Lasted 6 months
Update: the company contacted me after my review and worked to make the issue correct. I’m pleased with the customer service I received after my first review.My daughter loved this for her 2008 Toyota Highlander. We had it the backup camera professionally installed so no wires were sticking out and honestly mom and dad just could not get how to do the install ourselves. We loved the front and back camera. Picture quality was great. Fm transmitter quality was ehh but she could deal with it as it was the only negative she found with the unit. The device made an older car up to date, then four months after the purchase and install the backup camera would randomly stop working. We took it back to the installer and he checked the connections and made sure nothing came loose. We ended up buying another backup camera off of Amazon, connected it as the installer said we should (left the existing wiring there and basically did a swap out) and the camera worked fine so it was definitely the camera. Not a huge deal as we got this unit on sale and we were able to purchase a new camera pretty reasonably priced. Then a month later (5 months after we purchased the device) the unit would just randomly stop working. She is in the middle of a drive with her GPS displaying and listening to music and it just stopped. She would have to unplug the main cord to the unit, wait a few minutes, then plug it back in and it worked. Very much an annoyance when you are using a GPS but for an 18 year old she is very patient and dealt with it. Late last week the unit will not power on. Very disappointed in the product. Tried to reach out to the seller but never heard back. I guess bec it’s been 6 months they are not going to stand behind their product. It was great when it worked. I would not recommend this product based on the life span does not warrant the money or the time you put in to install the product correctly.

Works Great but a few fixable issues.
The unit looks good and works great for the most part. Easy solution to getting android auto in your car.I like the wide screen for maps and whatever app on android auto I'm running.And the front and rear cameras are a plus so I don't have to add a separate front dash cam system. Haven't got the backup camera hooked up yet but am excited it has the option.I found that using the aux cable drops the sound by more than half and the base and mid channels drop a lot as well. I don't think this unit has any sort of amplifier output through the aux. I tried a few different cables with the same outcome. I connected the FM transmitter and that worked much better than the aux cable. I have a bluetooth transmitter that connects through my aux port and it works awesome, loud and clear, but this units aux out is weak.But I found a solution to it's weak aux output. I added a Portable HiFi 3.5mm Headset Amplifier (https://a.co/d/1p0DL9W) and a ZIOCOM Ground Loop Noise Isolator (https://a.co/d/fWHx0z3) between the unit and amplifier and now I get loud clear music with a full range of base and mids. Just wish the unit would have a better aux out so I didn't have to add other components, hence the 4 stars.Occasionally the android auto doesn't connect which is annoying but I just restart the unit and it eventually connects.Overall I would say it's simple to use and a good unit. Saved me from all the complicated wiring of new stereo which would cause me to loose some functionality of the existing one. So I would recommend this unit with a few tweaks.

Good bang for your buck
The screen is heavy which I equate to quality and the resolution is bright and clear. Really nice and it is easy to use. Wireless CarPlay works great and screen mirroring works well (copyright stuff prevents Netflix and Disney but Plex and YouTube work great). It’s pretty simple to use and nice to have a screen to display my map instead of my phone which is what I wanted. For the price it’s worth the purchase. I don’t use it for music so I can’t comment on sound but it’s cool that my phone can not only be connected to this in CarPlay but still stream Bluetooth music to my truck radio.

Not working after 10 months
The first 10 months were great! It did everything we wanted it to do and was awesome on road trips. Then one day a couple of weeks ago we get in the car and it wouldn’t turn on. I checked the power cable to see if I could just replace it but that wasn’t the issue. The cable plug in has a built in light to let you know it has power. So then I went and tried to turn it on with the power button and nothing would happen. So I hate to say it but I wouldn’t buy this product. I relied on it for daily driving and now it’s just a black screen sitting on my dash.

Perfect Upgrade to Car
The media could not be loaded. I was skeptical buying something like this for my car but am definitely satisfied!! I’ve been wanting Apple CarPlay but am not willing to go out and take on a mortgage, considering the price of a new vehicle, for a new car that it comes standard in.It was super simple to set up. I love that I can use the Microsoft SYNC (Bluetooth) feature that comes in my car. My phones connects right to my car as usual and connects right to this device for CarPlay. Never have any issues with it connecting.I’m someone who doesn’t like things to look messy so when it comes to the power cable, I did pull a few interior trim pieces to hide the power cable. I did not install the backup camera though. My car already has that feature.One tip for anyone who buys this, make sure to go into the device settings and turn in the screen saver and/or make sure to power it off or unplug it from the power source. If not, you’ll come out to a dead battery. The cigarette lighter spots in my car that you would plug a charger into still work even if the car is turned off. So the device is pulling power constantly unless it’s powered off or unplugged. So if your car is similar, take my advice.
