Good
Works great in an older car, it's slow compared to a car with factory android auto.That being said it sounds good and does all of the things newer head units do. The wireless connection works well.

Great value for a nice aftermarket wireless CarPlay stereo
I've had it installed a week, and am really pleased with this stereo. Seamless wireless CarPlay integration, decent sound, a really nice 8 inch screen, and a volume knob. All for just over $200! Install was relatively easy - just get the right harnesses, connect the right wires, and you are good to go. You have to pay attention, but it is not that complicated or difficult. I would definitely recommend this.

Yessssss!
I've never purchased an dual aftermarket stereo before and boy was I pleased by the end results. The power and clarity thru the factory ford taurus speakers was very impressive. Setup and use is intuitive. And the screen is "almost" to big making it wonderful to navigate and glance at for Info while driving. The wireless Apple carplay and Android auto works seamlessly. The only complaints I have is the slow response of the screen when navigating the menus. I'm not saying it is unusable by any means. By there is a definite lag and you do notice it during the the boot sequence and and trying the load the apple car play or android. For me the sound quality way outweighs the lag and slow loading time.

Great Unit!
This is a nice unit. It has everything you need to bring your vehicle up to date. So far only wired Android auto works and it sounds great. The only complaint I have is that if you are just using Bluetooth, it sounds crackly (Plugging in via USB C for Android auto fixes that) the screen only tilts left to right, but slides up and down. I'm a huge fan of the physical buttons and volume knob which seems to be non existent these days. Gps works great, calling in/out is great. Screen resolution isn't great (Maybe 480p 😂) but it gets the job done. Honestly if you are looking for a great solid unit without spending $1000 plus for a 10" stereo this is it. I don't notice really any difference between this and a $1400 one I tried out at best buy.

Great Android Auto unit
I had bought a chinese Android radio and was pretty disappointed, this was worth every penny though. Wireless Android Auto works like a charm, the unit is very responsive and sounds very nice too it has everything you want and nothing you don't ..I like that the screen tilts, and can be adjusted up and down as well...makes it easier to fit into your car.

DO NOT buy this radio.
This thing is worthless. Will not pick up any radio stations. I have used 3 different antennas, no luck. Rattles and vibrates like crazy, its driving me out of my mind. Refused to link to my phone automatically, I need to do it every time I get in the car. The interface is childish. Not a good product. Unfortunately, I bought it months before installing it, so now I cant return it. I wasted $225. DO NOT buy it. Move on.

Lots of small issues
This unit provides decent value, but there were so many small annoying issues, that I replaced it with another unit.Display: The display is not glass, it's a plastic that bends slightly when pressing giving a cheap feel (hollow tapping sound) and worse glare than other units.The actual lcd is set back behind the touchscreen a bit which is a slight annoyance, when looking at the display from an angle, the edges of the screen are cut off because of this.The screen is not black, it's a dark grey, so the contrast is not good.The aspect ratio is a bit off, so everything looks a bit stretched. Also, the entire android auto experience is very zoomed in, meaning that everything is very crowded on screen, (android auto probably sees the screen as lower resolution for some reason).Ports: The USB port for android auto, as well as the aux input are on the back of the unit. This means that you will have to run wires under your dash or drill a hole in your dash which is not clean. Other units have these connection point at the front. It's worth noting there is a USB on the front, but it does not support android auto (I assume the same for carplay)UI: The UI is VERY laggy, this is only a problem in the system UI, not an issue in android auto. It is worth noting that the UI is very good looking compare to other units in this price point.Mic: It does not seem that the unit has a built in mic, you must use a wired mic (provided) which is not a clean look at all.Installation: Hopefully you only have to do this once, but attaching the display to the unit is very awkward. There's not a lot of room for your hands to attach the harness. And you really need a third hand to support the display while screwing it into the unit.In the end I ended up returning this, but if these thing don't bother you, it's otherwise a good value. Connects pretty quickly to android auto, good looking UI, easy to understand menu (For the most part), well packaged well-written instructions with clear diagrams. The same cannot be said for alot of other units in this price bracket.
