Let me paint a picture: I've been toying for a while with the idea of buying an aftermarket touchscreen radio for my 2005 Honda CR-V... until my battery died and I didn't have the code to reset the original radio. So here I am needing a new radio. After a bit of research on Amazon I came across this one. Cheap, good reviews, let's give it a try. My process was kinda rushed, so I had no idea what the installation was gonna be like, nor what other things like "trim kits" were or wiring harnesses. I bought the radio alongside the recommended antenna adapter for my CR-V. Well, turns out I didn't need the antenna adapter, take note if you have the same car. I then proceeded to buy some quick crimp connectors alongside with the crimper/wire cutter tool. Ok, a bit more elaborate than I thought. Now, I do think I am quite a bit more handy than the average, but this was a first for me too. I removed the original stereo and unplugged the 2 wiring harnesses going into it and the antenna cable. Turns out that one harness was not needed at all. Good, less work for me. The antenna cable was good for the new radio too. BUT the next set of wires that went into the radio was going to be quite a bit of work. This is when I would have loved to know that there are such things as wiring harness adapters. They basically connect the wires that went into your old stereo and arrange them so that they'll work on your new radio. Plug and play basically. Unfortunately I can't tell you what wire harness works for you as I didn't use one. What I did do was cut the existing wiring harness to free all the terminals. I then stripped them all and crimped the quick connectors in place. One by one. Then I surfed the web to find a wiring diagram. Great, found one! Too bad that quite a few wire colors were wrong/mixed up, and to make it worse, some of the wires on the car were basically identical. I crimped the wire terminals supplied with the stereo and then connected the wires together looking at the diagram online and the booklet that came with the new stereo. First try, no luck, turned on for 2 second and then turned off. But at least it turned on. Turns out that it would have been nice to have a better diagram with he right colors. I switched a couple of wires and bam, the radio turned on, but the music only came from 1 out of 4 speakers. Not too bad. Switched some other wires and shazam! Music from all the speakers. Ok, great, now let me close everything up. Yeah, uhm, so that's what trim kits are for. Turns out that without trim kits you'll see the edges of the radios that should be hidden. Not ideal. Bought a cheap trim by Metra that was supposed to fit. Aaand, it didn't. Had to hack it and cut the frame short to make it fit, put some take to hide the cut and that's how it remains now. Still not the best fit, but good enough for me not to loose my mind when looking at it. All in all the process took me about 3 days having to work for an hour at a time as I didn't really have the time. If you truly take a whole day or weekend off and dedicate it to this project, you'll most likely make it work. That is if you're average in handiness. I don't really have the time to mess with the backup camera, yet, once I have more time I'll try to get into it. But it should be a fairly easy process. The audio is pretty good and I'm happy with it. The radio doesn't work in you're in CarPlay mode, and that's a bit of a bummer. CarPlay only works if you plug the phone in with a cable. I'm happy with the purchase and the process. My car looks a lot smarter now that I have the touchscreen. The installation problems were not due to the stereo itself, but rather because of the poor wiring diagrams from my older car. Your wiring diagrams might be spot on and make the process so much smoother. I'd buy it again.

Updated April 29: The seller contacted me to make things right. I’ve got to say, this company has great customer service. My radio was not functioning properly and the CarPlay and MirrorLink wouldn’t work. Along with that, the radio looked dated and not very good looking at all. However, the company reached out to me to send out a new unit. It came in 2 days and it’s honestly really nice. If you wire things up properly, you have yourself a really nice radio! The CarPlay looks decent, the mirror link works well, and the Bluetooth is also a nice feature. I really think they went above and beyond to make me happy and I really appreciate it from a customer standpoint. For the price, this radio is super nice. It may not be the absolute fastest and high resolution, but for the unbeatable price I feel like there is really no competition with big brands. If you’re looking to upgrade your stock radio, this is defenitely a good option. The only downside is that you need the right mounting trim if you care about looks, as well as a module for the wires, but that’s standard for all aftermarket radios out there. — Original Review: 1 stars Overall, the radio works. Backup camera won’t work even after taking it to a local auto shop that specializes in stereo systems. When i connect my phone to the USB, the radio just turns off and restarts which requires a full vehicle restart to work. The Bluetooth does work. The sound quality is surprisingly decent.. another issue is that I’m not sure what version I got of this radio, but all of the other reviews look different. there’s no button to change the user interface on the screen and it’s stuck with portrait photos of landscapes, as shown in the video. Overall not too bad if you just need a replacement but too bad that the CarPlay dosent work for mine.

