Review on 7 Inch Double Din Android Car Stereo with GPS Navigation, Touchscreen, WiFi, Bluetooth, FM Radio, USB, Mirror Link, and Backup Camera by Jacob Brasic

Revainrating 4 out of 5

All in all a great stereo for the price!

in a nutshell - the side buttons are not easy to use as they are a bit small. They don't always respond to the first touch. For my Buick it doesn't really matter as I was able to integrate steering wheel controls :) - the display is great. There is no problem here. It dims when it should when the lights come on. how much it dims is adjustable - the sound is great but that's because my Buick had high level inputs for the factory amp. So I can't say anything about the sound of the stereo system itself. - Installation - well, it will be different for everyone. I had some issues with the mounting kit I bought and this stereo. from the radio itself, one of the wire harnesses did not fit in the connector. I had to shape the plug with a file to get it in. One mounting screw thread was larger than the others. I couldn't find the right screw for it and had to tap it again. After all that was said and done, everything looked great. - The camera is really not a problem here. From time to time the camera won't turn on when I switch to reverse, but I don't know if it's a problem with the stereo or with the signal I chose for reverse. - Android - the interface is simple and responsive. That's not on par with modern smartphones, but it's not necessary for me either, since I use a stereo system most often. My music also plays without any problems. YouTube doesn't always work as smoothly as it does on a phone, but it does. - Navigation - connected but I don't use it. I couldn't download the English voice but Spanish works for me. In any case, I turn to my phone for GPS. - Hands-free calling - I was hoping to use this more often, but on the freeway it picks up too much noise (road noise/vibration) and the person on the other side doesn't understand me. I think there is an option for an external microphone and I'll probably look into that later.

Pros
  • Dashboard navigation
Cons
  • I don't feel guilty, everything is fine
