Review on Upgrade Your Ride With The 4+64G Android Car Stereo For Honda Civic 2006-2011: Wireless Carplay, 10.1 Inch Touchscreen, GPS Navigation, Backup Camera, AM/FM Radio, And More! by Jeffrey Crutcher

UPDATE: Threw it away

UPDATE: After the unit reset itself several times (deleting all the music, settings, and apps), and after the default navigation couldn't seem to keep up with the speed of the car, and after the clock would sometimes take several minutes to pull up the correct time, and after the unit wouldn't play any sounds for several minutes then suddenly spring on, I pulled the unit and threw it away. The worst, most sluggish, cheapo dash tablet ever. Save yourself the money and trouble.I was going to call this review "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly".The Good:I am only using this for a radio and music player, as the original CD in my 2006 Civic died and I was tired of tethering to a phone. This head does radio and plays music well and I think it sounds at least as good as the OEM radio/CD. I ditched herewego maps for Google maps. Installation was fairly straight-forward. You do need to unscrew everything from the original dash panel, like the hvac controls, the hazard lights, etc, and reattach them to this new panel. You also need to grab all the dash clips from the old panel and put them on the new panel.UPDATE I got the reverse camera installed and it works wellThe Bad:The lack of user manual is frustrating. It was a lot of trial and error finding settings and loading music into this thing. There are two USB cords, but only one seems to do anything. There are dozens of settings in the Sound Effects/EQ but I have no idea what most of them actually do. The interface is SLUGGISH. I guess because it's QUAD-core with 1 GB of system RAM. Also, when you're playing a song from the main screen and then switch to the music app, it will sometimes stop playing one song and start playing another.UPDATE it will sometimes turn the radio app on after a couple of minutes for no reasonThe Ugly:It's missing a hole for the passenger airbag light. Crazy, right? I left the light connected, but shoved the light socket into the dash behind this panel. Odd that it doesn't have a spot. The unit is also pretty bulky. It sticks right out from the dash. I know it's supposed to be within reach of the driver, but it could be set back an inch or two and still be easily accessible.

2011 civic: I was a little worried when I saw the "instructions" but it was a pretty straight forward install. Watch a you tube video on taking the old dash out. I do wish there were some more options as far as screens and layouts and stuff. Overall a solid 4.5 out of 5.
