Double Din Car Stereo with Apple Carplay&Android Auto | HD Touchscreen Car Radio Double Din Car Audio Receivers, Bluetooth, Backup Camera, MirrorLink, FM&EQ, USB/AUX/TF/Subwoofer

Let me paint a picture: I've been toying for a while with the idea of buying an aftermarket touchscreen radio for my 2005 Honda CR-V... until my battery died and I didn't have the code to reset the original radio. So here I am needing a new radio. After a bit of research on Amazon I came across this one. Cheap, good reviews, let's give it a try. My process was kinda rushed, so I had no idea what the installation was gonna be like, nor what other things like "trim kits" were or wiring harnesses. I bought the radio alongside the recommended antenna adapter for my CR-V. Well, turns out I didn't need the antenna adapter, take note if you have the same car. I then proceeded to buy some quick crimp connectors alongside with the crimper/wire cutter tool. Ok, a bit more elaborate than I thought. Now, I do think I am quite a bit more handy than the average, but this was a first for me too. I removed the original stereo and unplugged the 2 wiring harnesses going into it and the antenna cable. Turns out that one harness was not needed at all. Good, less work for me. The antenna cable was good for the new radio too. BUT the next set of wires that went into the radio was going to be quite a bit of work. This is when I would have loved to know that there are such things as wiring harness adapters. They basically connect the wires that went into your old stereo and arrange them so that they'll work on your new radio. Plug and play basically. Unfortunately I can't tell you what wire harness works for you as I didn't use one. What I did do was cut the existing wiring harness to free all the terminals. I then stripped them all and crimped the quick connectors in place. One by one. Then I surfed the web to find a wiring diagram. Great, found one! Too bad that quite a few wire colors were wrong/mixed up, and to make it worse, some of the wires on the car were basically identical. I crimped the wire terminals supplied with the stereo and then connected the wires together looking at the diagram online and the booklet that came with the new stereo. First try, no luck, turned on for 2 second and then turned off. But at least it turned on. Turns out that it would have been nice to have a better diagram with he right colors. I switched a couple of wires and bam, the radio turned on, but the music only came from 1 out of 4 speakers. Not too bad. Switched some other wires and shazam! Music from all the speakers. Ok, great, now let me close everything up. Yeah, uhm, so that's what trim kits are for. Turns out that without trim kits you'll see the edges of the radios that should be hidden. Not ideal. Bought a cheap trim by Metra that was supposed to fit. Aaand, it didn't. Had to hack it and cut the frame short to make it fit, put some take to hide the cut and that's how it remains now. Still not the best fit, but good enough for me not to loose my mind when looking at it. All in all the process took me about 3 days having to work for an hour at a time as I didn't really have the time. If you truly take a whole day or weekend off and dedicate it to this project, you'll most likely make it work. That is if you're average in handiness. I don't really have the time to mess with the backup camera, yet, once I have more time I'll try to get into it. But it should be a fairly easy process. The audio is pretty good and I'm happy with it. The radio doesn't work in you're in CarPlay mode, and that's a bit of a bummer. CarPlay only works if you plug the phone in with a cable. I'm happy with the purchase and the process. My car looks a lot smarter now that I have the touchscreen. The installation problems were not due to the stereo itself, but rather because of the poor wiring diagrams from my older car. Your wiring diagrams might be spot on and make the process so much smoother. I'd buy it again.

Updated April 29: The seller contacted me to make things right. I’ve got to say, this company has great customer service. My radio was not functioning properly and the CarPlay and MirrorLink wouldn’t work. Along with that, the radio looked dated and not very good looking at all. However, the company reached out to me to send out a new unit. It came in 2 days and it’s honestly really nice. If you wire things up properly, you have yourself a really nice radio! The CarPlay looks decent, the mirror link works well, and the Bluetooth is also a nice feature. I really think they went above and beyond to make me happy and I really appreciate it from a customer standpoint. For the price, this radio is super nice. It may not be the absolute fastest and high resolution, but for the unbeatable price I feel like there is really no competition with big brands. If you’re looking to upgrade your stock radio, this is defenitely a good option. The only downside is that you need the right mounting trim if you care about looks, as well as a module for the wires, but that’s standard for all aftermarket radios out there. — Original Review: 1 stars Overall, the radio works. Backup camera won’t work even after taking it to a local auto shop that specializes in stereo systems. When i connect my phone to the USB, the radio just turns off and restarts which requires a full vehicle restart to work. The Bluetooth does work. The sound quality is surprisingly decent.. another issue is that I’m not sure what version I got of this radio, but all of the other reviews look different. there’s no button to change the user interface on the screen and it’s stuck with portrait photos of landscapes, as shown in the video. Overall not too bad if you just need a replacement but too bad that the CarPlay dosent work for mine.

