   Excellent radio for the price.
   I really have no complaints about this radio. It does everything as advertised, and flawlessly I might add.The radio looks nice. It adds a nice touch and is a decent upgrade to older stock radios. The front and rear camera work well. The camera video looks acceptable on the radio’s display screen but I have not tried to view the footage from the SD card on any other screen, therfore, i cannot comment on actual video quality. it has wireless android auto and Apple car play. I use android auto and the connection is just as flawless as on my 2023 ram. Buttons are responsive and the touch is accurate. Volume is loud. Sounds good.It is pretty simplistic and easy to use. It has some nice features but keep in mind that it is a budget radio. The mic is not great during phone calls but is acceptable. The cameras are cheaply made but work well. The user interface and menu options are minimalistic and basic. I’d like to see the user interface have more options.It comes with colorful instructions that are pretty easy to follow. The wiring digrams are pretty easy to understand but you should know that the dash cam comes with different wiring instructions than the head unit, so when wiring up the dash cam make sure to follow the dash cams instructions and not the head units instructions. I ran into this problem where my camera would only stay on for 20 seconds and then shut off. After reaching out to them they very kindly told me what I had done wrong and it was an easy fix. Just had to swap the camera’s power wire per the camera instructions….not the head units instructions.Their customer support is outstanding. What ever the product is lacking is made up for with thier customer support. They have a text based customer support which I like. The contact information is in the literature they send you. They are very easy to contact and their response time is swift, usually an hour or less in my case. I have no problems getting ahold of them or getting a quick response with a good solution.Overall I rate this product 5 out of 5 stars. I would have rated it 4 of 5 stars because it lacks a little in features and overall build quality when compared to a high end unit, but since I knew this wasn’t a high end unit when I bought it then it’s not fair of me to compare it to a high end unit. So, as for a lower end budget radio, this one really hits the mark. It’s a perfect unit for someone on a budget or for someone who doesn’t need nor want all the fancy bells and whistles. I am very pleased with this product and with customer support. Would highly recommend.

   Excellent all the way around – Great Quality for the Price
   Setup was easy.Android Auto connects seamlessly every time.Touch screen is bright and responsive to touch.Backup Camera is good. I don’t like how bulky it is, but its aftermarket so that’s the deal. Picture though is really clear. Option to have the guide lines or not. Backup Camera cable was barely long enough for my 2003 Chevy Silverado Extended Cab Short Bed. If you have a Crew Cab or Long Bed, you’ll need an extended which you have to buy separately.Front Camera – i haven’t installed it yet.Vendor sent startup screen with Chevy logo.Vendor was super fast responsive to all my concerns. In particular, the Bluetooth sound quality was poor. I opted for a separate wired microphone, but that didn’t solve the problem. I contacted the vendor and they sent an update file which greatly improved the quality.Software updates note: You need to be a bit computer savy…download the zip/compressed file to your computer. Extract the files, then add the appropriate file or folder to a USB drive. There are simple instructions, but again, that might be a barrier to some people. I ended upgrading the firmware, Bluetooth, and MCU (micro controller not marvel!). Overall sound quality improve and added some slight visual improvements. Just did it, so there might be other improvements that I haven’t noticed.Overall very pleased with the purchase. There are many double din units out there for much more, this one has everything i need. Even though i had some challenges, i still gave 5 stars because of how quickly the vendor responded and was really wanted to help me solve the issues.

   High quality, easy to use
   High quality. I like it because the screen is color accurate, meaning if you see red, you see red, not pink or orange. Lag, there is some lag on android auto and carplay, but once you set a destination, it won’t lag anymore. (It only lags when you move the maps.) Connectivity is very easy to use. It automatically connects to your phone when it’s turned on. Volume control is great, but it is hard to press to mute. Functionality is great, the UI is very easy to use, but I wish there was a feature to edit apps, clock type, etc. Heat dissipation is good asaell but I added extra to the rear to cool better.It included a dashcam which records well too. You also have multiple settings you can adjust from resolution, to refresh rate, motion detection etc. But you must connect it to the radios ACC and 12V wire, don’t connect it to the FCCD. It’s also adjustable, aswell as the rear camera, it has a 3M tape to stick it on or screws. The backup camera lines are adjustable aswell. It also charges very fast on my Galaxy s24 Ultra using the USBC. Has calling features also. This will work on iPhones too.
