9.3" Portable Car Radio with Dashcam, Wireless Dash Mount, Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, Touch Screen Display, Bluetooth Stereo, Mirror Link, FM, GPS Navigation

This screen is a great way to add carplay to your older car. It also serves several other functions:* CarPlay adapter - does a great job. Takes a few seconds to connect and you might need a try or two to get it set up with your phone. Screen is bright and wide aspect ratio has a more modern feel.* AirPlay receiver - tested this and it works. Watch movies from your phone (while parked!).* Dash cam - front and rear. This means you can take something OFF your dash to make room for your new screen. Resolution is good. Angle is not as flexible as a dedicated dashcam, but worth it for less clutter.* FM (or Bluetooth or AUX) adapter. I use the FM adapter and the signal is very strong, comes through clearly. You won't want to use the unit's built-in speakers for music.* Backup cam (additional purchase required - the old backup cams I had were not compatible) - another great feature that is worth setting up.I initially wanted to use the suction mount, but it (and the 3M adhesive disks) are worthless on a textured, sloped dashboard. The included stand works great, and you can remove it from the mount with one screw if you're worried about theft. The most common issue and resolution is to ensure the unit is getting enough power (not booting, weak FM signal), sometimes you just need to push the USB-C plug in all the way. The other troubleshooting is simply forgetting the unit in Bluetooth settings and re-adding it.Bonus - you can turn off the tap/button press sounds in the settings.

I was apprehensive of size, thought it would be too large and interfere with driving. Nope. Just fine. I tried window mount and dash mount, both were fine, but I liked it mounted on dash better.The ease of connecting was great . I disconnected my phone via Bluetooth completely. iPhone, forget this device. The sound is not great so I used the FM connection, very easy. Tune device and radio to same frequency, it has to be a frequency not used by radio station. Note: a little tricky to get device to give you a station. I unplugged device and plugged back in and the option appeared.I did have trouble formatting the SD card. Pamphlet isn't very clear and they refer to it as ST. It's a micro SD card, not included. I formatted on laptop and then installed, from setting, scroll down towards bottom and hit format and you're good to go. If you want to split screen your camera and a map or music app and see the road, this is where you'll choose that option.Overall, using through car speakers, sound is great. Color didn't need adjusting. Basically this is same setup you get with a brand new vehicle. I opted for this because I don't like having a car payment and it's exactly the same.Glad I got this one. Waiting on company to email me directions to have my car logo at startup, but even if I don't switch it, it's not a deal breaker.I will add it shuts off when I turn off car and it turns on automatically when I start the car.Any issues I've seen in reviews must be user error. I had no issue, just don't have car, phone and device all connected. With this you don't need your phone and device both connected. I think that's what is causing issues with some users.Overall, glad I picked this one!

I got two of these. One for my car and one for my girlfriend's car.Right off the bat, both of them would have issues with randomly turning off or losing connection, and getting stuck in a boot loop.6 month in, the one in my girlfriends car stopped turning on all together.Yes I did check the power cord, and that was not the problem.Being an electronics technician who works on vehicles as part of their job, I exhausted every troubleshooting method I could think of to make sure it wasn't the car or power source.I ended up getting her a completely different one from a different manufacturer that while still has a few minor issues works much better then this one did.Mine stull randomly loses connection, shuts down, or reboots.Very annoying if I'm trying to use it for a bigger screen for maps and navigation while trying to drive.I've ended up just doing with out and keeping mine off most of the time.Look elsewhere, and be wary of anything at this price point ($120 USD)If this is some kind of software bug that can be fix by an update, I'd be willing to go up on the rating a little more and update my review some.

I used it for an 8-hour road trip when I first got it. Started off great, but then would shutdown and restart constantly, and did this for about an hour or so. Good thing I was stuck in traffic and didn't need directions! Good thing is that it hasn't done that since. I like the features and it's overall a good deal, but I feel like I have to reconnect it to my phone regularly ... not sure why. Also, it likes to turn on when I'm not in the car, so I have to shut it down to keep from eating my car battery.
