Had a new radio installed and the entire experience was excellent. The staff was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of my questions. The installation was clean and completed on time, and everything works perfectly. Great customer service from start to finish, fair pricing, and quality workmanship. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for audio upgrades or vehicle electronics installation. Thanks again for the outstanding service! read more

This company is horrible. Safe your money do not spend with them. I have been waiting over a year for a replacement unit because the 2 units they have sent me do not work. They want a depost everytime they send me a unit and the lasrt time they sent the unit and I sent back the orginal one they did not want to give me my deposit back. I had to open a claim with the BBB in order to get my depsosit back. SCAMMERS DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!!! read more

This is two month review! I have it now wired to full sound system (4 channel and sub amp) through its RCA outputs, still working awesome! Clean/undistorted sound. Also bonus, the voice command button on steering wheel activates siri when using car play! I only say that because my 5th gen 4runner (2021) that comes with carplay from factory, button does not call siri on stock radio. Still enjoying gigantic display! Only reason i am keeping at 4star: car comes with multiple usb output. Headunit will not engage in carplay (even if i am using correct designated usb wire for carplay), if another iphone is connected at same time to other output. Fix: just use one USB! read more

Phoenix Automotive - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Walnut, California

This company is a joke. They do not stand behind their product and they will not fix it.. Their software updates are agonizingly, slow, painful, and far between. There are no instructions.. I've been doing this for many years and this is by far one of the worst car companies I've ever experienced.. I highly recommend you do not use this company for anything save your money and spend it elsewhere. The radio that I bought was falsely advertised as being capable of things that it could not do due to the lacking hardware. Once I found this out, the company would do nothing to support me other than semi software updates, which would do nothing without the correct hardware. read more

Please, don't bother buying from this company. They are scammers who never answer the phone; you can only contact them by repeatedly filling out forms, after which you get a message saying they'll get back to you within 24 hours. They are fraudsters who post fake reviews about their own company--written by themselves and their associates. They sell Android head units that lack the features of the original factory radios. In my case, after a month of back-and-forth--sending videos showing issues with the A/C and fan, screen settings, the screen brightness constantly fluctuating, and the A/C turning on and off on its own (the fan only runs when the A/C is on)--none of the idiots communicating with me knew anything about these units. They'd just say they were reporting it to a technician and that I'd hear back within 24 hours. That is a huge LIE! It's a piece of junk that shouldn't even be on the US market; save yourself the headache of dealing with this garbage. After buying this crap and reading the return policy carefully, I decided to return the cheap junk--because, as the saying goes, "cheap stuff is just crap wrapped in gold foil." I fell for it, and now I want to warn you: after I returned the shit, they decided to play games with me and deducted over $100 from the refund. PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH THEM. They don't have any genuine customer reviews. They are typical con artists selling garbage while advertising it as a high-quality product. I've reported their company to ......... as scammers and fraudsters. read more

Phoenix Automotive - Speedometer not working,A/C button not working,fan not working, air flow system not changing air flows, GARBAGE. - Car Stereo Installation Near Me - Walnut, California

On 11/26/25 I placed an order with Phoenix Radio on their website for my 2019 Ford F150 for their advertised 12.1 inch screen. I paid for the radio and received an order number. The Phoenix Radio website stated there is a 1 to 2 week time from order to delivery. Phoenix Radio sent me a confirmation number and requested additional details and photos of my present radio configuration. I supplied them with all the requested information. Fast forward.... 12/11/25... No radio nor email updates! I phoned Phoenix Radio and spoke with a Filipino woman. This woman told me the radio had just passed testing and was ready to be shipped. She could not provide me with an actual shipping date nor reason for the delay. I requested to speak to a supervisor and was told one would contact me after they arrive to work at 10 AM. 12 PM and no phone call. I again phoned Phoenix Radio and spoke with a Filipino male. I advised him of the issue and told him I would be leaving for a vacation and I would not be back until the beginning of 2026. I asked if they could rush shipping to arrive before 12/15 as that is a day I am leaving for my vacation. I told them that after that date there would not be anyone to sign for, nor receive the radio. I also told him if left on the doorstep for three weeks, the radio had a good chance of being stolen. I told him I wanted to speak to a supervisor about my missing radio. He placed me on hold for over 20 minutes!!! I again found Phoenix Radio and spoke with the same Filipino male. His attitude was now rude and surly. He now told me the company did not have a unit in stock for my truck!!! How could this be?? I told him his company held my payment funds for over two weeks when their company did not have a radio in stock. I told them this was fraud! When I ordered the radio and Phoenix Radio took my payment, that indicated to me they had a radio in stock as their website implied!! Anyway, in my opinion, Phoenix RadioRadio is a scam, has zero customer support, lies, and has rude staff! I would think twice about ordering from this company! read more

