   really dont know about the sound yet,, put this in a 2006 jeep wrangler x , bought all three.. it worked out just fine, a little bit of thinking but pretty easy.. I always liked Pyle products I think because of their low price, but not true , always had good luck , we didn’t use all the wiring function dont need them,, paired to iPhone just fine, grandson is very happy. didn’t interfere with anything,, it went great.. will probably give 5 star on sound when we chang the factory speakers

   Man, for the price, this is a great head-unit. Don’t really have much to add that hasn’t been covered already. The instructions are garbage, so if you don’t know what you’re doing, definitely have it professionally installed. I put mine in myself on a 1999 Dodge Durango with  Scosche Fcj1270Ab Multi-Purpose Kit For 1974 and Up Chrysler, Dodge, Eagle, Ford, Jeep, Lincoln, Mercury, Plymouth , hooked up my sub, and I am bouncing down the road now. My main desired feature was the aux in so I could hook up my phone/mp3 player and listen to it through my deck, and this fit the bill perfectly. The only problem I’m having is I do get some engine noise when I have my phone hooked up to the deck and plugged in to the DC charger. I’m hoping some better quality cables will fix that. I’ll update when I find out. I haven’t really used the bluetooth, though it did sync up with my LG Optimus S just fine. I made one call to my wife, and she said I sounded pretty quiet, but I get pretty dodgy phone service where I live, so that’s not the best test. I’ll definitely update more as I learn more, but I can say for sure that for my purposes, and for the price, I am extremely satisfied with this purchase.UPDATE 8-3-12: I’ll start with the good. I am still very, very impressed with the sound from this head unit. My stock Infinity door speakers, Pioneer door tweeters, and Sony Xplod sub all sound great. I like my music loud, listen to both rap and metal, and even with the volume cranked there is no distortion or cutting out. If I have a complaint in this area it’s that it could get even louder.I have since hooked up a rear view camera:  PYLE PLCM22IR Flush Mount Rear View Camera with 0.5 Lux Night Vision  and it works perfect, with a caveat. If you want ultimate control over the camera, you need to run it to a switch. You can power it with your reverse lights, but it will only come on when you’re in reverse, and I like to be able to occasionally check my trailer while driving down the road. If you power the camera with any constant on/ignition controlled source, then the camera will always be on no matter what screen you’re currently viewing, and if you unplug the camera every screen will be blue with a “Camera Not Detected” message. I was adding off-road lights anyway, so drilled another hole in the dash, took power from my parking lamps fuse in the block, and now I can turn the camera on whenever I like. The picture is fine…I’ll post a separate review of the camera itself.Now for the bad, and the potentially very bad. First, the Bluetooth has become glitchy. I only recently started using it to get away from the aforementioned engine sound when using aux (again, this only occurs when charging the phone…but I’m always charging my phone.) The Bluetooth solved this problem nicely. Music plays great on BT through my phone and pauses/restarts for phone calls as it should. The mic is lacking a little, and I have to talk fairly loud to be heard clearly. After using BT for music maybe 10 times, it started cutting out on me. I was just losing Bluetooth connectivity….my phone couldn’t find the deck. My phone is still connecting to everything else I use, so it’s got to be a problem with the hu. I’ll keep working on this (next step is to try to connect my BT headphones) and I’ll update if I do or don’t find a solution. I’ll be finding out soon if there’s any customer service available because……of the very bad recent development. I lost volume control at the deck! The push button still works for selecting bass, treble, etc., but not that it matters, because rotating the knob does absolutely nothing. I have no idea what to do about this, and to compound matters the remote isn’t working either. I’ve never used the remote, other than testing upon installation, since I operate most everything I use with my phone or a switch, and I’m assuming that the battery died…which means there wasn’t much life to it to begin with. I have spare batteries on order, so will update when I found out if I can control the volume that way. BTW, if you’re planning on getting this deck, go ahead and order some CR2025 batteries for the remote. I just ordered these:  Energizer 2025BP-2 Lithium Button Cell Battery (2 Count) . Get them through Amazon…a little more expensive but people have been having problems with other sellers.I expect no product support for this very inexpensive deck, so it will be interesting to find out if I can get these problems fixed. I’ll jump through the hoops and report back on my progress.UPDATE 2-27-13: Needless to say, I never received a response from the manufacturer. However, my volume knob is back to working. No explanation as to why, just started working again. Nice to not have to use the remote all the time.I have a new phone now, and the Bluetooth is working much better. Only issue I have is that I have to reset the BT on the phone every time I restart my truck, even if I just went into the convenience store. Not a huge pain, but definitely a small one.All in all, and after almost a year, I’m very satisfied with this HU for the price.UPDATE 3-18: My original head unit served me well for six years, including some pretty heavy four wheeling, until a pack rat apparently needed the wiring more that I did. So I bought the same model hu and installed it today. This newer version has some features and functionality that brings my rating back up to five stars. First, the whole interface is better with a much nicer menu and nicer screens for each setting/mode. The wiring has changed a bit; the rca’s are configured slightly different and the hu now has wiring for steering wheel controls (labeled KEY1, KEY2, AND KEY (GROUND)). These can be used with an swc adapter for digital controls, and can wire straight into old analog controls. I have the latter, and can now control my hu with my swc….SWEET! The screen has a nicer picture, the controls have a better tactile feeling to them (especially the volume)…the whole unit is just nicer than the older model. Bluetooth had zero problems pairing with my S8, but it seems you do still have to repair after every time the ignition is turned off…which is my only gripe at this point. My rear camera still works, but even better because now when I flip the camera switch on my dash, it automatically opens the flip-up screen and takes me to the camera view. Overall, I am very pleased with this newer edition of this model head unit…enough to bump it back to five stars…we’ll see how it holds up down the road. It would take a lot to lose that star again, because I got this new unit through Warehouse Deals for $80.46!!!!

