A deep dive review into the Podofo wireless apple carplay / android auto screen, can it really be useable at this price?

Can this connect to a OBD2 Bluetooth transmitter? Would be nice to see live telemetry from the car.

I saw a CR-Z interior and subscribed

I didn't buy this one, but it made me aware of them and bought a different brand. Nice, easy retrofit. Thanks!

@thegadgetdude 2 месяца назад

Awesome, yeah so many options on the market now, sure beats a basic Bluetooth transmitter imo.

@mstvir 2 месяца назад

which one did you go with?

@Sakuleta2 16 дней назад

@FesterWerks Did you find a better one for less price?

@rambledogs2012 Месяц назад

Anything in the settings to switch the display to right hand drive mode seeing as we drive on the correct side of the road, of course? 🙂 EDIT - Scrolling down I see that's been answered 🙂

@chhaymatt 2 месяца назад

5:52 In the settings, there's driving position - does it let you change where the carplay homescreen button and the list of your recent apps to be on the right side?

@thegadgetdude 2 месяца назад

yes exactly this!

That's a CR-z this is everything I needed today, because that's the car I'm gonna buy

@@thegadgetdude Thanks for the like man, I have a question though. Do you know anything about actual stereo screen installs?

@y2kjon 2 месяца назад

I’ve been thinking of getting one of these, so good timing with this video. If sharing this between two people that drive the same car, can it be set up with AirPlay with more than one phone?

@thegadgetdude 2 месяца назад

Hey Jon! I think it’s just a matter of picking which to connect much like normal Bluetooth car setups, but I haven’t tried it between two phones yet so will report back when I have.

@matenagypal7322 Месяц назад

I know for CarPlay, once you plug your phone in it’s individual to you since it’s your phone, me and my partner have both had our phones in my Eonon stereo in the car and always worked a treat

@Lewis-jn1ou 2 месяца назад

does this have dual bluetooth so you can connect to it with the phone then out go the sound while it connects to th car?

@Leonvolt28 15 дней назад

I don't have this exact unit but it's similar and the bluetooth option outputs the sound to the phone speaker. The phone can then be connected via bluetooth to the car radio in the standard way. The biggest advantage with this is that you can use your radio and steering wheel controls.

@adresc5391 4 дня назад

So then you hook up the car plate to your stereo with 3.5 mm cable and then you hook up the phone to the carpet with Bluetooth correct

@kubamichalek 2 месяца назад

Thats an interesting device. I am concerned though, that when it heats up it will slow down. Is there a better performing device? I.e. where the lag of swiping is not noticable.

@thegadgetdude 2 месяца назад

I've taken it on long drives no issues with overheating although it's not super hot in the UK yet. Haven't tried any other devices yet but if I do I will likely review.

@kenjude1 Месяц назад

Carpodgo TP3 Pro which I have is much smoother swiping. But it’s a lot more money. You pay your money and take your pick. But realistically, how often do you really need to swipe?

@rudyveloz1180 2 месяца назад

Does it have to be plugged in, or does it have an internal battery as well?

@thegadgetdude 2 месяца назад

You need to have it plugged in, it then turns on as soon as you apply power

@mk.c63 Месяц назад

Assuming the unit is connected to the car via Bluetooth, can we use the media controls on the steering wheel to skip tracks while in CarPlay?

@moatasemmohyie7168 Месяц назад

I had the same question

@letssaylalala Месяц назад

I actually bought a similar one, the unit doesn’t actually connect to the car’s bluetooth while in Carplay. Your phone connects to both the unit AND your car simultaneously, and so the steering switch works like normal. I like it so far.

@moatasemmohyie7168 Месяц назад

@@letssaylalala did you buy it from amazon or aliexpress?

@obliviousrally6639 21 день назад

how did it go so far? pretty stable? found my disconnecting quite often when driving. Also notice the google map was laggy.

@thegadgetdude 19 дней назад

It’s been fine to be honest still have it in the car, even with recent hot weather it didn’t overheat. I’ve been sent a more expensive android based one to review and I still prefer this cheaper one!

@charles-tw1hi 11 дней назад

This is a decent alternative to a headunit. The mounting system is not great at all, would not stick to my dash and stay. The bluetooth connection in my nissan is great.

@thegadgetdude 8 дней назад

Yeah I’ve ended up hard mounted with a bolt through the little glovebox door on the top of my dash. You can find similar model with a window suction mount but dash mounts look a bit smarter usually imo.

@m4st3rm1nd9 29 дней назад

Try with your phone in landscape mode, then mirroring would make sense to you.

Weirdly it didn’t auto rotate!

Can you change the Bugatti screen

@FateSoulzZ Месяц назад

Don't know about apple carplay, but using android auto with a carplay screen like this drains the hell out of my android smartphone/s battery. Was android auto worth it? yeah. But my phone gets toasty like an oven and the battery drains like hell. Feeling some regrets? kinda. Did some googling and apparently wireless android auto eats up alot of battery and heats up the phone. I wonder if the screen supports wired android auto

@thegadgetdude 19 дней назад

Unfortunately I think these are only wireless displays as the connection screen only ever shows wireless options. Interesting to know about android autos battery drain!

@barriemoorcroft534 18 дней назад

just use an old ipad. Bluetooth to connect to the car audio, if a cable isnt an option. Ipad will be instantly on, fast, etc.

@thegadgetdude 8 дней назад

Only issue with old iPads is the awkward square size and lack of a mobile connection unless you got a 3G model, but then you need a separate sim, and tethering to your phone is a bit of a hassle. Interesting idea though!

@ovidiumoc.3904 Месяц назад

This screen should be able to be mounted higher on the windscreen, upside down and the dash camera on a wire that u can put still higher on the windscreen, in the center of the windscreen. It has nice features overall !!! That pic of a Bugatti i hope u can remove !!!

@thegadgetdude 19 дней назад

There are mirror versions of this CarPlay screen that go over your mirror. I haven’t found a way to get rid of the Bugatti 🤣

@You-3ef Месяц назад

50$ is not correct !!! GERMANY by Alixpress 75 Euro and Amazone without back camera costs 90 Euro☹☹

Ah that’s a bit more than I paid, I think it can vary depending on AliExpress sales/discount and tax.

@mongo2044 28 дней назад

As usual, these dash mount things are a big joke. Especially when Aliexpress is involved. I found it, after much effort and a confusing mess (Aliexpress never changes), for USA. But, sold out at Aliexpress. No surprise. This is classic bait and switch. Amazon USA charges considerably more with no front camera. My advice to you sir is to stop reviewing this Chinese bait and switch junk only found on Aliexpress. You will just loose subscribers.
