Love this device best in automotive and automotive electronics

Where to start. A lot can be said about this thing, mostly good things. It was packaged very well, all the accessories were neatly packed and kept separate from the stereo and screen. It looks phenomenal and sounds amazing (when properly tuned). Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS work great, and you can't even tell I have external antennas on my windshield unless I point it out. When I bought it I was concerned about the low power RCA outputs, but the high frequencies actually play a lot. louder than the pioneer I pulled out. Unfortunately, the subwoofer performance is very weak. I had to turn the subwoofer up (+10) to adjust the sound well, while on my Pioneer I turned it down to -9 to adjust the high frequencies. I may install a line driver in the future just in case I want to occasionally wipe on my old one as I might. Music and GPS speedometer widgets, live wallpapers and many other things available. Cons: Some parts are a bit odd and/or difficult to understand. For the subwoofer crossover, you can flip the sliders, which will make the subwoofer output almost zero. This is how it worked for me, and I didn't realize it until I accidentally moved the bottom slider past the top one. Also, it would be great to have a checkbox to EQ the front and rear speakers at the same time. Having to place the front and rear speakers separately, which some may find a nice feature, is annoying when you want them to be the same and you have to do it manually. I found this out after taking the whole dash apart again and removing the stereo to make sure I didn't connect the wires wrong even though I knew I had them right. 🙄The bottom 1/4 inch of the screen doesn't respond well to touch at all, making pressing the button at the bottom extremely frustrating. Combine that with the edge where the frame extends beyond the screen and you're in. All in all, I like this stereo despite all the shortcomings. It looks and sounds amazing after some trial and error, and in the end that's what really matters.
