Excellent product and great value for the price! The screen is large, clear, and responsive. Wireless CarPlay connected quickly and works perfectly. Installation was straightforward, and the sound quality is good. It has made driving much more convenient and enjoyable.

Installation is simple and the operation is flawless. The screen is clear, the touch response is quick, and the wireless CarPlay connection is always fast. The picture quality and sound quality are excellent. Highly recommended! I recently purchased this CarPlay display for my car and am extremely satisfied with its performance and features. The touchscreen has high brightness, sensitive response, and is easy to operate, making it an excellent accessory for the vehicle.

Hi. This is a cool gadget, I just don't like it. Given the item description was accurate, and it's my own personal preferences that cause me to not like it, I am not returning it. Will sell on FB or something. Bought for use with an Android device. It syncs great with phone and car audio system. No qualms there. Touch screen works great and is bright enough for easy use. Set up was easy and hassle free. So what I was just meh about... It's not very portable. I'd like to be able to take it in and out of the car with ease. Once it's mounted, it's mounted. There for criminals to see and desire, who would just rip it off the dash and go. It's there to bake in the long, hot, miserable sun while parked. Just kinda impractical for my intent, but may be just perfect for you. I've discovered Android Auto is just inflexible. That'll be a beef, I guess, with anything relying on it. Only certain apps are compatible with it and I can find no way to sideload or trick it into displaying apps I'd like, like Geocaching, or Netflix or IPTV (while not driving, of course). But this is an Android Auto thing. Screen mirroring IS an included feature, so that does mitigate some of the Android Auto restrictions. I'm just not a fan of that implementation. Not an issue with this device. The dash cam feature is great, but has a very annoying feature. The thing runs constantly and automatically. If there was a setting to allow me to disengage it from autostarting, that would be awesome, but no. It kicks on, I press button to stop it. Then it magically starts again when I don't need it on. It's probably doing exactly what it should. This is my first dashcam kinda thing. I'd just rather have a setting to turn off autorecord on start. Probably just me being picky. And there doesn't seem to be a "select all" to get rid of the many recordings it made when I didn't need it recording. So had to delete all videos it took one at a time. Comes with MicroSD installed, so no worries on having space for recording. Also has a rear cam included too. I never even took it out of its baggie in the box. In the end, my expectations were likely too high for the device itself and for Android Auto's capabilities. The knock from five stars is more related to the lack of portability and what seems to be a lack of ability to toggle off the autostart of the dash cam. In an ideal world, would be awesome to have a device of the same form factor with the integrated dashcam, but essentially be a full functioning Android tablet. That way, can install what ya want natively. But I don't think that exists yet. I think it's a great product, but as I said before, I think my expectations were unreasonable. So, there it is. Review complete. Hope you found it useful. Have a great day. Take care. :)

For those of you who already have a backup camera, no navigation, and would like to upgrade the capability to connect your phone by either Android Autoplay or Apple CarPlay (is compatible with both) wirelessly with a brilliant 9-inch screen, then look no further. Not only this, but the price is extremely good at $69.00 US. The instructions that come with the unit are remarkably simple to understand and to set up. If you are already tech savvy, you will have no issues installing this unit in about 5 minutes. Non tech savvy, about 20-30 minutes. In the attached pictures. 1) Everything that comes in the Box; Unit, power plug, 2 methods of attaching the unit (window mount or dash mount) with adhesive pad, aux cable to plug into your existing car stereo, along with tool to press cable into dash crevice to hide it. 2) and 3) Side shots of the unit, Right side is On/Off, Left side is Power cord and Aux inputs. Disregard the AV Input and Mini memory card, as they are not used on this unit. 4) Initial setup screen 5) Setup screen for setting your phone up, audio output and Bluetooth music (if you select blue tooth music for another device you will have to disconnect CarPlay /Android Auto 6) Bluetooth setup screen, set your phone to scan with power applied to the unit and will connect within 2 minutes 7) Audio Select screen; 4 choices Unit speaker, BT Audio, FM channel, or Aux line in 8) A portion of the general setup for your selection choices more messages, Startup, 9) How your screen will look like mirroring your phone, and 10 )Split screen showing your mapping navigation and your music source. The screen has a very clear display in which you can set the brightness. Being touchscreen, you can touch the microphone icon and ask for directions for your Waze or Google Maps application and get them in an instance. I would recommend using the aux cable if you have an input, but that is from personal experience. The Bluetooth connection is also good. I have another unit in my 2012 Jeep where I needed camera. Also, as this is not a permanent install, you can move the unit between vehicles, keeping your settings without having to change them. Between the two, this model's screen has impressed me more. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to upgrade to a better screen allowing phone connectivity.

