Default $20 no name radio

My factory radio failed about a year ago. I experimented with double din radio but was not happy with it. Too much glare on the screen, So I went back to the $20 noname radio. along with PAC ROEM-VET1 System Interface Kit, I kept the factory speakers and amps.
This little radio sounds great and has lots of features. Radio, Bluetooth handsfree, SD card AUX and USB etc

Any way to connect the rear CD player?
And what's all that about jumping around in the display?

Is that the one from Walmart? I put that in my work truck a few years ago, works good. Mine doesn't have a cd player which is fine.

Maybe you could connect CD via AUX, I don't know.
I got my entire music library on an SD card, probably around 4000 songs
when playing from SD or USB it displays the Album, Artist and song

Sounds better than stock. Yes all speakers and channels work. I adjusted the fader 1 notch to the rear. That seems to give it a better surround sound. Also adjusted bass + 4 and treble +4

Radio installed and working 100% now i need to build a frame for it.

Incase anyone is using an aftermarket radio with a pac, you the YELLOW cable on the footwell to power the unit.

I didn't know it has bluetooth and it sounds great.

This radio has sensitive controls and lacks a mid level, also the rears are no longer 100 % full powered even with adjusting the pac.

This radio is temporary until i figure out what double din i want or find a great deal.
