Review on Ultimate Boost - Octa-Core 4GB+64GB Double Din Car Stereo, Eonon 8 Inch Android 10.0 Bluetooth 5.0 Car Radio for Chevrolet/GMC/Buick, Equipped with CarPlay & Android Auto/DSP-GA9480D by Emilie Clorina

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Disappointed with the dashboard navigation

I REALLY wanted to like this unit but honestly I'll buy a regular unit with Carplay/Android Auto if that's the main reason you want this deck. Pros: It works with steering wheel controls, but that's where the fun ends. CONS: The screen is polarized and adjusted so that when you wear polarized glasses the screen is BLACK. Indeed? How the hell did the QA/QC pass. VERY VERY slowly. I can't even imagine the 2GB version being usable at all. It will not connect to ANY hotspot on iPhone, only on Android. "Carplay" and Android Auto are FAKE and run on a 3rd party app. The ONLY use case for this radio is for a tech lead who wants to play. Or, if you NEED a standalone sat nav, you can. Other than looking elsewhere, this radio is VERY inferior. Again, I REALLY wanted to like this deck, but to be honest anything above 199 because it's a waste of money, even more than I'd spend to know how it works now. Oh, there are 2 plugs that match the factory plugs for one of the ports. If you plug in the wrong one, you'll hear a buzz and no sound from the back.

Pros
  • Applicable car models
Cons
  • Style 90
