Things to consider: what you need, price.
Firstly, this thing provides all the features you need, less a touch screen or advanced audio settings and outputs. It has Bluetooth that for me has been very reliable. It has not one, but two USB ports. One for streaming and one that supports fast charging. It has an AUX input. It has a Micro SD card slot.
Secondly, it is super inexpensive. This is less than 4 gallons of gas in most states. Less than a single entre and many restaurants.
Installation is very easy, if you have any experience with doing so. Otherwise, watch a video from one of the name brands as this installs just like any other single DIN unit. Note, you will need a harness for your specific car. This is true for any car stereo, otherwise, you will have to cut wires and that should be avoided. You can wire the harness outside of the car, while watching TV. Just match colors and use butt connectors or solder.
Using it is as straightforward as it gets. There aren't any crazy in depth settings menus. You have bass, treble, fader (front to back) or balance (left to right).
The FM radio tuner is very good for an inexpensive unit, though just a bit short of a Pioneer Super Tuner. I did not test the AM side.
The sound quality is good. With bass and treble at 0, it is very neutral without any any boost to the low end. The claimed output wattage is exaggerated, or listed as PEAK output. Most car stereos, regardless of brand are listed this way, while the RMS or typical output is around 14-22w per channel. Again, this applies to all car stereos. This one is probably at the lower end of that spectrum, it lacks some dynamic range and I suspect it may be eliminating lower frequencies to allow higher volumes without distortion. It is best to drive aftermarket speakers with internal amplifiers. Very few modern aftermarket door speakers are efficient enough to sound all that good when driven by the stereos internal amplifier.
Final verdict, this is a great bargain. It looks nice, works good, sounds good and has an excellent feature set. Plus, no one is likely going to break into your car to steal it.

Not bad for $20!
I installed this in my '98 Ford Ranger, replacing the factory AM/FM/Cassette Tape radio that was failing.The controls on this are pretty straightforward, to the point I didn't have to look up some obscure button combination in the manual to set the clock. To be fair, I do like the controls from the factory radio better, but for an aftermarket one these aren't bad.I like how you can change the LED color. There is a color cycling mode by default, but I would find that very distracting when driving.Radio reception on FM was excellent, AM reception was mediocre, but at least it's there and works. I listen to a lot of local AM radio, so an FM-only radio was a non-starter for me.I paired my phone to it and played a little bit on Pandora as well when testing it. I have not tested making a phone call yet. I did like how it has a mic built in to the radio face, but I went ahead and installed the external mic on one of the sun visors. Now I'm legal for the hands-free driving laws.Audio quality with the factory speakers was pretty good for a cheap radio on the factory speakers. Not super tinny, and not highly distorted with fake bass boosting. That being said, I highly doubt the 200 watts power output claims this has on the box.In the end, this isn't bad for a cheap radio. I ended up paying more for the wiring harness and dash mounting kit than the radio costs.

That's a saying that has lived with me for nearly all of my existence on this here spaceball called, Earth. Apparently gone are the days of simple head units. My 1998 Jeep Wrangler literally eats radios. If you took the time to look through the my review history you'd see quite a few head units have been purchased over the years. Once up a time I could grab a simple black or silver single DIN with a volume and tuning knobs, a simple equalizer that was also maybe Bluetooth, and had enough intelligence to store around 12-18 preset stations and have a backlight that was visible in the daytime. Now I get remote controls and microphones and flashing lights and unnecessary buttons. I'd prefer some under-promised over-delivered radio that functions like a radio for a fair price.
