GBI just received this unit yesterday I just received this unit yesterday, but have had most of the day today to ty it out on the road and I have to say, I'm very pleased so far. For the very reasonable price, the unit came with a rear facing camera in addition to the two mounting options, micro SD card, gasket and custom startup logo upon request - and front camera of course. The unit seems well built and the screen, responsive, even with the factory screen film still intact. Customer service was great! They answered my questions and provided the file for the custom logo and directions for download within 30 minutes.

GBDrop shipping scam 99% sure this is a drop shipping scam. (The definition: A drop shipping scam is performed using a cheap and easily marketable product, creating advertisements that embellish the quality and capabilities of the product, and then selling the product through online stores at an inflated price.) There are TONS of units that are exactly the same as the CarPlayBox, that are much cheaper (Like, $50 to $100 cheaper) on Amazon (Search PODOFO, XGODY etc) and you'll see they have the same photos and models as CarPlayBox. Just search their product images via Google lens and you'll see the wealth of options. Basically they're a middleman, charging you extra via having a semi-fancy website. I'm annoyed I fell for it, frankly. The product is fine, but not worth what I paid. If you want to return it, you'll have to do so directly to some dodgy address in China, so good luck with that. Shipping took forever, conveniently long enough that the return window had expired. What a coincidence.

GBLet's start off by saying that for a… Let's start off by saying that for a fairly inexpensive device, this one delivers. I drive a 2008 Jeep Wrangler with a softtop year-round, so I didn't want to sink upwards of $1000 into an in-dash receiver with carplay. So these jumped out at me as an acceptable compromise. I get CarPlay, which is all I wanted, and a nice wide display. The display is crisp and clear, making the device readable at a glance while driving allowing you to focus on driving.

GBFirst off First off, this is absolutely worth the price I paid. Any cons below are all minor and I still would recommend this unit to anyone. Support was great i responding with my request for firmware and logo update. I am using the aux cable out to my system and sound is as good as anything else I have hooked up. I cannot speak to the aux cable out to my system and sound is as good as anything else I have hooked up. I cannot speak to the FM or Bluetooth connectivity to the unit from my phone has been stable and connects every time but does take a bit (but less than a minute). I am using the CarPlay feature, and it works great.

GBWe bought two of them and they are… We bought two of them and they are fantastic! They work BRILLIANTLY. We put them in a 2011 Mazda 3 and 2014 Acura ILX. They took a while to hook up because we hid wires and such. My friend did both cars and it took about seven total hours. Added pics of the finished product and some work during the process. That said, worked immediately out of the box. Newest firmware installed with Bluetooth, etc. Very professional box and presentation of the head unit. Through AUX we definitely noticed a slight hiss and did not get very loud. Through Bluetooth though - it worked so good it’s not even funny. Sounded amazing. CarPlayBox worked perfectly, dash and back up cams were flawless. Super snappy, easy to operate, voice “Hey, Siri” worked perfectly. Truly wireless CarPlay and the extra USB charging port in the charger was an amazing touch. Zero lag, zero issues. Love this thing!
