CARPURIDE 9.26 Inch Carplay Screen for Car, Compatible with Wireless/Wired Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Mirror Link - Bluetooth Audio, Navigation,Siri, FM, AUX, C92 with Backup Cam

For the longest time, I kept putting off buying something like this because I assumed the installation would be complicated and not worth the hassle. Turns out, I couldn’t have been more wrong. The setup was surprisingly easy, and within no time I had everything up and running. One of the biggest advantages is that you can keep your original car radio and speakers. When I want to play music from Spotify or my own iPhone playlist, it connects effortlessly via Bluetooth. The whole process is smooth and user-friendly. Another feature I absolutely love is the hands-free functionality. Being able to send WhatsApp messages using Siri while driving is such a relief—it makes everything safer and far more convenient. Honestly, I wish I had installed this much earlier in my car. And considering the price, there’s really no reason to hesitate. Highly recommended!

This was actually a really nice little system for my daughter’s car. We didn’t want to spend several hundred dollars for the kind that we had to take apart the whole stereo system to put it in, so this unit that sits on the dashboard fit the bill for us. We were skeptical about how well it would connect, how well it would work, how responsive it would be, etc, but I have to say we have been pleasantly surprised. She’s had it for several months now down at school, and she says it’s working very well. No complaints and seems to be a decent value for the money.

Did not stay connected. Every time I turned the car on I had to reset unit. Volume was way too low. Tested it out for a week on a trip out of state and was so frustrated with it I returned it the day we got home. For what it did, it’s way easier to just put my iPhone in the wireless charger holder and use the phone gps. If you have Siri set up you can ask “hey siri get me directions to ——“ and bingo, your on your way. “Hey siri send a text to —- and let them know my estimated arrival time “. Bottom line is if you have an older vehicle without CarPlay, don’t bother wasting your money on this. Use your smartphone the way it’s meant to be used and you’ll have the same capabilities!

Unit itself is pretty good, I think. Mounts and cameras leave a lot to be desired. I watched some review videos and they praised it as being "lag free" and "smartphone fast" and I've found that it's really not. If this is as wild an improvement in lag as everyone seems to claim, every other carplay screen must be downright unusable. The flexible sticker mount that's pictured and in all the reviews and videos about this product looks good, especially for my curvy dash... but what I actually got is a hard plastic thing instead, with, I think, much less adjustability. I think it's sticking to my dash ok from the middle, regardless of the fact that all four corners are elevated and not actually making contact with the sticker. UPDATE: not bendy, hard, plastic thing didn't last a week. I haven't permanently wired my back-up camera yet, and might not at all, because the view from it doesn't seem wide enough to capture both the vehicles behind me and the bumper. Every car I've driven with a built-in camera seems to have a wider field of view so that it's useful for knowing both what is behind you and how close you are, this seems only capable of one or the other. It looks like it would be a wide angle lens, but does not perform as one. In my sample picture, I'm almost in the parking spot, and I've angled the camera so it should be able to see both the bumper and behind me, if it were truly wide angle, but as you can see, I cannot see my bumper and I can only see just over one car-length behind me... AND that's the picture view, the actual on-screen view of this camera cuts off some of both the top and the bottom. The Android Auto works well when it works, but seems to randomly disconnect. I've not had this issue with any rental car I've connected my phone to, or anyone else's car with an android auto set up... but this screen seems to randomly disconnect while driving around. Sometimes I see an red error flash full screen on my phone, but, so far, it has been too fast for me to catch it before it reconnects to the carpuride and goes away. I read something about VPNs in my quick googling of common Android Auto problems, so I'll try turning that off, but, again, I've not had this problem with other set ups in the past. Carpuride support has suggested uninstalling and reinstalling Android Auto, though I'm not sure how this will be any better than the clearing of cache and data I already did. Will report back if it improves. Seems to disconnect every few minutes (once per song, or at least once every other song) or, if I touch my phone and cause any other activity like unlocking it.

