I loved this stereo and miss it now that we have a new car. 🚗 I think you will enjoy this stereo. Read the manual for all the different features that you can expect in this stereo system. Enjoy 😊
Yay! Thanks SO much for taking my request for this video! My stereo should be arriving tomorrow and I'm getting it installed 1 week from today. Hopefully this time next Monday I will be setting up all my music and enjoying my new stereo. Thanks a ton, EXCELLENT video!!!
Awesome! Thank you for the compliments - so glad I could help. Great news about your stereo install! I am sure you are going to enjoy it. I am so happy we have it in our car - use it every day pretty much. No regrets. 😎👌
These are great stereos, still enjoying ours. It is also great that it will pair with two phones so should you be going somewhere with her both of your phones will work. 😎 Thanks for watching and for your wonderful comment.
Thank you so much for the compliment. I think you will be very happy with this unit - we still enjoy using ours. 😁 I am very glad my review could help you decide.
For sure...we still love our stereo and the hands free convenience with the cellphones. The lighting is excellent too and totally programmable. Thanks for watching and enjoy your new stereo once you get it. 👋😊
I bought the newer model thanks to you guys and figured I’d rewatch to see all the settings again. I was really glad to see I could turn off the sources I don’t need because having to scroll through them all was the only downside I’ve found.
The black plastic guards you can find in some binders that help keep the ring hole sides of the paper contained works wonders. I cut these with a pair of scissors to pressure fit on either side of the stereo, they are still there today! Necessity is the mother of invention. ;)
Hello, great video. I just bought this unit an have it installed in my car. It works great. However, when I try to change the colour of the unit it doesn't stay on the selected colour. The colour keeps changing ang blinks according to the music. How do I keep the colour constant like you have in your video. Thanks
@Vend Master We used the original speakers that are in our 2005 Toyota Echo. We have a speaker in the bottom of each front door and a small one in each side of the dash. The bass sound is great. We have no issues with bass response at all. I think you will enjoy it - we still enjoy our stereo every time we get in the car, whether it be radio, CD, or mp3.😊👌
Thanks for watching and for your excellent question! 😃 Does your book not give you the answers to how to do that? We have just preset the 6. There aren't enough radio stations in our area to program all of the ones available. Sorry, wish I could help. 😌
Joanna, I had the same question. Finally located an online electronics Help Desk that provided the answer. While listening to the station, press and hold the Volume knob until “PRESET MODE” flashes Turn the volume knob to select a preset number, then press the knob The preset number flashes, and “MEMORY” appears. Station is set. To access stations 7 thru 12, and 13 thru 18: Press the search button, then turn the volume button to select the preset number, and press the knob. Hope this helps!
@@mullierat you are aMAZing!!! Perfect instructions, very easy to understand. I'll give them a try next time I'm in my car. I'm sure they'll work perfectly. Not easy to do while driving, but hey, can't have everything, right? Thanks so much for making the effort and for helping out.
Good review! Are you able to manually install the names of the radio stations? Or does it just find them automatically? I noticed some of the radio stations have the names and some don’t
Hi, thanks so much for the compliment and for watching. No you are not able to manually enter the names of the radio stations. It is a function of the radio to display the names if they are available in the transmission...some show and some don't. Still loving this stereo though...use it every time we get in the car; playing radio, CDs and making and receiving phone calls hands free - it's great! Highly recommend this unit. :)
Yes, I find that once you adjust the EQ it does make even fm radio sound quality and overall sound quality better. So weather playing CDs, radio, mp3s whatever you play it is a great sounding stereo. Still very happy we got this deck for our car. 😎👌
Hi, thanks for watching...no the USB is for access to music files only not for charging. You can plug in an mp3 loaded thumbdrive and listen to your music picks for hours. The USB can also be used to connect your mp3 player if it charges via USB as a way to get access to the music files held on it, that way you can hear your song through the car stereo and speakers instead of headphones.
Hi, thanks for watching. The best settings for sound are going to change depending on the environment you are listening to the music in. For bass but clarity generally you want to set the bass on the mid to heavy side and cut back on the mids to promote clarity of the sound. Too heavy on the mids can make the sound muddy or less clear. Hope this helps. Best advice is to play with the settings until you are happy with the sound in your vehicle. It will take some experimenting but you will soon get the idea of how to adjust it to your liking. 😎 Thanks for your great question! I hope this helps. * Sorry for the late reply but your comment got stuck in my spam folder and I did not see it until now when I went to review my spam folder before dumping it.
Hi, thanks for watching. Both my husband and I have i Phones so I think we covered how to pair them with the radio. If you start at the 9:25 mark I think that is where we start talking about the phones and how to hook them into the stereo via Bluetooth pairing. 🤔📱
Hi, no sorry you can not view your back up camera on this unit. It is just a stereo with the ability to hook up two phones via bluetooth so you can go hands free in the car. 😎 Thanks for watching.
Hi Lucyy, thanks for watching. No you can't connect a reverse camera up to this cd player. It has no screen for viewing what the camera sees. It is for CDs, radio and usb input only. It also connects via bluetooth to phones and radio apps like spotify and such.
Hi, thanks for watching.😁 I'm sorry, I can't help you there. My husband and I have i Phones and have no idea where to find the app on Google Play. I usually find the *sound, color and other features on the stereo are best controlled on the stereo itself* and not from an app of any kind. We don't even use an app from the App store on our phones to control the stereo. 🤔
I picked up a wiring harness connector from Canadian Tire where I bought this stereo so it was a simple click onto the ports at the back of the stereo and click onto my factory wiring harness in our car. No wiring to figure out or cut, splice and taping to do. 😃👌
Hi thanks for watching and for your great question. The size of the opening and the face of the stereo is approximately 3 5/8" tall x 6 5/8" wide. Hope this helps. 🖐😃
Yes, it does display the name of the radio station. It also scrolls the name of the song if available. Thanks for watching and for the great question. 😎👍
@@SusanMillard thanks, to understand, if I open a folder with audio, and then if I want to open another folder, do you do everything from the middle button?
Umm no, there is a feature on the stereo that connects TWO cellphones via Bluetooth. My husband and I both have i Phones ( we are both connected every time we get in the car. Once you pair them to the stereo it will automatically reconnect every time you get in the car given that you leave your Bluetooth active on your phone. You need to activate your Bluetooth on your phone and go through the steps to pair it to the stereo the first time. No reformatting of the software on the phone or the stereo is necessary at all. 🙂
Just bought mine, I can't wait for the install!

