Great compact head unit
Budd from New Jersey on 12/18/2021
Great little head unit, small footprint, but lots of flexibility. Powers a couple of sets of speakers so far, and still has more connections if I want to expand. Love that it has bluetooth, USB, and an auxiliary cord out the back. It's been in stalled in two different Makos over the past few seasons, and has held up very well.
Pros: Multiple options for hooking up speakers, multiple options for hooking up sound, bluetooth, compact
Cons: Hard to see the screen in bright sunlight (not a big deal)

Great Marine Unit
Crutchfield customer from Houma, LA on 9/6/2020
Very simple to install and it has many provisions for other components. I am only driving (2) JL Marine Speakers. I think it has enough power for my needs. System easy to operate and is very compact with a nice size screen. I do notice that it does emit a lot of heat. Hopefully, that is just normal. Quality units, all of the wiring is labeled which is expected.

Crutchfield customer from Knoxville, TN on 9/2/2020
Very pleased with the radio overall. Screen is nice, provides good amount of information when using a USB stick for playback, which we do often due to limited reception on parts of the lake. Install was smooth and interface is fairly intuitive. The only complaint would be that the music pauses when you try to navigate to a different song or folder when playing off USB and when you browse back to the folder list it does not keep your last position but defaults to the top of the list.

Crutchfield customer from Lafayette, LA on 7/21/2020
Installed in a bass boat. Not using most of it's capability, just wanted a bluetooth connection to drive a single pair of speakers. Interface is intuitive, bluetooth connection range is great. Its mounted in a glove box and didn't drop connection to my phone in my pocket anywhere in a 22' boat all day long. It gets hot but that's to be expected. You'd never notice if you have it mounted in a gauge cluster like it's intended for. Highly recommend.

Nice upgrade to my old one!
John from EL CAJON, CA on 5/24/2020
Looks and sounds great. The volume control knob is a must have for me. Was a little bigger than my old one so I had to expand the hole. I used a 3.5" bimetal hole saw. I first drilled a hole inside a piece of corrugated cardboard and taped that on my boat as a kind of jig to help keep the saw in place since the mandrel was of no use. A little rough around the edges but none of that shows once it is installed. Fiberglass dust is irritating so spray it down, wear gloves, a mask and long sleeves.
Pros: Sounds good. Color display. Volume knob. Bluetooth.
Cons: Had to enlarge the hole my old one was in. See description.

Crutchfield customer from Bellevue, WA on 5/18/2020
Straightforward installation into my boat. Had to cut a larger hole in the dash because I was replacing a standard remote control unit. Wiring harness was well labeled. Only used it a couple times. Bluetooth connected first time. Display shows song info. I have android phone and using iTunes.

Great Product and Easy to Use!!
Crutchfield customer from Osprey, FL on 5/11/2020
Very easy install. Looks great and fits perfectly in existing gauge hole!! Functionality of this unit is easy, and responsive. Looks great, sounds great, and is quite easy to customize. Puts out very clear tones and also very rich tones. Plan to use this to expand current stereo in our deck boat. It gets plenty loud in open water at speed and with the FL weather. Has only been in a week, but no issues to report! Highly recommend this product! Would love a face plate cover for this unit. Any suggestions on finding it?

Boat radio for my car
Crutchfield customer from Orlando, FL on 7/2/2019
I used this in a car and I wish the bluetooth would connect to my phone, but in a fairness I knew it woldn't before hand. The unit sounds good and works as expected. The camera funtion disables all control funtion except volume. Turn of the camera to do anything else.
Pros: camera
Cons: camera disables most conrol funtions

The JBL media player is great. I put it on my golf cart along with a 450w Bazooka Party Bar and a 1000w Pyle subwoofer. I would highly recommend it.
Pros: Ease of use
Cons: None
