Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great radio for the price. Works well.Fit:Good fit Connectivity:Easy to hook upQuality:Good quality for the price

Great radio, great price, and great service. I'm buying Pyle hydras next, sounds great

The mounting cage didnt want to lock until i bent the lock tabs to get more pressure on them and still had to push them into position but easy to install and setup besides that. Definitely an upgrade in quality over the older unit this replaced, fits well, has a remote, adjustable eq settings, and sounds pretty good connected to an external amplifier.

Works and is decent sounding and can gear it on the freeway. Using it on street glide

Purchased September 2022. Was probably able to actually connect to BT and use the stereo 3 times since then. Fired it up 1st time this year and it died in a small puff of smoke. Not once did I think, man I'm glad I saved $$ buying this cheap model. Rarely worked and finally bit the dust only after a few actual uses. What a pyle of crap.

Listen, this is a $35 stereo, that's REALLY ALL you need to know, but I'll elaborate a little.So for $35, the fact that it even works is a bonus, let alone all these features! Yes the housing is made of plastic and it's VERY lightweight, but I would think the plastic costs at LEAST $35 to manufacture and hey, you even get a cardboard box, 2 wiring harnesses and some instructions inside a ziplock envelope. How do you beat that? You don't! NOT for $35 or even $50! Ever buy a phone case for $100?Moving on, for $35, you get bluetooth, an SD card reader, MP3 player, a remote control and TWO sets of pre-outs!Anyone who complains about this stereo is IMHO an uneducated consumer! At this price point AND in the Pyle tradition, you get WAY more than you should expect and if it lasted you 1 Summer, again, it was a $35 stereo, go buy another one or invest in something that you feel would be better quality. I will say this though, I've had a Pi**neer AVEC touch screen fail on me within 1.2yrs and that stereo cost me $600 and that was for my truck. For my boat, I'm not concerned, YET and I was looking for a 'cheapy' just to see if I'm even going to commit to being a boat owner. This stereo performs perfectly, was a snap to install, didn't break the bank and I sound great connected to my SKAR SK65M's and a Pyle 1200w amp.One reviewer left a 1 star review as if she's soooo disappointed, because she even bought a set of $25 Lanzar speakers, LOL!! Maybe she should've just gotten a bluetooth speaker and called it a day? IDKBottom line is, if you're even looking at this stereo, you're NOT looking to spend high end $$$, so don't expect high end quality, BUT DEFINITELY be prepared to be pleasantly surprised!

The media could not be loaded. Why did you pick this product vs others?:I picked this item for the reviews. I know nothing about electricity OR the first thing about installing a radio. My husband said we should pay someone to install it. I’m glad we didn’t and I tried to do it myself. Tools required were wire cutters and crimpers (one handheld tool) and some wire connectors. Mine were red and I used 16-22g connectors. I did have a non working radio that existed but the faceplate had been removed so there was no way for me to operate the one that existed. I removed the old radio as a whole which had the wiring harness attached to the back and I cut each wire one by one the closest to the harness, to give me the longest wire length to work with. I then took the wire harness that came with this radio and color coordinated each wire connection. Ex. White with black strip to the white with black stripe. Going through each wire that was used on the old one. Not all wires like purple or green were used and needed to be connected for my radio to work. I then connected the ground, slid it back into place, put the trim piece around it, turned my battery on and accessory switch and I was good to go. I didn’t want to spend 100’s of dollars on a radio that would only be used for a season as I live in CT. So this was a great match. I already had JVC speakers installed in my boat which I found out worked fine and played well, so I didn’t not need to install new speakers. Happy boating!!

Bluetooth disconnects and won’t allow my phone to reconnect until I hit the reset button. It is a pain but I guess I shouldn’t expect much from a cheap radio
