Dual Electronics XDVD269BT 6.2 inch, Car Stereo Head Unit, Double DIN with CD/DVD, New

The Dual Electronics XDVD269BT 6.2-inch LED Backlit LCD Car Radio arrived packaged very nice and very well protected. I was amazed at all the features this radio has for the very reasonable price. If you plan to install the radio yourself, depending on your vehicle, it could be extremely easy, a total pain, or likely somewhere in between. You will most likely need an install kit of some kind because it's not likely your car's existing wiring connector will be compatible with this radio. That's true of all radios I've ever installed, not just this one. The install in my 2004 Honda CRV was pretty simple. It only took about 2 hours. (Not counting the time to connect the radio wiring harness to the aftermarket wiring harness in the install kit I bought.) I definitely recommend using the Posi-Products Car Stereo Wiring Harness Connectors to connect the wiring harnesses. These are twist connectors that are super easy to use and fool proof. No soldering and no crimping needed. I had to modify the existing radio mounting brackets that are used to attach the radio to the dash. My brackets had 2 dimples that had no place to go on the new radio. I also could not use the existing bracket screws to attach to the new radio, but a couple of small wood screws worked perfectly. Once installed, the radio came right on and was really straight forward to start listening to the radio. Hooking to my phone via blue tooth was a breeze also. This was the main reason I got this radio. The factory radio had no way to connect to my phone wirelessly. I have a backup camera that I'm going to try to hook up, but I'm waiting to hear from the camera company to see if they have an adapter to convert from their 5-pin connector to the standard RCA video input on the back of the radio. Overall, I really like how the radio looks and sounds. It's definitely an improvement over the factory radio. I would definitely recommend this radio to anyone looking to improve most factory radios for a decent price.
