Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was originally between this and Chinese Bosion radio, and initially went with the Bosion. At first that unit was ok, but after two months, I couldn't stand it any more and pulled it our and decided to go with this radio. Please keep in mind the 5 stars is a rating of the value of this unit, not a rating compared to higher end units. I installed it in a 2011 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab with the original Rockford Fosgate OEM unit, and kept the amplifier from the OEM unit. This unit doesn't have a lot of frills, but accomplishes my needs: -Descent sound and radio reception -Nice screen for backup camera -Bluetooth for streaming/phone Pros: -Outstanding sound quality (I'm no audiophile). Lightyears beyond the Bosion (also sold under the Pugpug brand and many other names) Much better than the last. -Bluetooth sound is great, both on streaming and on phone calls. Callers on the other end couldn't tell I was on Bluetooth. (Note: where you mount the unit makes a difference) -Radio reception is extraordinary. Recently travel to Northern Wisconsin and was able to receive radio stations from home for well beyond any other radio I've had. -Simple Radio when you want it. I can leave the screen in and not have a giant glaring distracting screen staring at me while I drive, but can pop the screen up for backup camera when needed. Cons: -As other users have pointed out, trying to fool the clock out of using RDS time will drive you mad. Probably a result of such a strong tuner in the unit picking up eastern timezone time signals. -Screen and digits are a bit dim in bright light. -There is no illumination hook up, so it will not auto dim adjust based on dash/headlight settings. Not a deal breaker, as I set mine to red and works fine for day/night. -Sticks out of the dash a bit more than I desired, but this is required for the screen to have enough clearance to deploy. Just and FYI, this unit doesn't interface with Iphones via the small connector, but the streaming via bluetooth works great. Some other notes: -There is no "amp on" signal wire, so you have to wire your amp on directly to the acc/on. I wired my amp signal directly to the power wire for the radio. -I custom fit my Metra face plate to allow be able to install the radio in the lower position. All the kits are set up for the radio to be in the upper portion of the mounting kit. The Scoche kit for the Nisan Frontier will not work for this radio, you have to use the Metra as it has a wider clearance. Hope this helps!