Software issues. The CarPlay is terrible. Sirius radio doesn't work with the system. Display is poor. The sound quality is not good - there is no high end at all. You cannot understand the customer service techs that are located in China. Horrible value for the money. Such a waste! Do not buy! read more

If I could give this company no stars I would. Even if you know what module to order for your vehicle their company will send you a thousand emails asking for make, model, and year. The chat is worthless and the AI bot keeps repeating the same answer. Calling their number on the website or email is answered by AI if they answer at all. Even when you send the information the AI bot keeps sending you emails asking for the same information. I placed my order on the 26th of May 26, and the module finally shipped after I replied to the repeating email from made up AI names from emails. I will post pictures when the module actually arrives. Terrible company and would not recommend using nor would I go back again! read more

AMAZING! I don't know what kind of problems people are having, but I have had nothing but great customer service. Just got off a video call with a tech Jinjun Myung who walked me through every issue I had. ALL FIXED SUPER HAPPY. Thank you read more

Review of Unit and Remote Installation Support -- Serious Issues and Mismanagement I want to be clear from the outset that this review addresses the product itself and the remote support provided for installation. I cannot speak to the quality of the on-site installation services at this location. My vehicle has now been torn apart in the shop for nearly two weeks. Meanwhile, I am incurring daily storage fees while supposedly "escalated" support calls--promised to occur within 24 to 48 hours--consistently fail to materialize. More troubling, I have been repeatedly misled and given false assurances. During my most recent interaction with Katherine, she began recording a Google Meet session. According to my state law, I am entitled to a copy of that recording. Katherine promised to provide it to me--and never did. I highly recommend management review this recording themselves to fully understand the interaction. Furthermore, when I demanded escalation to a supervisor, Katherine assured me a supervisor would call within an hour. No such call was ever made. Another blatant lie that only erodes confidence in their customer service. The technical "solution" offered by Ruby--to connect the backup camera to the ACC wire--was absurd and clearly demonstrated to be ineffective. My technician tested it and confirmed the camera itself works perfectly fine when activated manually. The core problem, which I have communicated repeatedly, is identifying the correct wire to trigger the backup camera. The wire labeled as the trigger in the documentation does not activate the camera. Pressing the "camera" button confirms the unit and camera functionality, but fails to resolve the essential issue: the unit does not respond to the actual backup trigger signal. To this point, I have invested over $1,800 in technician labor and storage fees. At this stage, I have instructed my tech to methodically map every single pin and deduce their actual functions just to determine if there is even a functional backup camera trigger on this unit at all. This is an utterly unacceptable way to conduct business--especially when the product description boldly claims: Compatibility: This Android Navigation Radio Can Be Installed in Toyota Tundra 2007 - 2013 and Sequoia 2008 - 2022. OEM camera supported. If the installation experience here differs, that may explain some issues; however, for those purchasing this unit online to self-install or use a third-party technician, consider this a serious cautionary tale. Buyer beware. Let me know if you want it tuned more read more

I ordered a radio for my 2015 yukon on 12/26/2025, to todays date I got nothing and though email communucation I was aaked for another 3 to 6 weeks, I think this is unacceptable if they cant get it done in 2 months it's not gonna get done at all. read more

Do not buy! They will leave you with a product that does nothing as advertised and will not assist in any way to try to get it working. For something this expensive you would think it is a quality product. It is not. Absolute garbage customer service sinks any positive this head unit may have had. Avoid at all costs read more

Installation video on line was not as hopeful as I had hoped. I called tech support when I was about down and Bernard walked me through the rest of my setup. Early thoughts, are like it and am very appreciative of Bernard's help. read more

Very poor business practice. I purchased an open box product that the company could not make function properly for my vehicle, so they took the product back as a return. When I originally received the open box purchase I noticed one of the accessories had a bit of a tear on the sheathing of the wire, however, I wasn't installing that component. Additionally, it was so minor of a cosmetic issue that it didn't affect the wires that would be under the dash when installed. I considered it inconsequential and didn't complain as I had received a discount already for it being an open box product. However, when the company received the returned product they claimed I had damaged the wire and billed me for replacement. I worked with them for over 2 months waiting for them to complete their evaluation while also explaining what occurred. Their final evaluation was to claim that I lied about not damaging the cable and billed me the expense of the replacement part. In the end this was not about the money, which was minor in nature, but that the company was willing to call me a liar to make an extra $15. If that is their price of customer service then I question how much they are actually interested in helping the customers. read more

Carium was extremely helpful and her knowledge of their equipment is outstanding. Provided excellent support.

