REAKOSOUND 820S Single DIN Car Stereo

A honest review.

Be realistic look at the price it's not $100 so you don't get $100 worth of quality if you have a vehicle that you want to use Bluetooth so you can listen to music or use your phone or you have a dune buggy that needs a radio setup this is perfect. Freshly out of the box one of the two USB ports the solder is not connected well so the port power's on and off constantly so therefore I can't use it but I honestly do not care I have other USB ports. Second complaint is they do send you a remote which is what's you need it to change the display on the unit so do yourself a favour while you're ordering this get a multipack of CR2025 batteries because if you go to the grocery store to buy just one the energizer is $7 so you may as well get a bunch of spares for a cheaper price on here. Knowing what I know now and playing around with it I would have still done this purchase because it worked what I needed it for a spare vehicle that had a stock radio from the '90s in it that was upsetting me for The last few months.

Installed on golf cart

Installed in a golf cart to make it nicer. Good value, quality sound 50x4 (sounds like). Few water drops on it had to negative consequences. The lights changing colors RGB is great it goes good with the rest of the golf cart.

Do recommend getting one

Works really good with my simulator really nice display

Sencillo pero práctico

Buen producto

Easy install, simple interface

I installed this into my oldest child's 1995 Saturn SC2 with very minimal knowledge of auto work, so that will tell you that how easy it is. The radio feels sturdy in the hand as you place it, the wiring is super easy to match up since everything is color coded, and the audio setup is simple to adjust with the equalizer options. Its very simple to control the volume and choosing stations and I have a thumb drive with all my favorite CDs downloaded onto it.

Works well. Stable Bluetooth. Nice app.

This is a much better unit than a similarly priced unit I had installed previously.

The sound quality and loudness is fine. The Bluetooth is very stable and connects right away. The app works seamlessly to turn the unit on and off, select radio or Bluetooth, and operate the built in equalizer. It even lets you pick an accent color for the lighted front from the app. It rotates through the available colors out of the box which is distracting.

With a simple exterior antenna connected, the FM tuner is sensitive and picks up tons of stations. The volume is louder when playing the radio versus Bluetooth.

You have to connect both the red and yellow wires to 12 volts and the black to ground for the unit to work.

We’ll see how long it lasts. But for the price it’s an amazing package.

Priced too good to be true...

Packaging was great with the head unit sealed in shrink plastic. Shipping was fast. Unfortunately this unit was defective and will not power on. My tester showed current going to the head unit through the harness and through the unit's onboard fuse.

Get what you pay for!

Worked well for about 30 days now it just randomly shuts off or resets. Freaks out and flashes. I have tried to reach out to manufacture but unable to reach anyone. Get what you pay for when look for the “cheapest option”.

How can they mess up something this simple?

At this price point I didn't expect much but I was still disappointed. I just wanted a simple radio with Bluetooth for my jeep. This one will not connect to your phone without their proprietary and very sketchy app. After wading through all the pop ups that their QR code sent to my phone, I downloaded it and never could get it to connect. (See attached pic). I don't even care if I get the $20 back for this I just want to save someone else the headache of wasting their time on it. Pay a little more and get a name brand. I assure you it's worth it.

Works great when it works.

I have had this radio in my classic Ford since April, and it continues to loose the constant hot 12 volts. Approximately every 4-6 times that I start the vehicle, all presets are gone. Then I ran a direct wire from the battery to prove it. It made it 2 days, and lost everything again. I bought a different radio.

Time consuming

The stock radio in my 2009 Dodge Avenger just stopped working one day with a CD stuck inside. I just wanted something cheap that plugs into my speakers. This was NOT an easy fix. I bought the Unit thinking it was just going to screw into my dash: wrong. I had to buy a separate mount that cost me extra. I got the mount and then learned I had to buy an extra harness adapter to plug in. So with the mount and the new adapter, everything pieced together EXCEPT...The fact that I need to tap an extra Accessory cable so that the Stereo unit will actually power down instead of staying hooked to the constant power supply. So now I've been trying to figure out how to hook up this last wire. I've spent nearly the entire day trying to hook this thing up. Do yourself a favor; go find a reputable audio installation place. I wanted something quick and dirty and it's costing me time and causing frustration. It does work though, I guess for now.. we'll see.

Pass

radio died , haven't even had it a whole year , probably wouldn't recommend.

Great budget radio

Works great in our 2001 Newmar Dutch Star RV. Just needed something with Bluetooth capability to replace the original 24-year-old stereo that had a tape player! So far this fits the bill perfect, great audio quality, the Bluetooth works just fine, and it feels reasonably well built.

Very Good

I got bored so. yeah.

Worked well for a month or so, then audio output failed. Lights on but nobody home

Installed it in our kids' power wheels Escalade with a pair of 6" speakers; Worked well for a few days, then the audio output just quit.

Radio reception was pretty terrible, but might have been the cheap $5 antenna. Played MP3 from SD and bluetooth. Audio quality was as you'd except from something at this price.

Hoping the replacement holds up a little better, kids loved having music in their car

Good unit and cheep option.

Purchased this radio unit for a Ford ranger that didn't have one.

Pretty standard options and controls.

Love the 2 USB slots for charging actually why I chose to order this over others. Installation was straightforward, standardized wiring colors and wiring diagram on the unit itself.

Fit great into an aftermarket adapter plate.

Overall I feel like it was a good purchase for getting some tunes in a vehicle on a tight budget!

Good radio

Good radio. Easy to install (I had never installed a radio before). Fits snug into bracket off old radio so it doesn't slide around. Red LED's match my interior. Bluetooth connects good, radio stations sound good. I haven't tried anything else. I was shocked it worked so good considering how cheap it was.

Pretty, but doesn’t work

The radio looked really nice out of the box. After wiring and installing it, it did not come on. I played with it for a little while making sure all my connections are good and tight. The radio would come on, but nothing would come out of the speakers, I left it on while I was reading some information about it and finally the radio came on for about 30 seconds. When I first power the radio on instead of saying radio, it just says adio. There is no “r”. So I believe I got a bad radio. Now whenever I power it on, it says radio without the R. And then it’ll only play music about 30 seconds every 10 minutes so I would not recommend this radio to a friend.

Great Value

Bluetooth connects quickly. Charges phones, has a physical volume and next/prev track buttons. No play/pause. Display shows the name of the song playing. Doesn't show time which is kinda annoying, but I wear a watch. Overall great value for $24. I wanted cheap for my convertible miata. Don't need thieves eyeing my radio.

Installation was easy in my 2002 Mazda Miata. Other items required:

- wire harness (or Diy) - Scosche MA03B

- DIn adapter: Metra 99-7505

Pros:

- Bluetooth connects quickly

- physical volume knob

- led Backlot buttons

- orange USB = 1A 5V charging

- TF card and USB stick mp3 input

- aux input

- Matrix display shows song name

- installation super easy

- dedicated next track/prev track buttons

Cons:

- sound quality isn't the best with Bluetooth. Other input methods are better

- rubberized grip on knob isn't tightly adhered. Easy fix with two dabs of super glue

- no clock time displayed

- no play/pause button

For $24 I'm very happy. Driving a convertible, I don't want to have an enticing radio to thieves or punks who might want to damage it. It has all the inputs and buttons I want, and none of the ones I don't want.

It's a $24 head unit. If you keep your expectations realistic, you'll be pleased
