Grabbed by cavemen?

Comes in a transparent plastic bag. No box. The kit did not include a decorative ring, microphone, or bag of screws and fasteners. Just came with me, wiring harness and destruction booklet. Very disappointed with the packaging. Only installed because I need to look for parts to install it. I'll give exact performance estimates later. if it takes

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Some disadvantages

Great product fits car stereo

Welcome to 2021! Love it. Arrived in one day. Installed in 2 days. No problems installing. The screen is very clear and the audio settings suit my listening needs. The radios seem to work. I haven't really tested. But when I got in the car the technician turned on the radio and it sounded fine. Airplay worked as soon as I connected my phone. No programming etc required. No delay. Voice for Siri is dead. No questions asked. The reversing camera is clearly visible through the monitor. And I love…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other models

Costs money. good for car electronics

Firstly, the quality of the product is certainly solid. I recommend this product 100%. The value is correct. Android Auto worked well, although some cables didn't work. This issue does not apply to Apple. The touchscreen is similar to my phone in terms of sensitivity, and the operating system is fast and responsive, and it lacks the cheap, off-brand, toy-like aesthetic common to radios in such a budget price range, and I didn't have any problems with glitches . Screen Casting for Android also…

Pros
  • As far as satisfied
Cons
  • There is one minus point

Good stereo for the price but some issues/limitations

I bought this to replace an old Kenwood I put in my Corvette years ago. After months of research I settled on one without built in GPS/maps and settled on this one. I am not a professional installer but have installed over a dozen radios in various vehicles. That being said, here are some of the problems I found with it: 1) Android Drive is a disappointment. The interface is slow and lacking in some areas. This head unit contributes to the slowness for me. I miss this when trying to use the…

Pros
  • Certified

  • Something else

Top notch radio.

I bought another brand but ended up sending it back. Another brand of wire was about twice as thin as the Kenwood DMX4707S. The Kenwood wires from the stereo are labeled and the wires for the plugs are well documented in the manual making it easy to install. I installed this on a 2007 Dodge Durango SLT. This car had power and steering wheel controls from the factory. I had to remove the factory fitted plastic housings (6) of the screws and cut off about 3cm and then reinstall. I bought a Metra…

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • not reliable

That Darned Ole Delay

I got this a few months ago and I have to say the wiring was easy, fully supports steering wheel controls, also has a great bluetooth range, don't know why it matters, but that's great. the feature also has good rear camera view options as i have a s20 ultra please note that it does not reflect wifi although you need to connect a usb cable to the phone to make it work. Therefore, this function is useless for me if I don't have passengers who wish to watch YT. All in all, this is a great radio…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • There are flaws

Not even remotely intuitive design

installation was easy, I'll give it to her. Plus it's terrible once it's in place. And what's worse, they only include an installation guide, not a printed copy of the user manual. You have to download it so there isn't a neat little copy you can hide in the glove compartment for the poor guy to borrow your car and try to figure out how the stereo works. Having spent a lot of time in different rental cars, I'm aware of how many different touchscreen stereos work. It's so far from intuitive…

Pros
  • price
Cons
  • little things
