I recently purchased this stereo for a 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid. This is a decent, full-featured, entry-level Android car stereo that lives up to its price point. It was relatively easy to install and the included connectors worked right out of the box, although the included (and required) bezel has no room for a passenger airbag indicator. This stereo takes about 40 seconds to boot up from ignition to full readiness. (fairly typical), and when the car is turned off, it will idle for 15-45 seconds before turning off (sorry, it's not more than 15 minutes!). During this time, restoring power will immediately restore the stereo to its previous state. Although after a complete power cycle it remembers what apps were open and reopens them in the background, it always powers on and starts back up on the desktop and you have to manually launch the Bluetooth app to connect to your phone, or manually switch back to any app you previously had open. It remembers all your settings (DSP settings, saved WiFi hotspots, Android settings, installed apps, app settings and data) on reboot. This stereo runs Android 10 and comes pre-loaded with the Google Play Store so you can install and run pretty much any Android app. However, it only has 2GB of RAM and a mid-range processor, so don't expect a fast and high-end Samsung tablet. This is especially noticeable when running Google Maps; It's quite slow and jumpy at first, but once the navigation starts, it smoothes out and works well. It also includes an offline navigation app (great if you get lost in a blackout area or can't connect to your phone) and a Chrome web browser that lets you listen to streaming radio online (if you're connected to that phone bound). On paper it has a low-res display, but in practice it's quite adequate and looks good. It doesn't get dark enough at night; In fact, I'd like the low brightness setting dropped to 15% of max brightness (I'm guessing it's down to around 50% currently). You can pull down the translucent Android notification menu to dim the screen an additional 50-25%. There's also a "sun" icon that lets you turn off the display completely. Mind you, it turns back on when you adjust the volume. Daytime brightness is normal and it dims automatically - dependent on the headlights, not the dashboard dimming setting. It responds well to touch and responds well to both light and hard touches. Despite being small and thin, this stereo has enough sound power and good DSP. Once the correct EQ adjustments were made, the sound quality from the stock Honda speakers was good, with an impressive 30-17kHz frequency response - a massive improvement over the factory radio! The photos accompanying this review show the equalizer settings I came up with, as well as the SWC function, which allows you to assign buttons on the steering wheel to different radio functions. The kit includes cables for two USB ports. This can be handy if you want to take your music and/or video library with you. It also has video cables for the rear camera and for outputting video to secondary displays if you want the display to be mirrored for rear seat entertainment. All in all, this stereo offers excellent quality and many features for its price.
