Let me paint a picture: I've been toying for a while with the idea of buying an aftermarket touchscreen radio for my 2005 Honda CR-V... until my battery died and I didn't have the code to reset the original radio. So here I am needing a new radio.After a bit of research on Amazon I came across this one. Cheap, good reviews, let's give it a try.My process was kinda rushed, so I had no idea what the installation was gonna be like, nor what other things like "trim kits" were or wiring harnesses.I bought the radio alongside the recommended antenna adapter for my CR-V. Well, turns out I didn't need the antenna adapter, take note if you have the same car.I then proceeded to buy some quick crimp connectors alongside with the crimper/wire cutter tool.Ok, a bit more elaborate than I thought.Now, I do think I am quite a bit more handy than the average, but this was a first for me too.I removed the original stereo and unplugged the 2 wiring harnesses going into it and the antenna cable.Turns out that one harness was not needed at all. Good, less work for me.The antenna cable was good for the new radio too.BUT the next set of wires that went into the radio was going to be quite a bit of work. This is when I would have loved to know that there are such things as wiring harness adapters. They basically connect the wires that went into your old stereo and arrange them so that they'll work on your new radio.Plug and play basically. Unfortunately I can't tell you what wire harness works for you as I didn't use one.What I did do was cut the existing wiring harness to free all the terminals. I then stripped them all and crimped the quick connectors in place. One by one.Then I surfed the web to find a wiring diagram. Great, found one!Too bad that quite a few wire colors were wrong/mixed up, and to make it worse, some of the wires on the car were basically identical.I crimped the wire terminals supplied with the stereo and then connected the wires together looking at the diagram online and the booklet that came with the new stereo.First try, no luck, turned on for 2 second and then turned off. But at least it turned on.Turns out that it would have been nice to have a better diagram with he right colors. I switched a couple of wires and bam, the radio turned on, but the music only came from 1 out of 4 speakers. Not too bad.Switched some other wires and shazam! Music from all the speakers.Ok, great, now let me close everything up. Yeah, uhm, so that's what trim kits are for. Turns out that without trim kits you'll see the edges of the radios that should be hidden. Not ideal. Bought a cheap trim by Metra that was supposed to fit. Aaand, it didn't.Had to hack it and cut the frame short to make it fit, put some take to hide the cut and that's how it remains now. Still not the best fit, but good enough for me not to loose my mind when looking at it.All in all the process took me about 3 days having to work for an hour at a time as I didn't really have the time. If you truly take a whole day or weekend off and dedicate it to this project, you'll most likely make it work. That is if you're average in handiness.I don't really have the time to mess with the backup camera, yet, once I have more time I'll try to get into it. But it should be a fairly easy process.The audio is pretty good and I'm happy with it. The radio doesn't work in you're in CarPlay mode, and that's a bit of a bummer. CarPlay only works if you plug the phone in with a cable.I'm happy with the purchase and the process. My car looks a lot smarter now that I have the touchscreen. The installation problems were not due to the stereo itself, but rather because of the poor wiring diagrams from my older car. Your wiring diagrams might be spot on and make the process so much smoother.I'd buy it again.

The media could not be loaded. This thing is a piece of trash. I installed two days ago using vehicle specific wiring harnesses, and already it is tweaking out. It switches between sources randomly, changes volume up and down, and I can’t even shut it off because it keeps turning back on, all this without even touching it. Total piece of garbage don’t waste your time.

Updated April 29:The seller contacted me to make things right. I’ve got to say, this company has great customer service. My radio was not functioning properly and the CarPlay and MirrorLink wouldn’t work. Along with that, the radio looked dated and not very good looking at all. However, the company reached out to me to send out a new unit. It came in 2 days and it’s honestly really nice. If you wire things up properly, you have yourself a really nice radio! The CarPlay looks decent, the mirror link works well, and the Bluetooth is also a nice feature. I really think they went above and beyond to make me happy and I really appreciate it from a customer standpoint. For the price, this radio is super nice. It may not be the absolute fastest and high resolution, but for the unbeatable price I feel like there is really no competition with big brands. If you’re looking to upgrade your stock radio, this is defenitely a good option. The only downside is that you need the right mounting trim if you care about looks, as well as a module for the wires, but that’s standard for all aftermarket radios out there.—Original Review:1 starsOverall, the radio works. Backup camera won’t work even after taking it to a local auto shop that specializes in stereo systems. When i connect my phone to the USB, the radio just turns off and restarts which requires a full vehicle restart to work. The Bluetooth does work. The sound quality is surprisingly decent.. another issue is that I’m not sure what version I got of this radio, but all of the other reviews look different. there’s no button to change the user interface on the screen and it’s stuck with portrait photos of landscapes, as shown in the video. Overall not too bad if you just need a replacement but too bad that the CarPlay dosent work for mine.

Overall is a amazing product and works as should I bought this bevquse it was cheaper and I did not want to pull my old one out of my other Monte Carlo and I also bought it for the phone mirroring. It’s easy to install other then it being out of country so it’s not exactly just color to color. The screen mirroring works okay but not great. Connecting to it and using it is easy and simple along with the music controls the speed is normal no issues and it fits almost perfectly it took me 2 months until I realized the smallest gap in between it and the dash, again the connectivity is simple but a little complex it’s not all color to color if I’m not mistaken there green (should be ground) was there hot but if I had to choose again I would probably go to auto zone only because it had more useful features