Horrible service. They sent the wrong parts. Missing cables and won't send the right ones. Delays and excuses. Don't buy cheap Chinese product read more

i wish i would have read reviews before ordering from this company- i ordered a Radio for my wife as a surprise, ordered it on March 3rd. Was told the same thing as everyone elses reviews " 5-10 days from order to receiving the radio" well as of today 4/3 i still have no radio. i have emailed them and emailed them, they tell me that it is being custom built for my vehicle... wouldnt that be something explained on the website when you order it? guess not. emailed them again and they told me to please allow up to 3 weeks for it to be built and shipped to them. Ok. Well now i am getting notifications that it was shipped to another place in China and is now " tracking to be delivered by the 8th" It hasn't left China in 4 days; the date keeps moving back and who knows what will happen. but i can promise them that if the product i get, if i ever do, is not what i paid for i will be disputing the charge from my credit card. one of the worst experiences ive ever had with a company. they need to be investigated read more

I was starting to have a problem with my stereo not working with my hvac controls. I set up an appointment for tech help. They called when expected and through their trouble shooting I was able to get it resolved. It was a loose connector at the back of the stereo which was 100% my fault. Even though it was my fault they were great to me and well worth the $$ I spent on the unit. read more

Waiting for refund for broken unit, they couldn't deliver it then finally arrived broken. Don't do business with them

Awesome service, he helped me fix my mic when it was having issues with incoming calls where they couldn't hear me through the radio.

I bought a radio from their site back in JUNE, it's now August and they are still telling me I have to wait 3-4 WEEKS before it's shipped which has been there answer every time I've inquired. Worst business ever. When I bought something I expected it to be shipped right away not the excuse they are telling me "being upgraded" no that's not what I bought and feel scammed. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!!!!!!! Waiting for my refund. Once I get it I may take some of my review back. Waiting to see if they are legit first to give me my money and not have to take it further. read more

Paid for a stereo over a week ago and not shipped, will not chat and phone line does not ring.

Everything about it is bad. The radios don't last more than a year. Good luck trying to get them to reply to your emails and calling in is a nightmare. Technical support is crap and they want you to pay for the fix when you have been having issues with the radio since purchase. They never say to return the unit until it's out of warranty. This company is a joke! read more

Dont buy anything they will lie and play games getting the item to you. I waited 2 months for my stereo to be delivered every time i reached they gave me some bulkshit excuse and asked if i wanted a different open box item.

I wouldn't buy anything electronic from this company.

"Full refund" is a lie. I purchased a touchscreen for my 2013 Explorer. The unit arrived in pristine condition, yet the left audio channel was blown out. It took over a month for it to arrive since it was shipped from China. It was explained by customer service that shipping would only take 2 weeks door to door so that was another lie. The reasoning was due to programming and configuration by the factory. However when the unit arrived it contained a CAN BUS decoder board for a Mustang although Phoenix claimed it was the right board for my Explorer. They ended up sending the correct CAN BUS board and only then did the unit power up. The car was unable to communicate with the screen because the software was not set correctly to work with my car. I thought it was programmed and configured by factory? More problems as well after tech support got it working. As mentioned in the beginning, the left channel of the unit was blown out. Android auto also didn't work correctly. It glitched constantly and made it impossible to use. The built in GPS never worked correctly which tech support blamed on my "poor antenna location" which was literally front center of the dash, can't get much better than that. When it came time to return the unit, Phoenix initially denied the return stating I didn't try hard enough to work with tech support although I spend upwards of 6 hours with them over 3 weeks to solve all these problems. After I pressed the issue, they finally allowed the return and paid for the return label. I sent the unit back, but they wouldn't refund the "Shipping Protection by Route" which was compulsory during the checkout process. They have since removed that from their checkout. Additionally, no where in their terms and conditions does it state that shipping protection is non refundable. When I originally consulted with Phoenix about the unit, customer service provided a checkout link for me to use so that I got the proper unit for my vehicle. This is why the shipping protection was added. I requested them to refund the protection but they argued saying "this is a 3rd party protection and we already sent them the money"... I'm sorry guys, but if the terms and conditions doesn't explain what is or is not refunded, everything gets refunded. It is not my problem that you already spent the money. One could easily argue that they setup a "3rd party company" which is their own just to collect on these type of shipping protection scams. Customer service was not helpful, tech support was very helpful when you could get them on the phone. Overall, my experience was terrible and I can only hope that they improve, but given the other post's around the internet, that won't happen and this review will get swept under the rug by them just like all the others. read more

Scam scam scam scam 1 month never received my order, haven't received my refund either.

We been trying to get Phoenix Automotive do to the right thing. They sent us a defective product in July. there has been very long delays on their part to respond to this issue. We finally received a label and the package has been returned ONLY to find out they want to charge us a 15% RESTOCKING FEE. 1) How can you suggest that you are going to restock a defective item and 2) how unethical is this company to penalize their customers for a defective product!!! where are you ethics. Additionally, we have long closed our account and they now refuse to issue a check - their response to our informing them of that was for us to call the BANK.... this is the response: Hi X Owens, Sorry, the refund will only back to the card that you placed the order, you can contact your bank for more details. Thank you. Ruby. read more
