Customer service excellent. All issues resolved. Worth extra effort for great value.
Review updated below, had problems but the customer support is incredible and helped a lot, have left my original review in here, but appended with update at the bottom for full infoTLDR: It's good, I'm happy, does what it needs to, there are improvements that could be made but it's amazing for the money, the customer service is absolutely perfect, which is good because you'll probably need it, the instructions aren't right so it won't work 100% until they send you videos (or read below), but when you have that sorted it's great.ORIGINAL 1* REVIEW (04/06/2022):Received this a couple of weeks ago, finally got around to fitting it yesterday. There was a pack of 6 dome headed screws and 2 small black self tapping screws supplied, not the 10 countersunk screws that were supposed to be supplied according to the instructions. Makes it impossible to fit the mounting brackets, so had to replace with other screws I had knocking around. Fully wired up this unit but have had enough issues with it already that it is going back.I can connect via bluetooth to the device and play and control music on it, the sound is fine, also plays radio fine. However, the wireless Android Auto will not work, tried connecting via bluetooth and/or wifi together and individually, no joy.When I connect over bluetooth my phone (Samsung S21 Ultra, so hopefully modern enough for all the bells and whistles to work) notices it is connected via bluetooth to a device with wireless Android Auto and gives me a notification to tell me to press the Android Auto icon on the unit, however opening it on the unit does nothing, the unit is sat waiting for a connection and my phones notification doesn't change. Note, Android Auto works when I plug it in via the USB though, however I bought this specifically to use on wireless as I want to be able to charge my device on a fast charger at the same time.Also, I have completely wired up all the steering wheel controls and the instructions say you need to go to SWC in the settings menu to assign actions to the steering wheel controls, but having gone in every menu/submenu in the settings over and over again I can say without a shadow of a doubt the options aren't there on the unit I received at least.Having walked away from trying to sort this all last night and coming back to it again today to see if I can resolve it I considered that there might be something I need to select in the settings to enable the SWC settings menu. While going through the settings to turn things on/off I changed a setting from NTSC to PAL, I assumed at worst this would change the settings of the video output at the rear... Turns out it's the setting for the actual units display, which must be an NTSC display. So now when the unit boots I get the loading screen and after about 10% it obviously switches to PAL mode and the display blanks.I would have assumed that an option to essentially brick your device wouldn't exist, or hopefully not be in the main settings menu, maybe even behind some sort of password blocked admin menu or at a minimum a warning or an option to confirm the settings change. There is actually another factory menu in the settings menu that requires a passcode to get in it, I don't know why the brick your stereo option isn't buried deeply within that...I have absolutely no idea how to resolve this problem, there is a "RST" button on the front, I've tried pressing and holding this using a pin for 2/3/5/10/15 seconds with the ignition key on and off, tried pulling the plug at the rear of the unit to depower it, nothing seems to reset this setting. I've also tried plugging in my laptop via the USB hoping the unit will be seen as a USB device so I could see if I could remotely change settings, but it doesn't recognise it...I'm aware I'm partially to blame by changing a setting I shouldn't have, but really it shouldn't have been an option, plus I had a bunch of other issues before hand, so now I've just applied for a return, will go back to the previous cheap stereo I wasn't really happy with either!! Shopping again, maybe will need to throw down some proper money for a decent stereo...As far as my ratings go, I gave 2 stars to the touch screen because one other problem I faced before bricking it was the touch screen calibration menu didn't work, it brings up +'s to tap to calibrate the screen but at the end of the calibration it just brought up a frowny face and started the calibration again, turning the vehicle off didn't help, it just stayed in screen cal mode, had to unplug the unit to allow it to boot normally again. And for ease of installation you need to cut the wires from your current stereo and be electrically minded enough to understand what each wire does and crimp on bullet connectors to connect up this stereo as it doesn't run off the universal stereo connector you might get from Halfords etc.UPDATE (see attached pics relating to the below):Have been contacted by the seller and they sent me a replacement stereo for free, which this time actually included a cable going from the universal stereo connector to the one specific for this stereo, however the screws are still the wrong type and quantity of screws to actually mount it.Despite this I electrically installed the stereo again but still had the same issues regarding wireless Android Auto and SWC (steering wheel controls).Seller sent me some videos detailing the steps to