J1CA8FL 8" Wireless Apple CarPlay Android Auto Single/Double DIN

I’ve had for almost two years I bought back in February of 2024 and it works very good the touch screen feedback is good, it’s pretty easy to install. It has amazing sound quality I love the built in EQ it has

I got this one and a 10 inch for my trucks.. large screen easy to see. Easy menu buttons works great with car play for maps. One driver did complain there is no off button to turn screen off at night. It doesnt bother me and he just puts a beanie over it for night driving.

I never leave reviews but this radio drives me crazy! Bluetooth disconnects on its own it has bad software freezes a lot. With the phone connected to usb it still won't stay connected songs start sounding like a CD is skipping. While listening to the radio just start switching stations automatically it has a mind of its own! Sound quality is great. Love the screen size. I wouldn't buy it again save your money go with an Alpine.

Installed on a 2000 Excursion. Simple install if you’re accustomed to replacing factory with aftermarket. I love how it looks in my EX. You can mount the radio above the included spacer or with that spacer mounted on top. I initially put the spacer on top and radio on bottom. The screen covered my AC controls. I swapped it so the radio is on bottom and spacer is on top. Perfect! This is with the screen moved 1/3 from the bottom of its range. Very pleased with how this came. I just installed it so I’m not sure about performance. But it looks great! If you install in a dual din, purchase the Metra dual din install kit along with it. You’ll want to use the side mounts. These are included with the radio. Hack: Connect a wire to the pink wire from the radio and run it to a metal piece under the dash and secure it with a screw. ;) E-brake override.

Works great for what it is the car play works great as this unit was installed in my work truck for hands free.

I put this in my 03 F150. The screen is a little bright at night, but other than that it works great. It connects to my phone automatically without issue. It's nice have google maps on the screen when travelling.

Carplay works intermittently, but this is one of few stereos out there that fits Mercury Grand Marquis/Crown Vic without modification. 8" screen is perfect size without blocking vent and below dash so no glare. The volume knob is slow. Firmware update function isnt available as last update was 2024. It randomly disconnects, and requires you to click carplay to resume. If it doesnt allow split screen between map and music, you will need to reset to factory setting n readjust your preferences. The tech on this unit seems outdated compared to cheap chinese units, unfortunately those didnt fit. For the price when on sale below $240, its still worth the money just to have carplay to use maps on long trips.

Son absolutely loves it....gps maps android Auto and car play everything works as it should..sounds great.
