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.

Absolute scam Purchased this product for a Christmas present. After three months, it stopped working, and the CarPlayBox won't do anything about it because their warranty is 14 days. The website hyped the product to be all bells and whistles, but it's just a cheap device hyped up to be something that it is most definitely not. Avoid at all costs.

I've been using this product for a bit… I've been using this product for a bit over a week now, but it's made my Corolla feel more premium with CarPlayBox Addition, which is the only reason I really bought it. Hooking it up is pretty straightforward, you can use the included suction cup mount to put it on the windsheild or the dashboard mount. The power adapter allows you to connect another usb cable for your phone if you want wired CarPlay or Android Auto. In order for either to work, it uses Bluetooth to connect, there will be instructions in the package as to how it works, it's pretty simple.

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.

We 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!
