I took this stereo on a road trip and the built-in GPS with GLONASS was flawless. It kept strong signals even in rural areas and guided me perfectly to my destination.

The sound system is powerful. Bass is deep, vocals are clear, and there¡¯s no distortion even at high volume. My car feels like a concert hall now.
Charles Hall –
I was worried about fitment, but the frame lines up perfectly with my trim. It OTA updates installed cleanly with no errors. It also the microphone for calls is crisp and background noise is low. Plus, USB?C fast charging keeps my phone topped up. used a panel tool to avoid scratching the trim. Firmware guide was clear and well written. Took one star away since the brightness slider is a touch sensitive at night. Everything works as advertised¡ªwould absolutely recommend.