   Honestly I set my expectations very low with this head unit. I was pleasantly surprised at the sound quality the options and how easy it was to set up. I would definitely recommend getting all of the appropriate harnesses so that you’re not trying to figure out what wires are which behind your dashboard. if you’re going to do something like that this is definitely not the stereo for you. frankly I was a little bit leery because I know that they can create a lot of heat and sometimes that creates an overheat situation that causes problems for the head unit. though I’ve only had it in for about a month it seems to be running like a champ and does a great job of driving the kicker speakers I have connected to it. The Price is Right the shipping was fast and installation was a lot easier than I thought it would be.

   This is a great radio for the price! Growing up I always wanted a flip out screen radio. They were and still can be quite expensive. After backing my truck into the corner of a building I decided to look into back up cameras. Being on a tighter budget required a bit of searching but kept coming back to this unit. Never heard of the brand before… Replaced a recently installed Kenwood unit with it. Honestly, having the sub out control is a huge plus, LCD screen is crisp and clear. Heck it comes with a dimmer icon for night driving. If you know what your doing you can let your passengers enjoy a film on the road. The 7″ display is big enough to comfortably enjoy a film. If your looking for a head unit that serves it’s purpose I would highly reccomend this product. I forgot the backup camera… The unit does not come with one, sadly. For $25 auto parts or even Amazon sells universal. Simple RCA hookup. Friendly tip: There are three hookups for game systems or anything with RCA outputs. Run those cables even if you don’t think your going to use them, at least one. Though I will not always carry it, I did bring my PS4 out. Worth it! Have fun and happy shopping!

   Install was quick in my 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid. I used a single DIN dash install kit with a storage compartment in the bottom. Wiring harness was easy to connect to the adapter with butt connectors and the wire sheaths were pre cut but not stripped yet. One thing I wanted to know before I bought it was how much clearance does the flip out screen have. The front face of the radio sticks out about an inch and a half with the faceplate covering the edges, so there is plenty of room for the screen to clear the dash. I connected the parking brake wire to the ground wire and the DVD works fine. I’m not going to be using it while driving, but I wasn’t going to take the whole console appart to find the parking brake wire. Bluetooth works, although when I set it to not auto connect, as soon as Bluetooth is on – on my phone it automatically links up. I have yet to figure out if I can have audio from Waze and the audio from the radio play through at the same time or if it will auto switch. My only complaint this far is I wish the screen was a little more touch responsive. I feel like really have to push on the screen to activate it and I tend to want to hold the back of the screen while doing so. I might put a stilus in the car and try that. I will edit if I run into any problems.

