Review on Corehan 7 Inch Touch Screen Double Din Car Stereo with Bluetooth - Android Auto and Car Play Compatible by Jesse Hughes

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Under $100 isn't bad, but don't expect too much.

Less than $100, not bad, just lives up to expectations. Suitable for replacing old head units in an older car. The download time is 17 seconds after turning the car key to the ACC position to play music through the radio. The loading time is 11 seconds for Android Auto after the PH-1 phone is connected to the displayed map. The on-screen response is not fast, but it is convenient. iPhone 7 (iOS 14.6) - Car Play works Pixel 3a (Android 11) - Android Auto works PH-1 (Android 10) - Android Auto (AA) works but finicky. You need to wait for the main unit (HU) to boot up and then connect the USB cable to start Android Auto. If AA does not start on the HU, you must turn off the machine and reboot the HU. Samsung S8 (Android 9) - not working, the phone recognizes that it is connected to the car, but the head unit keeps showing "Loading phone". see image. Build Quality: The I/O board is attached with 3 small screws. The circuit board had a screw hole cleaned when received, so the USB connector, microSD card slot and AUX-in had come loose. I opened HU and Gorilla glued in all the screws. But there will be a point of failure when connecting the USB cable, microSD card and AUX input repeatedly. see image. Minor annoyances: - No coverage when playing MP3s from microSD. - MP3s must be in the same directory - You cannot change the background image when uploading. Installation was easy for a 2005 Toyota Sienna with JBL and sat nav. - Power On Interface: B001BVKJ9E- PAC SWI-RC Steering Wheel Control Interface SWI-RC-1: B004HKBY8G- Voltage drop from 12V to 6V for factory rear view camera: B079M2YNVF- RCA Screw Terminals to AV: B08D3HSVNZ- Dash Kit for Sienna: B001E6X4VQ- " AUX IN" on the back of the HU, probably for the microphone input. The HU mic did not work with the cable attached. There was no microphone to check if it works MIC IN. - Be sure to program the steering wheel interface through the HU menu.
