Amazing product, great value for money!
Purchased this to replace my dated Sony Radio in my MK4 Mondeo (2010). The radio is amazing, fits perfectly in my dash and looks like part of the car. If you go into the "Factory Settings" menu (passcode 0000). There are hundreds of settings you can adjust, you can even select the logo for your type of car which will display on load up (instead of the Xtrons logo). There are even settings in this menu to allow the FM radio to display/store the station names and show what songs they are playing.All functions work, I think the 1 criticism I have is that the instructions are very poor and do not actually show you the full potential of what this radio unit can do, I have had to find all the extras by mooching around in the settings screens, when I have a spare few minutes. Xtrons should really provide a leaflet with the unit to show you how to access all the features, I think this is would have improved the other reviews. All of the negative points I have read in the other reviews can be fixed by rooting around in the settings.In conclusion, this radio has everything. Bluetooth, FM/AM radio, DAB+ (have to buy dongle separately), Android Auto and Apple Carplay. Plus loads of other nice features. Definitely worth a buy! I love the unit!

Started great but failed
It installed easy but. Yes a but!! The menu started super slow it started speeding up but was still clunky. I brought this for andriod auto and it was the worst experience I've had with any stereo. It was so slow it didn't work and then worked the buttons just stopped working until I restarted the car. Half the time it kept flashing of android Auto until I plugged it back in. I had it looked at with halfords and there conclusion was its installed correctly and the stereo is just slow. Personally it needs upgrading a new andriod version. It's not worth the money you can buy cheaper and get the same experience

Great way to modernise an old car.
I got this to replace the standard 6000CD head unit in a 2010 Ford S-Max. My other car has Apple CarPlay and a reversing camera, so I wanted to upgrade the bus to have these too. The dash on my car is silver, but only the black head unit was in stock, so I went with it. Turns out, it looks great. The silver probably wouldn't have perfectly matched anyway, so I'm very happy with how this looks.Installation of the head unit itself was pretty easy. I've a fair bit of experience taking cars apart, so the fact that the instructions weren't very comprehensive didn't matter to me, but it might to someone new to this. When you open the box, you're faced with the head unit and multiple octopuses of cable harnesses, which are all well labled, but no instructions as to what is supposed to go where. Fortunately, each harness will only fit into one place, so you'll work it out. Everything I needed was in the box, which was preferable to me to figuring out what connectors and harnesses and adapters and facia plates I needed for a branded head unit.What's a bit more involved is fitting the GPS antenna and the reversing camera. These involve taking a lot more bits of the car apart to fit them neatly, and the reversing camera involves splicing and joining wires, and finding a grounding point. Again, I'd done this before, so knew what to do, but it could be daunting for a novice. But there's plenty of YouTube videos that run though the process.All set up, and the head unit works very well. Initial boot up is about 40 seconds, so not very instance, however you can set a standby time of up to 2 hours, so if you restart the car inside of this time, the head unit comes on instantly. I'd like a choice of setting this for 24 hours, but maybe there would be battery draw issues.I've very little experience of Android. The launcher looks OK, but isn't very configurable. I know others can be installed. Be warned that on these 3rd party implementations of CarPlay on Android, CarPlay isn't a traditional app, so you can't add it to most launchers. For this reason, I stuck to the default one, as it has a CarPlay button.CarPlay launches as soon as the phone is connected, and works perfectly. The built in mic seems ok - haven't felt the need yet to get an external one. Sound is quite good out of the factory speakers for calls and music -no complaints there at all. GPS reception is good (I have the antenna beside one of the front quarter windows). FM reception is good. Ireland doesn't have DAB.Reversing camera works well. The S-Max is a big car with poor visibility out the back, so anything helps. It doesn't integrate with the steering the way the OEM system on my other car does, so you just get a static perspective grid, but it comes on instantly when you engage reverse, and goes straight off when you disengage. There's no configuration worth talking about.: all you can do is adjust the brightness a bit. Built-in Parking sensors are on a different system on this car, so they don't integrate in with the head unit at all - nor does it interfere with them. So I still get my audio beeps, but no extra visual indication of proximity. The perspective grid has green, yellow and red, so it's worth practicing a bit to get to know how close you are to an object behind you in relation to the colours, as every car and camera will be a bit different.Steering wheel controls work fine. All I wanted was volume, track forward/back and pause. I haven't tried the call answer/hang up buttons, because I use the on-screen buttons on CarPlay. I would like to be able to assign a button to switch to CarPlay, but that doesn’t seem to be possible.Only problem I have with the head unit is that it won't connect to my home wifi, and I've no idea why. It can see the network, but it won't join. I’ve tried every security configuration on my router, and setting up a guest network. I can get it to connect to my iPhone's hotspot, so I've used this for updates, downloading offline Google maps, and installing a few aps.The 7" screen is a fine size - my other car's one is bigger, but I don't mind, this is perfectly usable. The touchscreen works well and is responsive. One thing that annoyed my a bit is that if you have the “disable video while driving” setting engaged - which is default and by rights you should have engaged for safety reasons - certain apps and functions that aren’t video at all won’t work even when you’re sitting parked up in neutral. You basically get a screen with a warning message almost completely blocking you out of the whole interface. So I’ve had to set it to allow video in motion to overcome that. The screen is a bit glossy, so on a bright day, you do get reflections. Small niggle is that there’s a nice feature that shows you your aircon controls and status when you use any of the aircon controls in the car. The screen looks good and it is helpful. However, it was randomly popping up for me even when I didn’t change any settings, so I had to turn that feature off.All in all, this was a great and relative cheap way to upgrade the old car. Very happy with it.

What a shame
This is a really good looking stereo but thats it I got mine in black I have been testing it for a for about 7 months, its doesn't always connect to the phone, its really slow, it as alsready got a full line of pixels missing, internet connection is rubish, I used a memory card and it doesn't accept it, it took me two days to download google maps, I'm now looking for a diferent option stereo like pioneer, sony, I don't know, this is a waste of time and money, also the reverving camera went from bad and having to adjust it all the time to black and white and supper grainy, I know its a cheep unit but I have seen some of them going for alot more money than this, and in that case I would rather just get a better unit all toguether.

Not bad unit but slow and freezing
I got it for few weeks, not bad in general, but expert some glitches. Rádio stations does not show names, when someone call you, you see number only and it lags, freezes and crashes google maps. For some reason when i switch on google maps, ot lags so badly and after 1 minúte it crashes.In general not bad but hopefully they can fix these annoying issues. Plus and play, also steering controls Works and when using air con it shows on head unit display. Used on Mondeo mk4 2009

Fantastic product
Brilliant head unit which I bought to replace one I had purchased off a well known auction site. The only thing I need to work out is how to keep the unit switched on after I've turned my car off until I open the drivers door. Easy to use and navigate with clear apps installed. Highly recommend for any Ford Focus up to 2011.

Bluetooth only worked for about 3 to 4 months.
Fits well into dash and looks good. But after that software lets it down. Would recommend you buy a better Head unit. Please just go and save your money and get a well named brand.
