I kinda bought this on a lark to see if it could improve -- and make safer -- driving our 2009 Camry, especially for my kids who are learning how to drive. I also bought a license plate mount for the backup camera, and I bought a different kind of mount for the head unit so that I could hook it into my AC vent (getting it to stick to my dashboard was not going to work longer term with a car that sits outside in the Texas summers). Long story short, it connected to my phone almost immediately, and it works very well with Android Auto. And the backup camera is also very good (my wife was impressed with the image and said it is better then the built in backup camera in her Honda CRV). So, overall, very happy to rate it 5 stars. Assuming it holds up, worth the money spent and time it took to setup and install. Here are some specific pros and cons and considerations: Pros: * It does what it says it will do and it does it at a very reasonable price. * Very bright, crisp images on the screen. Cons (these are all minor): * Touch screen seems an iota slow. Not terrible, just about 1/5th of a second slower than my phone, for comparison. * Built in speakers are OK, but not great and certainly not built for high vol. * Cord for the backup camera was about a foot short for how I wanted to route it, but it was long enough to route it under my front seat (which was my second choice). * Instruction manual gets a B-. Far better than most instructions manuals coming out of China, but could be better. Considerations: * Backup camera installation is not hard if you know what you are doing and are comfortable pulling wires through cars, etc. There are some good videos on YouTube. Watch them carefully and think through how you are going to do it before you start. If you have the correct tools and are comfortable doing this kind or work, should take you about an hour at most. * You likely will need to drill a small hole for the backup camera wire. Be thoughtful about how to do that (there may be two walls you have to punch through), and use grommets or tape to make sure the sharp edges where you drill the hole don't eventually slice through the wire's insulation from the vibration of driving. * Also have about 10 small 'zip ties' for securing the wires so they don't get pinched some day. * As noted above, I do recommend a different way to mount the head unit than what comes with the system, and a different camera mount. * Lastly, you are going to have some cables running to the unit, so have a plan to manage them so they are not in your way while you drive and become a hazard or look unseemly.

So I bought this for my work truck about 5 months ago. It's okay, works as intended except one HUGE problem. The wireless Android Auto constantly disconnects. Sometimes it'll work fine for a few minutes and then lock up... And then reconnect on its own after a few minutes. Or it'll lock up and disconnect from the phone. Rebooting (by unplugging the power cord and plugging back in) it always fixes it. Happens randomly driving around town and in rural country. Happens morning, noon, and night. It's a huge pain while using Google maps, I missed so many turns! I troubleshot it for months and finally gave up (thought maybe something interfering in the truck or maybe an issue with my phone); now I just use it for Bluetooth streaming cause it stays connected flawlessly for basic Bluetooth streaming. And I know the issue doesn't stem from my phone because I've tried multiple phones. I even took this unit out of my work truck and put it in my dad's car and the same issue continues! And it's so random... once in a while it'll work for 30 min straight and then start locking up/ disconnecting. But mostly, it starts within the first five minutes of driving. And I use wireless Android Auto in my Mazda CX30 with absolutely no disconnects whatsoever in that car. I've used Android Auto in rental cars with no issues. Update: The company reached out to me; I was a little surprised. They offered to send a replacement unit. I received that a couple days ago and so far it's been solid with no disconnects. So it appears the issue was just just hardware... We'll see how it works over time and I'll update this later. Been a week and still no issues. It works as I always hoped it would now and for the price, it's such a value. Read more
