For a few years I’ve debated spending a lot more to get apple CarPlay in my truck. I am typically not a fan of getting the “budget” options for fear there will be a huge sacrifice in quality or reliability. This item was listed for 179, and had a 30 coupon. I figured for this price the risk was low enough. I watched all the video reviews on here and several on YT as well. I was concerned about some issues I saw in those reviews such as the temperature not displaying correctly. I changed the units to metric on the stock head unit before I installed this aftermarket stereo, however that didn’t help me. I ended up having to reconnect the stock unit and change it back to imperial units. The most difficult part of the installation was unclipping the volume and tuning knobs in order to move them over to the new faceplate. Other than that, the harness and cables were all self explanatory. I ended up not connecting the external microphone because it made a very bad ticking noise. The built in mic on the unit seems to be good enough. The display is of great quality, and the touch screen is very responsive even in wireless mode. My phone connects automatically, and quickly. One thing I haven’t heard anyone mention is that the steering wheel buttons Next and Previous are not reversed. I find this to be a good change although it will take some getting used to. The up button on the left side of the steering wheel used to be “next” while the down used to be “previous” I’ve always thought this seemed backwards, so this unit is improving that in my mind. During the day the display has more glare than I would like, and at night the screen is ALMOST too bright. I haven’t figured out if you can adjust the screen brightness yet. When you put the truck in reverse the music stops if you are using apple CarPlay, I haven’t found if this can be turned off yet, but it seems to be a feature and not an error. I like how there are a variety of themes for the headunit’s homescreen although I will always be using applecar play anyway. I hope to record a video demonstrating some of these things I’ve discussed, but overall I’m extremely satisfied with this purchase. The benefits far outweigh the cons.
