AKAMATE Bluetooth Car Radio: Single Din, In-Dash Audio Receiver for Your Vehicle

Seth Comire: Gone are the days of installing new car radios. I look back fondly of the 90s and early 2000s but have to admit replacing car stereos are a pain now. My 2 sons both have cars without touchscreen so this was not only the easiest solution but also the least expensive. I tried it out a few times and my iPhone synced up very quickly. The touchscreen is responsive and the color is vivid. I highly recommend this product.

OnederOneder: This is something that I’ve wanted for so long. And for the price it is great. My 2017 vehicle is one year shy of CarPlay being standard. It’s great for the price.

Arnold: The media could not be loaded.  Let's start with the value of this product. Out of the many products out there that do offer a variation of hardware specifications, this one hit the nail on the head, for me. The price was right for less than $80 bucks is a win👍🏻
The product does not have a funky brand name like other competitors. The product is well packaged 📦 👌🏻 You can definitely feel quality of the mount and the device itself.

The software is well put and organized. Screen brightness is on point even on direct sunlight. It has built in speakers if you can't connect the device to your car speakers via Auxiliary cable or bluetooth. However, it does support fm transmitter, useful for much older vehicles.

Touch screen response can have some delays but not so much, most time it is responsive. Andoid auto/carplay as intended works great!

Amazon Customer: The screen worked great day 1
Day 2 the screen was glitching
Day 3 I put it back in box for return.
Day 30 it's still in its box an no longer eligible for return....if you're anything like me ...you just want your stuff to work and live up to what you paid for bc your just to busy with every day life and no time for extra stuff like returning something that just wasn't worth hitting the purchase now button...save yourself 70 something dollars and just keep scrolling. This product is a flop and if you do purchase it...do your self a favor and don't write a review until after owning it for at least a week.

Alicia AndrewsAlicia Andrews: I bought this radio because I wanted something inexpensive that would potentially be subject to the elements, installed on a golf cart.
For the price, the build quality is better than I had expected. Switched on, it does run quite warm (guessing power regulation) even if it's not playing anything.
Display is too dim to be seen in direct sunlight, but shaded with a hand it's legible.
Clock that sets itself to the radio signal is a nice touch (requires antenna). FM reception on a small twin dipole antenna stuck to the plastic canopy of the cart is modest. MPX hiss is present on even the strongest local station; selecting MONO provides clear FM. AM reception surprisingly good during the day.
Bluetooth connected to an iPhone and Samsung Android phones without any issues, audio quality is good.
In terms of power output, "real world" it sounds to my untrained ears about 8 Watts per channel which is significantly better than I had expected.
I would give it 4.5 stars but I can't do that, so simply for the value it leans to 5- based upon the assumption it's never going to win any soundoffs because it's not designed to. If you want a basic, but good value...
