Review on πŸš— Ultimate Android OS Car Radio: VW Car Multimedia Navigation with 9 Inches Car Stereo by Jayshawn Webb

Revainrating 5 out of 5

2005.5 Volkswagen Jetta, Amazing!

I own a VW Jetta 2005.5 (formerly MK5). I bought the radio even though I didn't have any reviews at first. I postponed the installation because I was afraid of battery drain. I just installed it, hooked up the wires, at first it started right up with no key in the ignition, BUT if you undo the black clip holding the red and orange wires together the radio now only turns on with the key in the ignition, like this as it should! (Thanks to another buyer who pointed this out to me) So if anyone is worried about the battery draining I hope this helps! Anyway, the radio itself is great. I like the Android operating system and the radio functions. I'm still getting used to it, but it's very smooth, the sound quality is very clear, and the touchscreen is pretty responsive. I haven't installed a backup camera yet, but I like how the radio detects the condition of the car. /engine and it can detect when you're reversing (so if I install I probably won't need to hook up taillights and additional wiring issues). My only problem was that you can only connect ONE radio antenna to the device and the adapter for 2 to 1 was not included. I still have access to AM/FM; but I might want to buy an adapter for better sound quality and most transmitters. Luckily the Bluetooth and microphone work great! CDs also work very well! All in all this unit is a great buy and a big upgrade over the stock radio! After installation, the appearance became much more modern! Great device at a great price!
