    MY REVIEW:
    I have it installed in my 03 TL-S. (I had a 7" JVC Double Din previously)
    Pros: Great screen res, good sound quality, easy to use.
    My Cons: I have tried 3 different (all new) micro SD cards that work for a day or two - then stops working and is not recognized by the unit. I plug the cards in other devices and they work without issue.
    The screen gets extremely hot - like amplifier hot. Start up time and Carplay takes a long time to connect.
    Overall: Good unit for the price.

    • @jamesr8552
      @jamesr8552 Рік тому

      I have one . If everything else behind the radio is nice it will sound very good. I paired this radio with 4 new door speakers , new inside amp. And a subwoofer/ second amp in trunk. It sounds beautiful. I’m sure if I had a pioneer or something double the price it would sound SLIGHTLY better.

    I don't have the boot logo option, how do you activate it?
    Edit: I contacted customer service and they solved the problem for me, you just have to follow the instructions below
    F7 series car radio can choose its own boot logo. You can refer to the following steps to set it up. 1). Click the vehicle Seettings application to enter the setting interface.
    2). Click to enter the System Settings page.
    3). Click on the Date & Time page.
    4). Set the time to 2008-01-08 01:08 24H.
    5). Click the back button on the header page to exit to the Settings interface, and click on the Dispiay Settings page.
    6). On the Dispiay Settings page, pull down the progress bar on the right to the bottom option, and click on the Boot Logo Settings page.
    7). Enter the Boot Logo Settings page.
    Have a nice day!

I'm wanting to buy this type of unit & hence my requirement for better clarification of some of the features that he did not handle or express very well!! Otherwise a mediocre video offering & therefore I'll no doubt need to search further for a higher quality video presentation of this particular head unit!!
