I bought this as a supplement to getting a backup camera for my 2005 Dodge Ram as I didn't want a standalone LCD screen to add to my already crowded dash. I had moderate expectations for this unit. After all, the price point is low and you generally get what you pay for.

So far, after about 2 weeks of use, I can say I am overall very happy and certainly am surprised about one feature which is the Bluetooth microphone. I was actually mad that this unit did not come with a separate external microphone on a wire to be placed elsewhere because it's been my experience that built-in microphones like the one in this unit don't tend to function very well. People can tell that I'm not on my phone, but nobody has complained about call clarity, so definitely a big bonus there.

I've used my USB a couple of times. I have music on a 32GB stick, but it's a little clunky to sort through the folders. Because the Bluetooth audio is so good (very clear with nary a skip or hiccup), I don't even have a need for the USB stick anymore.

I haven't watched a DVD on here nor have I used the CD/DVD player, so I can't speak to those.

So for pros:
- Bluetooth call clarity and music function is flawless. Also connecting a device was very quick and easy - more so than my previous unit and other units I've connected my phone to in my travels.
- Audio clarity is good for a 13x4 system. As long as you don't expect hi-fi sound from this unit, you'll be happy.
- Picture for my backup camera works very well. The universal input (RCA) makes things that much better.

Cons:
- Only bass and treble for sound adjustment. If you're looking for more of an equalizer, you'll need to shell out a few more bucks.
- Buttons around knob are a little small if you have big fingers like me.

Overall, this is a very good buy, especially for under $200. How long it will last remains to be seen, but as a low-end product it has everything I was looking for and I would recommend anyone in the market for a single DIN DVD player to give this unit a solid look.

In six months of use this device has not let me down once. Music sounds great. The video picture is very clear and colors are wonderful. Bluetooth sounds great and call receivers do not complain of interference; also has never dropped one call. The user interface is simple and easy-to-use. The unit offers unbelievable overall value. Even at a more expensive price point, it's hard to find a better deal than this.

The day I got it installed in my truck and wouldn't play any disc reset it disc played but once u take it out and put another in u would have to reset again so I sent it back that same night. I honestly wouldn't recommended this product to anyone. Spend a little more and get a brand name.
