Nakamichi is a good name but even they've stooped to advertising trickery. Almost all the brands are doing it but I expected better from Nakamichi. It says in many places says it supports 1080p which is great, a especially for a screen this small, but saying it supports 1080p just means is it can play a video thats been encoded at a 1080 resolution. The native resolution of the screen is actually WVGA which is only 800 × 480. And all videos no matter how high of a resolution its encoded at will play at a maximum resolution of 800 x 480. Now that might be acceptable for most for video playback but its still only just OK. 1080 video looks so much better. Small text on a WVGA screen? forget about reading that. not because of the small screen size but because the text will be blurry & not legible unless the font is very large. At 89 bucks, its still a good deal, I just wish they wouldn't stoop to the advertising tricks that all the lesser names use.

Nakamichi was a good name until Niro Nakamichi left in 1998 after the company was acquired by Grande Holdings, a Chinese company based in Hong Kong.

Nakamichi used to be a great name in Audio cassette players, nothing else. then they went bankrupt and sold to a Chinese company. It was never a good brand item outside of cassette players. What's a cassette tape?

Nakamichi hasn't been a good name in over 20 years. Back in the '80s and '90s, it was the shit. But they sold out to a private equity firm at the turn of the century, went bankrupt, and started selling licenses to use thy Nakamichi name on all kinds of cheap crap.

Yeah, it's advertising trickery, but it's more that it's not the same company anymore.

I have no experience with this brand, but beware the "great SD" the has no reviews or known brand. Spend a little more.

I wasted a year+ of suffering with a $100 SD Dual from walmart. It would disconnects and reset itself. Ahh the fun of trying different cables to stop this. (android).

I finally tried ATOTO for maybe $30 more. So good i put in my 2 old cars, one was refub to save $.

1- The ATOTO boots quicker than my old walmart Dual, only few seconds but big when want to turn key and go.
2- After 2yrs almost, very rare reboot. Less than 5 and doesn't forget settings.
3- Wireless android auto and Apple carplay...easily worth the extra $30-$50
4- Backup camera is avail almost right at key turn.

Neg is audio quality and volume isn't as good as more expensive atoto models or other brands.
As an engineer, I think ATOTO really really needs to hire some experienced DAC/Amplifier experts. I really like the units I've played with, but the audio is SO BAD.

Atoto- A6 is the one I have. Love it. Works well with JBV1 as well. Added the accessory amp, works great. Don't like the phone part- gonna change the mic, it's not the best- and if you make a phone call you can't put nothing else on the display at the time. It's unpolished, but worth it's price.

Agree. Bought a naka DVD player in 1998, and it developed a cold solder joint issue? After a few minutes, I assume the heat would make something loose, and the audio would start crackling.

It comes with one for the unit, yes. You will have to splice it into your existing harness, or buy an adapter harness specific to your vehicle.

I bought one of these the last time they came up on here. I received a poorly packaged bent frame radio, water stains on the unit box, and rust all over the radio chassis. Woot doesn't make returns easy either, beware.

Yes. I have only F7XE without extra amp that was $135. More expensive models could be way better.

It works fine and in my Volvo, Hyundai same or better than stock. I just have a pioneer in my other cars and that sounds great for music. Basic atoto without amp sometimes I need ot mess with equalizer and volume. I also noticed my pioneer speaker phone old people didn't know I was on Bluetooth. Atoto even with well placed mic Grandma cant hear me well

That said wireless Android Auto is totally only way to live.

I bought this one last month to replace my montana audio. It is worth the price since the original audio doesn't have Bluetooth and can't use the phone by hand free talking. For wiring to car, maybe you need to buy a aftermarket audio controller upon your car and your request. Android auto can let me listen to siriusXM and gps navigating with my phone connected. You have to use a usb cable to connect to the audio device to activate the android auto. I like android auto because I can ask google assistant to help without touching the phone when driving .
