A: Yes, the same thing happened to me. It is terrible. I had to return it. Do not believe that the installation is free... it's not.
A: It is saying that the dash does not come with a Spotify application built in like SirusXM, the app on your phone will connect with Apple Car play and you will be able to see the app and play from there. I use Spotify for this car radio and works great! I have attached a photo on how it looks like if you’re playing a song with Spotify.
Customers frequently mention the 6.2" - Apple CarPlay - Built-in Bluetooth - In-Dash Digital Media Receiver is a great radio, especially praising its Apple CarPlay integration, sound quality, and ease of use. The inclusion of a volume knob and a responsive touch screen are also appreciated. However, some customers have noted the absence of a rear USB port and occasional connectivity issues.

I want to start out by saying that I actually really like this stereo. We installed it in our 2000 Jeep TJ Wrangler using the Metra double-din dash kit. The big selling points for me were the backup camera input, Apple CarPlay, and a knob the volume. Overall the stereo works great, sounds great, and I think it's fairly easy and intuitive to use. The problem for us, and this could be a common issue with aftermarket radios, is that it only ever remembers the last bluetooth device/phone it was paired to. If you're the only person that ever drives you car it's not an issue, but we have 4 different drivers in our house that drive this Jeep, so we're constantly having to re-pair our phones every time one of us drives the Jeep, which is annoying. The factory radios in our later model vehicles can remember multiple phones so you only ever have to pair your phone the first time and the car connects to whoever is driving after that. Assuming I can find a different stereo that will remember multiple phones I will probably end up replacing this one.

Overall I’m happy with the stereo for the price paid. That said, you shouldn’t need to spend $1000 to get slightly better functionality. Pros Price was good Fit perfectly in Jeep Wrangler dash Has volume knob Satellite radio ready Supports Apple CarPlay 3 levels of channel presets Simple operation Comes with remote (not sure how useful this really is) Cons Bluetooth sometimes slow to connect for phone Screen is not as bright as it needs to be during the day time. It can be hard to see the screen in bright sunlight. Brightness is fine at night. Attached pic are at night time. Font size is rather small. Would like to be able to make it bigger Volume knob could be larger and add a light or glow strip to it. Since it’s black it blends in with rest of radio and dashboard. Not all steering controls worked, but that could be an issue with the vehicle Suggestions for design improvement: Make screen brightness level a user option Allow switch from radio/satellite/CarPlay without having to hit home screen first Add light/glow line to volume knob

I’ve had this for about 3 weeks so far love it! Nice upgrade for my 2010 Nissan Xterra. The apple play is so convenient I love using Siri to text while driving. I had Best Buy install it at the Colorado mills location the tech did awesome! He installed the receiver 4 kicker speakers and a backup camera. Everything looks and sounds great he even installed the little mic above the driver side. When I go into reverse the camera automatically comes on! I am very happy with the work her did. For the price and to have apple play and or Bluetooth works as expected. I included the before and after photos.
