Got all the features I wanted and more for $168.00

I think we should start with the packaging and components. Nice packaging and no missing parts! The radio installation instructions are a bit rough, but typical of Chinese instructions. I've seen a lot worse, so it is. I installed this in my trusty old Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ that had a factory Infinity stereo that was upgraded to Kenwood a few years ago. I bought a reversing camera and a USB port. Replace one of my 12V cigarette lighter sockets on the console to give me 2 usable USB ports, one for Apple Car Play and the other for my USB stick full of MP3 music. They work GREAT! DEAR APPLE CAR PLAY, WORKS PERFECTLY WITH MY NEW IPHONE SE WITH LATEST IOS. I have (SWC) steering wheel controls on my radio jeep and was able to hook these controls up to a new radio WITHOUT buying anything like a Metra SWC box or similar. radio again I could never get my old Kenwood radio to work with them. The device has an integrated GPS, so it has a GPS antenna that needs to be run and installed. I had a lot of wire to reach the right hand corner of the windshield to mount the antenna, it works great. It also included a microphone with a very long cord so you can use voice control or make calls. Everything works as advertised. It includes Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and both work flawlessly. I like the setting you get out of the box, the radio includes car logos for the home screen. So when you boot up from a cold boot, you can see your car's factory logo scrolling up the screen as it boots. The radio also comes with many background images to choose from, or you can upload your own custom backgrounds. The radio has a subwoofer output although I don't have one but I'm sure it will work fine. The RCA connectors are from the radio and this radio only has LEFT and RIGHT RCA AMP OUT. NO FRONT/REAR/L/R. If you connect directly to the speakers and not to an external amplifier, you will have separate front/rear left and right speaker wires from the radio. I have decided, connecting the radio's left and right RCA connectors to my amp with a splitter to send the left signal to both the front and rear channels of the amp, same for the right channel. It works well but I can't control the front/back balance. The other PROBLEM I am having has more to do with an Android issue than this particular radio. to get started and usable. This radio has a sleep setting that allows you to sleep up to 2 hours. This means as soon as you start the radio from a cold start and turn the car off and then on again, the radio will start up again almost immediately. However, this only happens for a maximum of 2 hours, if not more, and you have to wait 30 seconds, until the radio has booted up. I know there are other Android radios that offer days of sleep, not hours, no shutdown. I'm sure this can be fixed by either updating the Android 10 system or using an application that controls the time in the built-in settings. The camera will work BEFORE the radio completes booting from a cold boot. So if you're in a hurry and need to back up before the radio finishes downloading, the screen will switch to the camera when you put it in reverse. So that's a nice touch and relieves the limited 2 hours. Immediate start window. All in all, hard to beat for the money. I have a factory 10 speaker Bose speaker in my wife's SRX with a cue touch screen and I think it's the best solution and sound I have in my Grand Cherokee right now. which controls the time in built-in settings.
