You get what you pay for.
Bought this on a whim considering the price, and the old adage holds true "You get what you pay for". This one is good for basic playing of CD/DVR-R music and movies and has both microSD and USB connections. Sadly, it reboots when you insert any SD or USB device larger than 8GB, although I have had limited luck using an old 16GB microSD card so far. I even tried to reformat both into older FAT and FAT32 formats to no avail. Have yet to get ANY MP4 video files to work, though to the device's credit, it does play MP3's fine. Interface leaves a LOT to be desired as playing a CD or MP3 file from SD or USB and going to home menu STOPS playback, limiting the usefulness of seeing on screen time and other features.Bluetooth is spotty at best, cutting out and disconnecting at will (I have an iPhone 5) when listening to audio from the phone, necessitating either a power down or reconnecting via my iPhone itself. Forget trying to get an old 30GB Video iPod to work on this - connection via USB crashes the head unit. It comes right back, but the first time I saw it I was worried I broke the thing. For the price and my purposes, it works ok. Bluetooth (when it works) does allow seeing the main menu to adjust settings.Free backup camera is a joke, ZERO documentation and my unit was DOA. I have enough experience with ICE installs to know what goes where, but the unit that comes with it has at best 18 gauge wire, making a solid ground and power connection dicey. Tried using test leads to see if there was a power issue, but even after verifying with a voltmeter, this camera failed to show anything on the display.Hoping a firmware update is available, but not holding my breath. This one is current as of Jul 2014, so likely the most recent, but will see if Azshine has any update for it. Might improve my assessment if they do and it addresses some of my issues.As I said in the beginning, you get what you pay for. Overall this is an improvement over my old CD player in the car, but not by much. Steer clear of this one if you are looking for something that works as advertised.

Not even worth the time.
You get a little less than you pay for. The GPS is hard to center, it usually shows you driving on parallel roads. Audio control is jumpy and inconsistent. Screen images remind me of old game boy graphics. A lot of the items on the screen are misspelled. (i.e. Ajdust, Sttings, Bluetooh). Some of the installation instructions were incorrect. Universal wire colors are not universal on this. Remote wire was orange, ground was white, illum was blue. Overall a very negative experience and in the end sold it on a yard sale site for 20 bucks. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because the camera is, surprisingly, pretty good quality.
