Surprisingly Great CarPlay
I was worried this wouldn’t be as good as the built-in touchscreen with CarPlay in my last car, but I was pleasantly surprised. It works almost just as well! Setup was super easy, and the interface is very user-friendly. The touchscreen is fast and responsive, making navigation and music control effortless. The backup camera is also a great extra feature that adds even more value. Overall, a fantastic alternative to a factory-installed system.

Stop questioning and buy this!!
Like many of you on here I like to read through the reviews before even considering a product. This one seemed too good to be true (I got it with a discount for about $40). Let me be the one to tell you it is completely worth the buy. I had pretty high expectations for this CarPlay unit and thus far it has exceeded every one of them.I recently went on a vacation and had to rent a car. This car was equipped with CarPlay. I decided to give it a try and LOVED all of the features. When I returned home I immediately started searching for a portable unit I could put in my older daily driver that has no bells or whistles (except a cassette deck but you can only listen to the same Johnny Cash tape so many times).The screen is very similar to any current vehicle screen while not being too big. Installing the unit to my windshield took a total of 10 seconds and seriously it was that easy.The Bluetooth setup took a minute but I believe it was human error. Once I excited out and tried again it immediately connected to my phone (iPhone).Here are my define pros:My speakers in my truck cut in and out. This little unit has a built in speaker that is surprisingly good quality. I wouldn’t recommend using it solely for that but if you have bad speakers this is a cheap fix.The FM transmitter is good. I live in a very rural area but the unit still cut over a station I had tuned to and you could hear everything with decent quality.It is CarPlay. I thought it might be a cheap knock off and not work like CarPlay does but this thing does it all.There is absolutely no issues with responsiveness. When you scroll it scrolls. When you stop, it stops. Where you click works every time.I honestly have not seen any negatives to this. It is cheap, good quality, does what it should and is just cool.Stop questioning yourself like I did and buy this bad boy!

So far so good works well with ride share.
Purchased to add Apple Car Play to my vehicle. This is a good product so far and would give 5's but for a few things that I will mention here in my review.Pro: Easy to set up and sync with my phone & connectivity is almost instantaneous every time, works well with my iPhone XS Max. it was easy to mount using the suction cup on the glass 5 stars on the suction cup.- Visibility is great and very clear. I can easily see day or night.- Sound quality - (I myself don't use the speakers (I sync it with my car stereo). But sound is loud enough to be heard to the back of the car and is clear but not great compared to car speakers but if you don't have a radio it's nice to have.- Touchscreen is responsive. (Had issues with mount see cons)- works well with the ride share app (Lyft App is what I use).CONS:- Suction cup mounting to window (Suction cup was great, and has great grip) but the ring to tighten the ball for swivel and positioning warped in the AZ sun. Had to switch to dash mount and that worked well but again the ring to tighten for the ball socket will expand and contract and possibly warp in the sun so would encourage manufacturer to keep in mind where this is mounted and make better tightening ring. that said so far so good but time will tell.- As a result of the ring issue with the swivel ball, touching the screen proves to be a slight challenge at times since after you touch screen a few times you might have to reposition the screen tighten up the swivel ring again so it stays put since it moved while touching the screen.That said I do like the product and it has performed well so far aside from the few issues mentioned. I would buy the unit again but would need to find a work around for the mount. I will give a 4.5 out of 5 because other than the mount issue it has performed well.

Nice functionality but its aux port has bad background noise.
It’s nice to have a portable CarPlay unit in my 2014 car without it. I like that I can take it with me and use in my work vehicle when I need GPS and want to listen to MY music or podcasts. There anre a couple issues which lower my rating. One issue is sometimes the suction mount falls off my dash. Another problem is the mount isn’t super tight, so sometimes it wobbles when driving and moves slightly when you utilize the touch screen. The other problem is with the sound. When I use the aux cable there is a lot of hissing and popping. It seems to be an issue with the output. When I plug the same cable into my phone directly in my car it’s fine. So I use the FM transmitter built in (which is nice to have) because of the background noise is lessened and my car doesn’t have audio Bluetooth. For the price to add this comparability is nice.

Super product and awesome customer service
I bought this unit in January 2024. It worked perfectly straight out of the box. I was easily able to add Android Auto capability with a 7" touch screen to my 2001 car. The touch screen has the perfect sensitivity. Android Auto worked just as well as my 2023 Hyundai. The audio output options were perfect for me - mini plug or transmitting to an FM frequency. It also supports a MicroSD card to bring my own music along.I had a problem a few weeks ago where the Bluetooth would not connect. Although I contacted their support team well past the warranty period, the customer support at PodofoTech really went above and beyond to help resolve the issue.It's hard to beat a great product and excellent customer support, especially at this price!
