GBI am so happy with my purchase I am so happy with my purchase. I finally have wireless CarPlay in my car! In short, the mounting experience was 4/5 due to the way Chevy designed the Camaro dashboard with an odd angle. I ended up mounting using the suction cup to my windshield and purchased some velcro strips and attached those at the bottom of the unit so it does not fall or move and it has done a great job.

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 as 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. CarPlay Box 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 issue. Love this thing!

GBBIG 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.

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.

GBI 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.
