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.

GBFirst off First off, this is absolutely worth the price I paid. Any cons below are all minor and I still would recommend this unit to anyone. Support was great i responding with my request for firmware and logo update. I am using the aux cable out to my system and sound is as good as anything else I have hooked up. I cannot speak to the aux cable out to my system and sound is as good as anything else I have hooked up. I cannot speak to the FM or Bluetooth connectivity to the unit from my phone has been stable and connects every time but does take a bit (but less than a minute). I am using the CarPlay feature, and it works great.

GBLet's start off by saying that for a… Let's start off by saying that for a fairly inexpensive device, this one delivers. I drive a 2008 Jeep Wrangler with a softtop year-round, so I didn't want to sink upwards of $1000 into an in-dash receiver with carplay. So these jumped out at me as an acceptable compromise. I get CarPlay, which is all I wanted, and a nice wide display. The display is crisp and clear, making the device readable at a glance while driving allowing you to focus on driving.

I'm surprised and how much I like it. Easy setup and installation. Its pretty much plug and play and connects easily to the phone. I didn't hide any wires but did do some cable management. The android auto connects within a few seconds on its own and after loading Waze the first time it automatically starts there which is nice.
