Does the job for the price

This product matches the description. It lists the features. Mine worked fine once I hooked it up properly. I even hooked up a backup camera and it works pretty well. Just make sure you connect it to the right video source so it knows when to register in reverse. (There are multiple video jacks) There are a few minor inconveniences that can be a little annoying. They are as follows: 1. The touch keys seem to be slightly delayed, about 1 second, and there is no way of knowing you've pressed them until they respond, allowing you to double-click. This can make it difficult to navigate/change songs etc. The buttons to change the song and volume are also not physical buttons. It can be a little difficult to hit just the right spot and know you're hitting it. However, it is hardly noticeable and I won't let that stop me from buying it. Apple Car Play uses data transfer and acts as a screen mirroring feature. It's working, but I've noticed a few delays and I think it's due to the data connection response. However, besides CarPlay, there is a separate Bluetooth function if you want to listen to music without data, etc.3. The power button is not actually a power button. This is the mute button. I will say that having a mute function is good, but there is no power function. Which brings me to my final inconvenience-4. When you turn on my car, you can't wait long before you crank it up and start the car (engine on). If you leave it in assist mode (key turned but engine off) and then try to start it after about 3-5 minutes it will be like a black screen and won't turn on fully. So you basically have to turn the key all the way back and then turn it all the way back on. Perhaps this could have been avoided if there really was a reset on/off button, but there isn't. In general, this stereo comes with things that are described in their advertisement. You really can't complain about the price. If you don't want all the minor inconveniences I've mentioned, but still want the same features, you'll probably have to spend about four times as much for a quality brand.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
