Podofo Android Car Stereo for Ford F150 F250 F350 Fusion Edge Explorer Taurus Freestar, 7 inch Touch Screen Bluetooth Radio with GPS Navigation Support FM/RDS SWC USB Mirrorlink Backup Camera

This is by no means a “fancy” touch screen radio. It’s simple and was a great replacement in my 2006 Mustang GT, definitely makes it feel less “dated”. The majority of the negative reviews are from people that have no idea what they’re doing. If you’re not tech savvy get it PROFESSIONALLY installed. This radio will drain your battery with its factory settings. It takes literally 10 seconds to navigate the settings in order to get the radio to power on/off when starting, or turning off the vehicle. Product error is not the same as user error…just my two cents.

Installation instructions are basically nonexistent. Fortunately the job is pretty straightforward, but some guidance would be helpful. As for the actual product, it's essentially an android tablet in a double DIN frame. The touch controls on the left side don't light up, so finding them in the dark is almost impossible. This wouldn't be as much of a problem if the steering wheel controls worked with this unit, but every attempt to pair them was met with an error. The UI is clunky and the menus are comprised of broken English, and settings are hidden behind way too many menus to be navigating while driving. The radio doesn't automatically turn off when you shut the vehicle off, or when you open a door. It will stay powered on until you manually shut it off by holding the power control for a few seconds. And even then, the bluetooth still stays connected to your phone even after you kill the power. It doesn't automatically turn on when you start the car either. It looks cheap from every angle and has a rat's nest of wires behind it when installed. It doesn't even mount flush with the dashboard panel around it. The provided camera is painfully low resolution and might as well not be there when it's dark outside.Overall this radio isn't worth the box it came in. It has UI issues that I've never even heard of before and can leave you with a dead battery if you forget to shut it off. It's unresponsive and difficult to navigate, and doesn't pair with any of the native features of the vehicle. Spend the extra money for a Pioneer unit instead.

The media could not be loaded. The good, it is easy to install. The graphics are good and the touch screen is responsive. The bad, it does not work with the steering wheel controls (but does not say it will) the sound quality of the mic is poor. When making a phone call they can't make out what I am saying, i can hear them good. It was very difficult to get this changed from kph to mph, still don't know how I did it, but went through every setting and the settings are not intuitive. And the big one. As you can see in attached video, the GPS is working good, the map was there when I first hooked this up, but when I set up WiFi the map went away. This product is one problem to the next, I do not recommend this product. I am a professional mechanic and proficient with electronics, so my skill level is not the issue. I was not looking for a high dollar unit as this is going in my work truck, I still expect the features listed to work.To the credit of Podofo, I had problems with the first unit. They sent info to try and resolve the problems. I never could get it to work right, so Podofo is sending me a replacement at no cost. Having a problem is one thing, but a company that stands behind their product I will buy from again.

I had some issues with the radio and customer support was fantastic. After running me through what to do we determined the screen was bad. Without hesitation they sent me a new unit and it worked perfectly. Not only that but it got here super fast!

Why does it still connect to the blue tooth, after its off? & why is the mic so off, it junos high & low when on the phone, on the other side of the line?

First off this stereo fit perfectly into my 06 Ford F150 XLT, exactly what I was looking for! Cable connections are relatively easy, not all cables are required for basic installation, all cables are included if you desire to connect a amp. JUDY from technical support was the BEST support agent I've ever come across in ALL the years I've been ordering online! JUDY consistently provided FIVE STAR technical support across the board! She was QUICK with the answers & with ensuring i received quick attention when I needed a replacement part! I couldn't be HAPPIER or MORE IMPRESSED with HER SUPPORT! SHE should be EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR! THANK YOU JUDY!

Everything was included that was neededEasy install, and fit perfectly in my dash can't tell it wasn't stock.BUT......Having issues with programming per instructions, not availableSetup for my vehicle not allowed by access....Need support for thisGood points: good stereo, navigation a little slow to respond, but accurate!Other apps easy to download, once you get connected to WIFI, had to use cable as slow with BT connnectionAs others have said, will turn itself back on after key is off.

Wow what a waste of money! The AM doesnt work. Left side of screen isnt lit up, so it is impossible to adjust volume and do other features on the left side. This isn't a manufacturer defect; it is how it is designed. Can't get the navigation maps to work. The unit turns on randomly when it the vehicle is shut off and key is out of the ignition. This has caused my battery to drain 3 times in the last 2 weeks. Upon shutting vehicle off I need to shut the unit off. It does not shut off when you shut the vehicle off and pull the key out. I just need to find the time to take it out and send it back. To top it off the user manual has ANDROID spelled as ANDOID on the front cover page. enough said! super ripp off. do not buy!
