I 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.

I wanted a back up camera in my 2009… I wanted a back up camera in my 2009 BMW 128i convertible. There are many units on the market, but I didn't want to modify my dashboard to install one. This monitor/back up camera was perfect for my needs. My son removed my car seats and fed the wiring from the front to the back. The camera is nearly invisible as it's installed on the Trunk Lid Lock Release Push Button Handle (for which he needed to drill a small hole.) The screen is attached to my dashboard with the included sticky patch. (I didn't want a hole drilled there.) installation took about 4 hours including putting seats back (and me taking advantage of the situation to shampoo the rugs and vacuum every square inch of interior and trunk). I've used the monitor/camera for nearly 3 months and it works perfectly every time. The front and back cameras are clear and sharp. I use Google Maps with Spotify and voice commands to control the unit, including sending dedicated text messages.

In summary I really liked this unit In summary I really liked this unit. Enjoyed it for 2 weeks until it was stollen from the car. Would I recommend buying it, certainly yes, but the Adjustable & Detachable version.

BIG LET DOWN AND FAILURE I was stoked to buy this and had high hopes it would be amazing. Forget customer support. No response to my emails. Imagine they wait out the 14 day warranty so you are stuck with it. Big let down and NO help from support. It constantly disconnects from Bluetooth. The software is not smooth and fluid like on your phone. The biggest problem!! The audio through your car speakers sounds horrible. Nothing but feedback and static, can’t enjoy any music. Tried the Aux cable and Bluetooth, FM transmitter. Either way nothing but horrible noise that can be heard through the music. Doesn’t matter Pandora, Spotify, Apple Music all get the same results. And yes I have have other Bluetooth FM transmitters that do not do this, they just don’t have a screen.

I bought this as a gift for my… I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend's upcoming birthday in October. He has a 2015 Kia Optima, but it doesn't have any sort of smart screen at all. He's wanted one so badly, in fact he's looked at other cars just to have this feature. I've considered getting a third party one installed for him, but the unit itself that we looked at was over $500, not including installation. I couldn't justify that amount, especially since we aren't sure how long he will have the vehicle. I saw an ad on instagram for a similar product and gasped because I didn't know such a thing existed! An "external" car play unit? For 1/4 the price?? What could be better! I never buy off of social media ads but this one looked trust worthy. The size was especially appealing because not only is it technically bigger, but I love how it isn't as tall. My boyfriend's dash is pretty high as it is, so this lower profile unit will be perfect to not obstruct his vision too much.