This device is great! I have owned this for a little over 30 days and wanted to wait to do a longer review on it to make sure I didn't run into any long-term issues. There was one small issue I had in the first few days which I was able to get resolved (more on that below). Other than that, this Smart Screen has worked flawlessly every day! I own another similar device that I installed in another vehicle which was twice the cost of this one (it included a backup camera and some other helpful features which this one doesn't have). However, this Smart Screen is half the cost of that one and probably has about 90% of the features I use every day. So, I would highly recommend this one especially if you don't need a backup camera or other features. On the note of the backup camera, there is a plug on the device to connect a backup camera. So, you might be able to buy one that is compatible with this Smart Screen. However, if you want to do that, I would recommend that you reach out to the company directly to make sure the backup camera is compatible. I didn't try to find one with this device since I don't need one. However, I have owned other Smart Screens in the past and in my experience they aren't always compatible with 3rd party backup cameras that are available on Amazon. So, double check compatibility with the company directly if you are trying to do that. Overall, if you are looking for a device that will work great with Android Auto or Apply Car Play and don't need other features, this is a great one to use! I really like the size of the screen. It looks great in my car and makes my drive a lot more enjoyable. It connects very quickly and wirelessly to my phone. The audio sounds great over my Aux cable (my vehicle doesn't have bluetooth and so I use the Aux cable). I recommend getting right angle cables for both the usb-c power supply and the Aux cable (if you use one) since it looks a lot nicer in my opinion. I think I picked up some on Temu for less than $2 each. But you can get those here on Amazon or other places. The Aux cable I bought made the audio sound a lot better than the Aux cable that was included. So, that's something to know to. The smart screen is compatible with both Android and iPhone. I also like that I can take it with me if I buy a new car or if I travel and need to rent a car. Its very portable. And about that issue I had, the issue I was running into is that my Android phone would constantly disconnect and then reconnect every few minutes. I reached out to the company and they helped me resolve it quickly. It was a super easy fix and I haven't had any issues since we resolved the issue. If anyone else runs into that same issue, here are the steps to fix the problem that I got from the company which worked for me. (1) On your phone, go to the Google Play store and download and install the EveLink App (by CamTree) (2) On your Car Smart Screen: Access the SuperLink App (Android mode) (3) On Your phone: Open the EveLink App and connect to the Smart Screen. (4) Wait for the App to display the message "Android 16 Auto Connect issue Fixed" (5) Done. (6) To check it, switch back to Android Auto mode on your Car Smart Screen and connect to your Android phone. Make sure Android Auto no longer disconnects.

I have to admit that this product exceeded my expectations. When I first considered purchasing it, I was hesitant because it was not specifically designed for my vehicle's factory system. I had concerns about compatibility, connectivity, and whether it would look out of place in my car. After using it, however, I can confidently say it has been one of the best automotive upgrades I've made and is absolutely worth the investment. I drive a 2017 vehicle equipped with a 360-degree camera system. After researching CarPlay upgrades in the past, I repeatedly came across information suggesting that adding CarPlay would either require disabling my factory cameras or paying for a costly custom installation. As a result, I had resigned myself to living without CarPlay. While I love virtually everything else about my vehicle, the lack of modern smartphone integration was a constant frustration, especially when using navigation, messaging, and music apps. After driving several rental cars equipped with Apple CarPlay, I quickly realized how much I had been missing. Determined to find a solution, I began researching again and was pleasantly surprised to discover portable CarPlay displays. These products either didn't exist or weren't widely available when I originally explored my options a few years ago. When Black Friday arrived, I finally decided to take the plunge. I initially considered several 7-inch models, but they seemed a bit undersized for my midsize vehicle. This display turned out to be the perfect fit, offering a screen large enough to be easily visible without overwhelming the dashboard. Installation was remarkably straightforward. The entire setup process took approximately 15 minutes, with most of that time spent deciding on the ideal mounting location. Pairing the display with my phone took only a few minutes, and now it automatically connects within seconds every time I start the car. Finding the right placement was the most challenging part, but once installed, it looked surprisingly integrated. I was able to position it so it doesn't obstruct the air vents or my view of the road, and it resembles a factory-installed pop-up display. With a little effort, I also managed to conceal most of the wiring, resulting in a clean and professional appearance. The device's built-in speaker is perfectly adequate, but I quickly discovered an even better setup. I can remain connected to the CarPlay display while simultaneously using my vehicle's Bluetooth system for audio output. This allows all sound to play through my car's speakers while I control everything through the touchscreen interface. I initially tested the AUX connection, which worked reasonably well, but the Bluetooth configuration has proven to be far more convenient and seamless. Performance has been outstanding. The interface responds quickly, wireless connectivity has been reliable, and I have experienced absolutely no noticeable lag. The screen operates smoothly and consistently, making daily driving much more enjoyable. Overall, this has been a fantastic upgrade that completely solves the one feature my vehicle was missing. The combination of easy installation, excellent performance, ideal screen size, and affordable price makes it an exceptional value. If you're driving an older vehicle and want the convenience of CarPlay without replacing your factory system, this portable display is an excellent solution. I couldn't be happier with my purchase, and it has genuinely transformed my driving experience.

I really wanted to love this thing. I gave it a solid two week run because I figured maybe the issues were user error while I got used to it. Sadly it wasn’t me. It was the device was faulty. Everyone before me already covered the good parts so no need to repeat the obvious. Setup was easy, the interface is simple, and it’s friendly enough for anybody. Here’s my issue though. After startup, while driving, the screen would almost always go black. The only thing still visible was the little round home icon. It happened over and over, daily. I tried everything. Power cycling, checking every connection, firmware updates, screensaver off, full factory reset. Didn’t matter. It still kept happening. I’m honestly bummed because I wanted it to work. In the end I returned it. I’d still recommend it to someone who wants an easy starter unit and doesn’t mind maybe doing a little tinkering. But for me, reliability matters more than bells and whistles. Perhaps, I'll reorder, if I see it on sale.

Honestly didn't expect much for the price but this thing blew me away. Setup was super easy — literally plug and play, no complicated wiring or installation needed. The 9-inch screen is crisp and bright, touch response is smooth, and wireless CarPlay connects instantly every time I get in the car. Navigation, music, hands-free calls — everything works flawlessly. Bluetooth pairing was a breeze too. For under $70 this is an absolute steal. Highly recommend to anyone looking to upgrade their car without breaking the bank!
