Review on πŸš— COGAMICHI 2 Din Car Stereo Receiver with CarPlay & Android Auto, 7'' Touchscreen In-Dash Head Unit, Wireless/Wired, Bluetooth AM/FM, Mirror Link, Car Multimedia MP5 Player + Backup Camera by Derek Cage

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Amazing value for money. Not perfect but overall very happy with the purchase.

Replaced a 15 year old Pioneer head unit on my Toyota Tundra with this stereo. Here's a summary: Good: Wireless CarPlay works, very stable and reliable on my iPhone X. Touch screen is responsive. Sound quality is good, doesn't seem much different than my old Pioneer. Instructions are skimpy, but once you know what to do, it's not a complicated install. Bad: The screen is not very bright and easily washes out in the sun. Looks good at night but it's a cheap screen with a decent resolution. The viewing angle of the screen isn't great and when navigating, I sometimes have to get my head closer to the screen to read the map properly. There is a built-in microphone as well as an external wired microphone. Use the included wired microphone. The built in microphone is terrible and nobody can hear what you say. Because of this problem I had to remove and reinstall the radio. Everything seems fine with a wired microphone. Overall I would recommend this radio if you are installing it in a second car or a car that you don't drive that much. If this is your daily driver, I'd spend more and buy a device with a better screen and built-in microphone. For a second car/truck it's a great value and the wireless CarPlay system is just super cool. I don't have a reversing camera installed, so I can't comment on this feature.
