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

Display Quality was poor

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.

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

Just installed this in my 2012 truck (no factory screen) and it’s a total game-changer. Why it’s awesome: • Huge 10.26” IPS touchscreen – 1600×600 resolution, super sharp and bright even in direct sunlight. • Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto connect in literally 5–7 seconds every time I start the car – no cables needed after the first Bluetooth/Wi-Fi pairing. • Touch response is snappy, zero lag when using Waze, Spotify, or Google Maps. • Suction cup + adhesive dash mount both included – I used the suction on the windshield and it hasn’t moved in 3 weeks of 100 °F+ heat. • Built-in speaker is loud enough for navigation, but I just use Bluetooth to my car speakers anyway (works perfectly). • Front + rear camera input – hooked up a cheap backup cam and now I have a full reversing camera too. Tiny notes (not really cons): • Takes about 8–10 seconds to boot up (totally normal for these units). • FM transmitter works, but Bluetooth audio sounds way better. For under $150 (sometimes way less on sale), this thing makes any old car feel modern. Picture quality, speed, and ease of use blow away every other portable unit I’ve tried. If you want wireless CarPlay/Android Auto without spending $400+, just get this one.

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.

Update: The reps from this company monitor the reviews and reached out within 2 days of the review going live. They unconditionally offered me a refund, which I've graciously accepted. I want to send them the device back, but they asked me to keep it. I'm updating this review to 5 stars only because they are good people and are trying to build their brand. I hope the next iteration of this product solves all these problems. Thank you Podofo. ----------- If you are having problems, return this thing in the returns period or else you'll be stuck with it. This device is amazing - on paper. In the real world, it does everything it's supposed to do, but it does a whole bunch of other infuriating things which make this device useless. Pros: Nice screen. Great when it works. Cons: many cons 1. Constantly disconnects. You have to remove or set all saved wifis and public wifis to not connect automatically otherwise you'll lose connection when you're driving around. Even then, it will disconnect every 30 minutes or 1 hour for unknown reasons. 2. It takes anywhere between 5 seconds or 5 minutes to reconnect, during which time, you don't have any directions. I always have to pull over or somehow unlock my phone, launch maps, type in the address to resume navigation. Total hassle. 3. The device connects with a headset and media profile. Even if you uncheck the boxes for phone call and media in it's Bluetooth properties, it will still connect and take over your phone again and again and again... It is very frustrating when it does this when I'm on a phone call. I almost always have to pull it's cord to turn it off when I take a phone call. The built in speaker and mic are also just terrible. 3. Gps is laggy on the map even when my phone is on the dash. Maps shows my location correctly, but this device sometimes thinks I'm still in the parking lot a mile away. 4. This company's support is a ridiculous waste of time. I think they want to waste your time till your They asked me to factory reset, then they sent me an IMG file to flash on the device... Their device flasher is in Mandarin and keeps throwing errors. They made me try with different SD cards but same error. I tried opening the IMG file with different flashers but none of them can show me what's in it. Podofo: if you CARE, I want to return this device.