As far as I can tell unit would have been nice for the price IF functional. When I received it I installed it and only the front right side would not work I rewired it several times checked to make sure the factory unit was still working and it was. Turns out after I got out a multimeter and tested the pins they were not receiving power causing everything to work except that. Taking a gamble when purchasing

Great item for the price. Works as it should and the back up camera is icing on the cake. The touchscreen is not as sensitive as I'd like it to be, hence why I only gave it 4 stars, but that's just me. My only regret was not spending a little more for the wireless Android Auto version. I might upgrade to that later on. I want to see if the touchscreen will last first. Oh, and a plus for the remote that came with it.

Where to start? This head unit somehow delivers on a functioning head unit with working Android Auto for $60. That on its own is amazing, especially considering that most Android "Auto" head units under $200 are just weird oddball Android tablets in stereo form and not actually Android Auto (or Carplay) capable head units. $200+ is the entry price to bargain-basement brand AA/CP heads, and $300+ for name-brand head units that you'd start to find at big-box electronics stores when they're on sale. I bought this head unit to go into a temporary car that I picked up to avoid renting a car that I didn't know if I'd be reimbursed for (Kia engine went kaboom, that's a whole other story) and figured I'd give it a whirl. Pros: Actually has working Android Auto and I assume Apple Carplay (no fruit phone to test). Adequately powers speakers to high volumes without distortion, even though amplifier power ratings are nowhere to be found Comes with a backup camera, even though I didn't test mine Wiring harness diagram stuck on the bottom of the unit Shallow mounting depth, advantage from no optical drive Front USB port is nice, especially since you'll never want to pull it out of your dash to change any connections in the rear after you finally get it mounted Cons: Slightly larger than true double-DIN, so it'll interfere with your dash if clearances are tight (almost half an inch wider AND taller than DDIN standard) Dimmer/brake/reverse lines are labeled on non-standard colors in the provided stereo-side harness (did not use these wires so not sure if they were labeled correctly) Doesn't connect consistently to phone to start Android Auto- you often have to unplug/replug 6-7 times for everything to recognize and start correctly Off-axis screen viewing not great- hard to see screen info from the driver's seat when mounted in the center of the car Color contrast on screen not great- streets on Google maps sometimes blend into the background Does NOT provide enough power to charge phone while being used for navigation and music Physical control buttons (volume, source selection) get stuck Microphone is in the upper left corner of the outer frame but I think it's actually located in a toilet in the next state somewhere You can see from the pro/con list that this head unit is a totally mixed bag. It's an amazing value because it actually WORKS as an AA head unit, but that's about it. Once AA is up and running, it runs smoothly. The maps track quickly, music plays well, touch controls on-screen work fine, etc. I used it for just over a month and a half and it had to come out. After initial install it would connect to my phone and start AA immediately, over a few weeks it started to deteriorate and required more and more disconnects/reconnects to force AA to start. Buttons started to stick. The head unit started to reboot on its own sometimes. Then on the first 5 hour road trip, it drained my phone battery from 100% to zero in 3 hours flat, even with the phone screen off after I dropped below 60%. My normal usage is Google Maps navigating on the head unit and Spotify up on the phone- none of the half-dozen plus Pioneer or Kenwood head units I've installed in my cars have allowed any of my phones to drain while plugged in and running Android Auto. Oh, the microphone is complete trash- don't expect anyone on the other end of a phone call to understand more than a thurd (yes, thurd like turd, not third) of what you say, and definitely don't expect voice commands through Google Assistant to work. Yelling obscenities at it doesn't work either, but I guess that's not an advertised Android Auto feature anyway. All of this, coupled with the fact that the dash opening needed to be enlarged to fit the head unit (I ran open dash, guess that's like a modern day PC running janky open case which was cool in the 90s but not anymore, but I didn't care on a 25 year old temporary car), meant the cheapo head had to come out before buttoning up the car to sell it. If you're looking for an Android Auto / Carplay head unit at a dirt cheap price that actually has working AA/CP, and you don't mind chopping up your dash a bit to fit everything in, and you don't drive for more than an hour or two at a time before charging up your phone, then I guess this is a good deal. For my trip back across Texas after Thanksgiving this week, I ran with the phone connected to direct power and audio only through Bluetooth on this head unit... kinda defeats the purpose of buying a cheap stereo to get Android Auto working in a car you don't want to burn hundreds of bucks on for stereo equipment.

