It's been a few days since i've installed this, and i'd like to give some experience pro's and con's! Pros: - Bluetooth music starts instantly as the device turns on. - Bluetooth music sound quality and phenomenal - The sound this thing puts out to the speakers, again is phenomenal - It works pretty quickly, and barely any lag through the UI or bluetooth Cons: - iPhone's do not work through USB due to Mirrorlink - No dimmer, a little awkward at night time - Will not fit your dash kit, have to jank it in somehow and will not look clean Honestly for $60, this has been something that literally makes me want to go for a drive and play with it. I'm blown away by the sound, which is the main focus and i'm sure all the multimedia and such works great!

On the latest version, 2023, you go into iPhone settings and turn on debugging mode. I've just bought this radio for my son's vehicle and had no issue connecting my iPhone. It connected without my having to do anything. You might look at an update as the interface on yours is different than mine though appears to be the same radio model. Has a pretty awesome EQ. Great vid!

And post thought, remember this is a wish budget screen, please don't compare this to high cost main stream branding. Nor is this car actually to get big money put in areas that aren't too important 🙂 it served it's purpose but if you're looking for Pioneer/Sony etc flagship quality... Start saving, there's generally not many short cuts if you want your stereo area flush and great quality across everything.

I got this radio from ebay for $45, its good but now I want my steering wheel controls back and Android play, waze. Also looking for better sound quality. I don't like that it only has 2 brightness settings, its kinda lags at times. But you get what you pay for.

I have the 7018b, it's more convenient to just use a small USB for music than using a phone (Though adding new music can be annoying). Volume knob seems weird, its inconsistent. From volume 5-15 it goes up nicely, from 5-25 it barely goes louder, from 25-30 it goes louder and so on. Quality isnt the greatest, 60w x4 is actually 40w x4, checked mosfet i side. For the 45w x4 version, its correct. Ive installed a 12'' subwoofer with it. That also has the weird volume increase thing, but it seems the RCA-s dont put out a lot of volts, so you'd have to increase the gains on external amplifier. Also it distorts the speakers easily (I use the HU to power front speakers - Hertz 45w rms) maybe cuz i have the loudness on.

Now I've been putting my ocd / add brain to the wiring process, for those that don't have sleeves and a heat gun (or pocket lighter) you can get wiring butts / connectors that just clip together for effortless electric connections which don't require a sleeve as they generally have one ready to go or don't need it all together. I've never touched a solder so I wouldn't feel comfortable doing it that way. And the twist and sleeve... Those jutty bits would irk me, but Colton knows that's me just being anal, if you're on a budget build / beater build with limited resources, as the big dog said, his way works totally fine 😆 can't wait to see how this'll handle the double 14" sub install champ 😜

To add to this, I've been checking retails stores and giving things "deep consideration" and feigning interest in the higher priced ones to keep them hovering and stroke my chin sagely and say I'll sleep on it and make a decision tomorrow 😜, asking questions so I know what to look for size wise and what will fit snuggly to a double din face, from there it's mostly sound quality and screen response, check online for product reviews and features like using maps / 3rd party phone app maps (radars etc) and can you easily stream music whilst using other functions. Just remember mid-range and under, don't really come with "amps" so if you've got heavy aftermarket speakers, you'll still want to get an appropriate amp to utilize them
