Big value in a small package. Feature packed. My ONLY complaint was that Alexa was too sensitive. I put a bit of foam on the microphone and problem solved. Great unit!

Controls are sketchy...the app is even worse. Can't even update the firmware because the volume knob won't change to the settings screen. Returning.

I wanted a single DIN head unit with HD radio and a physical volume knob, so I only found a couple options. I already have a Kenwood that I'm not crazy about so I decided to try this. It sounds pretty good and does the job so here are the things that make it kind of lame: 1) The display brightness is completely inadequate. With the brightness on max you can barely see it on a cloudy day (see photo), let alone when the sun is out. The buttons are plenty bright, why didn't they make the display brighter? 2) Sooooo many options in the menus. You can select things like crossover type, speaker size, tweeter size (?!), and many other things that I don't even know what they mean. The quick start instructions don't even mention most of them, and the 140+ page (digital) owner's manual doesn't explain them all very well so there will be quite a bit of time spent trying to get those settings figured out. And of course the more settings there are, the more it hurts having to reset them all if you ever have to disconnect the battery. All in all a decent head unit, bluetooth connectivity is vastly superior to the Kenwood I own, and once I get the menus figured out I think it will do nicely.
