Podofo 10.26" Touchscreen Wireless Carplay Portable Car Stereo Android Auto, Car Play Navigation, Voice Control, Bluetooth/AUX/FM, Car Radio Receiver

I really liked this external CarPlay screen and it made a big difference in my daily driving. It was very convenient being able to keep up with notifications, music, and navigation directions without needing to constantly use my phone by hand. The setup was simple and the screen worked well for what I needed. It honestly made the truck feel much more modern and practical, especially for longer drives or when traveling around unfamiliar areas. The only “problem” I had is that it actually looked too good and noticeable inside the truck… good enough that someone decided to steal it after I accidentally left the vehicle unlocked. So I guess that says something about how nice it looked installed. Other than that, I was very happy with it and would definitely order another one.

Bought this unit for our old MB, as an add on to use CarPlay on. My expectations were not too high, given the price point and a past experience with another unit. I was extremely impressed with this product! The ease of installation, connectivity, screen quality, and simplicity - very straightforward. It supports CarPlay fully - used multiple apps like Maps, Spotify etc . No issues at all. (they also support Android's version, but I haven't used that). Audio with the built-in speakers is very good too. Though I have been using with Bluetooth to connect to our car stereo; setting that up was very easy too. The one thing to note is that it remembers the last one it connected to, so if you forget to disconnect, connecting to a new one takes a few steps. Not impossible, but not ideal either. If you use only one phone, not an issue at all. The base is easy to attach to, with the sticky strips very strong to hang on to the dash. Power is from the "cigarette lighter" 12V port (I think it supports batteries too, but not used that). Overall, I've been very impressed with the product. Have recommended to several friends.

Update below review: ————————————————————— I’ve found that it works for the most part of what it’s trying to accomplish, but not elegantly. The set up was alright, the settings are very sparse however so if you want to have something with more customization, go look elsewhere. The stock boot up image and sound CANNOT be changed, and it’s obnoxious. I’ve only had it about a week and it’s been starting to completely disconnect and restart out of nowhere, I use this for the maps and music ease but when the map looks like it’s stuttering to catch up it becomes distracting while driving. Spotify works well enough. I Don’t recommend this, it’s just a waste of time and money.The price point is what got me interested but it is not worth the headache of the issues I’ve had. Just get something else. ————————————————————— UPDATE: I got in touch with customer support and they were very understanding and offered to refund the order aswell as help fix some minor issues I had. I did change the rating from a 2 star to a 4 star and that’s because the customer service from the company deserves it. I hope that the product in time will reflect this dedication to their customers. I do still stand by my review however but the customer service is top notch.

Installed as a 2nd screen in my Ram 2500 truck. Really liked having the 2nd screen running android auto with google maps. The main screen on my truck remained factory so the backup camera and other functions didn`t change. The wireless android auto worked great until recently. The screen would freeze, go back to home screen, reboot, and then bring the maps back on. This became more frequent and happening every 10 minutes or so. I contacted their customer support team and the are sending me a replacement unit. Hopefully the next unit works longer as I really like this product.

Was ok when it worked. Slow to connect; can take up to 5 minutes to connect and get to car play screen. Would reboot randomly. And would turn off by itself. More of a hassle to use. I just use my phone instead. Now won’t turn on at all. Out of the return period, so I am going to through away and not reorder.

