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 recently got my hands on the Sony Apple CarPlay Built-in Bluetooth In-Dash Digital Media Receiver and I must say, I am beyond impressed with its performance. Once it was up and running, the user interface was so easy to navigate, I didn't have to fumble around to find what I needed. The large 6.4-inch touch screen made it easy to access my favorite apps, control my music and navigate my way through the GPS system. Speaking of music, the sound quality is top-notch. I am a self-proclaimed audiophile and the built-in amplifier did not disappoint. I was able to customize the equalizer settings to my liking and the bass and treble were well balanced. I also love that I could use my Spotify and Apple Music accounts seamlessly with the receiver. The Bluetooth connectivity feature allowed me to make hands-free calls while on the road and I never had any issues with call quality or signal loss. It was also very easy to connect my phone to the receiver. But the highlight for me was the Apple CarPlay feature. It was a game-changer for my road trips as I could use my iPhone apps, messages and even Siri through the touch screen. I could access all my apps from one place and I didn't have to take my eyes off the road to navigate through my phone. Overall, I am extremely satisfied. It has made my driving experience more enjoyable and safe. I highly recommend this receiver to anyone in the market for an upgrade.
