[QLED Screen Upgrade] 7" Double Din Car Stereo with Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 240W Powerful Sound, 4.2-Channel Audio Output, Bluetooth, MirrorLink, Backup Camera, AM/FM Car Radio

I installed this unit in my 2008 Jeep Wrangler 4dr. Amazon says it won't fit, but it does. A Metra 95-6511 dash kit, Crux SOOCR-26 harness kit and Metra 40-EU10 antenna adapter are required for this application. Installation is not difficult for someone with mechanical experience and a bit of patience to remove the center dash panel. It isn't necessary to completely remove the panel and disconnect all of the climate control switches. Once the panel is loosened by removing two screws at the top and two at the bottom behind the trim panel, it pops out with a little bit of controlled force. I decided to mount the rear camera on top of the license plate holder light fixture. It had to be near the outer end to make room for the LR taillight assembly which must be removed to tap in the power and ground for the camera. Just run the cable behind the holder and through the existing hole in the body into the cavity behind the taillight. The camera cable will be routed up through the rubber grommet under the carpet and then along the edge (also under carpet) past the rear door and front door. Removing the plastic trim panels is required along with replacement plastic clips. Route the cable around behind the brake and accelerator pedals. It is a little difficult to get the camera cable up through the dash into position behind the stereo but I used a flexible fiberglass rod. Once the cable and harness adapter are in place the rest is just connecting the wires as shown in the manual. I used closed end cap connectors then zip tied the bundles together to keep it neat and tucked in. It is recommended that before you go through all of the trouble, first connect just the red and yellow power wire, ground and one speaker (I used green) to make sure the unit is functional and correctly connected to power. If so, you're good to go.After installation, I found that this unit does everything I need it to do. Sound quality is good (I have replaced the Jeep factory speakers with Kicker) and all of the functions work well. Setting up Bluetooth and Android Auto is easy. There are several display settings and everything operates smoothly. Depending upon how you mount the camera, there are settings to change the up/down and L/R orientation.It will probably be necessary to update the firmware after installation. The company website does not have download links for this. You must email them and include a photo of the version screen and a copy of the Amazon invoice and they will send back instructions for the update. A nice added feature is the ability to customize the boot screen with the manufacturer's logo of your car. This is available with the update package. Just tell them what you want.All in all, this appears to be a good choice. Lots of features and a low price point for a vehicle I use as an off-road toy. I've no doubt this unit will do well for a daily driver. Time will tell about the long-term durability but for now, it's all good.

tldr; This thing is really solid for the price! If you're looking for good value that doesn't break the bank, grab it. You'll love it.Pros: Tons of features, wireless android auto and carplay work great, sharp display, great sound, easy to hookup, clear directions, responsive support so far.Cons: No real cons, some areas that could be improved as noted below.Would love to see: Ability to load a custom boot logo or background from a usb stick without going through support, Ability to switch wireless devices from the head unit, USB port on the back of the unit.The long review and a little background...I just finished helping my stepson get his first car, an extremely clean,low mileage 2007 Pontiac G6 GXP hardtop convertible. We paid $800 because it's older and the transmission was blown. Awesome little first car for him and great experience together as we rebuilt the transmission and went through everything else it needed. Soon he had a pretty sick looking car to drive to school... He didn't even complain about the fact that the stock radio sounded like someone trying to sing through a tin can and that the only way he could stream to it was by using a radio adapter.I'm a big fan of rewarding hard work and grateful attitudes, but I'm also a father with 5 kids that I'm constantly helping fix their cars, bicycles etc so while I wanted to surprise him with a nice new stereo, I was on a tight budget. After a LOT of research I settled on this radio, crossed my fingers, and ordered it for him.I've installed plenty of radios, expensive Pioneer ones, and cheapo space fillers so I'm very familiar with how much quality and value can vary.I received the stereo in 2 days flat. It was well packed, in a nice box and came with what were easily the best instructions of any inexpensive radio I've ever installed. I could actually read the directions without laughing! Even better, they were clear, clean, and even gave helpful tips for folks that aren't so familiar with these systems.It was pretty simple to install the radio. I opted to use a Metra universal steering control adapter and schosche harness and canbus adapter. We did a quick test to insure it powered on (always do this first) then we soldered the harnesses all together, plugged it in, and powered it up.WOW!!!! This thing kicks! The screen is sharp, bright and easily readable. It is glossy, and while I would prefer a matte finish, there is really no glare so it's just a matter of preference. The brightness can be controlled by the illumination wire, and the brightness level can be adjusted independently for headlights on or off. This works great and keeps the screen at perfect levels. No problems day or night.The audio was really good at first, but lacked a little punch. Looking in the settings revealed a loudness option and adjusting this took the sound from good to absolutely awesome. I will state that this is running through a stock Monsoon amp, and that will make a difference, but regardless, the sound is incredible. Crisp, clean, great punch, and the equalizer actually works well! So many of these cheap radios have equalizers that do, well, nothing. This one actually works and very well!Interfacing with Apple Carplay over wireless was easy and smooth as was Android Auto. The only thing that was a bummer is that there does not appear to be any button to disconnect the existing android/apple connection and switch to another one. The radio just reconnects to whatever was last connected and you have to disconnect from your cellphone to switch to a different phone. Small problem, but would love to see a way to switch to known connections.The backup camera is very sharp and has a great picture! I would recommend that when you install you add a capacitor in parallel to the power source if you're hooking up to the backup wires. If you're hooking up to a constant power source you should be fine.Responsiveness is on point. There is the tiniest bit of input lag but it is hardly noticeable and I am told that an update will address this. I'm waiting on the vendor for that.Background and boot logo are customizable, but loading a custom boot logo requires going through the vendor. It would be great to be able to load a background or boot logo through the menu via USB. This seems (as a programmer/developer) to be a very simple thing to integrate.Speaking of USB it would be great to have a USB port on the back so a cable could be added for an external drive etc.Overall I am extremely impressed with this unit and my stepson is beyond thrilled! I highly recommend this specific head unit if you are looking for an inexpensive but solid performer. I will update this if anything fails.