As far as I can tell unit would have been nice for the price IF functional. When I received it I installed it and only the front right side would not work I rewired it several times checked to make sure the factory unit was still working and it was. Turns out after I got out a multimeter and tested the pins they were not receiving power causing everything to work except that. Taking a gamble when purchasing

Overall is a amazing product and works as should I bought this bevquse it was cheaper and I did not want to pull my old one out of my other Monte Carlo and I also bought it for the phone mirroring. It’s easy to install other then it being out of country so it’s not exactly just color to color. The screen mirroring works okay but not great. Connecting to it and using it is easy and simple along with the music controls the speed is normal no issues and it fits almost perfectly it took me 2 months until I realized the smallest gap in between it and the dash, again the connectivity is simple but a little complex it’s not all color to color if I’m not mistaken there green (should be ground) was there hot but if I had to choose again I would probably go to auto zone only because it had more useful features

I will prefice this by saying this unit does do what it says it can do. Android Auto works really well. I don't have Apple devices so I can't say for sure how car play does. Pros: Android Auto actually works and is surprisingly responsive Sound quality isn't half bad Cons: When using AA the USB ports on the unit do not provide enough power to charge your phone while connected. If going on a long drive expect your phone to die in the middle of it. I'm not sure if others have experienced this but AA has crashed and froze the unit several times, and god forbid you have loud music playing when it freezes, you will be stuck in a deafening loop of sound until you force the radio off (in my case the only way to stop this was to stop my car and shut it all the way off to kill the power to the unit.) The screen is like a mirror and in bright light is practically invisible. Even with night mode set it is way too bright at night, almost blinding. Its really surprisingly good for the price but my first two cons really ruin it for me, so I barely use AA and just do Bluetooth audio.

I waited a month to review. Cheaper radios did not last the across town test when playing videos on mp4, they would freeze up and I'd have to restart the car to restart the radio. Not this one! Every feature works! Excellent Screen!!!! It touches like my phone, like you can pinch on the map. When I plugged my phone in, it transformed to a whole new radio with android auto. It's everything advertized and some. Simple remote, cleaner sound than the cheap radios with no hum. Great backup cam! I no longer need to roll down my windows at night to back into my driveway, my tint is so dark I can't see, but the night view works wonders. The assist backup lines work day & night. Bluetooth is great! love the custom logo option, this was really important to use a factory logo to look newish stock but very up to date. The only glitch ever is the radio will sometimes come on for 3 sec, reset then work great afterword, but it's like once a week not everyday. The only quirk is if you are not on android audio the music will stop everytime you backup and will attempt to go into backup everytime the clutch cycles over reverse even if for a split second, it's sensitive but not a big deal at all to me. I think that's everything, I may upload a vid & a few pic. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this radio. I wish I had gotten the dash cam from them in the bundle. This is a shut up & take my money product and i've already recommended to a family member. 2024 update: I still love the radio but it makes loud hum only when cold outside, only for first 10 min or so when it's under 40°. It's not a big problem in Texas but up north may be an issue for some if it happens.

I was surprised to see the display was pretty up to date. I was expecting some low quality 2010s led Sound is good to. Has an equalizer and auto adjust. Car play works great. Screen touch has a delay. But for the price. I dont care. It looks great. Back to camera cable is to short for my suv. But for the price, I'll order an extension. Im happy as a kid in toys are us. It may not last long, but again last min cheap radio and this arrived. Im very pleased. Carplay isn't Bluetooth but for the price.

Bought this in Oct 2023, installed immediately, and it's now Feb 2024 - so four months. I haven't even tried to hook up the rear camera, and may never get to it. I've never tried to use the remote control (really, why would I need that?), and I don't know where it is. But as a screen for an old early 2000's pickup truck (a for-fun old beater, it is NOT my main commuter vehicle), it is simply great to have google maps working up there in the dash. My bluetooth connectivity might have stopped working to some degree... to connect it always used to ask for my phone to be plugged in, and then once it was plugged in I could unplug the phone and it would still communicate via bluetooth. It doesn't seem to do that anymore - but then I don't mind having the phone charging while I'm driving, so plugged in it is. Just the fact that it doesn't have a remote microphone for calls means that, while I can hear people on phone calls clearly enough, they can't hear me. So I have to put my phone on its own speaker function to take calls. So my five-star review is for the unit working as a Pandora / Spotify control unit, as well as displaying and working with Google maps (even though it's through an iPhone), where I need to plug my phone in every time (now, where-as I didn't have to do that before ... but this really may be me as I haven't spent the time to see if it needs paired again). For the money I spent on it, if that's all it does, that's perfectly fine. Five stars. If the unit was more expensive, then that would be not fine. Mated to two 3-way Pyle inexpensive speakers it is probably better sound than this old work truck came with in the early 2000's. Edit: January 2025 and it's still working as it always had.

En la imagen viene con cámara trasera, cables de video y control remoto. Los cuales hacen falta. La marca es distinta a la dicha.

after almost a year, no real issue, radio did get frozen up 2 time, resetted itself after few min while driving, or just power off/on vehicule it will do the trick. i Had to drill and cut the oem bracket of my hyundai accent 2010 to fit the radio. Fit almost unoticeable without any aftermarker dash radio cover. i didnt not install the rear cam. The radio synchronize within half a sec with my phone when powered up. faster then the entertainment system i have in my silverado 2024. for the price and the almost inexistenet problem i had. i would rebuy immediatly
