2024 Newest Wireless Portable Carplay and Android Auto,Carplay Screen for Car with Mirror Link/AUX/FM,7‘’Carplay Screen with Detachable Sunshade and 1080p Backup Camera for All Vehicles

I purchased two of these head units for my cars. The cars are old enough that their phone messaging applications no longer work with my recently purchased cell phones, and also do not support Android Auto. This head unit is great to use navigation, audio, and hands-free call and messaging from my modern cell phone in my cars. Both units were packaged well and arrived in perfect condition. I had questions about some of the functions, and the support team was very responsive, replying to my questions within a day.Use: Android Auto Wireless using 5G WIFI and Bluetooth 5.0 from phoneAudio Connection to Car: Cable from Aux Out on Head Unit to Aux In on Car StereoInstallation to vehicle: Flexible tape-backed dashboard mount, added removable sunshadePower: Provided power cable to 12v outlet in dashboard of carPros:Very clean audioSecure dashboard mountVery responsive and helpful technical supportDefault audio settings are well-balanced between music audio, call, and nav playbackCons:Using built-in equalizer app tends to make call, message, and nav audio too low in comparison to playback of music. (Just not using equalizer solves this.)Does not work well with polarized sunglasses.Details:Phone connection. This is my first Android Auto connection, so I had a learning curve. My phone came with Android Auto pre-installed, but I found that the connection to the head unit became more reliable when I performed an uninstall of Android Auto on my phone, followed by updating the Android Auto on my phone to the latest version. The connection actually uses both the 5G WIFI and the Bluetooth service to manage the volume of data involved. When I have a connection problem, I find that restarting the phone generally resolves the problem, so I think the issue lies more with my cell phone than with the head unit.Hey Google and Google Assistant. I found that the unit accepts commands almost perfectly. I am able to send text messages and manage the apps on my phone without having to repeat myself.Equalizer. I'm not using it. I found that using the built-in equalizer in any mode but the default mode seems to make the playback of navigation, call, and message audio too low to hear without manually raising the volume on the car stereo. When the equalizer is in the default mode, the nav, call, and message audio comes out at a very comfortable volume with respect to the general level that I set for my music.Audio performance. I am using the Aux Out connection on the unit to connect to the Aux In on my car stereo. I also successfully tested the FM Uut on the unit with my car stereo, but I decided to stick with the Aux Out to avoid potential radio interference. (I did not experience any interference during my FM Out test.) I did note that, when a connection is made to the Aux Out, switching to the internal speaker does not work. Once known, this is not a problem. The sound quality is wonderful, even at high volume.Installation. The unit came with two mounts: a suction-mount with an adjustable arm, and a tape-secured simple dashboard vertical mount. Both mounts connect to the head unit with a standard four-point connection that I found to be compatible with many other vendors' car accessory devices, a nice design feature for customization. I originally tried the adjustable arm mount, but had problems with keeping it secure. I switched to the tape-secured mount and found it to be excellent for my purpose. For the tape mount, I made sure to clean the dashboard area thoroughly with alcohol, and then to allow the tape to bond for 24 hours before installing the unit.

Great alternative to those expensive and complicated radio replacements.The Pros:Quality product for a great price pointSUPER LOUD. The EQ screen has a “loud” mode that jacks the bass and volume and makes the car shake when music is playing, which I certainly appreciate, as well as the volume goes up to 40. I have it set to 25 right now, which is still plenty loud, since there is also volume variation with the phone and the car stereo.Super easy setup! Took less than 5 minutes to get everything mounted, plugged in and connected, didn’t even need the instructions.The unit comes with two different mounting options: a flat stand that sticks to the dash, or a telescoping arm that mounts to the windshield. The arm seems pretty solid, the device didn’t move or shake when I was swiping on the screen or pressing buttons.Customer service is excellent. There is an option to customize the boot screen, which is a pretty cool and unique feature. All you do is email the customer service with the JPEG, and they will send you a custom update file! (installed via flash drive through the USB) Customer service was kind enough to offer a free rear view camera, which I was planning to buy from a third party anyway, so very excited for that and will review when it arrives.There’s a lot of playing options: there is wired carplay (not tested), wireless carplay, FM transmission (not tested) and AUX cable. All require bluetooth connection, and I am pretty satisfied with the AUX option so far.Bluetooth does take a second to connect, but usually you’re connected within a minute of turning the car on.EQ is very quality and comprehensive: not just adjust bass and treble, but the actual frequencies, with some auto presets and a custom setting, which I will play around with since I don’t understand the ins and outs of audio equalizing.The Cons:The telescoping arm and unit itself make a new blind spot for me personally, since my car and seat are pretty low. I’ve had to find a way to mount it to the vents or CD slotThe plugs are all on the drivers side, which means there’s a lot of cables near my leg which is annoying, but I plan to hide them allThis is more of a design consideration, but it would be nice if the 12V plug had a usb to charge phones. However, there is a USB plug in the unit itself (for wired carplay)All in all, great product. I have been looking for a quality replacement since my last cheap FM transmitter died, and it’s a fun and affordable way to give some modern features like Apple CarPlay and reverse camera to an older car like mine (08 Altima).

This is a good value item. Wish the touch screen was more sensitive. You really have to press significantly to have it recognize the action. Other than that it works exactly as advertised.
