Good quality item. Didn't install though, had to return for full refund because traded in my old subaru for new one. Had no problem with refund which is also good...

I am giving this head unit a five-star review. However I wish it could be 4.9.In retrospect this unit was a very easy install in my 2017 Subaru Outback.Once installed the unit is very snappy, it looks great, it functions very very well. But there are a few caveats...There seems to be an issue with what I suspect my exact phone model Samsung Galaxy s23 Ultra where it will not consistently connect via Bluetooth. This is how I wanted to use my system, I just hop in my car, put my phone on the charger, and we're good to go.After many hours of troubleshooting, it was determined that this will function as I wanted, But I had to connect via wired USB.I am the kind of guy who likes to cut out steps and wants things to be seamless. While it is still an inconvenience, through it all it's a very minor one that I can learn to live with.Additionally, Cheney was relentless and I say this in a good way. He was very helpful, attentive, and really helps me a lot.Overall I love this system, It's just that one quirk that I wish we could have made work that would have made this 5.0.So if you read my review and you have an A23 Ultra... Take note and avoid the headaches, plug it in with a USB cord lol!

Purchased this stereo to replace the OEM one in my 2015 Outback. The installation is simple and easy. Their customer service, Cheney, was good and replied my questions quickly and with details.CarPlay, Steering Wheel controls, Microphone, and FM radio function well. However, there is no AM radio. After contacting Mekede, Cheney sent me a new antenna adaptor. This adaptor did help some. I also found this AM radio issue has been mentioned in other reviewers' comments. I then followed what Trail Jogger's comment by installing a new cable into the 10-pin harness to power the OEM antenna and got a very good result.BTW, to use the OEM USB ports, I also followed Trail Jogger's comment and installed the Car Radio Factory USB Port Retention Cable. The result is good too.Anyway, this is a good head unit.

Les instructions ne sont pas clair, j'ai plusieurs années d'expérience en installation de systèmes de sons de voiture et je confirme qu'il manque de documentation.Le vendeur répond au question et il essaie d'aider.Par contre le produit n'est pas bien conçu pour etre compatible avec mon Subaru Outback 2018 avec systeme Harman Kardon.Si vous avez le même modèle que moi je ne recommande pas.J'ai effectué un retour il y a plus de 10 jours et je n'ai aucune nouvelle du vendeur ou de mon remboursement.

Installed this headunit in to my Subaru Liberty, installation instructions could of been better but managed to work it out.I now have Android Auto which works great, headunit works great, no lag. Definitely recommend.

I was quite impressed with this head unit as the design was very nice and had an OEM look. Note that if you do not have much experience with car stereo electronics, or you do not feel confident in your abilities, its best to leave the installation of this to the professionals. However, if you have even the slightest technical know-how, the installation is a breeze! The device is truly plug and play with its included hardness. My backup camera and all steering wheel controls work great. The included microphone and GPS units worked perfectly and I had no trouble locating an area to mount them. The head unit itself is beautiful, as mentioned before ,it looks very OEM. It is a really nice upgrade to my old factory radio. Do note though that you do lose some of your cars system/maintenance info that are built into your factory headunit. This was a not an issue fir me, since I rarely use those. Besides, I am sure you can easily replace those old features with an OBDII reader and an android application of your choice. I did not get a chance to try the included data sim card port, however it is a very much appreciated. What really shines for me with this head unit is the apple carplay functionality. I do not need a separate data plan for my car as I can simple sync it with my phone and be on my way. Note that, if you wish to use your factory USB ports, you will need a factory port to USB A adapter. I found that the AXUSB-UB2 worked perfectly for this. Had a adapter for the factory USB ports been included, I would have given this device 5 start. This unit does come with detailed information, though there are no step by step instructions (from removal of your old unit to installing the new one). This is fine though as a lot of info onto remove your factory head unit can be found online. Overall this is an excellent product and I am very happy with my purchase.

I got this for my Subaru because of the delaminating screen issues.I have been able to get everything working. Read other reviews here.They talk about the duel antenna plug you need to buy. And the USB plug to get the factory plugs connected. Also, the screen material sucks really bad. Just touching it scratches. Can’t stress it enough that you must must must get a glass screen protector at the same time. I didn’t. And regretted it so much I returned the unit and started over. Second time around I installed the screen protector before installing it in the car. It was easier that way too. The glass screen protector feels much better. Your finger glides on the screen and no scratches.Order them at the same time.Then their are two tricky things you need to do, but no cutting or splicing.For the back up camera. One of the new harnesses that come with the radio has a male yellow RCA plug. Another harness that plugs into a different spot also has a yellow RCA plug but it’s female. Plug those RCA plugs together for the camera.The Subaru’s antenna has a power booster. The included harnesses are not pinned out correctly to supply the power needed. Look for the other reviewers post with his picture. You will not have any signal strength for radio if you don’t do this. If you don’t buy that new harness I mentioned above you will only have FM no AM. When you find you don’t have any radio signal. You’ll need to do this yellow wire swap I write about below.You only need to remove the yellow wire and pin from a plug on the supplied harness that’s not used in your application on your radio. It’s part of the harness that is being used, but it’s a plug off of it that’s doesn’t get anything plugged into it. You’ll find it. Find the plug that you are using that matches the other reviewers picture. Insert that pin in the correct spot in the plug being used. It will match up to a yellow wire from the car side. The trick is knowing how to remove the pin without damaging it. Then just insert it into that correct spot on the plug that is being used. It’s the 12 volts your antenna booster needs.If you do it like that you don’t need to cut any wires.After that you need to explore all the settings. you have a lot of options to make the display what you want when you turn the key. I have an iPhone and use Waze. It can have it set to wirelessly work and open carplay automatically.The radio is basically an android tablet. I don’t have one and am not familiar with a tablet at all, so it was a bit of a learning curve for me setting the radio display and options up the way I like. The sound system has multiple equalizers and adjustments. I was able to make it sound really good. The display is sharp and crisp. The back up lines in the camera do not respond to the steering wheel, but the lines themselves has adjustments. The picture is just as nice as the factory radio. It took me some time playing with everything. I’ll probably tweek things some more. Fun playing. Also, you get google and can Surf internet while driving. You can watch Netflix movies while driving. You can down load other apps and use. So far I found I have to have my iPhone physically connect thru a USB port to get the internet. But carplay is wireless. If I was to do it over, I would buy the next model up with a bit better memory. But so far I haven’t tried to upload any music so not sure if I need more memory. I stream everything off Amazon music. Another app you just download into the radio.
