I love this head unit so far, the Apple car play is on point. I highly recommend this product.

has Apple carplay for way under $200

I bought this unit because it had Apple carplay. Install was pretty straight forward, don't necessarily like having an expternal mic for the phone but I think I hid it well enough. everything about the unit works well. Bluetooth works great, unit starts playing from my phone before the screen has even finished it start up process

Good value for the Money so far

I have had this unit installed for 3weeks now and about what I expected for the money. I will say upfront this even at the 189 price point this is still an entry-level unit for android auto/car play with 7" screen. I use this with an LG g6 and so far so good. I would like to note get you a good USB cable for your phone! I was ready to put in a service request for mine because android auto kept disconnecting but a quick look online I saw that cheap cables just don't cut it. I bought an Anker Powerline 1m cable and no issue since unless I move my phone a lot.
The good is it seems to be a good value for an android auto unit for less than 200 dollars. Once loaded android auto is pretty responsive to my G6 and with a PAC-SWI controller I was able to set up my steering wheel in my 09 lancer to work with it.
The only bad I can really say about it so far is load times. It takes an average of 6 seconds to load initially from when Dual screen comes up and android auto unless connected before the start can take up to 12 seconds to load. That could be because of my phone and is really only a nitpick. In case any are wondering the backup camera will come on even when loading screen is on so you don't have to wait for it to full start-up to get your camera.
So far so good I gave this 4 stars because I think its good but doesn't really surprise me for the price. I think is a good value and I will try to update if anything changes soon.

Dual DMCPA79BT

So far the Dual DMCPA79BT works great. Carplay, the remote, and backup cam function great. Very good price, seems like great buy for the money.

Good head unit

Only had it for a few day’s and I like it it’s really cool and I love the apple car play

Great value!

Great quality easy to install my husband loved it very much

Definitely a great value. Installation was fairly straught forward, but I admit my friend is a pro and helped a lot.

Android Auto and Apple Car Play work well and will keep my kid's eyes on the road instead of their phones.

Great product

This product was great, but unfortunately, I had to return it due to my vehicle’s complications of installing a double din radio. I have a 2017 Dodge Journey Crossroad and in order to get a perfect install the dash kit is over $400 in which I’m not trying to purchase, so I just wired my subs and amp to my factory radio which isn’t bad at all and now I just have to get some aftermarket speakers which will be ordered from Sonic.

Perfect fit

This product was easy to install and worked perfectly. Thank you

Great Value

Got this because it was the cheapest car stereo with Apple Carplay, and was included with bluetooth. Everything is great and works smoothly. I don't regret buying this, would recommend!

Don't buy

I purchase January 2021 and the screen cracked from the heat in car I also purchased warranty and they refused to fix or replace

Great value!

Worked perfectly.. easy install with easy directions. Thank you so much!

Really Good

Relatively cheap and very responsive. 100% recommend! Touch volume buttons respond really fast. Boot up time is a bit slow but radio plays while booting.

Good for the price

It’s a good headunit, about what you’d expect for the price. Touch screen is fast and responsive I’ve had it for a couple of days now and the only issue I’ve had is if you don’t use a name brand apple cable the Apple car play doesn’t work right, it glitches and freezes up. After I started using a real Apple charging cord it works just fine. It has stopped playing in the middle of a few songs in the middle of playing but it’s not regular. Overall a great unit. I’d recommend to anyone and rebuy if I had to do over again
