I reasonly brought one of these for my 2014 Malibu because I don't have a screen with any of these options in my car...a little hard to figure it out but after watching this video I feel much more confident and I can refer back to it for information on the product things I can't figure out...Thank you this was very informational and helpful for me

A great review.👍 The tip about mirroring is great. Being able to watch youtube is important to me as I sit in the car to have my lunch.👍👍👍

ATTENTION!!! Guys do not use their original mount that blocks your view driving. I bought 2 heavy duty magnet phone holder that attaches to your AC vent in that way and stick my wireless carplay to it. And won’t block your view and to avoid accident.

You have means to position it in a way that dont't block the view on majority of cars, people have been doing this with phones for years. Attaching holders to the vent will not only block the vent but will also probably break its fins (it has happened to my prior car).

Bought it today and arrived today. I love it. However, downside is the mirroring works 50/50

I bought this from Amazon-direct, from your recommendations and how it would fit in my 2014 CX-5. It has an ‘entertainment’ system but cannot be upgraded. I wanted Car Play. This unit worked well when connected initially. Connected easily, adapted to the aux in in the car. Next drive, the touch-buttons were way off. Touch screen is way off for selecting items. Touch the desired item on the screen, touch command shows up to the left about 3”. Cannot select ‘Factory Reset’. Fail. Return

Can you connect that unit's audio to your radio via Bluetooth?

Which backup camera works with this? Just bought this on Amazon and would like a backup camera.

Hey simple car guy can you doca video on how to replace the Hydraulic pump on the E89 Z4 roof ?

Had the same unit. Unfortunately it stopped working after 6 months.

Hello, every time I get into the car I have to turn on the FM transmittter again. Is there a way to keep it on so when I turn it on it immediately uses that

Hi how do u charge it? Cause mine is not going bat full

does this come with a backup camera?

All well and good, but I wanted to see hos the mapping worked. Thats one of the reasons I'm interested in 1. Go to a different place and show it.

Thanks for the informative video. Can I ask if anyone has changed the UI to an Android Auto Launcher on this device? For example Car Web Guru, etc? I did pose this same question to the online vendor but his response was just a simple yes without further elaborating. Thanks

will this device mirror everything i have on the main screen ?? like facebook, or I don't know, youtube?? or comes with pre-installed applications

I just got one

Will it bluetooth to your car? So you can still have steering wheel controls?

Hi everybody. Hi Dr Nick

I bought one went through all the steps for connection but the screen never switched the car play any advise?

Its better than having to get a touchscreen head unit that requires you to tear the dash out to just to put it in..

How do you install the camera thing?

I can't connect mine to my car radio as the led screen on my car is old and can't see the led lettering or numbers

Get a hardwire kit for your camera, it gets power from the fuse box and frees up your 12v socket.

Some body told me that it will not work with Samsung mobile phones is this right

Good morning! I am hoping you can help me. I bought the same unit 2 weeks ago, and as of today, I've not been able to pair the phone with the unit, I have an android cell phone. Can you please take a minute and tell me how to pair the unit, what to do on each unit so they can pair? the instructions say to look for car.... something in Bluetooth, code 888888, but I can't seem to be able to put the code or get it to work. Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated! I'm 70 years old and I need any help I can get! I'm going to return it in one week if I cannot make it sync with my phone. Thanks a lot for your help.
