Does it work with both iPhone and Android?

Yes. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both built in, and both connect wirelessly. You can also use Bluetooth for calls and streaming without either system.

Can I connect a backup camera?

Yes. It has RCA inputs for both a front and a rear camera. The rear camera input switches the screen when you reverse, if the camera is wired to the reverse signal.

It is a double-DIN unit, so it fits dashes with a standard double-DIN opening. The mech-less body is shallow, which helps in cars with little space behind the radio. A dash kit and wiring harness may be needed for your model.

Does it have a CD player?

No. It is mech-less, with no disc drive. Music comes from your phone, Bluetooth, or a USB drive.

Does it include navigation?

Not on its own. Navigation comes from your phone through CarPlay or Android Auto, using Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze on the screen.

Is it worth it over a name-brand unit?

It covers the essentials: wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth and camera inputs. Name-brand units usually add better displays, more audio tuning and faster support, so choose this one if the core features are what you need.
