I’m no audiophile, but I got this for my birthday to install in my 2016 Jeep JKU. I have only had this radio for a day and it may be too soon to write a review, but so far I am pretty darned impressed with it. It was incredibly easy to install to the factory radio harness and it worked right out of the box. It’s taking a little getting used to because I am not an Android expert, but I am feeling my way around. and it is just fine. The CarPlay works flawlessly. At this point, I would buy it again given the opportunity. The price is right, the screen is crystal clear and the features are very rich. The last aftermarket radio I bought to replace the factory garbage was also garbage and the module I bought separately for it to have steering wheel controls never worked right. It’s so nice to have those controls again right out of the box! Can people hear me now on phone calls? Again, YES! And I didn’t even have to install the external mic.

So I'll start off saying this was an easy install. The mount is awesome and it looks good in your Jeep. Outside of that the software is laggy and the Android auto has been nothing but problems. Currently, as I'm writing this review, sound is not coming out of the unit. I find the only way to remedy this is to do a complete factory reset. Then everything works fine again for a day. So yeah you get a really good looking unit that works for a day and then you have to factory reset it every time and you have to be close to Wi-Fi to get the laggy z Link software to to authenticate. 100% buyer beware. It seems like some people have no issues but I just want others to know. Maybe try another unit. Either quality control is lacking or it's just not good.

I am incredibly impressed with this stereo. I purchased something similar and also pretty cheap a few years ago and it was just sitting there because I was intimidated by the installation. I took a chance and purchased this one in part because of it being advertised as truly being plug and play. I was not disappointed! Installation took maybe an hour (excluding time to install backup camera which I have not completed). Here are some highlights. - instructions were simple but YouTube was very helpful, they even linked to a video that I followed -the hardware was super easy to connect, there were basically 2 things that had to be plugged into the car - the mount is perfect, I didn’t realize how well it would fit, the screws spots use the same as OEM. Just make sure you don’t snap the head unit in until you are done wiring (more below for that) - the microphone. And camera are better than expected, something I didn’t really care about. I first didn’t connect backup camera wires and realized that was a mistake. I had to stick my hand in and trigger the tabs to pull screen out which was annoying. However that also led to the other thing watch out. When you put everything back after the “mount” is screwed in, follow this order or you’ll be annoyed and prone to immense frustration! 1) put dashboard back on 2) reinstall window control 3) Reinstall ac vent covers 4) last thing you should do is snap the head unit in. If you do this before the vents and window controls it is hard to get them in if not impossible with out breaking something. (Or at least it felt like I was going to break something) Overall I love this, amazing value for the price. The sound is better, it functions perfectly and the CarPlay connectivity is very user friendly.

If I could give this thing negative 5 stars I would. Absolute Garbage. Nice screen size but that’s as far as it goes. This is the second one I’ve gotten as a replacement and same issues. Between the buggy UI, unstabe carplay app, major connectivity issues and the entire unit turning on and off and restarting by itself constantly I’m ready to throw this thing in the trash. I work 30 mins from work and this thing took legit 20mins to connect one time and when it did it the music and screen kept cutting off . Other times it’ll work just fine for a hr or two but always less than a day. Don’t waste your time, I guarantee it’s not worth your money.
