that, it is great for music, podcasts, Google assistant for phone calls, reading text messages to you while driving, etc.
