maXpeedingrods Double Din Android Car Stereo Radio with Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, 7 Inch HD Touchscreen in-Dash GPS Navigation Head Unit, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, USB Charging, 2G+32G, Q96

Customer service is great! I bought this unit for the built in dsp so when I install amplifier with subwoofers. This has quality RCA with higher voltage for aftermarket sound system installation. You really can't beat this unit for the price point! Trust me I have done extensive research to find the best bang for the buck. This high quality Android head unit has HDMI port on the back which is only found on high quality units. It also has tons of high quality RCA connections with built-in DSP and amp. Sounds way better than the stock stereo that I had in it previously even without an amplifier and subs attached to it. External microphone supported that I mounted on the pillar right above the steering wheel so that it can hear my voice great! Built-in DVR with high quality 1080p cameras that I can actually see the blue sky and the clouds even at night because the quality is so clear. True night vision cameras even without LEDs on them the quality is great! Maxpeedingrods customer service and support is amazing, you just have to give them your email in the message that you send to them through Amazon so that they can email you because Amazon will block the links that they send to try to help you. This company is amazing I wanted a customized boot logo for my company truck and they built the boot logo for me and send it in a file with instructions on how to install it. The password to get into the the system settings is 3368 if you need to change certain parameters of the head unit. Android auto works great with it and even has the map and the Pandora music streaming player side by side so you can use both at once for safe driving convenience. Just make sure that you go into Android Auto settings in start the head unit server in developer mode in Android Auto and turn on wireless connectivity. USB tethering is much faster and stable but all in all I am completely happy and satisfied with the quality of this Android head unit double DIN stereo. Thank you Maxpeedingrods you guys are great and I appreciate all the support. Can't beat the quality for the price. This is a high quality units that really has features of much more expensive head units.

Wifi poor, 10 foot from router. Wifi can't see my hot spot phone physically touching the head unit. HDMI is not an input. Touch response is ok. Volume knob is good. Sub out voltage is real good. value for money? Not really. . Android auto connection drops. Has 5.1 audio if you have the speakers. Appearance is ok. Have to pull down from top of screen to see back button on some screens. Main thing I wanted was to hot spot my phone. Can't do that. So it really isn't able to function like and andriod. Can't download apps and Internet. So it like a decent regular head unit. But even the radio part, is not the best layout and in practice, not very intuitive. Simple mounting brackets that do not make install easy. That are able to be cut to what you need. Which I had to do. If you are not good with that you might not like. Could not use factory brackets, which were able to be used on an aftermarket pioneer unit. Waited past return window to install. Will have to pawn this off on another who just wants a little upgrade from stock and get something else. This does have backup camera input, not an actual camera, sold separately, and analog video input which probably work ok. But I did not take the time to hook that up. And gps.

The radio itself was largely as advertised. Advantages:* Good price and value for what was offered* Reverse camera turns on immediately even while unit booting to show the reverse view. The view is clear and good as far as headunit goes (this of course also depends on which camera you purchase separately).* Wireless Carplay connects relatively quickly when only 1 iphone is present. With multiple iphones present that have been paried, there are autoconnect problem (see below).* Support from maXpeedingrods was quite good. Whenever I had a question, I found a response within 1 or 2 days.The unit does have some issues that should be fixed:* This unit is hardcoded to the factory car launcher which is less than ideal. The built-in car launcher is not very good as it has very small launch icons for Navigation,Carplay,Media,Phone,Apps etc. which are difficult to see during the daytime and cannot be resized or changed in any way (no color scheme changing, etc.). The launch icons cannot be customized to launch different applications that you might choose to download, they are locked to the factory radio, navigation, etc..* If you attempt to change the launcher to a new car launcher, you will run into two issues: 1. The operating system is missing the permission to allow 3rd-party app notifications which are required by car launchers to control media players. 2. Even if you change the launcher/home default app, on reboot, the OS is scripted to force the factory launcher to be launched on next restart. So, you will boot back to the factory launcher next time you get in the car.* The Volume Control knob from the position of the driver partly overlaps with the left side of the screen. A bit annoying but not a deal breaker.* While the unit is advertised as double-din, it is slightly larger and may require some modification of trim or adapter to make it work. I found for my Toyora 4runner 2003-2009 I could squeeze it in.* Lastly, the CarPlay app included (called SpeedPlay) has an autoconnect issue that may be common to all android headunits. The issue is when you have paired multiple iPhones to SpeedPlay and there is more than one phone present, SpeedPlay will often refuse to autoconnect any phone and will remain at a "Waiting" status for you to tell it what to do. To correct, you will have to manually reconnect an iPhone to the bluetooth of the headunit again through the iPhones Settings->Bluetooth menu. Alternatively, in the headunit, you can cancel out of the SpeedPlay app, return to the home screen, go into the Phone app, scroll down to the paired devices, and choose to manually connect a prior paired bluetooth device (choose "Connect" for the device you want to launch). Either of these workarounds are ugly and slow as it takes 20-30 seconds to manually connect the phone each time you get in a care with several paired phones. It would be better to have the SpeedPlay app show which phones it sees in the application and let the user choose a phone directly from the app (or even better, automatically default to the last phone used). Note: if there is only 1 iphone present in the car (despite having multiple paired devices), the app seems to autoconnect without an issue and launch Carplay quickly. Of course, if you only ever pair one iphone to the headunit, you will avoid this issue altogether.Lastly, I did find that the built-in microphone on the headunit (top left corner of the panel) is far too noisy to be used when my car is driving or with AC fan running. So, I purchased an external 3.5mm microphone to plug into the unit and ran this up the pillar and out the front of the middle overhead lights above my head. I chose to purchase FingerLakes 3.5mm Microphone off of Amazon for around $7, but any 3.5mm microphone should work. To support an external Mic on this radio unit, you must firmly plug the RCA wiring harness into the back of the unit (be sure it is fully seated), and connect the external 3.5mm microphone to the "MIC" RCA connector when installing. Then, in the Settings application, go the Assembly settings, and change the MIC Type to "External connection MIC" to switch the unit to use the RCA connection vs. the built-in front panel microphone.
