Revainrating 5 out of 5

With a little fine-tuning directly EPIC!

DON'T FORGET YOUR JBL ADAPTER IF YOU HAVE A JBL STEREO. Got it with two headrest screens to add video/nav to my Toyota Camry Solara Cabrio. It wasn't a perfect fit, but it was REALLY close (and the Solara convertible uses the same trait as the Camry). There are some quirks (e.g. radio presets get their name from the screen when you click on a preset which can show the current song or change it later). The screen is crystal clear in the video. Surprisingly. The exits are excellent. I have two screens in my headrests and my kids can watch videos or DVDs while I look at the navigation. Oddly enough, when I flip them over, their screens also change and we ALL go into rear camera mode. So far they've been thrilled with what they see behind them, but that will change as the plot point of their video changes. The microphone (a tiny hole in the top left corner of the device) works surprisingly well with the speakerphone. I'd love to get a T-Mobile USB adapter for internet access, but I can get a hotspot so navigation and apps work better (edit 12/11/2020, I did and it's awesome). The video options are AMAZING. DVD in slot or MicroSD. It reads my 200GB MicroSD card (edit: 512GB) and even reads .WMV files. I haven't tried .MOV files (I have an old camera that records to them), but MPEG, MP4, WMV are all fine. I am amazed by an Android device that plays WMV files. Syncing with my phone via Bluetooth was easy. I'll also try to set it up to use my phone as a hotspot for navigation updates (edit: worked) but the system had maps built in, which is great (edit: I've switched to google maps since I have wifi now ). The screen faces upwards, so there is a lot of glare. thank you Toyota! :-( This is not a problem with this unit or most Camry, but it is a convertible problem). I can try to make a sun visor like in video camera monitors. I haven't installed ODB yet, but I will (Edit: I installed it and it's amazing). It costs $400 with this device, monitors and a JBL adapter. To have it professionally installed, so I didn't have front to back cables for the monitors and rear camera, was another $400. Most people wouldn't spend $800 on an 8 year old car (mine is 12 at least) but I love my Camry Solara convertible, it's out of production, I don't drive that many miles so I only have 75,000 miles on Toyota (so I have many more years in this car) and I have kids and a wife who have always asked for a minivan with a TV. This means I can travel more in a convertible with the whole family, which is very valuable for me. Oh, and the original stereo was dying. I'll see if we keep my wife's RAV4 and if so, maybe she'll get something similar. Update 11/12/2020: I still like that rotation. I have a Wi-Fi hotspot with a Verizon OBD port (which calls 911 when I'm unreachable). This allows us to watch Netflix, Prime, etc. It is amazing. This reads a 512GB microSD so I have TONS of my own content (videos) for my boys to watch. Tutorials, movies, home videos, etc. I can even watch them if we're somewhere safe to do so. I switched the GPS to Google Map which gets its data from Wi-Fi. This takes about a minute (except on the radio). The screen is responsive but sometimes gets confused with "OK Google" and doesn't really recognize the next speech. All in all, this thing is a constant source of almost unlimited fun for my kids in the car, adds GPS and a backup camera, and uses the steering.
