   I will admit that I was a little skeptical on how great this head unit was going to be. I ordered the Flush 3 piece kit (it is worth the wait if out of stock) and was blown away at how great it fit and looks in my 2011 JK Rubicon Unlimited. Install was fairly easy but ran into an issue with hooking up my aftermarket backup cam (previously connected to the stock Uconnect 430N system using LockPick). Vitaliy at GTA worked with me and I was able to get it working great. They sent me this link at it all made sense: https://youtu.be/q-9tXLerAus
   I asked them to put up the youtube link to wiring your cam on their webpage (like they have their other install & android operation videos) so hopefully that will make it to their webpage soon.
   I actually modified the install a little by splicing into the reverse light wire (pin 2 orange/peach colored wire from the head unit harness) to the reverse light wire on the passenger side rear of the Jeep (like in the video). He said white/gray but my wires were hard to see the gray wire and ended up splicing the wrong one at first so if you do, its the other white wire in the harness going down). This enabled the back up cam to pop up on my screen when I placed the Jeep in reverse (I have a manual 6 speed transmission). What I did differently from the instructions was to wire the camera power itself (red wire on my camera) to another power source (turns on only when Jeep is on) to provide constant power to the cam. By doing this it allowed me to scroll through the menu on the display to camera by selecting rear cam, I can see the backup cam while I’m driving. This is great when pulling a trailer or if you just want to see what is behind you when you are not in reverse. I have no issues with this setup. I can’t wait to install a front cam to see obstacles in front while I’m wheeling going up rocks that I won’t normally see at that angle. The only downside (and it really isn’t one) is that with my old uConnect setup I could toggle over to the rear cam by pressing the middle button on the right side behind the steering wheel. It does change modes from radio to music player to a blank screen which in the old uConnect displayed video but none here. I asked if this was possible but it seems that it isn’t an option. But again, no big deal as all of the other steering wheel controls work (volume, change station, etc). I haven’t had the unit for very long but so far, it has far exceeded my expectations for all of the things it can do. I have Amazon Prime video and youtube loaded but for some reason that version of Android isn’t compatible to download Netflix from the google play store. Otherwise it has all of the other android apps and the Android Auto part works great too for Waze, Spotify, Google maps, etc. There are other features on there that I haven’t tried yet like viewing movies or listening to music on a micro SD card. I have to say, BUY THIS if you are a Jeep owner and want to upgrade your old head unit. You will not regret it. I looked at other android capable head units for my Jeep and can’t really say much about those other than they are HUNDREDS of dollars more expensive and they did not have the big a screen with the flush factory look that this has.
   Pros: Big screen, flush factory look, android apps, ability to watch movies and listen to music without connecting your phone to it. Runs off wifi or can connect to your phone’s hotspot to access all those while driving down the road
   Cons: Other than the issue I mentioned on toggling to video on the steering wheel (which most of you may not even connect it the way I did for my use case), the only true con was the price of shipping. I thought this was going to come from Canada eh but it actually shipped from China. No offense to anyone in the logistics chain for the product but I did wait a couple days and actually sanitized the unit before I did the install to put my mind at ease. The box it came in was actually not as big as I expected for the price of shipping but it was packaged very well and nothing was damaged when I received it. Coming from China I expected the box to be all beat up with holes in the side but this came undamaged interior and exterior.
   I am very pleased with the purchase, the product, and the FANTASTIC customer support I received from Vitaliy & Maurizio at GTA Car Kits. Thanks guys! You have made me one happy owner of your product!

   Love my GTA 10.1” flush mount stereo in my 2015 Jeep Wrangler. What a drastic upgrade from the standard OEM stereo. I also purchased the backup camera…how nice it is to be able to see behind your Jeep. I am constantly discovering new features on this stereo. One day I accidentally tapped the button behind my steering wheel and next thing I know music videos are playing on the screen. Didn’t know it even had that. One thing I did when I stalling the backup camera is I bought a back up light jumper cable for $30 from Quadratec that allowed simple plug and play for the camera to the backup light rather than cutting into the vehicles factory wire as the install video shows. I was initially disappointed in the fit of the dash portion over my instrument panel but when I co tatted them I got a rapid response with a quick fix that was perfect and it now looks factory installed. There was 1 peg that did not line up with the slot and removing that peg allowed it to sit flush. I had 1 issue with my iPhone CarPlay dropping off and again they quickly responded with instructions how to update the software and again that fixed my issue. I only wish that it came with a manual for how all the features work and everything you can do with it. I feel like I have just barely scratched the surface of its capabilities. Love it!

   This was super easy to install. I was so impressed. I have never done anything like this before and was very nervous to proceed. The video gave me the confidence I needed and now I feel like I can open my own custom shop. What a great product. So easy to use and install. If you know how to use an Android tablet or phone then this is exactly the same interface. If you are used to apple products, with a little “playing around” with the interface, you will be a pro. The Apple CarPlay works awesome and seamless. Make sure you allow the CarPlay app to have access to the microphone in the app settings. I connected to my home WiFi when I set it up and then used my phone as a hotspot. Youtube works, streaming movies work. It is so cool I can’t say enough. The price is perfect and all the reviews I read about similar products that cost more, were suspect. I highly recommend this as a must have and it has a low learning curve to install. Buy the panel kit GTA sells as it make it way easier to install and give you the confidence not to break anything. I cheated a bit and saved myself some time by buying new dash clips on Amazon so I didn’t have to take the other ones off. Running the cables for the mic and Satellite were the hardest things to do, but not that hard. Just some learning curve. I couldn’t get the A-frame clip off so I used the GTA tool kit to move things around a bit and was able to slide the cable in place pretty easy without removing it. Just watch the video and you will be good to go. I installed the Sat antennae on the window so running that cable was very easy to tuck in behind the molding. I am not sure I am going to connect the Sat radio yet. I have the Sirius XM app and you can use that either on your phone through CarPlay or use the hotspot on my phone and just use the Head Unit to download the SiriusXM app and sign in with your account. The possibilities are endless. Haven’t connected and jump drives with movies yet, but will probably work on that next. That is one thing I have never done. Can’t imagine it is hard. Anyhow, I hope this gives you the confidence to do this on your own. Highly recommend this. You will love it.

   My jeep is now my temple ever since this installation. When I tell you this is a MUST HAVE, please believe me. Fully integrated with all the controls on your wheel, vehicle monitoring etc but best of all running Android 8+. Crazy. Navigation is a breeze just download offline maps for google. 3 usb ports for jump drives, PLUS (what was not told or I missed it somewhere) Micro SD card support! Popped in a 200 GB card and VLC media player takes care of all movies esp in traffic 🙂 Was a bit worried if it would be compatible with my 360 camera system I installed, but not only does it work and is compatible, it’s now way more gorgeous on that 10″ display. I see way better 🙂 Only disappointment I have, is there’s no flush bracket for right hand drivers like myself but it’s okay it still looks sexy 😉 Guys, you will not be disappointed purchasing this item. Infact, I’m positive it increased my trucks resale value..IF…I was crazy enough to sell it! I’m way in Jamaica and they got it to me so I’m sure wherever you are they’ll get yours to you too! Happy to send pics if anyones interested or has any install questions. Thanks GTA CAR KITS…I appreciate your products and business! A++

   Honestly this has been my favorite mod I’ve done to my car so far. I highly recommend it to anyone who cares about having a pretty cool radio. Usually I’m skeptical about working with the electrical part of any car, but literally the installation is just as easy as the video makes it look. I usually don’t write reviews on anything, but this definitely deserves one. Highly recommend!
