Review on 📻 Pyle PLRDD19UB Bluetooth Double-DIN Receiver with USB/SD Card Readers, AM/FM Radio, AUX Input, Remote Control by Robert Sorrells

Overall I'd say it's good value for money, but not without a number of annoying flaws. What annoys me the most is that it loses its settings every now and then. After I connect my phone via bluetooth to play music or get directions and turn off the car, it doesn't stay in bluetooth/phone mode. Instead, it switches to FM radio, which means I get loud hissing when I turn the car back on until I pair it with the phone again. It should remember the last setting (phone mode) and try to reconnect automatically. It also loses settings for bass and treble periodically - as far as I can tell this has nothing to do with a loss of performance from a battery disconnect - there are no rhymes or reasons. The audio suddenly becomes muddy and unintelligible, and I have to manually go through the settings to change them back to +0 and +0 after inexplicably reverting to -7 and -7. In other cases it fails. for pairing with iPhone after power off instead of playing the sound as an incoming call, which means the sound quality of the phone call. I have to disable bluetooth completely, restart and try again. I don't feel like there was any usability testing done on this radio - a few small firmware tweaks could have made it a 5 star.
