Sound is great but it's not perfect.

This was remarkably easy to install in my elderly mother's 2011 Kia Soul. The factory radio started making my speakers pop and crack as if they were blown, but that wasn't the case at all.
I have replaced my own car stereos for years and this was one of my easier swaps. However, there's a hiss present a low volume that I can't get rid of. I know all of my wires in the harness are properly stripped, crimped and heat shrunk. Connections are perfect.
I did have to order an antenna adapter that Crutchfield made an oops and didn't disclose I would need. I am hoping that after I pop it back out and connect the antenna the hiss might disappear. The sound quality at higher levels (6 and above) is astoundingly good and you can no longer hear the hiss - and the Soul is known for having a pretty darn good factory set-up on this model. I'm very pleased with the sound, I just want to be able to listen at low volumes without losing my mind at the hiss. Fortunately/unfortunately, my mother is a bit hard of hearing so she doesn't hear the hiss, and she is in love with the new radio.
The Bluetooth pairs lightning fast. It took ages on the old factory radio so this is a dream come true.
Finally, the clock will absolutely NOT manually set. It says the antenna will allow it to automatically set, but even though the manual gave instructions to manually set the time, it simply will not take. Hopefully the antenna adapter will resolve this issue as well.
If I can resolve the hiss and clock issues, then I'll update this rating to a solid 5 stars. This radio has enormous potential and the price-point is fantastic.

With 8 surge-protected outlets, including 4 widely spaced outlets, this CyberPower SX650G 650VA battery back-up system guards against power spikes and provides up to 8 minutes of run time, so connected devices shut down properly during a power failure.

Bought to replace a failed one. Works just great as always. Never had any issues with CyberPower battery back-ups. Slowly replacing my APC's with these because the batteries seem to hold out longer on these.

Keep your office equipment safe with this APC battery backup. It has six outlets with surge protection, four of which also have backup protection to keep your important electronics powered short-term during an outage. Audio and light alarms on this APC battery backup let you know if something is wrong.

I have a love/hate relationship with battery back-ups because they're mostly clunky, ugly and noisy. But this one is none of those things! It was also a great deal on sale.

The space station has been overrun by hostile aliens and you are now being hunted.

My son said the only negative thing about the game was how quickly he beat it. LOL

Will this fit in a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT?
Yes, you CAN make this (or any double din radio) work, however it's a job best left to professionals and they will likely charge you a pretty penny for the additional work it will take. The thing that makes this install so blasted horrible is a metal support bracket that gets in the way. The only way to get it out of the way and allow proper install is to cut it out using a hacksaw.
