Screen too dim - unusable

This is a well made unit, installation was easy although the single DIN chassis is quite deep so wiring can be tight depending on the vehicle. What is amazing is that there is only one USB port that the smartphone should use if you want Android Auto or Carplay, even the cheaper Sony models in the range have two ports. The screen resolution is low but it works well, the touchscreen is quite responsive. The critical flaw here is the weak screen and lack of brightness control, in the car on aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Very expensive

Need a brighter screen

Important The radio fits, clear sound, large screen, the screen is easily visible in the sun. It should be lighter. CarPlay, clean mic, excellent customization. Ok it fits my 85 f150 well but due to the single cockpit the display is hard to see through the light in the rear window. It's more like a TV in direct sunlight. You can't see shit. I like the skip button, I can see it. I love the radio and it works great. Paid wireless calling is now available in my Ford 85. It's easy to install if you

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Availability for exchange

Works great in a vintage Ford Econoline van

I have an 87 Ford Econoline converted for off-road/landing. I've been looking for 1 din screen units for a long time trying to find something that will fit on my van's dashboard. The space is tight and the range is perfectly vertical with a ledge at the top. Super uncomfortable. But this radio was perfect and I couldn't be happier. Words cannot express how unique this product is. I haven't found anything else that tries to provide dynamic screen mounts yet. Thankfully, Sony has also made aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Multiple customization options allow you to tailor the sound to your liking And with a built in 4 x 55w amplifier the music sounds clear even at high volume
Cons
  • Slightly dented

Works as advertised - very good sound with factory speakers.

Radio works, what else do you expect? Android Auto connects easily with no issues. The screen is a bit low resolution but easy to read, everything is crisp and big. As others have said, it's not very bright. I personally agree because I do NOT want the screen to distract me while driving. A few notes: 1. After installation, you can't install the top plastic cover that hides the mounting bracket? ? It does not fit when the front display is installed. I might be missing some puzzle magic here. 2:

Pros
  • Apple CarPlay - Easy access to the iPhone features you know and love just by speaking to Siri Music, maps calls and messages - all under your control
Cons
  • Some little things
