Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the av receiver. Some mention that it sounds great, has a very good stereo, and the volume knob is crisp in volume changes. However, others say that it's not loud enough, has too much alternator noise, and has choppy sound. The Bluetooth is extremely quiet, and there's no way to auto dim with headlights. The unit apparently has no built in noise suppression, so you will need to get an in-line noise suppression kit.

This is not a high end head unit for an audiophile as evidenced by the price. This is a good basic unit that connects easily to phones, sounds pretty good, and has a big fat volume knob. Only downside is it doesn’t dim with headlights on but the blue light isn’t so bright at night to be distracting (not half as bright as touchscreens in modern cars). Easy as any other aftermarket radio to install. Buy a dash kit and a wiring harness and watch a YouTube video. Anyone can do it.
Oh yeah. After it was on for 5-10 minutes I removed it from my car and burnt my finger. Not just really warm. All the metal parts were too hot to touch.
Buttons and volume knob feel cheap, as if just normal use will quickly break them.
The removable faceplate is precarious, just trying to remove a USB cable will pull the whole thing off the unit.
The display is perfect not too bright at night, and not dim during the day. The buttons however are very bright, so much so its distracting at night. I have yet to find a way to adjust the brightness of either the buttons or the display.
The hands free functionality is unusable in all but a literal sense. Technically you can place calls, if you have the number memorized and feel like fumbling with the remote, at which point your contact list in your phone will be easier and faster. You can receive calls, but since this unit uses your phones mic, you have to hold your phone to your face at which point you might as well just use your phone because you can't hear anything anyway.
The Bluetooth media functionality is essentially a wireless aux cord, with no media info, or the ability to navigate your phones folders. Next and last buttons do change the track but only in the media folder you selected from your phones media player to play from.
The USB port does appear to charge your phone at a normal rate (not really slow like some of these) but I have yet to be able to use it for anything but charging. I will try a few different cables to verify this and update later. I have not yet tried the USB flash drive functionality.
As I use this unit more I will update this review
I was hoping for a great deal on a unit that (from the pictures) didn't look gimmicky or cheap, and had all the functionality I wanted.
What I got was a very good sounding unit, with minimally adequate functionality that does look a tiny bit cheap with VERY overbright buttons.
I feel what you get for the price falls in the range of fair.
I have paid less for units with better functionality, but more for units with inferior sound quality.
If you just want something somewhat inexpensive that sounds good, and don't mind bright lights in the dash while your driving, I would say definitely buy it.
If your looking for hands free functionality definitely don't buy it
Aesthetically everyone has their own opinions, personally I could do without the bouncing bar graphs on each side of the display, and the over bright buttons, but otherwise I like the appearance of this unit.
7/20/18 update
I have now had this unit installed for almost 2 years, and its still functioning just as it did when I installed it.
I did have some trouble with random power downs and not reading my USB flash drive, but it turned out to be caused by the face plate.
After I removed and replaced the face plate, and cycled the power the problems went away.
The USB port works well for USB flash drives loaded with music. I never did get the USB tether to connect to any of my android phones.
One annoyance I have discovered: As stated in my original review the hands free bluetooth functionality is more or less useless.
If a phone has been bluetooth paired with the unit at any time, and if the bluetooth on the phone is on when a call is received, even after setting up not to, the unit will try to hijack the call, then after telling the phone to return to the handset for the call, a few minutes later the unit will hijack the call again. this will continue until bluetooth on the handset in question is disabled. This will even occur as far as 20 feet away from the vehicle.
