SOUNDKITS Double Din Car Stereo Receiver: 7 Inch HD Touchscreen Car Audio with Bluetooth – LCD Capacitive Monitor | Mirrorlink | Live Rearview Camera | USB/SD/AUX Input | AM/FM Car Radio | Subwoofer

excellent product

My previous Grand Caravan radio had intermittent reception. Make sure you get a wire harness and double DIN installation kit for your vehicle. The wire harness is all color coded and I used small wire nuts to match all the wires. When I first installed it it wouldn't turn on. Then I took the red wire from the radio harness and connected that with the two yellow wires and then it works. Don't connect both red wires, it'll screw up your dashboard display. But I have to manually shut the radio off. Plenty loud, I have an SD card with thousands of songs on there. Radio reception is great now. Nice display. Bluetooth connect is easy. I haven't connected the rear camera yet. But found a YouTube video that shows how. I don't think I'm going to use the steering wheel controller because the radio is easy to adjust.

I've been in contact with the seller about some of the problems thus deck has and gotten nowhere. For starters there's a twist to it. The left side fits perfectly, but the right side has a gap from the twist. They tell me to use the frame piece to correct this, but the frame piece will not fit in the factory mounting position. The steering wheel remote works about 30% of the time, if that. The Bluetooth connects fine, but after awhile the music cuts out even though I have full signal on my cell phone, connected to the stereo. The seller blames this on buildings and other crazy things in the area. I'll probably end up putting my old stereo back in that didn't have any of these problems and fits perfectly. One last thing, the font is to small when using Bluetooth for music. I wear glasses and have to stare at the screen for a second or two to be able to read it. This is fine and dandy when parked, but while driving this can be dangerous. There is no way to adjust the font size either. Save yourself some time and frustration and pass on this one.

What I like about the product is that it is easy to afford and install. The main thing to consider was having the stereo at the right spot to move the volume knob. One thing my father and myself realized after installing it with the product-supplied brackets. Is that they were too small and unfitting for the correct stereo/frame alignment. We fixed it later that day and realized that you need to use the “stock-stereo brackets” from the previously removed stereo in order to have the proper frame-alignment because the ones that are supplied with the product were too small and left a huge gap between the stereo and the dash frame. With that said, had we thrown away the stock brackets from the previous out of factory stereo and not switched them right away, with time the stereo and dash frame could’ve possibly snapped and been destroyed after a certain amount of uses due to the vibrations and because of the extremely tight tension the supplied brackets were inducing due to that the brackets were too small to simultaneously handle the unit and have it properly and safely fastened on the dash. Once we realized we had to used the factory-stock brackets from the old stereo which luckily we still hadn’t thrown away yet. We took the old busted up stereo, took off the stock brackets and reinstalled them in with the new digital unit and the change was significant and perfect once we did this: no gaps, no steep angles, no vibrations, and no tension-strains were left on unit and dash frame and could easily move the volume know with 2 fingers once we discarded the supplied brackets and reused the “previous factory bracket”. Another thing to have in mind prior to installing is that aside of the connectors that come with the product you’ll need to buy a harness-adapter that works specifically for your “car: brand and year” I installed mine in my fathers 2000 nissan frontier so I bought a harness-adapter that “fits any Nissan 1995-2015”. So yeah just have in mind the brand and year of your vehicle for that and you should be fine to finding that at various automobile stores. And unless you know how to solder, buy “butt-connectors” and a pair of “electric-pliers (any type pliers really)” for the wiring. The wires on the adapter you buy won’t completely match the wire pattern on the product- supplied adapters but if keep a close eye on the wire-instructions you’ll be able to easily match the right wires regardless of the color coding each of the adapter present. Some of the adapters you have to purchase on the side won’t have the “ground-wire” a good suggestion is to: splice the ground wire and screw it on to a piece of metal where the bracket is screwed on to the dash and that will solve your problem, just make sure you loop the wire around the screw that goes onto a top corner when you’re finally fitting the stereo unit so it fits in there and give you the necessary direct current, And there. The only problem is that for trucks the rear view camera require damaging the cabin to install it and it just stay unused and as waste because we don’t want to risk damaging the cabin or drivetrain. And the carplay requires the use of usb cables to function properly. The final problem is the use of remotes which are not very useful as you can easily use “Hey Siri” and “Hey Google” assistant to ask for dialing calls and music. Other than that it’s pretty solid

Installed it in my car and its ok. Cheap look, basic functionality but so far had no problems with connectivity. only downside is the screen mirror. not how i expected it to work but what do you expect lol good budget buy I still say!
