Full of features and incredible value for the money. Looks factory with the boot screen update!
After 23 years of use, the factory infotainment system in my 2002 Tacoma stopped working. I began looking for an extremely simple replacement radio as I did not intend to upgrade speakers or add an additional subwoofer.After lots of reviews, this stereo kept showing up in my recommended items from Amazon. I figured for the price it would be hard to go wrong.I ordered the vehicle specific within harness adapters for my year/make/model and this head unit.Wiring was extremely easy with the adapters. Installation is very vehicle dependent, but once the dash was apart and the old radio was out the factory radio brackets bolted right to the unit. I dot not need a bezel around the receiver as it fit perfectly.I requested the updated files and a new boot image. Customer support was extremely quick to respond and provide all of the needed files. They recommend not using a USB drive that is larger than 32 gigs, and the 32 gig drive I used worked fine. Files updated quickly and I have a new boot screen.The backup camera is crisp and works well. If there is a single warning I would provide anyone considering this unit it would be to measure the length of the backup camera cord if you own a pickup. I routed mine through the firewall and then followed the frame to the center of the rear bumper. I only had a few inches of excess wire to spare - so a full size long bed truck might be a stretch (02 Tacoma Crew Cab for reference.)Apple car play works flawless and is Bluetooth. No need to connect via USB. So far the functionality has been flawless.I cannot speak to longevity as it’s only recently installed, but if I get several trouble free years out of this unit I cannot imagine a better bang for the buck. I wouldn’t anticipate audiophiles flocking to this as an option, but if you are looking for a fantastic replacement radio that drops into a double din and gives you a backup camera I sincerely doubt you can do better for the price than this unit.

Underrated value that checks all the boxes!
When searching for a new radio for my 2011 Honda Ridgeline, I needed something affordable, but I also wanted a touch screen with the ability for wireless Android auto, and specifically a volume knob. I searched many different options, and finally came across the SjoyBring JOY-W005. For the price, it seemed had many great reviews, and features that other radios just didn't have. It even comes with a backup camera. Full disclosure, I have installed it yet, but when I do I will update my review once figure out a way to mount it.The instructions were very coherent, and detailed. Even for a novice. I've installed many radios in my life, so I didn't need much direction. Once it turned on, the screen was bright and crisp. For a radio so inexpensive, I was not expecting that. The touch screen seemed a little laggy at first, but once I pulled off the protective screen cover, and calibrated the touch screen, it seemed much better. There are options to adjust almost every setting, and I really love the EQ. It seems to be very effective. In the loudness feature gives you really good low end umph. Even for stock speakers.I was a little nervous about the fact that you could only contact customer support through email, or Facebook. I opted for Facebook, and had a response within 10 minutes ! I couldn't believe it! So far, I'm very happy with the unit, it is very easy to use, and very easy to set up wireless carplay, or Android auto. It literally gives you directions on the screen. This thing is customizable in almost every way, and if you're on the fence about which affordable touch screen radio to buy, this is the one! The instructions even give you detailed directions about how to set up different versions of steering wheel controls for your volume and what not. I called my wife with it, and she did say my voice sounded a little tinny, but I'm sure that could be solved by installing a microphone which it has a port for on the back. I love that it has multiple amplifier preamp outputs for front and rear, and dedicated subwoofer outputs. I haven't driven with it at night yet, but when you turn on your headlights, the screen will dim, and the navigation turns dark. I am absolutely astonished by the value of this radio!In terms of the fitment in my Ridgeline with a scoshe fit kit, I didn't need to use any of the three bezels they sent with the unit . It just fit perfectly!My only complaint would be that the volume knob is recessed within my dashboard, but that is not the fault of the actual radio, but of the contours of my dashboard itself. All in all, I would highly recommend this unit for anyone looking for a budget radio that just works, and checks all the boxes. It also has a USB input, and a MicroSD card slot. So if you wanted to build your own playlists, you could have them at the drop of a hat. But it works great with Spotify, and Pandora.Absolutely great value!

Don't buy this junk
9/25/24 updateI've taken all I can stand of this stereo. It constantly loses connection, some times it will reconnect, when it doesn't it won't let you switch to radio, it will keep trying to reconnect ever few seconds then go back to the stereo, then try to reconnect, then back. The only way to stop it is to shut the car off. Now I can't talk on the phone as no sound will come out. I have to switch my phone to use the speaker in the phone rather then through the stereo. I absolutely regret buying this junk. Get a Jenson, not much more and then one in my other car has worked great for the last 2 years.Not a bad stereo, just not a good one, not even for the money. First, after installation I found that I cannot have navigation and listen to local radio. I can on my cheap Jenson and my factory stereos with Android auto. The company refunded some of my money so I would keep the stereo. For my use I could accept this. You cannot plug in and use Android auto but it will mirror your phone. This is annoying since that connection seems to be more reliable and I still need to charge my phone so I still have to plug it in. The wireless connects great when it connects, when it doesn't it is the most annoying thing there is. It will keep trying, every 30 seconds or so it will shut off the radio and try again, then you get the radio back, then it will try again, then back to radio. Even selecting radio in the menu, it will keep doing that. I would not recommend this stereo, I am torn hoping it will fail so I can justify ordering a Jenson like I have in my Mustang that I plug into rather than wireless. Facebook is the only way to reach the company which is also annoying, they don't have an actual web site. I get this is a cheap stereo but its not that much cheaper than a name brand low end stereo. The main reason I went for this was for the knob to control the volume rather than buttons only. I'm not really impressed with the knob, it feels like it will come off any time.
