  • I love my stereo
This is an amazing head unit. Sound quality: Amazing, Features: Amazing, only issues I have are with the screen dimness, and the the connectivity with Android Auto. The screen is mainly concerning my personal wallpapers, and the connectivity I feel/ hope is my phone.

  • Solid but can.t download apps
Awesome quality on the physical construction. Screen is fantastic. Sound quality is decent. My biggest gripe is that other competitive screens run on a version of android that lets you download apps. Not seeing this one allow that.

  • Great unit. Just get it.
Installed in 2009 tundra SR5 with an adapter bundle and it worked great. Love the swivel option and the wireless CarPlay. The 3 camera is a fantastic feature that definitely is commanding a big price for the unit but I wish it was a 4 camera option for the front and sides too. Sounds great even on a stock anemic oem speakers. Very highly recommended. I’m sure the prices will come down eventually. ... show more

  • So much better than AX8100
I purchased this reciever to replace the AX8100 that came installed in my 2024 Entegra Odyssey. The number one issue I had with the 8100 was the inability to see the screen with polarized sunglasses, the screen just appeared solid black. The screen on the 8500 allows the use of polarized sunglasses. Additionally the screen is much clearer, and sharper and shows less glare than the 8100. The audio is also substantially improved over the 8100. Even with the same speakers it sounds amazing. Android Auto works wirelessly connecting automatically. No regrets on this purchase at all. I am very happy with the unit. ... show more

  • CarPlay texting doesn’t work
The media could not be loaded. I purchased this unit specifically for the CarPlay functionality. It was professionally installed. Unfortunately, the unit is glitchy and does not allow user to send voice messages. While CarPlay works fine in all other vehicles, I haven’t been able to get this unit to work reliably with several different phones. While factory resets will restore the functionality temporarily, it reverts to being unable to send messages within a short period. Very frustrating. I recommend avoiding this product. ... show more