***I ONLY TESTED APPLE CARPLAY AND AIRPLAY, NOT ANDROID AUTO I got this product as a cheap alternative to the more expensive similar products in hopes it would do the job. First impressions are decent, the hardware is solid. The device is packaged solidly, and came in great condition. Screen is very nice and wide, has a clear picture. The cigarette lighter adapter was a bit larger than I hoped but not the end of the world. The plug ins to the device are hidden on the back which is a clean design choice. Now the software for the device really isn’t so bad. Connecting to Carplay the device is super quick and rather intuitive. Most people familiar with basic bluetooth connections can pair their device without checking the manual. The screen is responsive enough, with a slight delay that is noticeable but not bad enough to warrant a complaint. All the apps work just fine. AirPlay works fine too but it is definitely not as smooth as CarPlay. The picture quality is not the greatest, and the delay is much more noticeable than Carplay. Good enough to watch a video if you don’t need the best quality video. So what made me return the product? Everything seems good enough so far…. This was my deal breaker Unfortunately my old car does not have bluetooth connection, so I was unable to connect my stereo to the sound system through bluetooth. But I did test both alternatives (FM and Aux). The audio when using CarPlay is absolutely awful and unmanageable. For some reason when using CarPlay the audio quality drops drastically. It is odd because when using the systems native software the audio sounds great, and flows through the sound system great using a casette to mp3 adapter. It sounds just as good as connecting my phone directly to the mp3 adapter. However when using CarPlay the audio quality absolutely plummets. Audio quality is a non-negotiable for me and is very important to my driving experience. I tried to find alternatives like having audio coming through the iPhone rather than the device but I was unable to do so, and couldn’t find a solution. Ultimately, this made me return the product on the same day I received it. In conclusion, the product is fine generally. If you are not worried about audio quality then all other apps work just fine with this product and it is a decent alternative if you want to spend under $100 for a solution vs $250+ for competing brands. However I would find it difficult to even enjoy music in any capacity when going through Aux or FM Transmitter with this product. A podcast MAY be manageable but even then I imagine it would get annoying down the line. (maybe bluetooth is better but I could not test it). TLDR; if you are using this for Carplay, It does the job with everything except audio quality which is so terrible I ultimately returned it on the same day I received it. (Did not test out Bluetooth)

Bought this a little over a year ago still working flawlessly. Clean bright touch screen, connects to iphone easily. Only issue I had was when I changed cars I needed a new mounting tape and couldn't find one, contacted the company and they offered to send me one at no cost, that is great customer service. Would definitely buy this again.

i was really unsure if i wanted to take a chance on one of these screens since i’ve seen such mixed reviews, but so far the screen is performing well. i ordered mine last night and got it this morning, it was really easy to set up, the hardest part was hiding the wiring but that’s optional of course. i managed to completely hide the wiring except for where it plugs into the screen and it looks really good. my car already has an infotainment screen so i wasn’t sure if i really needed one of these carplay screens, but it definitely makes a huge difference. i love seeing my upcoming calendar events and accessing my spotify without going on my phone. i’ve also used siri a few times since setting it up and it’s so helpful. the screen has good image quality and is pretty responsive, it actually loads quicker than my original car screen. once i plugged it into my car i just had to bluetooth my phone to the screen and allow carplay, and i didn’t even have to bluetooth the screen to my car or anything, my audio plays just like normal. i still use my steering wheel to control volume and skip songs/etc which was important to me when looking for carplay screens. the startup screen is obnoxious and i’m not sure why there’s no option to change it, but i’m going to follow the review that said how to, should be an easy fix. the startup sound really isn’t that big of a deal, yes it’s not ideal, but this is a budget option so i’m fine with it. overall so far so good! i’ll update if anything goes wrong.

Display Quality was poor

Funciona justamente como debe funcionar el CarPlay (no uso android) , muy fácil de enlazar al iPhone , el desplazarte en las pantallas es fluido, no se atora y es fácil de configurar. El único “detalle” es q esta diseńado para usarlo con su base y pegarse al tablero del coche. Debería poder (como opción) usarse algo similar a MagSafe para no pegarse permanentemente. Así q en mi caso, quité la base y pegue un anillo de para MagSafe en la parte trasera de la pantalla y compré una base (de baso) para celular/tableta con soporte para MagSafe (imán). Así lo tengo justo donde lo quiero sin q me estorbe la visión y al estar sostenido por la base magnética lo puedo quitar o dejarlo ahí sin q se caiga la pantalla. Por eso le doy 4 estrellas y no 5. Por cierto… se puede editar la imagen de inicio
