zero instructions. - Car Electronics

Without instructions. Huge pain. I have installed dozens of radios and complete audio systems in vehicles. I was factory trained in a vehicle of a similar make (Jaguar/Land Rover) so I'm not new to installation and wiring like this. It's aside. It was terrible. ZERO INSTRUCTIONS. No one. General. The back pocket is huge. That this system doesn't work without using an additional port is just insane. There are dozens of small problems. The main reason I replaced my factory screen was because my anti-reflective coating was completely gone and the screen was riddled with scratches. It also supports Android Auto and rear camera. The idrive system also works on the Android side, which is great. I bought the reversing camera separately and installed it in one go. Plugged in and worked on first try. The sound quality isn't terrible either. The screen is not anti-glare, so you can't see anything during the day. I bought an anti-glare laptop screen protector and cut it to size. The image I posted of the Android Auto screen is anti-glare, while the rear view image is not. In general, the product is not bad. The setup was the worst.
