Review on 🚘 Enhanced Car Stereo Car Radio Android 2G RAM+32G ROM Indash Head Unit for Volkswagen Jetta Passat Golf Touran Polo SEAT Skoda- 9" Touch Screen with GPS Navigation, WiFi, Bluetooth, FM, USB+Backup Camera by Mike Ramani

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great once installed so be patient

Instructions were few in detail but having previously fitted 2 radios to this car experience helped. Attaching the supplied connectors to the OEM connector was easy, as was installing the camera (which requires a separate power line on the Jetta 06). If you have a VW Mk5 there are a few things you need to know. To avoid draining the battery because the radio won't turn off, you must first disconnect the red/orange wires which are in a separate harness that is separate from the other harnesses. Second, as shown in the picture, the top edges of the radio will need to be filed (I used a Dremel tool) to allow the dash panel to fit properly. There are many options, other than the ability to change units from metric to imperial, and the sound is very good. I only use GPS for volume and speed control while using my phone for navigation. The Bluetooth phone works on both sides (my main reason for the swap) and the large screen displays song/podcast information. responsive and after the mentioned fit fixes it looks like it came from the factory. 10 or so years later! UPDATE: Downgraded from 4 to 2 stars -> Looks aren't everything. This device does not remember where it was interrupted. So if like most people you use Bluetooth connection to play your music/podcasts, every time you restart the device you have to press the "BT” button on the screen and then press the [Music] button. button, wait a few seconds, then press [Play] to resume playback from where I left off. It's very annoying when every other radio I've put in these VWs remembers where it left off (Radio/BT/Video). I spoke to the manufacturer and AM/FM radio is the only feature that can be set as default. Because of this annoyance I will be returning this radio for a refund for a radio designed for today's user.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Piggy bank price
