I installed this unit on a 2016 Honda CR-V without navigation (note, you'll need to buy a wiring harness and dash trim kit but that would be true of the most expensive head unit on the market). The process was as easy as possible and the instructions were clear. I had previously upgraded my stock speakers but the settings on the factory head unit still made them sound terrible. This was my first head unit install in years so I was pretty much starting from scratch. The whole thing took about 30 minutes once I had the harness wired up. Once I installed the unit, I adjusted the EQ (which was impossible in the stock unit) and the speakers came alive. I never write reviews but as long as this thing lasts a few years, I will consider this an excellent purchase.
Pros:
- Exceptional value (assuming it lasts for at least a few years): This unit performs exactly as expected. I was worried about screen lag and limited functionality but I'm shocked at its features for the price. It feels very light compared to some electronics I've used in the past but I'm not totally sure that's a strong indicator of quality.
- Screen responsiveness: This was a major concern of mine. I assumed that the screen would be pretty terrible given the price but I was willing to accept that as a tradeoff for a non-name-brand unit. I was pleasantly surprised that my device is incredibly responsive. I don't notice any lag whatsoever once things are all loaded up.
- Customizability/Software updates: Once you get the unit and provide proof of purchase, customer service provides free software updates and custom car logos so your launch screen has a more factory-feel.
- Sound: The ability to control the EQ frequencies is a game-changer for my vehicle. The stock head unit and speakers sounded terrible. After a cheap speaker upgrade, it still sounded awful. Worse, actually. Once I installed this new head unit, I was able to deliver the right frequencies to the speakers to get way better sound out of them.
- Wireless Carplay: I synced my phone and had carplay running in minutes. I had never used carplay before and thought it would be kinda worthless because I can just use my phone in "car mode". I was seriously wrong. Carplay alone is worth the upgrade to this system.
- Customer service: So far, their customer service has been very responsive via email. Sending me software updates and new screen savers
- Physical buttons/knobs: One of the main reasons I ended up with this particular unit was because I like the volume knob. I think about trying to operate a touch screen in the winter with gloves on or quickly turn down the volume because a kid is yammering at me from the back seat…I don't want to have to use a touch screen for that personally.
Cons
- iPhone screen mirroring: I have yet to figure out a way for me to mirror my iPhone. It's not something I intend to use often but it would be nice to have.

Andrew F. DeBrunnerTotally shocked at the quality of the device and service
EuroGarageA lot of bang for your buck! Wireless android auto works flawless with Samsung flip

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2024
I hooked it up to power to make sure it worked and could connect to my samsung flip before installing it. Install was straight forward as they provide schematics of the wiring on the radio and follow the standard industry colors for all the wiring. I reused my harness from my existing radio that plugs into the factory plugs so I just needed to splice it to the harness for the new radio.
Power output on this radio is higher than the well known brand it was replacing so I was able to turn down my amp for my subwoofer almost halfway and the sub output is clean with no phantom noises. Speaker level outputs are more than enough to drive factory door speakers and tweeters. I can comfortably listen to the radio at about setting of 10 and it goes all the way over 20. Touchscreen is very responsive I never had to tap any selection more than once compared to my old radio.
After connecting my phone through bluetooth the first time the radio connects automatically when I startup the car and loads quickly.
I'm not sure what the OS it using but it's not android so possibly running off Linux which makes the interface very smooth with no lags scrolling across menus. My other cars have android based screens and this screen feels much nicer when used with android auto.
I hear no engine noise through the radio which definitely worth it for the price and I like that it is shallow compared to other double din radios as my car is originally a single din that I customized to a double din so it had limited space behind the lower half behind the radio. I 3d printed a custom trim piece to finish off the install.
So far it's been working good sounds great and being able connect my phone wireless great for navigation and streaming without having to take my phone out of my pocket.
