I would recommend this to a friendSorry
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So sorry I bought this. No on/offbutton so the radio is always on, can't disconnect the maps feature from the screen - only on my phone. Cannot get connected to Sirius for some reason. Not meant for my generation. Wish I had my old radio back

I would recommend this to a friendGreat wireless Android Auto solution
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was impressed with the ease and speed of the wireless connection compared to plugin wireless android auto adapters. The wireless quality is really good. This has a capcitive touchscreen which was a bit disappointing considering the price range, but its better that previous capacitive screens ive used. I really like the UI, its much cleaner and simpler than the other stereos IMO and Android Auto experience is very responsive. Maestro connections are there if you need them. All around really happy!
