More frustrating than helpful
I don’t normally write reviews for products even though I order almost everything from amazon.They say people are more likely to review a product if it’s a bad one and I’m afraid this one is.Ive had the product for around 6 weeks now so I feel that I can give an accurate description.After reading the reviews on this product I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it as it seemed to be exactly what I was looking for.The main reason I bought this product was for the Bluetooth phone call capabilities....Well I’m sorry to say that this feature is awful. Every single person I have been on the phone with through this system simply cannot hear a word I’m saying. I find myself shouting at the top of my lungs for anyone to even remotely pick up what I’m saying and usually it’s to say “I’ll call you back” because the microphone is absolutely less than useless.I’ve just had another infuriating episode with it minutes ago which has urged me to leave this review.Another thing possibly worth noting is that after a few days of fitting this product in my transit connect van, the driver side speaker had blown and stopped working. Obviously I can’t confirm if it was this product that caused that but thought it was worth mentioning.I was excited about this product when I first bought it and now I wish I spent a little bit extra money and went for a reputable brand.

Does what it's meant to!
I bought it to throw into an old 1995 Ford Escort. All in all, it's great value for money just for the fact of the built in Bluetooth and I have given it 5 stars for this. Streams Spotify fine, and controls the next / back tracks as it should. Hands free calling is not great as the mic is built in and it doesn't have a socket for an external one. This is made worse with the microphone being located on the left of the radio, so designed for left hand drive cars. Still, if you have a quiet cockpit, it will be fine for you.The remote control is a bit of a waste of time. It utilises old infa-red technology so will only work when the wheel is straight so it has line of sight to the radio, and doesn't work at all in bright sunlight. I've shown what it looks like fitted with it's velcro strap to my wheel in a photo, but I won't be using it. The radio is fine but there is no RDS so you'll find yourself looking at frequencies instead of radio station names. Oh and I spent a couple of minutes trying to set the clock and failed!

Cheap but works.
Cheap but works great. Installation was a bit hard for me because the image that shows what the back of the stereo looks like (on amazom) is upside down so I struggled to get the wires to reach. Because of this its currently installed upside down but apart from that it works great. Remote control can be a little temperamental but does work.

It’s ok for the money.
So been a month! For the price it’s ok.Important to know that the jack on the back is UNIVERSAL. This means provided your original wires haven’t been hacked it will swap over using an additional purchase of change over cable. I can’t fault this for £20 odd quid. The mic for Bluetooth calls is poor but everything else is fine.

Cheap Bluetooth stereo
Bought this stereo to add Bluetooth to my car. The wiring was a pain as the colours didn't match what was already in my car but no problems after installation. Could use a mode to keep the time on the display when in Bluetooth mode though.

Excellent Sound & value for money.
Excellent sounding car stereo.. Took my old one out & just plugged the new one in exactly the same connectors.. 5mins of a job.For less than £30 you can’t go wrong,does exactly what it says on the Tin... The only problem I found was that I think the remote control was made with left hand drive cars in mind as if you are putting it in a UK car the remote doesn’t work if you put it on the right side of the steering wheel..so if you put it on the left hand side technically it’s upside down..🤣🤣 But that is a minor issue.. all in all excellent buy & can see why it come in at number 5 in the top 10 UK Best Review Guide with a 8.5 score..👍👍

Good cheap radio
Good radio for the price. It was cheap however would have been better if the lights dimmed while you were driving and was compatible with steering wheel controls. Still solid though

not bad for its price
Easy to install, sounds great only issue was the remote control didn't work and felt to bulky, but wasn't enough of an issue to return, still a nice little radio.
