The radio off of seicane or siecane (I forget the name 100%) is better IMO. Has built in car play with a more upgraded screen and better amplifier built in. Just way more responsive too and obviously android 10. Car play versions are based of your phones version so nothings changed and once you plug your iPhone in the usb connector, you get CarPlay right up. Just a better one than this if you wanted to spend extra money.

@AccordEmpire 3 жыл бұрын

So in all truth, I’m running amps for both my speakers and subwoofer. After installing the radio, I realized that’s the volume had dropped. I adjusted the amps so it sounds better but still not as loud as when I had factory radio. Overall it still sounds really good, but it’s not super loud. But tbh even when I had factory, I never had the volume all the way up. Guess it’s just the thought of it.

I have added 3.75 door tweeters and used my original wires for those. Everything else runs off the amps. You have to really dial it it on the head unit so it doesn't send a clip signal to the amp robbing headroom.
