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.

Let me start off by indicating that I am not very Tec savvy. I bench tested this unit first before installing in my vehicle. The radio came with a wire pigtail that plugs into the back of the radio; the pigtail wires are labeled indicating what wire goes where, power, ground, antenna, front left, front right and so on. The hard part will be identifying the correct wires coming from your vehicle to match up with the pigtail. This radio also comes with a trim ring that will go around the radio if needed. Also you may need additional mounting hardware for your installation which is not included. This radio was very easy to set up for testing. I matched wires to the speakers, connected the power and ground wires. Plugged in an antenna and I had music, using the touch screen I maneuvered to the phone icon. I then opened Bluetooth on my phone and paired to the radio. In less than a minute I was making hands free phone calls with voice activation using the Voice Activation button. I then plugged in my back up camera and touched the screen once again for camera and had my back up camera working. I inserted a CD and touched the CD icon had music. Simple easy to use buttons to skip tracks or fast forward them. This was also the same when using the DVD player. Picture quality was good and simple to use. (Not able to use while driving) I didn't have a flash drive or SD card to use at the time but I can see them working just as easily as everything else I had already tested. The touch screen was simple and easy to use. Adjusting speakers left, right and fader was easy to set up. The radio comes with 7 reset EQ curves (Pop, Rock, Jazz, Flat, Classic, Beat and user). Features included with this radio: Built in Bluetooth with hands free calling, Voice activation, Programmable on-screen shortcut to smartphone navigation app, Front microSD card slot, Front USB input with 1A charging, Front 3.5mm aux input, Backup camera input (RCA), Steering wheel Control (SWC) input, Media playback: CD/DVD/microSD,3 selectable wallpapers, 1 pair of RCA preamp outputs, 7 band EQ 200 Watt max power (50W x 4), AM/FM Tuner with 30 station preset and of course date and time display. The operation of the unit has been easy to setup and use. The sound using the speakers I have were good (personal preference) and the Video playback for camera and DVD was good. I like all of the functions this radio offers and the easy to use operation. Very happy with item. I would recommend this Radio!

Works great plays when playing a CD just Skip when going over bumps good picture when watching a DVD great price

Unfortunately this did not work out for me. When I received the item it had no wiring inside the box. All that came in the box was the stereo. I'm not sure if it can out during shipping or what. But I was excited to install now I have to wait even longer now.

I got it all hooked up and wired in and it wouldn't even turn on. It didn't for either. so I returned it for a single din pioneer.

the hook up was hard n it's sound no good ,n it wants to come on n off be it self in the CD pops in and out all the time

The radio plugged in was very easy. Sounds good.

Don't pay attention to the negative reviews about this product. I received it in two days in excellent condition and had it installed the same day. For the price, this is the best radio on the market in my opinion. Everything works just fine, The Bluetooth automatically connects after the 1st time you pair it with your phone. The DVD players play's in great quality for such a cheap screen. The SD card slot works with my 32gb micro SD flawlessly. The radio picks up local stations with ease

Works well. Easy install. Enough Preouts for two amps. Only issue is the Bluetooth. It connects every time. But it has to use an app. And after connection goes straight to radio. Very annoying to have to switch mode to Bluetooth to play Music from my phone. It should auto connect then let user select the setting. Added a cheap back up camera to it. Works pretty good with that. Clarity could be better but it's cheap so don't expect high definition.

Everything about this stereo is awesome except you can't mirror your phone. The "app" one reviewer was referring, to is a remote control app so you have a remote on your phone via BT. which is great since you don't have to keep track of the one included. (just shove it in the dash and leave it.) The BT works fine without the app though.
