GBBIG LET DOWN AND FAILURE I was stoked to buy this and had high hopes it would be amazing. Forget customer support. No response to my emails. Imagine they wait out the 14 day warranty so you are stuck with it. Big let down and NO help from support. It constantly disconnects from Bluetooth. The software is not smooth and fluid like on your phone. The biggest problem!! The audio through your car speakers sounds horrible. Nothing but feedback and static, can’t enjoy any music. Tried the Aux cable and Bluetooth, FM transmitter. Either way nothing but horrible noise that can be heard through the music. Doesn’t matter Pandora, Spotify, Apple Music all get the same results. And yes I have have other Bluetooth FM transmitters that do not do this, they just don’t have a screen.

GBI wanted a back up camera in my 2009… I wanted a back up camera in my 2009 BMW 128i convertible. There are many units on the market, but I didn't want to modify my dashboard to install one. This monitor/back up camera was perfect for my needs. My son removed my car seats and fed the wiring from the front to the back. The camera is nearly invisible as it's installed on the Trunk Lid Lock Release Push Button Handle (for which he needed to drill a small hole.) The screen is attached to my dashboard with the included sticky patch. (I didn't want a hole drilled there.) installation took about 4 hours including putting seats back (and me taking advantage of the situation to shampoo the rugs and vacuum every square inch of interior and trunk). I've used the monitor/camera for nearly 3 months and it works perfectly every time. The front and back cameras are clear and sharp. I use Google Maps with Spotify and voice commands to control the unit, including sending dedicated text messages.

GBI bought this as a gift for my… I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend's upcoming birthday in October. He has a 2015 Kia Optima, but it doesn't have any sort of smart screen at all. He's wanted one so badly, in fact he's looked at other cars just to have this feature. I've considered getting a third party one installed for him, but the unit itself that we looked at was over $500, not including installation. I couldn't justify that amount, especially since we aren't sure how long he will have the vehicle. I saw an ad on instagram for a similar product and gasped because I didn't know such a thing existed! An "external" car play unit? For 1/4 the price?? What could be better! I never buy off of social media ads but this one looked trust worthy. The size was especially appealing because not only is it technically bigger, but I love how it isn't as tall. My boyfriend's dash is pretty high as it is, so this lower profile unit will be perfect to not obstruct his vision too much.

GBI wanted to leave a quick update since… I wanted to leave a quick update since some folks in other reviews said they had issues after two weeks, etc. I can report for both of our cars, ZERO issues. None. They work just as they did the first day we purchased them :-). We were able to modify the grid lines for the backup cameras (lol - I noticed in the first pic I posted last month it looked like our car was going to float into the sky hahaha). All kidding aside, though, these are super legit units.

GBI received this product last week and… I received this product last week and so far, I am satisfied with the quality, ease of installation, and usefulness of the product. Installation of the main unit was simple and straightforward. It linked with my iPhone without a problem. The only tricky part was the installation of the rearview camera due to the wiring. While the manual had easy to use instructions in general, I wish there was more guidance related to the installation of the rear camera. Fortunately, I was able to find videos online which described the process in more detail.
