Don’t hesitate to order. Great product! I accidentally broke the cord, and the company was nice enough to send another one! The product works amazing.

Decent product, functional, poor sound quality. Lenovo Tab M9 works well for glass screen protector!!! Even though the sound quality is poor, I really like this item. It works consistently. I drive on average 1200 miles per week. I have had it for a few weeks now. Wireless apple car play is (for the most part) reliable. Every now and again it cuts out. I just unplug it and plug it back in. Fm transmitter works well but volume is reduced by a large margin. The aux plug is definitely the way to go. I have not tested Bluetooth because my work truck lacks that feature even though it is a 2018. Screen mirroring works very well. I have not figured out how to air play on it, this could be related to me simply not reading the manual. The carpuride backup camera is not very desirable. It works well when it is nice and sunny. It is useless dusk to dawn. The camera has led diodes instead of infrared. This proves to be its biggest setback. The camera also doesn’t have a fish is lens. I ordered a random infrared fish eye camera and the device won’t accept it for some reason so I have to continue using the model specific camera. I still believe for its price point it is pretty on par. I don’t know how it stacks up against its cheaper counterparts. I would recommend this product, but with a small disclaimer.

I have an older car with outdated technology, on a long waitlist for a new car so I did some research to find a good Apple car play device and WOW, I found the right one! The screen size is 9″ and the display is crystal clear. I could have purchased a 7″ for less but the 9″ just looks like the perfect size for my car. Just plug it in, connect and works like a charm – so easy. Turns on and off with the car automatically. Definitely would recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their older car with today’s technology. And as a nice touch, the brand even reached out to me to ask if I am satisfied with the product AND told me “We provide free custom boot logo service, just send your favorite photos, pictures, or car logos to us, then we will customize the boot logo for you.”

Inexpensive and easy way to have Apple Car Play. I have a factory stereo with a screen that slides up, which complicates the process of being able to maintain a factory appearance while adding an Apple Car Play compatible stereo / device. I didn’t initially want an external display to solve this problem but there are no reasonably priced ($4-500ish) options that allow me to add Car Play with a factory look. This Carpuride 9” device is great and I’m very happy with its performance. I paid about $250 for this particular version, which is way lower than any other options I found. I was skeptical that the quality would be very good, but once it’s all set up, the experience is everything I wanted my car to have in the first place. The setup was slightly goofy, as others have mentioned, but once you get it going, it’s pretty seamless. (You technically connect via Bluetooth, but it also somehow uses wifi(?)). Anyway, I now just get in my car, turn it on, and after about 15-20 seconds, it goes right into Car Play. The touch screen is sensitive and you don’t have to press any harder than a modern phone. Screen mirroring also works as expected. Phone calls sound good and the people I speak with say it sounds good on their end as well. The little speakers on the device are pretty small and the quality is just meh, but I think most people will either use the FM or AUX functionality for sound. I used the AUX connection and my music actually sounds better now than it did before. I highly recommend this for people that have limited options to get Car Play or Android Auto or just don’t want to mess with a full install of a new stereo.