I waited a month to review. Cheaper radios did not last the across town test when playing videos on mp4, they would freeze up and I'd have to restart the car to restart the radio. Not this one! Every feature works! Excellent Screen!!!! It touches like my phone, like you can pinch on the map. When I plugged my phone in, it transformed to a whole new radio with android auto. It's everything advertized and some. Simple remote, cleaner sound than the cheap radios with no hum. Great backup cam! I no longer need to roll down my windows at night to back into my driveway, my tint is so dark I can't see, but the night view works wonders. The assist backup lines work day & night. Bluetooth is great! love the custom logo option, this was really important to use a factory logo to look newish stock but very up to date. The only glitch ever is the radio will sometimes come on for 3 sec, reset then work great afterword, but it's like once a week not everyday. The only quirk is if you are not on android audio the music will stop everytime you backup and will attempt to go into backup everytime the clutch cycles over reverse even if for a split second, it's sensitive but not a big deal at all to me. I think that's everything, I may upload a vid & a few pic. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this radio. I wish I had gotten the dash cam from them in the bundle. This is a shut up & take my money product and i've already recommended to a family member. 2024 update: I still love the radio but it makes loud hum only when cold outside, only for first 10 min or so when it's under 40°. It's not a big problem in Texas but up north may be an issue for some if it happens.

Works great, install was easy

I was surprised to see the display was pretty up to date. I was expecting some low quality 2010s led Sound is good to. Has an equalizer and auto adjust. Car play works great. Screen touch has a delay. But for the price. I dont care. It looks great. Back to camera cable is to short for my suv. But for the price, I'll order an extension. Im happy as a kid in toys are us. It may not last long, but again last min cheap radio and this arrived. Im very pleased. Carplay isn't Bluetooth but for the price.

En la imagen viene con cámara trasera, cables de video y control remoto. Los cuales hacen falta. La marca es distinta a la dicha.

after almost a year, no real issue, radio did get frozen up 2 time, resetted itself after few min while driving, or just power off/on vehicule it will do the trick. i Had to drill and cut the oem bracket of my hyundai accent 2010 to fit the radio. Fit almost unoticeable without any aftermarker dash radio cover. i didnt not install the rear cam. The radio synchronize within half a sec with my phone when powered up. faster then the entertainment system i have in my silverado 2024. for the price and the almost inexistenet problem i had. i would rebuy immediatly

Voici la liste des deficiences qui font que c'est un achat stupide : * Plusieurs adaptateurs et accessoires sont necessaire pour finaliser l'installation. * La fonction mirroir de Android ne fonctionne pas. * La fonction mirroir de iphone, ne fonctionne pas. * La fonction Android auto, ne fonctionne pas. * Le micro est de trés mauvaise qualité, les gens ne m'entendent pas quand je leur parle. * je ne peux pas ecouter la radio lorsque le gps est en fonction. * il redemarre tout seul de maniére imprevisible. Je revrette beaucoup de l'avoir acheter.

I've only owned it for about a week, but so far, nothing has failed or broken on it. Everything works great. Pretty easy to install with some patience and attention to detail. Love the built-in EQ, and the Apple CarPlay works great. Easily the best bang for your buck CarPlay stereo that I've seen online.