I got this to cheaply and easily add CarPlay to an older vehicle that already had aux in. The CarPlay works remarkably well. The screen boots up and connects to my phone in under 10 seconds. It connects faster and more reliably than the CarLinkit 3.0 wired-to-wireless CarPlay adapter that I use in my other vehicle that only came with wired CarPlay. It's very responsive. The screen is a good size and I like that it's wide so it doesn't block my view too much. So far, the mounting arm has stayed glued to the dash. It does bounce a bit, but that's expected with such a large screen attached. I like that it can be angled low enough to keep the screen from blocking too much of my view. It can also extend out enough that it's easy to reach. It would be nice if the connector were magnetic so it was easier to detach and re-attach to the mounting arm. I prefer not to keep it mounted when parked so it will not be a target for thieves. I'm also hoping keeping it out of the sun will increase the longevity. The audio quality is decent. I was worried that I would need a ground loop isolator like with a cheaper Bluetooth adapter I was using before, but it works fine without one. I haven't tried the FM transmitter or the Bluetooth to car connection because my car doesn't have built-in Bluetooth. I like that this has a light sensor to auto-adjust the screen brightness. I wish there was an option to change the sensitivity, but it's just full-auto or full-manual screen brightness. The included power adapter charges my phone slowly, but it's possible to use other power adapters as long as they supply enough power. I'm taking a star off because the backup camera isn't very good. The image quality of this camera is mediocre at best. The vertical field of view is so limited that I can only see about 4 feet behind my car. This works enough that I can see the car's bumper and use it for tight parallel parking spaces in the city, but I definitely cannot backup just looking at the camera like I can with my other car. It does work fine at night. Installing the backup camera took several hours. There aren't any instructions. I was able to find some YouTube video showing how to install a similar camera on my car. An electrician friend helped me install it, and he said the narrow gauge of the wires made it very difficult to splice in to the reverse light wires. The only way to power the camera is to splice it in to the reverse lights. There is no way to manually activate the camera from the display. As soon as the camera has power, the display switches to the camera.

Update: I was having major connection issues. Would constantly disconnect and reconnect. I tried messing with so many suggested phone settings to no prevail. Ultimately I reached out to their customer service team on here and they were quick to reply and offer me instructions on how to update Android Auto on the W125S. I did exactly as I structed and it now works flawlessly. The instructions are actually on the product description page under the 'videos' category, I just didn't catch it myself. Easy to scrolly through and miss. If you have Android with Version 16...this patch is specifically to remedy the connection issues with that version. Seems to be working absolutely flawlessly at the moment. The W125S is easy to setup. I'd suggest if using the sticky mount, using a adhesive promoter to help it stick. Just look it up on Amazon and snag a small pack. 3M makes some and another brand are common on here. Pretty cheap too. Just make sure it's safe to use on your dash. The app worked absolutely flawlessly as well, which was a surprise. And you can do things like change the boot animation. That's fun! This thing just went from 1 to 6 stars. Great display too. Thanks again for the great customer service.

Having android auto for navigation and Spotify has become the norm in every vehicle I drive/own...however in a older vehicle that doesnt have it, you feel lost without that functionality. This carpuride screen has been the best purchase ive made for my wifes 2013 Infiniti G37 (non nav/touchscreen car). It's given me the android auto functionality and connectivity im used to in all modern cars, in an older car that would never have it. And for the price, it's pretty incredible to be able to add this so easily. I 100% recommend this to anyone wanting to add the modern connectivity features of a new car, to any older car!

Everything works good but the mirror link/ superlink. I have try a 100 time no luck it will mirror my phone until you start to play a movie then it goes blank. On top of that the customer service is not good they respond but don't say anything helpful. Like I emailed them just asking if someone could walk me through the process and they ask for my order # I gave it to them then they tell me they can’t find my order I did not just spend over $200 to get no customer service for this product and the not playing movies as it clearly says it does in the description. It not like I was asking for a refund i was asking for help with their product and getting it setup right. Edit: So it took about 2 weeks but customer service apologized for how their representative handle me asking for help ended up sending me a different one for free and letting me keep the first one so that is awesome haven't got to test it yet but they made me happy even though I didn't ask for a replacement they offered it which made me feel like a winner.

Excellent value

excelente aparato, tenía una pantalla china que no me daba el ancho, hacía cosas raras, no se escuchaba bien, etc. en cambio este funciona de lo lindo, por cierto muchos dices que no le puedes apagar el sonido de la bocina integrada, pero si se puede desde el menú.

easy setup with an iPhone for AppleCar Play, bluetooth to unit and FM station connection to an old 2006 Ford Radio, clear super size wide screen, screen swipe sensitivity precise and with no lag! very happy with this product, window mount bracket is super strong. I have not setup the reverse camera but will do later on.

Fonctionne parfaitement

En general es bastante buena, la resolución se ve muy bien incluso cuando le pega el sol. El sonido es bueno, inclusive en mi caso aumento la calidad de sonido y puedes ecualizarlo a tu gusto. (Yo recomiendo conectar la pantalla con el cable auxiliar). La cámara de reversa también funciona muy bien, en cuanto pones reversa la cámara se activa y se aprecia bien lo que hay detrás del carro. La conexión inalámbrica con el celular es rápida y estable. Las apps como Maps funcionan muy bien y la voz de las indicaciones se escucha muy claro y definido. El punto malo es que las llamadas se escuchan muy bajito y tienes que alzar la voz para que te escuchen. Pero por todo lo demás está perfecto, si se las recomiendo.
