Happy to hear! Appreciate the support! :)

This is the best option and the ONLY option. Specifically because it has dual bluetooth chip, the power port is set back so it can’t be seen. Almost all of the portable CarPlay’s all have it directly on the side so you can see the power wire. This unit connects instantly. It’s smooth. I’ve watched videos on every one out there and this is by far the best. And the one of the best parts is that it comes with almost all the car manufacturers symbols.

Is it designed well to unmount the screen often? I think at some areas It might attract some thief. :D So do you know something about quality of the stand?

@tech.reviews

Yes! It has the ball design at the back so you can just unscrew quite easily and take it off, then put it back on when you're ready to drive. Use a tiny bit of force to pull it off, but not too bad if you're worried about thieves.

Great vid. I guess if you're really bothered about wires you could run it off of a battery bank?

Жыл бұрын

Hey J B thanks for checking in. So far it's been seamless. As soon as I start the car, the system turns on and CarPlay connects within 10-15 seconds. Only hiccup is that it needed a software update, which the manufacturer provided me with the instructions (just plug in a USB with the files). Other than that, no complaints, works continuously just as I hoped it would.

Hello, about the GPS MAP function, is there an update to be done from time to time? or is it automatic??? how does it work? .....To connect the camera (rear) the connection, is it easy and explained in the manual?? Should it be plugged into the reverse gear switch or wiring harness? Or just on the device? Thank you for the answers...hi from France...

Try reset the device and update your phone as a starting point. Best if the device is connected to your car via Aux so it's directly connected. Otherwise, Roadtop may also provide you a software update if you want to reach out to them, it may be a bug!

It's redundant no you watch the road you watch your mirrors you glance here and there you don't stare at it of course. It's not complicated. You can also play it in the background with the screen off. Try doing that with the GPS it can't be done maybe GPS needs to be banned.
