A quite nice and honest review. From what I could see, this has a very slow response and considering it is out of the box just right now we could expect this flaw heavily with the time. I was thinking creating tablet DVR or buying this kinda one. Now, of course I will build a tablet monitor instead these types. All of them has similar issues plus and minus here and there but all are quite same. Nothing address the quality like OEMs, longervity, responsiveness, etc. Thanks 👍
There are many out there that are basically reshaped/rebadged products of the same hardware. That’s why the issues repeat themselves. Very few are designed from the ground up, which is why the CarpodGo is still the best display of this type, but at a price ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-onm0iKgn958.htmlsi=dgu7fYx3vwWyNoOU
Nice review; I recently purchased the same unit and am really enjoying it! One note though; the camera physically rotates 350 degrees, not 360 degrees. I was trying to figure out why I was having a hard time getting it to rotate all the way around in one direction. Turns out it will only rotate so far in either direction.
Hi from Indonesia! Your video popped up in my feed today, and I am indeed in the market for a portable CarPlay display. You've done a great job sharing your experience about the product, thanks a lot for the video! Does the passthrough USB A on the 12v plug able to connect your iPhone to the unit directly (wired CarPlay)? I am not sure about having a wireless CarPlay for me since it's usually more laggy compared to wired, makes my phone warm more easily (I live in a tropical country), and I need to plug my phone anyway when I am in my car. Thanks you so much!
Thanks for finding my channel and for your kind comments. That’s a very good question but I think the socket is pass through power only. I remember plugging in my Android and it just powered it. They would have to do something special to do power and also data on this power cable so I highly doubt it works that way, but it’s a good idea to have. It’s best you look for displays with wired options too, sadly most are older displays.
I just got this device, and want to thank you for this in depth review. The only thing I have had issues with so far is the switching from Apple Car Play to the WIFI Camera and attempting to use the screen mirroring from iphone. It seems like I have to basically "forget" the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections each time I switch functions. I did not see you do that in the video, however, you did seem to approach each function with a fresh WiFi connection. was this your experience as well? Or am I missing a way to "easily" switch over from Apple Carplay to get my videos loaded to my Iphone.. say on the side of the road and just had an accident? thank you again for the informative video!
BT can remain connected. It’s just you have to come out of wireless CarPlay to have a connection to its WiFi module for mirroring or to access the camera via the app. It can’t do both. Turn off CarPlay at the BT settings area to disconnect and it should then allow you to do mirror and dash cam connections. Depending on your phone size, I find mirroring to this display no different to viewing on your phone screen in terms of size. And you shouldn’t need to access the dash cam as frequently on your phone where playback is just fine on the display itself.
please help me understand the following problem: if I have a bluetooth remote control with which I control my phone for various tasks (volume, music pause or other matters), and I connect that phone to a navigation with Android Auto, the bluetooth remote control will also work on navigation? Thanks in advance for the answer!
It’s possible yes. As for it working with navigation apps I’m not sure controls like play/paise etc would interact with navigation apps though 🤔 but interacting with music playing over AAuto should work fine.
There is a power button on top that will turn the display off when held down or sleep the display when pressed. Otherwise you can pull the cable out socket when you leave.
Im currently struggling to decide between the Carpuride W903, the Eonon P4 and the Lamto 9.26". My biggest priorities are android auto, a rear camera, smooth and responsive display with a good resolution and the ability to stream music via bluethooth so that I can still use my steering wheel controls for media. Any recommendation?
Hi, I am curious. Can't you just flip the screen so the camera is in the bottom instead of the top? So it could be mounted with no issues of it being blocked by anything?
Hi, I’ve purchased one of these and I’ve connected via the Bluetooth mode. Do you know if there is a way to control Siri with the voice button on a steering wheel? Also, Siri is really quiet (even though the volume is loud) and I can’t find a way to turn it up. Do you have any idea of how to fix this issue? Thanks in advance
Try turning up the volume when Siri is active. Also I don’t know if there is an option to tell Siri to work over internal speaker or the selected audio output. You can also toggle Siri by talking to it.
Im looking for one like this with a battery powered backup camera I drive the ambulance and some of them are dated with no backup camera I need to be able to take it on and off on the fly
It’s possible but it won’t be weatherproof and you’ll have to power it off a battery bank. I have a motorcycle display review coming soon for the Carpuride W702.
For this screen display? It would need some kind of ball mount like a bike phone mount and clip the screen onto it using its ball attachment. Connecting rear camera from this display usually means splicing its power cable onto a reverse light wire. Some displays don’t need this and can be viewed by selecting an option on the display.
Yes the FM was bad for me too. Was it like mine when there was any bass in music it would just fall over and sound bad? Because I’ve had this on a few displays now and wondered if it’s my setup that’s causing it somehow.
Make sure nothing else is connected to the display. Another phone or car system be it BT or WiFi. So there’s nothing else fighting for the same WiFi connection. Don’t forget that some apps will not stream content. But that’s separate to actually connecting to it via screen share
@@CarPlayLife it work in Android Auto with screen mirror. My coworker has a iPhone 11 as well but his version is 17.1.1 and it work maybe because mine is on 17.2.1
@@CarPlayLife there is a carplay/Android with the same exact specs name Lamtto for $75 cheaper but the Carpuride has the Rotatable camera while Lamtto can't rotate which should I buy?
I guess you have to ask yourself if you think having a rotatable camera is worth the extra $75. Do you need to have it facing you instead of out the window. I’ve not heard of the Lamtto brand but there’s many of rebrands of the same hardware out there. This sounds like one of those. You might want to factor in shipping costs and what custom support is like.
Nice. I wondering if you could cover how you would connect this screen to your air vents? I can’t see how you would do this with what they have provided in the box.
