Easy CarPlay upgrade
I had low expectations for this product given the price. I replaced the car radio for my Toyota Sienna to get CarPlay and it was expensive and a lot of work. For my Toyota 4Runner, replacing the radio is not practical given the non-standard form-factor. When I saw some reviews of this product I was skeptical on many fronts, but the reviews were excellent so I decided to go ahead. I purchased the 9" model.Installation was relatively easy (see below). The unit started up and was immediately seen by my phone and car radio Bluetooth. CarPlay soon followed and worked as advertised. When I start the car, the unit powers on and CarPlay starts up. The screen has an excellent image and is far better than the factory radio.I checked out the front camera (supplied) and found that it ran automatically and delivered a great image. The unit automatically stores time slices of what it sees for later recovery or playback.I wasn't fond of the provided boot up screen, but an email to the support team quickly got a Toyota image which was easily added.The unit comes with several mounting options. My 4Runner precludes one otherwise solid mount by having a mottled dash that doesn't provide a good mounting surface. I've had bad experiences with windshield mounting options which fall off with heat and direct sunlight. The unit is light enough that it probably wouldn't be damaged when this occurs, but I prefer a more robust option. I use RAM mounts for a more solid mount given I drive off-road frequently. I took one of the provided mounts apart to get the base bracket. I used a 10-32 screw to attach it to a base RAM mount with a ball and used the RAM system off my dash to attach the screen. So far this is working well.In summary, the device far exceeded my expectations. The image is great and it just works to provide an easy path to CarPlay or the Android equivalent.

Great for Old Imports
Having a car that is incompatible with American GPS and lacking an AUX cable makes it very difficult to play music, especially when removing the current radio unit is not an option. However this unit has everything I was looking for.The most important aspects is that it is easy to set up and use, as simple as turning it on and connecting the phone via Bluetooth. After that, it’s ready to go with everything you could need on the road. I mainly use music and maps, and so far I have had no issues. Best of all, it’s not laggy like a lot of other products. One of my favourite features of this model is that you can actually use screen mirroring by connecting via the unit’s WiFi channel, which lets you play things like YouTube or recorded lectures while driving. I use the FM option for the device, and it sounds great!I have an iPhone so I cannot speak towards Android’s CarPlay, but I would assume it is as efficient.There is also a built-in dashcam which is very helpful, and when viewing the footage it is of good quality as can be expected when it is in relation to the other features.Overall, this is a great choice that negates the need for spending $200+ on other devices when this already does everything you could need without issue.

Great value. Works seamlessly.
This was a great addition to my 2013 Scion. I bought the 9” display - easy to set up and pair in seconds. This device works with Android or iOS, but I use it to connect my iPhone 13 via Apple CarPlay wirelessly to my car stereo system. It automatically connects every time I start my car. I primarily use Waze for navigation and it works great accessing my locations without handling the phone. Play music, audiobooks or podcasts from any streaming app available for the iPhone - Spotify, Audacy, Audible, Tune In, etc . . . Access your contacts and make calls from the screen. The unit has a nice big, bright (brightness is adjustable if you prefer darker) and clear screen and just as responsive to touch. Excellent front camera. Unit comes with an SD card for your recordings and a rear back camera as well. Overall, this is a great value purchase for a unit packed with features. Great gift for someone that does not have CarPlay on their vehicle.

Inconsistent connection
Let me qualify my review based on returning the 1st unit due to an issue, now returning the 2nd one. I tried both units using iPhone 13 and Samsung Flip phone.PROS:- Very good screen resolution- Camera is quite solid as well, very good resolution- The wide mount will stay in put in an F5 tornado, it is not movingCONS:- Setup instructions are of no value. The photos I had in the manual didn't match my display (which I figured was due to the software being more current, not unusual) nor did any of the setup written words match what was happening. Never receive confirmation that it is paired with a phone.- Had to do the setup process everytime I used it. I learned quickly if I was navigating somewhere, stopped for any reason such as gas, the route was forgotten. Result was I had to reselect it.- Nav audio to play thru car bluetooth was almost a nightmare by itself. I could play podcasts with no issue, but nav worked when it seemingly felt like it.In summary, I will never buy this again. Some people have had very good luck with theirs. Not everyone, so if you purchase it, be prepared for the unknown when setting it up. Hopefully it will work great for you, but no longer anything I wish to deal with.