Excellent, really good material, super overview !!
Thank you, Pascal! It was fun showing everybody what this can do. It sounds really good too with just the stock speakers that come with the car. 🚘
😊👍@@SusanMillard
thank you for this
You’re welcome, I am glad you enjoyed the video. 😁
that was fun doing the video with you
Thanks again for your help...that was a lot of fun! 😀👌 I like when we can collaborate on videos together.

Thanks Debbie! 😊👋Happy New Year my friend. I appreciate you dropping by to have a look, as always. 😀
@@SusanMillard Happy New Year to you and Kevy!! 💕👍😄🎉🎉

What did you guys end up doing to cover up the gaps on the sides of the radio?
The black plastic guards you can find in some binders that help keep the ring hole sides of the paper contained works wonders. I cut these with a pair of scissors to pressure fit on either side of the stereo, they are still there today! Necessity is the mother of invention. ;)

Very good radio
Amazing music quality, really
Yes it is, thanks for watching and leaving me such a great comment to let me know you were here. :) Have a great day!
@Vend Master Oryginal spikers. Must had been working hard to setup gain etc properly for each pair of them. Astra H GTc. Sounds quite good bass too.

So how do you set stations for FM presets 7 - 18? My book says you can preset up to 18 stations. And once you set them, how do you access them?

@@joannakatzen2295 Glad to help. The process is a bit clunky, but it DOES work!
is it loud?
Yes, it can be quite loud depending on your speakers of course.

The Phone doesn't automatic connect to Bluetooth to this radio at all..You have to reformate the software
Umm no, there is a feature on the stereo that connects TWO cellphones via Bluetooth. My husband and I both have i Phones ( we are both connected every time we get in the car.

Sounds like a cop car 👮
LOL, thanks for watching. We were sitting in our driveway out in the country shooting this video so it was not a cop car, 👌😎
Can the sound the button makes when you touch it be turned off
Show the colors, :(
Good review but next time shut off the dam beep.
Made it annoying to try to here you.
Did U not hear that before U put it on??????????????????
Hi, thanks for watching. Sorry you found the beep annoying...next time I will be sure to turn that beep off. I am glad you liked the review anyway. 😎
Susan Millard How do you take off the deeping?
