This is my third installation of this type of carplay double-din screen upgrade and this model edges out the previous two with faster boot time, shallower depth for installation, and quickest connection to my phone (probably because it boots up faster). I installed this in a 2002 Toyota Camry for my daughter to help keep her eyes on the road and make gps navigation, calls, and messages more easily hands-free. Once you get used to navigation and other phone features, it is hard to go back to the CD-player days!
This was a quick and easy installation, with clear directions for the stereo installation and setup, and wiring guide for the stereo side of the wiring harness. For my 2002 Camry install, I also needed to pick up a model-specific trim kit (I used this one B00BAO15UE) and Toyota wiring harness (I used this one B0002BEQJ8). It is easiest to connect the stereo and vehicle sides of the wiring before you start the installation so it is ready to plug-and-play when you need it. This kit came with a dash tool that made removing the trim panels from my dash easy, and then I just needed a 10mm socket to remove/install the old/new stereo units. The depth of this unit is MUCH more shallow than the CD-player it replaced, so there was ample room to deal with the wire connections in the back. I should note that this Camry was a lower trim, so no upgraded speakers or steering wheel controls to worry about. I think the final result looks very "factory" (see photo) with just a couple decades newer tech.
There are a ton of features you can configured on this stereo, from backlight colors, to equalizer settings, and the backup camera looks/works very much like the OEM camera in one of our newer Toyota vehicles so it was familiar for my daughter to use. The connection to a phone is automatic when the car starts up once you have it connected for the first time, so it is pretty much set it and forget it, with wireless carplay every time you drive (no Android phone to test with, just an iPhone). This let's my daughter plug in her phone to charge and can leave it tucked away and out of her hands while she drives (a little peace of mind for us parents).
For this price, I will replace every older stereo we ever have in any future cars we buy. The convenience is worth the effort and it really helps the car feel more "modern" than it probably is.
