Built-In Dash Cam, Apple CarPlay, Rearview Camera FOR LESS | Seicane better than Carpuride? 

First - AutoMotivate, thank you for your video - For those considering purchasing this unit - I've purchased one of these Seicane Dashcam/Apple Carplay units, and have installed it in my car. I would say, I have very mixed feelings. After the initial few days of playing with the unit, powering it from the cigarette lighter power, I opted to hardwire it using the provided 3A power adapter. Pretty straight forward install, and I KNOW I've installed it correctly. So here is my feedback: 1. The units feels solid to touch and the display has a good appearance and feel. I like the IDEA of this product, but it has several flaws! 1. even if you mount it sold, it still shakes while you're driving. I fixed this shaking by building a simple block on my 3D printer and stuffing it between the display and the mount from the back (so you don't see it from the front). 2. Audio pass through quality sucks! I've connected my iPhone wirelessly to the Seicane unit, and from there, there is a cable going from Seicane to my car stereo through the Aux input. Comparing the pass through quality to simple direct bluetooth connectivity to my car stereo, I would say Seicane quality is awful. I am willing to tolerate 1 and 2, but then there is 3. Every time I turn off my car, and turn it back on again, I have to do a hard power down on the Seicane unit (holding the power button at the top of the unit for a few seconds), then power up the unit!!! To me, this is the deal breaker! This brings me to 4. AWFUL tech support!!! I've reached out to Seicane, and they have responded quickly (within 24 hours), BUT the quality of support is really really really BAD! After a few emails going back and forth, they came back with requiring me to do a firmware upgrade. I have no problem with this, BUT the documentation they have provided and the video makes you laugh and cry at the same time! First of all, everything is in Chinese (at least all the important stuff). They have also provided an .mp4 video to download, which is supposed to help! The video is absolute utter rubbish! I am really disappointed with Seicane!

I've used this for 6 months now on my 2007 Toyota Camry. You are 100% right, for the money, it is insane value and the dash cam quality is actually pretty damn good if you have the 4K model like I have (some sellers also sell a 1440p model).

Will you please show how you connect the backing camera?

At this moment I can no longer recommend this headunit. I explain why in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MqFDqkEgyjc.html This is a Carpuride alternative: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iJ0lXxiUIlE.html which performs significantly better.

Love your video.. straight forward..On point..easy to understand..

Can I use a WiFi rear camera instead with this unit, while using carplay?

Love the front camera

I was thinking about getting the exact same screen, but i was wondering if the screen is bright enough to see the map in the sun? Or does the screen have an anti glare coating?

Nice video and device. But why there are flashing lines when you turn to the front camera?

Thank you for the video- Can it play youtube videos with your carplay from the phone ?

This video is about a Seicane dashcam,but the link you've put below,shows only carpuride dashcams,not any Seicane dashcams whatsoever.

I have one of these but there is a problem, every time i turn car off i lose time date and other settings... very anoying

good video, what model is your mercedes?

In NY you get a ticket for obstructing view

Hi, I bought the same model and unfortunately, the sound quality is horrible, even when plugged in with the aux connector. The other features are great but without proper sound, it's useless.

Can the rear camera be activated automatically when selecting reverse?

its great while it works, unfortunately mine only works randomly after a couple of months

Can you Bluetooth unit to car if your car has Bluetooth build in?

I just bought one for my Honda Odyssey. The car doesn’t have aux. And I’ve trying to make the audio play through my speakers through the FM transmitter. But it’s not working!! What do I do??

I bought the same. But some how it keeps shutting down when it starts recording. Does yours does that as well?

Just got one. Is the FM audio supposed to be of atrocious AM quality, or did I get a bad unit? I have a cheapo audio-only BT-FM transmitter that sounds pretty good, so I know it's not my setup.

is it still recording camera in backgroung while using other application like apple carplay?

Hi, are there any better quality units that give you Apple CarPlay like this where you can just stick it on your dashboard or something, and plug it into the aux or USB or even Bluetooth of your existing car stereo? I have a Ford with Bluetooth and aux and USB, I can control the phone side on my iPhone alright to make and receive calls hands free but it doesn’t have CarPlay and the audio integration is rubbish.

Mine stopped working after about 2 months, also annoying behaviour it volume control overlaid waze control

The adhesive WILL ruin the pristine vinyl dash of a classic that will cost a couple of grand to replace

Can you tell if it is possible to update the firmware?

That reverse camera is useless if sun is behind

Does someone have the firmware update for this and the steps?

Inside the software on the main menu, is that an white Alpine A110 car ??

if i use the fm transmitter, will i be able to use apple car play and play music through my phone to my car speakers? my 2002 toyota camry doesn’t have bluetooth or aux input

Can we use the carplay and use the dashcam at the same time without interrupting !?

10.26" 4K 2160P Video Record Car Dashcam DVR Support Wireless Carplay BT FM WiFi is this the same as yours.

Can you play videos on it?

You had mentioned on a different review with a different unit that it didn't automatically turn off when you turned off the car. Does this one automatically turn off when you turn off the car?

What is your favourite unit?

I have a 2019 Ram and the Bluetooth connection takes forever AND you have to hit a physical button on the factory screen to change from radio to Bluetooth input every time the truck starts. Does using AUX solve that issue? In other words, would the stock stereo instantly switch to aux instead of radio without any user input?

How much this device

Does it come with a windshield mount?

Im just wondering if how's the sound quality connecting the device to the player with an aux cord? cuz mine sounds like you're in a call and music is on

Can you tell me how much hiss you hear in the AUX line? I have a crappier unit and it has way too much hiss in the audio. With the unit not playing anything and the radio at normal volume (if something were playing) it's like a soft white noise coming from all my speakers. Also - can you hear any engine / alternator noise through the AUX line? A typical problem with some of these is too little shielding and isolation on the audio outputs. Thanks for this review because I'm really considering the Seicane.

Do you like this better than the Rear View Mirror? I have a long old van. Need a back up camera

totally lost me on the FM and or pandora

can it be attached/hanged by suction to the windscreen? as i dun want to stick to the dashpanel

Mercedes Benz. My Parents Favorite!

All those cables.... Just hook your phone up with agama launcher.

Is this available in the UK?

Can you stream Netflix or RU-vid?

Sounds cool but I’m not buying anything from that site

I'd get one if it wasnt for that cheap looking foot. I hate the way it looks!

You need to switch over to Android! It's much more better!

The worst installation of an aftermarket accessory that I have ever seen.

You said carful like my 4 year old nephew 😂 2:04
