Review on Android 9" Car Stereo Radio GPS Navigation System For Volkswagen Passat Golf Jetta Polo Tiguan Touran SEAT Skoda With WiFi Mirror Link Bluetooth, FM + Rear View Camera + Double USB (2G+32G) by Jonny Dogruyol

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Its pretty good for the price, but there are some flaws.

I purchased this and installed it in my 2009 Jetta, the reason I bought it was because it simply had no reviews, which really intrigued me, I knew I was a bit of a ginuea pig so the big question really was "what were they going to send me?"Overall, for the price of the unit, the fit and finish is pretty good, I did notice that the "Radio" button is printed off center, and I absolutely cannot unsee it, otherwise everything fits nicely and matches as you would expect. The trim around the knobs are actually chrome in color, not silver. I purchased a set of similar style HVAC knobs on ebay to match since the factory black knobs were out of place.How does it work? Actually very well, boot time is quick and if you are just looking for radio or bluetooth function, these features pair up quickly and play in a relatively intuitive user interface. The big reason why I bought this though was the wireless CarPlay function, the first observation I had was that this radio does not have a 5Ghz Wifi radio, which will limit wireless CarPlay audio/video quality a bit, and make connection speed a bit slow.The other thing I will point out, on initial setup, this unit does not go to CarPlay/Android Auto, you need to launch the Z-Link app every time you get in your car to make this feature work. This can be fixed by going into the factory settings and setting the unit to launch the z-link app on start up. I set mine up this way and within 30 seconds my CarPlay is linked running, its *a little bit* slow, but the automation aspect makes it really nice.My biggest gripe is the display, the touch screen is actually relatively responsive, but the brightness of the panel is lackluster. Its completely fine in the evening/at night/early morning. But on a bright sunny day it can be a bit hard to see, especially if you have polarized sunglasses on. The resolution being 1024x600 isn't a deal breaker, and at this display size its kind of hard to notice, but the brightness really could use improvement. Honestly the display panel looks identical to the first generation ebay Prime 7 inch tablet.