get the Android Auto and SWC working. These videos gave more information which didn't match the instructions.Regarding the SWC, the instructions don't mention it, but you have to go to the following menus, Settings > Factory Settings > Password 123456 > Settings, THEN there is an option to calibrate the SWC. The instructions which you can see attached don't mention the factory settings menu or password required to get into it. After doing this the SWC now work.Regarding the wireless Android Auto, there are no instructions in the manual regarding the use of the wireless Android Auto, however the wired Android Auto works automatically when you plug in via USB. When you connect to the stereo over bluetooth you get a pop up on the stereo showing your phone is connected, you can play music over bluetooth, but if you select Android Auto on the display it says that for a wireless connection you have to connect over bluetooth, depite already being connected, and the notification on your phone shows Android Auto is available, and it tells you to continue you need to select it on the screen which you have done, but no matter what you do you can't get it to work...So, the video sent to me by the seller shows you need to connect to the stereo over wifi, then if you previously connected over bluetooth you need to unpair and then pair your phone again, when the pop up goes on the screen showing your phone is connected you have to actually tap on the text (so in the picture I have attached, I have to tap on the text "Jonathan's S21 Ultra"). You can't tap the icon or anywhere else, you have to tap on the text itself, if you do this Android Auto opens. If you don't do it and the notification goes away and you are connected bluetoothing music etc, you can't then just select Android Auto, you have to unpair and pair your phone again, or perhaps turn the vehicle off and wait a few seconds before turning it back on to get that pop up again.THIS ALL BEING SAID... Now when I turn my car on, my bluetooth finds the stereo, the pop up comes up, Android Auto on my phone enables the wifi and connects to the display over it (only for a connection to the stereo I assume, but it still uses my mobile data on my phone for actual data as that wireless connection obviously doesn't go to the outside world), I tap the text and I'm in Android Auto, which is where I'll be whenever I'm using the stereo. At an estimate, this all takes about 40 seconds every time I turn the car on. It seems to work nicely, sounds good and all my problems are resolved. I do agree with a lot of others, the display is a little laggy but absolutely usable, not really a problem, I've tried calibrating it, but didn't change anything. The first stereo I had I couldn't calibrate the touch, but the second one seems to work. Overall I'm happy with what I've ended up with, it does everything I want and works nice enough, it's no premium top end stereo but it's amazing for the money and with wireless Android Auto it's great. If you play a video on your phone (while parked) and have it connected wirelessly then there is audio lag, but you can connect over the wired connection and it's fine. I'm being picky because I have this in a campervan that I spend half my life in while away for work, so this is a heavily used item for me.All in all, 4*

Its OK, does the job and is as good as units costing 100 more. 3 star, but really 3.5
Good StuffIt's cheap, loads up fast(ish), and is overall quite responsive, it has Android Auto and the Apple system as well as Auto Link. It's not super hard to fit but if you haven't fitted a car stereo before you will need to get someone to fit it which should cost no more than £120 for the two hours or less that it should take. When you do have it up and running and you start using your sat nav, taking calls, and playing music or a podcast its all quite cool actually. Also, it really does transform the cockpit of your car or van - especially an older vehicle like mine. I would even suggest installing one to help sell your car. People want these things.Bad StuffThe touchscreen calibration function doesn't work although it hasn't hindered the operation of the unit because any function button I press does activate said function so it came calibrated. I have contacted the company and they have been quite responsive even offering me a new unit. But I'm not sure I can be bothered removing and installing another one and it's working fine for the most part. The internal clock resets to 00.00 every time I switch the unit on and off. A bit irritating, but not a deal breaker. The quality of the sound is totally fine. The graphic EQ is OK. The worst thing of all is the control touch buttons on the left side of the unit. Basically, they are useless and quite dangerous to try and use when driving. All virtual button head units suffer from this problem, so not specific to this unit. Fortunately, you don't really need them but it is very irritating that in my case with this unit the virtual volume control doesn't work. The next unit I get will definitely have an actual volume knob. If it weren't for that I would have given this 4 stars.In conclusion, I have given it 3 stars (but more like 3.5) which may seem like it's a poor unit. No, I'm just comparing it with more expensive units so its score isn't too bad at all. At under £200, it is worth it especially if you can fit it yourself. A friend of mine bought one for £120 and it is really bad in comparison to this one.
