Works great in the first generation Toyota Sequoia. A really honest review!

This is a really honest review. I bought this radio with the idea of getting a little more information about my first generation (Sequoia) entertainment device. Although it looks a bit chunky in my dash at first compared to the flush finish with the dash like my previous radio. It took some time to get used to it visually. I had to find a new way to mount the radio because it is small in depth. The included brackets are made of aluminum and are easy to bend and adjust to your needs for a secure fit. This radio will not fit standard factory mounts (my Toyota) without a custom install. This may differ in your case and car/truck. However, once you figure out how to set it up, the radio performs like a champ. It might be a bit faster if you use Google Maps, but I think G-Maps itself is resource intensive. But it works fine when it's on and running. It's really nice to be able to use the Google Store and install Android apps like Youtube, Instagram, Spotify, etc. The option itself is amazing! The vertical style screen works great, the touchscreen responds well when switching from radio to navigation and other functions. It was pretty solid. Changing the wallpaper is a really cool thing. Whether you want a photo of your family or a sports logo for your car, the sky is the limit for this thing. I know some people are looking for this, myself included. If you've ever owned a regular Android tablet, you'll get all these features in this radio. It was also a pleasure to connect it to my iPhone with Wi-Fi. Downloading apps and using my unlimited internet is a real plus. Living in a big city, I sometimes use Wazes to get real-time traffic. Internet is not a problem but there is traffic. So it's really nice to have it on my big screen and not on my phone. Nothing compares to waiting in the car for your wife or kids and watching YouTube or checking Gmail on your car radio! The rear camera is actually pretty good. As I have a large SUV it's important to be able to see where I'm pulling up, especially against walls etc. The camera itself works fairly well and clearly and the large display really helps. The only thing I do NOT care about is that the rear camera screen appears a little narrow in the display when you put it in reverse, but it only lights up for a few seconds, so it doesn't really matter. I still see and work as it should. Bluetooth connection quality was very good and the microphone built into the radio was really good, no problems with echo or anything out of the norm. Clear and loud, and it's nice that the radio downloads my phone's contacts to make it even louder. I've been using Call Wife Siri and the tones come through the radio with no problem and even mute the radio so you can talk one to one. Future tests will be: OBDII, Android USB cameras and? I am planning to plug in a Bluetooth OBDII reader and connect it to the radio to test and get real-time stats on my truck at any time. As I do some off-roading this will be the icing on the cake. Since it has multiple video input and output options for the radio, I plan to see how far this radio can go. At the same time I am very satisfied with this purchase and recommend it to others! Pros: features, instant response, rear camera, clear Google Store display, the list goes on and on. Camera problem but resolution problem) Cons: Better, longer mounting brackets. All in all a great radio, at least for my purposes. If you have space in your dash for an entertainment center/radio then this is for you!
