Great value, features and performance for a $75 head unit
My daily driver is a 20+ year old toyota 4runner. I drive it because I like to try and get as much use out of something for as little cost as possible. So when it came time to replace the aging factory radio/cd player, I took the same approach. I had looked at cheap offerings from the big name brands, but they were either still too expensive or lacked the features that I wanted.Then I started looking at these Chinese made head units. I didn't need a CD player, or DVD player for that matter. I wanted a large screen with video input and the ability to use a backup camera. And I also wanted bluetooth, USB port and micro SD card slot. I figured I'd go ahead and give this one a shot since it had all those things, included a backup camera, and a remote. The only other thing I needed was an adapter to wire it into my car's factory wiring harness so I didn't have to cut any wires. In my case it was the TAO21 from scoche, but each car is different.The wiring took me about 10 minutes, the actual install was maybe an hour. It didn't come with a sleeve, so you may need to purchase one. I was able to reuse the factory radio brackets from my truck and it fit just fine. Got the trim back together, and it looks almost OEM. The sound quality is great when playing from bluetooth. Haven't tried the micro SD card or USB ports yet. One cool feature I found is that you can manually set it to show your car's emblem on the screen when it starts up. This goes a long way toward making it looks like it belongs... even in a 20+ year old vehicle.My only complaints are minor, but at this price, they aren't deal breakers. 1) the lack of a sleeve for installing it 2)the video input is composite, not HDMI 3)It has volume buttons instead of a knob. These are all just minor grumbles though, and as long as it keeps working, I have no problems with recommending this to any potential buyers.

Maybe you'll have better luck
couple pros, camera video looked good, and i was told mic for good for phone calls. cons the wire harness is challenging to unplug so make sure plugging it in is the last thing u do, did not fit a metra double din dash kit i had to cut the kit bigger, mounting screw on side of kit also did not line up. i was unsuccessful at finding demo mode to turn it off, mlink was a no go. memory wasn't there i had to to the radio on Everytime i turned the car on.and 3 songs in i lost 3 speakers then all speakers then a really annoying sound in all speakers. so this is being returned. as i removed the unit super hot! couldn't touch it.

Not worth it, screen died less than a month after installation
Apple mirror link doesnt work. The radio receiver is terrible and has horrible reception, might as well not have a radio receiver in it; despite isolating the power source and having an antenna amp inline, without the amp it is nothing but static. The touch screen works every other time you touch it. Bluetooth connection issues.Being the cheapest double din touch screen, you get what you pay for. I would not buy this.Updated: the touch screen died in less than a month of use.

STAY AWAY! FAULTY ITEM, NO ONE TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT!
This crap cost me $84!!! I had it installed by a professional. Half of the screen is completely completely unresponsive to touch so you cannot use most of the touchscreen functions. There is no such thing as Mirrorlink. The upper half that is responsive to touch is selective as to which buttons it will activate, meaning, in different modes touchscreen in upper side might or might not work. The item gets scolding hot and it will probably completely die very soon. AUX is dead. What makes it even worse is that my cousin bought this thing, the very same thing on aliexpress and it cost him $25!!!! and it works better!!!! Oh and since I have moved they refused to issue a refund. How great! Trust me, you're much better off just buying a good Bluetooth speaker and putting that in your car than this. Anything is better than this!
P**!
Not worth it
The camera is very blurry and of poor quality. Setting up confusing and time consuming. Does not have a fan in the back so it heats up very quickly. I could continue but will stop here.I would not advice anyone to waste their money and purchase this.

Much better than what we had!
Touchscreen works great. Installation with wire harness wasn't too bad. Didn't use the backup camera because it would've been too difficult to run the wiring. Can't get the image mirroring to work. Bluetooth/AM/FM works.

Screen went out
The screen went out after only 3 weeks. I had paid $200 to have it installed. When I took it back to the technician, he showed me how the back light on the screen was out. I would have to get a new radio and pay for installation again

Not double DIN
It's larger than double din.Don't hack your bezel away - get something that's the correct size.