So far so good. I just recently purchased the 9 inch carpuride screen for my 2008 Honda Pilot. It has given my car the screen found in the new cars, without having to replace my radio. First, off, the instructions are a bit confusing, in regards to the app to down load. Autolink Pro is the app to down load. You also have to link the Bluetooth to your phone. Be patient, and follow the directions. Now, I don’t have an aux input, so I play mines through the fm transmitter. It can sometimes get mildly staticky, depending on where I am driving, I solved that problem by adjusting the EQ found in the Bluetooth menu, and turning on the LOUD (heavy bass) switch also found in the EQ screen. Then, I turned the Bluetooth media volume all the way up on my phone. Now, I just adjust the volume with my steering wheel controls. Also, the speakers behind the screen have a nice rich sound, but I normally leave those speakers off. That volume can only be adjusted by manually adjusting it on the screen. Some of my music occasionally has an explicit lyric or two, so, I can’t be trying to adjust the volume on the carpuride while driving.I use android auto. It is very nice, and my Waze maps and all the Android auto apps are good and clear. Make sure you have the latest version of Waze, or you will have a problem with the map lagging behind your position. I had to delete my Waze, then reload it, A second way to use the screen is use the Autolink which just mirrors your phone screen. I do that if I’m in the car waiting for my wife, and I want to watch some YouTube videos.The 3rd way i figured out is Bluetooth. Android auto only works when my phone is plugged into the device. But, I can also connect my phone by Bluetooth without plugging it in. This allows you to play music or make phones only. But……BUT….if you connect your android auto first, the bluetooth for some reason won’t work. It shows the bluetooth, but you won’t hear anything. Also, It automatically connects to my phone’s Bluetooth when I turn my car on. As long as I don’t connect my phone via the usb cord, the Bluetooth is great. Once I connect the phone, And the android auto kicks in, I can’t hear anything on the bluetooth unless I restart the carpuride. That is truly no problem, because 99.9% of the time, I’m have everything I need through the Android auto.I did not use the window or dash board holder. Instead, I ordered the APPS2 magnetic car phone mount that mounts in my CD player. My CD player does not get used, lol!! So why not give it a purpose. My CD player sits up high, so it gives my screen a kind of a mini Tesla screen look, without being in the way. As far as the cords, the device cord goes to the cigarette lighter…..or whatever they call it now, …….to connect to my car’s fm transmission, and , the phone usb cord of course goes to my phone. I got some zip ties, and braided the cords together, and just let them lay down the side of the dash, and tucked them into the edge of the ash tray Not perfect,…not ugly, but really nice for me, Furthermore, with the magnetic mount, and the long cords, if I want to, I can just take the device off, the mount without unplugging it, and tuck it between my seat and the arm rest so that no one can see it. But I don’t hang out in seedy areas, so I just leave it connected when I’m out and about. Plus, my windows have a light tint, and it is really hard to see the wires from outside the car. My wife gave me 2 thumbs up, says it does not look bad at all, and it looks like all of the newer cars screens, , and she likes it. Besides, she is happy I didn’t buy a new car.Cons: it does show fingerprints really bad, lol! But so does my wife’s 2018 CRV. Also, the android auto is not an immediate connection. It normally takes about 15-20 seconds, and sometimes I have to unplug my phone and reconnect it for it to connect to AA (I just do it before I start driving). But, sometimes, it connects immediately. I haven’t figured out that sweet spot yet where it just connects all the time…..I’m sure it’s operator error, But, those are very very minor things.Now, if you have an older model car that is paid for, and runs great (like mines), and you just want to spruce up that dash board without that new car or new Tesla payment this device is the way to go. I will update as use and events warrant.7/27/2022- a quick update for two things. In regards to the device. It is great. I am really enjoying it. The device does have a red light that shows it is plugged into power. When I initially plugged it into my car, the red light was facing up, and I noticed the red light was kind of annoying when I’m driving (especially at night). So, I plugged the device in with the light facing down. That improved it 100%. Now, no distraction at all, and the red light looks like the ambient lighting you also find in newer cars. A hidden bonus……..woohoo!!However, in regards to my magnetic cd mount. My APPS2 cd mount is good. But, after 2 weeks of driving it fell out of the cd slot. What I discovered was that the little 3 little pads that hold it inside of the CD player slid off due to the carpuride weight. BUT…..BUT…. Quick fix, and I’m back in business. The adhesive used on the mount is not strong. So, I just reglued the 3 pads with some Krazy glue. Let it sit for a couple of hours, and now, no problems….at all. As a matter of fact, it is holding my carpuride screen even better . There is very little movement when I’m driving.3/25/2023-things are still going great. However, I recently bought a new phone (a REVVL6 by T-Mobile.). Now, things have gotten better. My new phone immediately connects to the carpuride WIRELESSLY!! there is no delay for AA anymore, and I only plug in my phone to charge it (if I need to). I just get in, start the car, and within seconds the AA connects. Also, all of the new Google map updates on my phone still appear on my screen. So, I now have split screen when I use Google maps and my music. The Krazy glue to my magnetic phone holder is also still holding up.
