Don't waste your money

Second time I reviewed this product (first time Revain removed it because my colorful tongue offended them) but it's still the same crap as the first time when I tried to write a review. When I realized it was now mid-March 2019, that crap had been in my car for a whole year! Which actually says a lot about my patience as the screen didn't work for about 10 months! First of all the design sucks, no matter how I installed it in my car there was no chance it would penetrate the dash far enough to not stick out almost an inch from the dash and I don't mean the front panel. I mean the legal metal bracket that holds the radio sticks out that far. The screen died quickly but I was able to find a way to get it to work on a case by case basis. Until the motor burned out and it doesn't even open anymore. Luckily I reset the Bluetooth pairing code to a code I remembered before the screen went blank, otherwise I would never have been able to pair my phone again if I got a new one. Speaking of Bluetooth, a very nasty problem started today with my phone turning off. random phone call while I'm driving to the music. Not exactly what you want to deal with when driving down the freeway in the rain. Disconnected and reconnected 3 times in the 30 minute ride, reminding me to revisit this poop. In short, don't waste your money. I spent $80 on a Sony screenless radio to fit in my truck 6 years ago and have had no problems with this radio to date. It was nothing but a problem
