Review on Android 9" Car Stereo Radio GPS Navigation System For Volkswagen Passat Golf Jetta Polo Tiguan Touran SEAT Skoda With WiFi Mirror Link Bluetooth, FM + Rear View Camera + Double USB (2G+32G) by Chris Lentz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cheap for a reason but worth it all the same.

I bought this as a replacement for a replacement radio I bought for my Volkswagen MK5 Jetta. I was scared about buying this because of a fear of buying aftermarket cheap parts. I bought this simply for the touchscreen ability and the Bluetooth audio connection.This unit is cheap, and for a good reason. A lot of the words and phrases were obviously made by someone not naturally English, so be prepared. It's an LCD screen but it's sunk in to a bezel, so it's not flat to the actual screen. In the box, you get the unit itself, wiring harnesses, a SATNAV antenna box, a canbus, and other wires need for things like the backup camera.If you're wondering how the installation went, it went poorly. Getting my dashboard panels disassembled was easy, but reading the instructions to figure out how to wire this up was near impossible.I read through so many reviews and videos but there was no clear distinction on whether or not to use the canbus. I should have installed it when I did it, because I woke up to go to work this morning with a dead car battery. After installing the canbus, disconnecting the red and orange wires that meet together with a black clip, and jump starting my battery, everything worked allright.As you can see, the unit fits great inside of my dashboard. However, the panel needed to be trimmed to get it to fit. Points off for that.Bluetooth connection is great. It's almost instant. There's a 1 second lag time between the selection of music and the actual playing of the song, but that is not a complaint.This thing is basically an Android tablet. You can download anything you need. I'm still trying to figure out what I want. It's nice telling people I can change the wallpaper on my radio.Overall, if you need a touchscreen and want something cool to show off for relatively cheap, this is it. 150 dollars for a radio and a camera is pretty good.If I can do it properly, you can do it too, but be warned: it's cheap for a reason. The customer service is not cheap. I reached out to them and they relatively quickly helped my issues. 4 stars.
