Double Din Car Stereo Radio Wireless CarPlay & Wireless Android Auto, 7in Touchscreen Car Audio Receiver with Bluetooth,Rearview Camera,AM/FM, GPS Navigation,Mirror Link,Subwoofer,USB/AUX/SWC

USE CASE: Old truck, was playing audio from my Android phone, looking at directions on it, etc. I wanted an upgrade. Saw a YouTube video to put a double din dash into 99-2006 GMC / Chevy truck using a Metra dash and wiring harness. I went for it. I put a before/after so you can see the difference it made for me (I had already pulled the dash off before the first picture.PROS:Sound Quality - I was barely getting sound out of 2/4 door speakers with original radio. After replacement, I get easily double the sound from the factory speakers.Installation - Although the instructions that came with the dash were subpar, the video on YT was amazing. I had no issues, size was what it was supposed to do. First time I pushed it in the dash and turned the truck on, it started right up.Included hardware - The dash itself is awesome. responsive touchscreen with no complaints on resolution. You will have to turn down the brightness at night if your time settings are not correct (it auto corrects when time is set). My initial thought was that the volume buttons on bottom should be a wheel instead of buttons. However, for longevity's sake, I'm glad they did buttons. Wheels always seem to break for me, so buttons should be good. Microphone is able to be hidden around dash and sideboards and I've had nothing but praise from sound from it. GPS shows speed accurately from my dash but honestly, I don't use it much because I'm on Android Auto mostly. I have not installed the rear camera for time's sake, and I really don't care to use it. Installation-wise, it would be the most daunting piece from everything I've seen.Software - Awesome. Hands down. Connected Android Auto easily. I will say that about 10% of the time I turn the truck on, it does not auto connect to the phone. I just have to turn the dash off and back on and it works. Again, at this price point, it is not a bad convenience at all. The factory settings have an EXTREMELY annoying beep on button presses (one of the other review videos shows it). The first settings I changed were to turn those off. The buttons on the bottom front have configurable led lighting so you can change them to whatever you want. The color wasn't great for reds hues but blue/purple look great.TLDR - Easy installation, feature-rich software, you will not regret taking this dash over other double dashes on the market. I was looking at paying an extra $200-300 for name brand stuff that was 5-8 years old. This thing works, turn off the beep in settings! Take a shot. Good luck!"OK Google, text my wife that I've finished writing the review"...

This was a replacement for a different cheaper brand I purchased previously that had a screen that was going out. This system was easy for me to install because I had the same type of stereo previously, so my installation was quick and simple. Here are my Pros and Cons:Pros:1.

From adjusting the display settings to configuring audio preferences, you can tailor the stereo to suit your preferences.6. Mirror Link: Saved the best for last! This is an option that my previous CarPlay system did not have. I would have upgraded just for this feature alone. Works great!Cons: Not really any at this point, however...1. Price: The cost of this double DIN car stereo with wireless CarPlay functionality may be higher compared to traditional car stereos. However, the added convenience and features justify the investment.Overall, the double DIN car stereo radio with wireless CarPlay functionality offers a convenient and feature-rich solution for enhancing your in-car entertainment experience.
