    What RCA outputs does this head unit have? Front/rear only or front/rear/sub?

    Thanks for the link to the info. I'm not fully sure what it comes with or any add ons needed for it to work but I'm wondering the same thing. All revies I've seen, even months after purchasing the unit are positive so good news! Will update after instal with any issues I run into should that end up happening.

    I’ve been using mine for about a year now... let’s say once a week I have issues with Apple connection but fix it easily disconnecting and connecting again... If you have a SIM card on the radio I guess you can enjoy more features having internet on it...

    Reading your other thread(Nice work by the way!), I saw that yours and another person's order didn't come with the USB adapter. Is that something I need to have in order for my phone to connect to the Unit or is it just optional? Not really sure what the purpose of having the USB adapter is..

    The usb adapter plugs into the factory usb port on the dash, while its not 100% needed, without it you will just have a random usb cable hanging out of the dash. So, order your unit, it should come with one, but if it doesnt, then email them and they will send you one.

    One issue I’ve had with it over the year or so I’ve had it is connecting via wireless CarPlay. The easy fix is just opening WiFi on the phone and selection “android AP “. Works every time. Highly recommend to those considering getting it!

    Great HU and @5nahalf has a great thread with tons of info on it.

    I would recommend anyone to install YouTube Vanced for an ad free experience btw.

    The HU might slow down or glitch out once every two weeks but a simple restart fixes, however I have a lot of stuff in it and just use the hotspot. Just don't see the point of using Android auto/Apple carplay on it.

    Just use a hotspot from your phone and use Google maps for everything, is superior to anything else out there.

    The Sim card is kinda useless because it doesn't support all U.S bands

    There is an app called Tasker where you can set your hotspot to auto come on when you connect to a Bluetooth or I think Samsung Bixby has a similar function.

    So I got the head unti installed and once I tried to get my Google account set up on the unit it would immediately close the sign in page as soon as it would open. Anybody seen this before?

    So did this unit just plug and play right in the factory brackets and everything? Or is there anything else needed to use this head unit?
