Great Android Auto unit
I had bought a chinese Android radio and was pretty disappointed, this was worth every penny though. Wireless Android Auto works like a charm, the unit is very responsive and sounds very nice too it has everything you want and nothing you don't ..I like that the screen tilts, and can be adjusted up and down as well...makes it easier to fit into your car.

Great value for a nice aftermarket wireless CarPlay stereo
I've had it installed a week, and am really pleased with this stereo. Seamless wireless CarPlay integration, decent sound, a really nice 8 inch screen, and a volume knob. All for just over $200! Install was relatively easy - just get the right harnesses, connect the right wires, and you are good to go. You have to pay attention, but it is not that complicated or difficult. I would definitely recommend this.

"Almost" perfect, with one "GLARING" drawback
I put this into an 2002 Ford F150 pick up with a single DIN opening in the dash. Replaced a simple AM/FM radio with no screen, to an Apple Car Play stereo (via corded connection) with a HUGE screen... My old truck looks like a Tesla CyberTruck now with a awesome display. I primarily use the unit for Spotify radio and Google Maps, although the integration with my phone for contact lists also makes making a hands free phone call a breeze. Self install was a pretty straight forward, but you have to be comfortable with doing some wiring and keeping track of which wire goes to what. I find the screen easy to navigate and setup, driving using Google Maps has never been easier with the larger display and I absolutely LOVE the volume knob. I can't tell you just how much I hate the electronic volume control adjustments on touch screens or + and - buttons for volume. I've had it installed for over a year and no issues with it working what so ever. I would give this a 5 star if for one GLARING feature missing, and the pun is intended. When driving at night the screen is far, far, far too bright. Unless I just haven't been able to find it in the settings, there does not seem to be a way to easily adjust the brightness. I actually have a small towel I keep in the truck and use it to cover the display when driving at night. This is a major downside to this unit. I believe there are more user friendly options out on the market (perhaps even with an auto-sensing brightness function) but probably at a higher cost. Other than that drawback, I am completely satisfied with this unit and it works great in an old truck giving it a modern update.

Decent
Pretty decent radio. Only notice theres a delay swiping (left to right) on main screen (not using carplay). Other than that carplay works as it should. It has a few bugs only does it when it wants to but once you turn off n turn back on the vehicle its back up working to 100%

Scam product
I bought this to go in my grandfather's 1995 F-150 that I'm having restored. Just got it back yesterday and tested this stereo for the first time. Android auto is NOT wireless, as the listing claims (yes, I bought the right one) and not only that, Android Auto actually doesn't even work at all, because the USB ports don't recognize any device other than for charging. And yes, I tried multiple data cables, including the ones used with my other cars that actually DO have functional Android Auto. This unit clearly just has the icon, but not the guts. And now it's too late to return it, so I'm out $210 for a piece of garbage giant screen in my truck that looks stupid because I can't even use it for maps as was intended. Don't buy this garbage.

Hard to beat for the money
I bought this to replace the $70 generic floating head unit I bought last year, which I really only did to see if I could teach myself to wire in a modern head unit and reverse camera to a 30 year-old car. I could, and that unit worked fine for a few months, but it increasingly struggled to recognize when my phone was plugged in, the display was bad, etc. You get what you pay for. This unit is WAY better. But still, you get what you pay for, so the sound quality may not be enough for true audiophiles. But it's more than good enough for me. The screen is sharp and clear, I've seen other reviews suggesting lag but mine has none - my big test is scrolling rapidly through songs in Apple Music. This unit has no problem doing that & will play whichever song you finally stop on, while the generic unit didn't have the processing power to keep up. My only caution is that a 10 inch screen is BIG. Make sure it fits your car. Mine fits the dash just fine, and doesn't block the vents, BUT I had to make a small modification so that I could use my parking brake normally. Otherwise it's really great, with good sound quality, a good screen, and an actual volume knob, which you want - trust me. My last one didn't & forced me to press the screen a dozen times to crank the volume up or down. This really modernizes an older car. One of the best purchases I've ever made.
