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 just received this unit yesterday I just received this unit yesterday, but have had most of the day today to ty it out on the road and I have to say, I'm very pleased so far. For the very reasonable price, the unit came with a rear facing camera in addition to the two mounting options, micro SD card, gasket and custom startup logo upon request - and front camera of course. The unit seems well built and the screen, responsive, even with the factory screen film still intact. Customer service was great! They answered my questions and provided the file for the custom logo and directions for download within 30 minutes.

GBWe bought two of them and they are… We bought two of them and they are fantastic! They work BRILLIANTLY. We put them in a 2011 Mazda 3 and 2014 Acura ILX. They took a while to hook up because we hid wires as such. My friend did both cars and it took about seven total hours. Added pics of the finished product and some work during the process. That said, worked immediately out of the box. Newest firmware installed with Bluetooth, etc. Very professional box and presentation of the head unit. Through AUX we definitely noticed a slight hiss and did not get very loud. Through Bluetooth though - it worked so good it's not even funny. Sounded Amazing. CarPlay Box worked perfectly, dash and back up cams were flawless. Super snappy, easy to operate, voice "Hey, Siri" worked perfectly. Truly wireless CarPlay and the extra USB charging port in the charger was an amazing touch. Zero lag, zero issue. Love this thing!

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 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.
