Key Features

• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto: Seamless wireless and wired connections allow safe access to maps, messages and media using Siri or Google Assistant while driving.

• Bluetooth calling with noise reduction: A dedicated Bluetooth chip, built-in mic and external mic port offer stable pairing and improved call clarity even at highway speeds.
• 7' IPS touchscreen and mirroring: A 1024x600 IPS screen with wide viewing angles supports wired screen mirroring so phone apps and maps display on the stereo.

Who It's For

This stereo is aimed at drivers who want modern smartphone features like wireless CarPlay and Android Auto combined with better sound than a stock head unit. It suits people upgrading an older factory radio who also plan to use navigation and hands-free calling regularly.

It is not ideal for buyers who need a camera included or those who require a plug-and-play install for an uncommon dash layout; some vehicles may need extra installation accessories and a few customers reported a mixed installation experience. Professional installation may be advisable for complex dashboards.
