    The folks inside the store were super nice. The install guys were fantastic. The online purchase of the radio amd back up camera in one didnt explaine prior to my arrival that there were added extra cost for steering wheel controls amd added labor for the x2 wore harness' i was grateful that they could still do the installation for added $$$

    Awesome in dash for your car. I had a factory radio in my 2009 Ford Focus and wanted to upgrade. This gave me a clean new look as well as improved the sound system immensely. Would definitely recommend.

    I've had this unit for a while, and this is my honest opinion. First, installation is pretty easy -- the only thing I had trouble with are the mounting screws, but that's very minor. It paired easily with my smartphone, which is very important to me! Second, the actual setup was simple. The interface is intuitive and almost effortless. The only thing I don't care for is the boot up screen with the warning on it, but I suppose that's industry standard now. Third, customization options are quite limited which is actually a good thing for me. Video playback is good and I didn't have any white noise like other folks are getting. Radio reception is good and the overall sound quality is great! Glad I bought it and I highly recommend!

    I was excited to replace my stock head unit in my 06 mustang but I unfortunately ran in to issues from the beginning. I'm assuming my phone isn't compatible with this unit (Google Pixel) because I've never been able to use the mirror function. It looked great and powered my stock speakers beautifully so I overlooked that huge part. Last week I got into my car to head to work as usual and not a single function of the touchscreen works. It powers on in stereo mode only with static. Randomly turns up and down volume and won't power down unless car is off. I'm quite disappointed considering I paid close to $200. Luckily I have a single din to switch it out until I figure out what to do with it. I'm sure it's a great unit and I just happened to get a defective one, we shall see.

    JVC Touchscreen Audio Player

    It has great audio and a lot of good EQ features. For the price it's excellent. But it is definitely way behind the times of its own current models. Such as GPS & Maps. You will have to purchase mounting hardware kit & adapters to go from the old model to this new one & if you don't have a backup camera to install, ground "parking" to use on the go. Also it has a usb port so you will have to provide phone cable to mirror or download the app. Or the final option is just to bluetooth it to your phone & use it that way.

    I put it in an 08 Jeep Wrangler, and I love the ease of use, and the power to hear it over the wind! I also got the backup camera to go with it, which helps when the top is up and my windows are dirty

    In dash media center is great, quick install. But would have been a lot better if they had the wiring harness or let you know what the options are, especially because they don't do installations. I could have gotten a T-harness which has factory connector s at one end and the other end matches your new connections. I had to goto car audio store for wiring harness ( they pretend to never heard of T-harness, hoping you'll bring it to them) and splice some of the wiring in.

    Would not recommend. The Android app is just a screen mirroring app and crashed multiple times forcing my phone to reboot in the few minutes I attempted to use it. Works via Bluetooth but without the app it has bare bones features. If your vehicle already has Bluetooth this is not an upgrade. Do not buy thinking it will work like Android Auto/Apple Car Play. The app is unusable on Android and has many bad reviews complaining about similar issues. Installed the unit myself. Buying the wiring harness components through Crutchfield made it easy.
