Price
This head unit is excellent for a very reasonable price.
For the money, easy to program, easy to use blue tooth, and the sound is good for my pontoon boat.
Packaging/appearance
Also, i have a small 32gb usb plugged in, which is packed with music, and that works great.
I installed in minutes, but no where on the box does it say marine grade.

Overall better than i expected for the price and a lot cheaper than a carplay single din unit.
