[Upgrade Wireless] Alondy Double Din Car Stereo,Compatible with Wireless Apple CarPlay Android Auto,Type-C USB,7" Touchscreen,Mirror Link,Backup Camera,Bluetooth Voice Control AUX SD DSP FM Radio

I had replaced the stock radio previously with a single din head unit for about $18 on Amazon. I used that for about a year without fail. Finally decided to use the entire double din.Luckily for me, the wiring on my 1din radio was a 1-1 match to this 2din. So the installation consisted of me confirming the wiring was correct, then plugging it all in. I also installed both the mic and rear camera. Both went without complexity. I separately order an extra long camera lead to handle the minivan 🚐 length.Camera: response is fairly instantaneous. Volume option to lower or mute in Reverse (if this means nothing to you, it eventually will & you’ll like it 👍🏼)“Hey Siri”: there’s a slight delay before the silence, but I wouldn’t say a deal breakerApple CarPlay: auto connects upon engine start. Music may resume depending on player used.Updated: CarPlay connection randomly drops. Music may continue, but display is blank. Leaving CarPlay on headunit appears to help reconnect, but NOT cool when ur driving and actively looking for directions.Unable to reach seller, hope they read this and reach out for a firmware update or something. Else it’s time to call Amazon and make noise.

I hooked this up to my Jackery to verify it working. Worked great, responsive, carplay starts right up, backup cam switches quickly, simple enough to wire if you know what you're doing.I measured the bezel, and it was right around where it was suppose to be 7" x 4" (180mm x 100mm) which is the double DIN measurement. I almost returned it, thinking it was too big initially, but the issue was the Metra dash kit, which just uses whatever random measurements they see fit I suppose. Most people I see having to hack those things. Don't assume this thing is the wrong size I guess, check your dash kit.Nice screen, touch pretty good, not fantastic off angle, but absolutely great for the price. Not sure what the sound quality is like, but I expect it to be terrible, if you want decent audio, you should be using an external amplifier.

So I thought I would try this Alondy Head unit. The first one I received was obviously used so I sent it back for a replacement....so dumb, I should have stopped right, got my refund and left but the unit actually 'looks' nice...I wanted it to work, second mistake. So I wired it in after having to alter my dash mount since the holes on the unit are off from side to side and non-US standard...poor QC. The instructions are horrible but if you have done this before you can figure it out. So the Good first. It starts up rather quickly a big plus and the sound quality for mp3's and phone calls is excellent. I was able to use the steering controls as I already had a PAC unit from the last stereo. I was able to use mirror-link and the Android Auto function worked well. The good ends there. The FM tuner (no AM) is sooo bad. A signal booster will not help, there is an issue internal to the unit design. Glitchy-ness: Sometimes it saves your stations...sometimes not, it depends how it feels that day. You may press a function, press again...and then press again...it may work or execute a different function...again, depend on the day it is having. As I left my dash bezel off, I can tell you this unit gets so hot you could probably cook on it....which means it probably will only last a few months. There is no cooling fan and the housing seems to be plastic thought it could be a thin aluminum....maybe. The cons severely outweigh the pros especially if you want an FM tuner that works and to avoid a trip to the insane asylum muttering.."but but I know what I pressed...it just does what it wants...it..just..does whatever it wants."

Less than two weeks and it's already acting up. It's a guessing game when I start the car if CarPay is going to connect and work or not and there's no way to manually connect it without shutting off the car and trying again and hoping. When it works this radio is worth the price. I say spend a few more bucks and get a little better quality. Already threw away the box when it was working for the few 1st days so I can't return it. Proceed at your own risk.

The double din was so so to install, took a little patience and time to get perfect.Touch screen works great, nice and bright. Controls are easy to figure out and easy to set up.Backup camera needed a bracket of some sort to be mounted properly to our truck and it was a little of a pain to install but works great.Voice control works pretty good but sometimes doesn't hear you when driving down the road.Stereo is made nice and seems pretty sturdy. So far works good.

The media could not be loaded.  Please don’t waste your money. The unit doesn’t even function properly after 1 hour of use. It started touching on its own and there’s literally no audio, the volume button stopped working, it wouldn’t even pair with my phone anymore. Basically a waste of $80. Customer service is lacking in responses. Honestly, just get a proper deck.

I was looking to upgrade my original stereo in my car and so far, I've had no problems with this. With Apple car play and Android auto you can make phone calls, send messages, manage GPS or music without removing your hands off the wheel. The sound quality is really good and loud. The rear view back up camera is an added bonus the camera quality was impressive. There is no lag in the screen when you put the car in reverse which is extremely impressive. Overall, I recommend getting this.

This is a universal double din media player that incudes many things you’ll need for the install. But not all. Just be aware of that. I did try to install it myself but I literally have 0 knowledge on these things. I did watch some YouTube videos and probably could have spent the entire day figuring it out but ain’t nobody got time for that. Btw I had it installed in a 2012 Nissan Sentra. I called around and found a guy to install it in his shop. It took him about 3 hours to install this, and the back up camera and whatever parts were missing he had in his shop (which was a gps antenna and some other small thing) This guy has been installing radios for 40 years so he definitely knows what he’s doing and still took about 3 hours.Okay past the install, I absolutely love this upgrade. It automatically connects with my phone when I turn on my car. The screen is easy to navigate and very responsive. The only complaint is while it’s in wireless CarPlay mode, the screen disappears to a screen saver randomly. Which is a little annoying if following a map. I read that this is a common bug for wireless car play in general so I won’t fault the unit. However it would be nice if they can push an update to address this bug. If I used the wired car play, this is no issue.Back up camera works great. But the guide lines that show up on the screen are not super accurate in terms of how wide the car is but I honestly expect that for being a universal device. I live in Montreal do do a ton of parallel parking so this does come in handy in terms of how much wiggle room I got in the back or making sure the back bumper doesn’t go over an orange line etc. So it still is very useful to me.All in all this is a very well welcomed upgrade to my car. Thanks!

Overall a decent head unit. Android auto works OK wireless. For some reason after a minute or two I need to reconnect it when I first start my car. After that it works fine. Phone mirror with wire doesn't work for meHowever, the biggest reason I bought this particular unit was because of the USB C port. It is not a fast charge. I would connect it with a brand new cable and on a 45 to 1 hour drive it'll charge my phone 2 or 3% at most. Same result with different cables. So buy the cheaper units since the USB C port is useless.Also. I bought the harness to use steering wheel controls on my 2010 focus. I cannot for the life of me get them to work. (Yes I am aware they are canbus signal and need a converter box which I do have) so don't hold your breath on steering wheel controls.But overall, I've had worse head units. Android auto works relatively well and thats all that really matters

Nice radio, play music via bluetooth very well and the backup camera is clear,but unable to connect android auto. It would be good to know that it only support android auto 4.0 to 9.0 before buying it.

Vraiment pour le prix, je suis surpris. Aucune difficulté à l’installation et tout fonctionne comme décrit. J’ai pimpé mon vieux 1999 en technologie 2023.

It came with 2 metal brackets that don't seem to fit it anywhere and it came with no instructions so I can't even figure out what the brackets are for