   The media could not be loaded.  So far I like everything about it and it’s not too pricey! I’ve had it for almost a month and nothing has malfunctioned so far. Sound quality is good. The remote needs to be held/pointed more towards the right of the faceplate but that’s not a major inconvenience. Also, make sure you’re speakers can handle the power this outputs. The only thing I haven’t done is the phonelink which I am about to do.Update: Phonelink works great!Update #2: Its been 2 months and everything still works just fine. :)

   (This review is not for the techno-audiophiles who know the name of every item in electronics. It is for average folk who sometimes use the word thing-a-ma-jig. If you can relate, read on…)I LOVE my new car stereo! I researched for a long time, measuring function, reviews, and price. I am not at all disappointed with my decision, and I’ve been using it for almost two months. I’m not an audiophile, so didn’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on a system. Spending less than $150 for all the features this system can do is a great deal!If the person who will be installing it for you knows what they are doing, they should buy an install kit and wiring harness- it’s pretty slick. That way, when you sell your car, you can easily unplug this one, and then plug your old stereo back in. Makes it almost like a plug and play system. But I digress! My stereo was installed in a Chevy Uplander, and the guy who installed it said it was no problem. He’s not a professional, but he does almost all the work on our cars, and has replaced a few car stereos in his time.I’m getting older so I wanted a back up camera to help me see what’s behind the car, especially those blind spots. My neck isn’t as limber as it used to be! You do need to purchase a backup camera separately- I got the Koolertron Rear View License Plate Backup Camera. It’s only $13-something with a ton of good reviews. I like the picture quality well enough. I used to have another type of backup camera, which connected to a clunky thing-a-ma-jig attached to the rear view mirror. It totally replaced the rear view mirror, so the view was all wrong- instead of a wide-view, it was narrow. And because it was so heavy, it caused the entire mirror to fall off a few times during the winter months. I’m excited to have a new camera that is convenient, easy to use, and doesn’t cover up anything essential. It’s just really nice!I also wanted a touch screen system that is easier (than a radio faceplate) to see while driving, and this fits the bill! The icons are large, obvious as to what they are for, and responsive to the touch. The learning curve is pretty fast, especially after reading the manual (which is rather brief, and went to print full of typos- oops!). The remote control comes in handy when I can’t remember how to get to one of the screens, such as the menu to change settings. Between the stereo faceplate, the touch screen, and remote, you can’t lose! And if you have stereo controls on your steering wheel, you can connect that way as well.I also wanted something that could handle all the tech on my wishlist. AM/FM, of course. CD’s, DVD’s, and even CD-ROM (I could finally listen to my educational course’s CD-ROM for a class in the car!). With my old factory stereo, I was used to plugging in my phone to listen to apps through the car speakers. But with the Pyle’s Bluetooth capabilities, I get smooth clear sound while listening to my Audible books and YouTube videos. No more interference from the car engine, or speaker crackling when nothing is playing. It makes my ears happy. I don’t have a need for MP3/4/5, flash drive or SD card. It comes with two different cables for AUX and USB, and so far I’ve only tried the AUX cable. I just prefer Bluetooth. I have yet to try a DVD. I may edit this review at that time.I have made and accepted phone calls with the Bluetooth feature, and the sound quality is great. The other person’s voice sounds great through the car speakers, oddly enough, and I have been told that my voice was good also. For me, this is a fun novelty, and I plan to have fun with it- I’m going to get my Google Assistant to learn how to do everything I can for a total hands-free and fun driving experience!You know how people with expensive car stereos remove the faceplate to deter theft? Well, it is so easy to figure out how to remove this faceplate, a child could do it. So, if you want to be one of those people, go for it! Just push a button on the right side and gently take it off. Don’t forget to take the screen. Interestingly, the screen can be removed and still function (while still in the car, of course).In summary, I would buy this again. In the future, it will most likely cost even less!

    I’ve had this stereo installed for a week and I still can’t get over how great it is. The screen comes up when you turn it on, and it’s hidden when it’s off. I also installed a backup camera and when the screen is down, and I put it in reverse, the screen comes up automagically. When I get in the car, my cell phone is connected via Bluetooth. The sound quality is excellent and I can select which speakers I want the sound to come from. The built-in equalizer lets me customize the sound the way that I like it to be. I can listen to my favorite music CD’s and also watch DVD movies when I’m parked with my girlfriend. Know what else is cool, the background colors change as you drive. In case you can’t tell, I love this new stereo in my car.By the way, the install was really easy. Just match the wire colors…
