We live in a rural area that only gets two radio stations on a good day, and we wanted something that we could stream some music on, use Google Maps, etc. It was $29.99 and we have Prime so no shipping, and it came quickly. After removing the old radio, we looked at the directions and the diagrams provided and we were able to get it connected it pretty easily. The reverse camera was an added bonus as I hadn't realized it came with that but after a little bit of cussing and a couple of Utube videos we got it connected and working. (I will note that depending on your vehicles wiring, this can be really easy or it could be a mess, I am not great with anything much more than finding the ground and matching the colored wires and luckily ours was fairly straight forward) The blue tooth paired with both our phones easily, the AM/FM stereo works but we don't ever really use it, the camera comes on when backing up, and the stereo sounds good. We did connect it to the speakers that we had installed previously, but if you just connect it to your factory speakers it is going to sound just like your car radio does. The equalizer is a nice feature to get your sound balanced and optimized. The mirroring works, you just hook your phone up and whatever you have on your phone you can view on the stereos larger screen. It would be handy for camping or for the little one's to watch I guess, that is a feature that we don't really use either, because this vehicle is used for a commute. All-in-all I am satisfied with this little stereo; the features work, it was easy to install, and it does what we need it to do. For $30.00, I would purchase it again

Great radio for the price it was simple not a great touch screen but it works and for the price it makes an older car look and feel a little fancy

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy, better options out there for a few more bucks, read latest update

Double Din Car Stereo with Backup Camera, 7 Inch Touchscreen Car Radio Bluetooth Support Mirror Link, Hands Free Call/FM/TF/USB/EQ/Aux, Multimedia Car Audio with Steering Wheel Remote/Fast Charging - $39.99 at time of reviewUpdate 2/4/2023 - I have had this stereo installed since Nov 2022. Started out as an OK cheap option but started to find problems over time. 1. It's doesn't actually support android / apple car play. It uses an uncertified app to mirror your phone which only works on android phones if you enable debugging mode. It does not work on newer iphones. 2. It's radio reception is not that good. 3. The sdcard slot doesn't always work. 4. The unit started to randomly lose it's settings. 5. And the most recent the backlighting went out so I can barely see the interface. There are better one and better supported ones for $50 more. $100 may sound like a lot but compared to what you waste with this unit, it's worth saving up the additional $50 to get a better unit.Udpate 12/11/2022 - I reduced the star rating to a 3 as I have come to find the radio reception is poor on these units. Even local stations keeps cutting out while driving around.If you are looking for a fancy but cheap touchscreen car radio, this is for you. The touchscreen is responsive. The sound is really good and better than a lot of the Brand name cheap radios. It's default setting can get nice and loud. Audio settings allows for dynamic location adjustment with a grid and dot to move where you want the sound in real time. It has a Loud setting which doubles the sound output loudness with a good tone for those with more premium speakers. It has hands free bluetooth phone calling. I didn't install the included external MIC as it has one on the player which worked really well. I made some calls while driving and the other side stated they could hear me fine. The phone calls plays through the speakers and sound clear. Micro SD slot is a nice touch that you can fill with MP3's or movies. Both worked well on the device. Backup camera was clear and a nice touch; however, I was only able to test it as the provided cable was not long enough to run to the rear of my vehicle. Those with midsize and larger vehicles may have the same problem. Provided instructions just go over the basics. It does not explain how to connect your phone to your car for the "android auto" or "apply car play". I had to search the internet for the model to get instructions.For new versions of IOS, this unit does not support your phone. For Android users who have work phones that are company controlled, this may not work for your phone. In order to connect your phone and mirror it to the unit it requires you to install an uncertified apk file outside of the play store. It also requires that you turn on USB debugging. These are both huge security issues and not worth the risk. I downloaded and tried every Hi-Link style app on Google play store and none would work with this unit. If you really want Android auto/Apple car play invest a little more in a unit that actually supports those and not using some work around to make it seem like it does.Steering wheel controls didn't work. They also don't provide instructions on how to even work that in the settings. Found instructions on the internet searching the model. No matter what I did, I couldn't get them to work so I just disconnected the wire.So why 4 stars? Because for it's current cost it's still a great unit and still better than cheaper non touch screen radios. If they raise the cost, you can start subtracting stars for every $10 increase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yeah it's cheap but works good in my Saturn and honestly wasn't trying to spend a boatload of money

So as you can see it's definitely a cheap brand but works well it's pretty straightforward on the instructions and if you've ever done a basic wiring harness before it makes sense match the colors one by one sound quality is decent could be better but again it was only 30 bucks remote works great and pairs with the radio and is also super adaptable to fit on your steering wheel so you can use it while driving without causing a distraction doesn't have Smart play but that's fine Bluetooth works amazing and also has support for reverse camera pretty straightforward to set that up as long as you follow the diagram and give you. It is touch screen and the display is pretty bright so be wary of that when setting it up

3.0 out of 5 stars Best deal for this price

Overall - I’m satisfied. I kept my double din and touchscreen, but sacrificed some sound quality. But this unit gets the job done, I haven’t had a stereo in the car in months so it’s very welcome, especially for the price! Can’t wait to see how it plays video from the sd card. Screen mirroring is ok, no interactivity though. Bluetooth drops sometimes but getting it back is easy. Sound quality is decent, if you want better get an amp or a better unit. Touchscreen can be a little flaky sometimes but overall it’s fine. Graphics aren’t the best but it works. Antenna isn’t very powerful but I mostly listen to streaming on Bluetooth. Sound quality is WAY better when cabled in. Never hooked up camera or steering wheel controls so can’t comment on that. Took a chance in a very inexpensive unit and it paid off - now I have something until I get something else.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great buy excellent for the money.

Lots of stuff for the money, works great, and sounds better than I expected with factory speakers, a 300 watt sub and a memphis Amp. Haven't hooked up the back up camera, and I advise using the external Mike, as the one in the machine doesn't pick up very well.

the Item they send it is so old model
