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

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).

I've put off getting a CarPlay head unit for several years now because the prices seemed too high for what I considered a compromised solution. For me the best solution is having CarPlay factory installed and using my car's in-dash screen, rather than adding a unit with additional wires going everywhere. But at $109 (after a $30 coupon) it was totally worth it.Installation was relatively easy, the only real challenge being the small size of my car's dash. One of the included mounting adapters worked with the CD drive mount I already had for my iPhone, so I used that as I didn't want to block my reverse camera and I didn't want it on top of the dash impeding my view. (Still trying to figure out where to put my iPhone now.) The instructions weren't terribly detailed and it took me a couple of tries to connect my phone to it but most of the time was spent figuring out where to put it. (If your intention is to use CarPlay, don't bother giving the unit access to your contacts.) After connecting, it worked as advertised.The unit's speakers are not good but it comes with an audio cable to route to your car's audio in. You can turn off the unit's speakers (by accessing the app provided in CarPlay and going to settings, then tap the orange button on the top to go back to CarPlay). I had to figure out how to get my car to default to audio in but once I did that I had the same sound quality I've always had from my car's installed speakers. The only difference is when starting up there is a small pop, but that's probably just an issue with my car and grounding or something.Siri is much easier to trigger now (I never really figured out how to do it from my car's installed system, I think I was supposed to hit the answer phone button or something, I always used my Watch instead). The unit's microphone does a decent job of picking up requests. From there Siri is, well, Siri.I am in a bit of wire hell now, unfortunately. Where once I had one cable for power to my phone, I now have three: power to the unit from the cigarette lighter (the only included powering option), audio from the unit to the car and power to my phone from the USB port on the unit. But, I knew that was going to happen. I guess you can also route your car's camera to the unit, but that would require another cable and, I think, cracking open my car's dash so I'm not going to attempt that.Overall, the price was great, the unit works well and I finally have CarPlay. Very satisfied with this purchase.

I got this for an older Jeep that had a standard CD stereo. For a decent price you can instantly add Apple CarPlay or Android Auto as simply as connecting to your phone via Bluetooth. I was surprised to see how quick it was to set up.My only criticism is that once another phone connects it will become the “primary” and that phone will automatically connect. Any other phone that was previously connected will have to connect manually, even if no other phones are in the car. Maybe this is standard for Bluetooth devices, but I would have preferred for it to be first-come-first-served.

Older car now has car play. Connected to aux of stereo, so music and directions come thru the car’s speakers. After owning this device for over 6 months the power adapter broke and needed replacement. I bought a Czepa 12v car dc charger cord with 8 connectors. It is 4 amps and works well with the carplay device.Also, recently my iPhones couldn’t connect to Carplay. Conyacted support who asked for my Amazon order number which I provided; but then no answer for 4 days and counting. Eventually I found that the iPhones were blocked from connecting to carplay. By going to settings, general, carplay and then selecting the aphqua device an option to reactivate Carplay for the device could be selected. Now the device works for the iPhones. Why couldn’t support get back to me and help?

This device exceeds my expectations. The screen display is good. The wireless Android auto connects with an old Samsung Note 10. The wireless connection may drop once per few days. The night mode needs to be adjusted manually. Based on the low price, the device is good.
