BVCP9700A Car Audio Stereo System - Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, 7 Inch Double Din, Touchscreen, Bluetooth Audio and Calling Head Unit, Radio Receiver, No CD Player, for Amplifier

i bought this headunit for my 2011 golf. the headunit itself is great, apple car play is wired and wireless, it’s got the option for 2 cameras (front and back), great sound, it’s fast for input (no lagging when you press a button) etc. a lot of great things i could say. to keep it short, if you’re putting this headunit or any headunit similar to this in your VW, you’ll need to supply an external ignition source, or else the radio won’t turn off when you turn off your car, and there is no way to turn off the radio from the actual radio itself. you’ll need to wire into something else. this is where i’ve been having trouble. i’ve tried piggybacking off some fuses in the fuse box and ive had no luck. i’ve read a lot of articles saying you need to wire into the 12v cigarette lighter, which is what i’ll try next. i’ll update if anything changes. UPDATE : i’ve fixed the issue, the piggyback worked. and i’ve been using it the last couple months, and genuinely for the price, 5 stars. i haven’t even used all of its capabilities (haven’t hooked up any cameras to it, it has 2 input for cameras !!) apple carplay is great, no issues! i love it :) definitely recommend

Excelente stereo no se traba nada y el Apple car play funciona perfecto. También trae micrófono para llamadas

جوده عاليه وصوت فخم جدا أعجبني ووفقني الله به

I desperately needed some way to listen to music in my recently bought 2010 Genesis. It had no Bluetooth music and the aux did not work so I was stuck listening to the radio like old times. So I bought this one (I bought an off brand/Chinese one before this one but it did not fit and had to return it). Instantly changed my riding experience. PROS - Wireless or wired Apple CarPlay (I love it so much). - All the features that come with Apple CarPlay. Music, navigation, etc. (I mostly just use it for Spotify). - You now have a good quality double din stereo in your car that’s not stupidly expensive. That’s awesome by itself. - Just looks good and boosts your driving experience. CONS - Has a little bit of half second delay when clicking anything. - No knob to change volume. I seriously did not know that I would hate the + and - buttons for volume adjustment. It’s fine though, I just wished it had a knob. - Not too big of a deal but I’ve had a couple of instances where it just restarts out of no where. Comes back to life in like 7 seconds like nothing happened. - The mic it comes with is kinda trash. You’ll just have to yell at whoever you’re on the call with if your using hands free calling. But that’s all the bad stuff. If you ask me, the pros heavily outweigh the cons. I changed the stereo myself and I recommend to do heavy research before purchasing any stereo. For me, I had to buy like 3 separate things, 2 harnesses and a bezel, to install any stereo. YOU WILL NEED TO CUT WIRES AND CONFECT THEM. It’s not that hard though because the wires the stereo has are color coded and named to make connecting wires easy. 8/10 stereo

Its ok but anoying installing as no oem or after market harness readily available and the usb inputs and apple car play are cables from the rear which make your car look ugly, this is not the stereo for you if you don’t want cables hanging out of your dash. Would not buy again.
