As someone who had to buy a 2nd car okay screen since my first one was too big and cause us too many problems, this one was perfect — I have a 2015 Chevy Malibu and it does have a touch screen already but does not have apple car play in which i use a lot in another car my family owns but this car i use the most. I wanted something that was small but still big enough so it does block the middle view of the windshield and i think this one was perfect. It comes with two different types of stands, one where it just a regular flexible stand that you stick on the dashboard which i love how flexible it was as my middle console/dashboard is not completely flat and another stand that is the arm extension with a suction, both stands you have to screw one, the flexible stand was already installed for us so we just had to stick where we wanted it and i think with it being screw ensures more protection and stability. The car play itself is perfect, very easy to understand and navigate, other both apple and android car play. The front camera is amazing, the quality is perfect. I did not install the rear camera as the car i use already has one so I cannot have a opinion on that. The cable the car play screen comes with, already has a car charge with the wire attached, which the wire is super long and comes with some sticky clips to hold the wire in place, and it has an extra USB plug in, in which i used to connect the phone charger and while charging my phone, it does not affect the car play screen at all so I can still use my phone perfectly fine without disrupting it. It automatically records for you when you start your vehicle, the only time it stops recording or from what i know is when i went to settings or manually stopped the recording, you also have the option to take pictures while looking at the front camera. I do live in AZ heat so I will be testing how well the adhesive works but I do have high hopes for it - It also comes with extra adhesive. Moral of the review, I am super happy with this purchase, i truly thought it was worth the money and i would recommend it to anyone who was interested getting an car play screen Read more

I bought an older Audi Q5 hybrid as a daily driver, and not having Carplay was driving me insane. There are a ton of units out there where I can change the screen in the car, which I will eventually do, but the research to pick the right one and the time to take the dash apart to do it isn't a priority. In steps this wonderfully cheap piece of tech, that gave me what I wanted. Let's start off with the dashcam. I won't drive without one anymore. We were hit once by someone on a scooter and they sued us. They didn't know we had dashcam footage of it happening, it saved us and our insurance from being held liable when under most instances they told us without it we would have been. One of the things I don't like about it is I wish there was just a hair more adjustability to the lens, but at this price point it isn't a deal breaker. The camera automatically turns on and records, and I didn't feel that it took away from the processor when using Carplay. On to Carplay. The screen is bright and has better resolution than I was expecting. I did have to buy a specialty cable to connect the Aux to the Audi MMI system, but I didn't even realize I never hooked it up and this little unit connected to the cars bluetooth on its own. What surprised me even more, I'll play videos when I'm driving quite often, not that I'm watching, but I did notice there was no lag. The wide screen is very nice in that it enables you to see more of the map while navigating. I haven't hooked up the rear camera, as this is only going to be a temporary solution for me, so I'll use the stock backup camera for now. Downsides, I was originally going to use the windshield mount as this is a temporary solution. You have to extend it so far it isn't really that stable. Also having to angle it to not block the dashcam was pretty tricky, so I pretty quickly gave up on that and just used the adhesive strip on the top of the dash. All of the connections are on the right side of the device, so routing of the wires away from the driver was easy, they even included a plastic trim tool for tucking the cables into crevices in the trim. Overall, great value for the money as I've spent more on just a dashcam for another vehicle. Carplay works as it should, and the device boots and connects very fast, actually faster than the wired factory Carplay in my Honda Ridgeline work truck. If you're on the fence, you can't beat this for the money. Read more
