My update on this radio: it works really good and i actually enjoy it. my only complaint is that the little lights under the buttons on the bottom panel don’t light up so you can’t tell what setting it’s on when you hit it and i can’t control my AC through the touch screen. idk why but it won’t let me.

Hi budd, questions are you still loving your radio? does your car seat heater works or does your stirring wheel bottom also work?

[@Kingcustomz]

hey there, I sold the car a little while ago. while I had the vehilcle I did love the radio.. It worked well for me.. I know some people have mixed reviews but it worked awesome .

[@don7680]

Sure more functionality, but I doubt this has a better amplifier than the stock unit. I would assume it sounds worse? Also, if you just want to add blue tooth mainly there are bt receivers that plug directly into the aux input that have WAY better sound than the units that play through your FM band.

[@Kingcustomz]

it worked really well

[@kevinrainbolt5962]

I bought the same radio for my 2014 and I don’t have A/C. Did the little blue plug in fit into your radio? Or am I just having a difficult time for nothing?

[@DavidBraasch]

I bought one and have issues with mine. 1. The head unit doesn’t sleep/turn off with the key. It just stays on and drains the battery. 2. My odometer is in kilometers now. 3. HVAC controls are in Celsius.

[@Kingcustomz]

There is a chance your old radio used to stay on as well, you probably didn’t realize it. You have a parasitic draw somewhere. The odometer can change back to miles, mine did that when i first bought it. Just play with the info and setup buttons by the drivers door. HVAC you can play with the Celsius and Fahrenheit in the radio settings

[@ettcon]

Thanks for the video. I have the same system in the same car. Everytime I start it, it does 6 big "KLONGS" in the loudspeakers. Any clue ?
