Taylor walker: The screen quit working just after the return window and it is a huge waste of time and money. 10/10 would NOT recommend!! The cheap brackets that came with it wouldn’t fit my truck dash and had to modify the old ones to fit. It is very cheap made and wouldn’t buy again for sure.

acdman: TLDR version: It's pretty great all things considered, but it's very cheap and there are some caveats.

I just put this in my 2004 GMC Canyon and feel responsible to respond to several of the complaints about that unit. Overall I am satisfied, especially for the price. But I have a couple of words to the wise.

1. I had several issues with the front USB port cutting out Android Auto, as another reviewer has mentioned. I resolved this issue by running a USB extension cable to the back USB port and haven't seen the issue since. Having said that, Apple Carplay only works for me on the front USB port, so buyer beware.

2. Others have commented that they cannot adjust system settings such as the equalizer while in Android Auto or Apple Carplay. On my unit you can do this by hitting the Menu button (fourth button down) in the top left corner, and then navigating to the settings screen. The Home button will take you back to Apple or Android after a click or two.

About the unit itself, installation was fairly easy, but I already had a vehicle specific harness installed.

The sound is at least up to the quality of speakers that came...

WesleyG: After using for about 8 months now, I'd say this stereo really isn't worth getting even just to save some money. I got it strictly to use with Android Auto, and it does do that, but it doesn't do it well. The USB port is really shifty, I've tried multiple cables and no matter what, the slightest movement of my phone causes it to disconnect. And whats worse, if the phone connects and disconnects too many times in a short period(like when you're wiggling the cable trying to get it to seat properly) the whole stereo will just freeze and the only way to get it unfrozen is to turn off the car, or use a small pin to push the "reset" button on the front. The same goes if you want to use the USB port to charge something that isn't a phone. I tried using the port to charge some bluetooth headphones, for example, and the whole stereo locked up. Android Auto aside, the radio function works, and so does connecting a phone via Bluetooth, but again none of that works well. Bluetooth is sometimes choppy, like a CD skipping. The whole radio interface is awful, normal functions like "seek" and "track" aren't there, just symbols with no label. Since it didn't come with any real...

Obi: I was a bit skeptical before I bought this stereo because I did not know what to expect. So glad I took the decision to purchase it because it’s giving me everything I want. The sound output is fantastic, the camera works well, the touchscreen is awesome and it also has some other features I don’t need. Great value for money considering how much I paid for it. Nice!!
