Capapro 7" HD Portable Carplay Wireless Touch Screen Double Din Car Stereo Compatible Apple Carplay and Android Auto with GPS Navigation, Voice Control, Mirror Link, Bluetooth

I wanted a dash-attached screen in my car for navigating with my phone apps, and this was a great way to get that. I went to a big box electronics store to get an estimate for installing a carplay-compatible head unit in my vehicle and it would have cost at least $700 or more. So, getting all of these features for about $40+ is a bargain. I've been using it for close to a year and have had no problems. I didn't want to stick an adhesive mount to my dash so I purchased a DVD-slot mount separately and this unit mounts directly to that using the same 4-prong mount on the back of the unit. by far the biggest challenge was mounting and connecting the rear camera. I had to fashion a small metal plate that attaches to the license plate screws, and I had to strip and tap into a reverse light power to send power to the reverse camera, but now the reverse view turns on when I go into reverse, and I love having that too. I have a pickup and the tailgate limited my rear camera mounting options, but if you have a car you'll have more mounting options and probably easier access to accessing power and routing your wire to the head unit. But, if you don't care about installing the rear camera, you can have this thing mounted to your dash and ready to use in just a few minutes. I have the unit powered with the accessory power plug that came with it and I used twist ties to organize the power cable, the 3.5mm aux output and the rear camera cable as best I could. If you are a stickler for not having a bunch of wires hanging on your dash you might invest some effort into cable organizing.

It worked fairly well for about 30 days and then decided to not. The initial setup wasn't too difficult, it paired with my phone easily the first time. The mount was more of a pain, trying to get the device to lock into the mount was hard. I had to really shove it in to get it to stay on, it kept falling off the mount. The real issue I'm having with it is that it wont stay connected to the bluetooth. I've had it drop mid drive so many times and it's dangerous trying to reconnect it while I'm on the road. I've had to choose between going without the directions I was using or pulling off to the side to fiddle with it. There are also times when the delay between my phone and the device is so much that it will skip around what I'm listening to. I usually have to pause it and wait for the car play to catch up or I have to turn off and on my bluetooth to reset it. This all started AFTER the 30 day return period so I'm basically stuck with it. I've reached out to their customer service about the issue but I haven't heard back yet. I'm probably going to just write it off as a loss and invest in a better unit. So disappointing and frustrating

Had a little trouble with the silicone mounting at first (let it sit there until it dries onto the dash) sound quality is pretty good if you’re using the FM transmitter mode, easy installation. Screen is slow at first, should go away after using for 5 minutes.

So, i love this CarPlay screen. When I bought it I expected it to barely work. But it’s pretty seamless, the window mount especially is really good, the joints could be a little refined and the joint screws too, but once they are tight they hold. The only issues I’m finding with this product is in the day time the screen is really reflective and I can barely see it, I’m going to see if I can get a non reflective film to put on the screen to help with that, the sd card port is a little funky, but it works. The screen mirroring is something I was looking forward to but unfortunately no matter how hard I try I can’t get it to work. But it’s not a big deal because to me the overall functionality and smoothness of the unit overall is really good. The back up cam was about as I expected. Functional, but don’t expect 1080. Expect just enough to back into a spot. You can also have the cam activated while your driving forward kinda like a rear view mirror which is something I really like. I specifically use it when I’m considering brake checking someone 🤭

I recently purchased this wireless portable CarPlay car stereo for my 2008 Mercedes-Benz C300, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Easy Installation & Seamless Connectivity Right out of the box, the setup was straightforward. Connecting it to my car was effortless, and within minutes, I had wireless CarPlay running smoothly. The interface is responsive, intuitive, and lag-free, making my driving experience much more enjoyable. Backup Camera: The Best Addition! While the stereo installation was a breeze, the backup camera setup took a little longer. Since my Mercedes isn’t the easiest to disassemble, running the wiring inside was a challenge. However, after watching a few YouTube videos, I figured it out. The effort was absolutely worth it! Once connected to the reverse light, the backup camera worked flawlessly. I’ve wanted this feature for so long, and at one point, I even considered selling my car just because it lacked a backup camera. This single device has saved me thousands of dollars, allowing me to keep my beloved car while upgrading its functionality. Final Verdict If you own an older model car without CarPlay or a backup camera, this is a must-have upgrade. It’s an affordable solution that brings modern features to your car without expensive modifications. Highly recommend it!

I bought this primarily because the backup camera on my daughter's old junker car went out. This seemed to be the cheapest option to replace it. Pros: It was easy to install the main unit. Just plug it in and turn it on. And the backup camera works reasonably well. For that alone, I am happy that I purchased this. I also keep it on a GPS map any time I'm not in reverse, which is handy. Cons-1: Installation of the backup camera was fairly time consuming. Even with having the necessary tools and know-how to install it, it still took me close to an hour -- and that wasn't tucking all the wires in and making it super neat. You do need to have some a basic non-contact voltage meter, or some other testing probe to determine what is the proper wire going to your reverse lights is. Then you have to be comfortable with actually tapping into that wire to power the backup camera. Definitely not a quick and easy installation if you aren't comfortable working with wiring and don't have some way to test the wires. Cons-2: As far as the main unit, while getting it to connect to your Android phone with Bluetooth is fairly straight forward, getting it to fully mirror your phone is a pain. You have to download an app on your phone and then set up a mobile hotspot on your phone. My anti-virus was popping up all sorts of warning messages about how dangerous this was. I finally decided I didn't need full mirroring for what I needed the unit for. Also, you can't have your VPN connected on your phone, or the Bluetooth will not connect, and you will get an error code on your phone. I do like the backup camera. It works reasonably well and does the job. I doubt you are going to find a much cheaper option. But don't expect this to be like a high-end unit for any other purpose.

I read many negative reviews about this product that had me concerned.. but as i began installing everything I realized this is actually a decent product, especially for this price. For roughly $40 you get Apple CarPlay, and a backup camera. Apple CarPlay worked flawlessly, and in my old truck the only option I had was to transmit through FM and the audio was very clear. I haven’t noticed any screen lag with the device, and when I press a button on the screen there isn’t any delay. The backup camera is not HD by any means, but it is clear and works better than expected. I wired mine up to one of the reverse lights and every time I go in reverse the camera kicks on. The music stops while the backup camera is activated, but that isn’t the end of the world. I kind of like that as a safety feature. If you had read negative reviews and you are in the fence, I say go for it. This is worth every penny!!

This is an affordable option for equipping your older model car with Carplay or Android Auto. I have an iPhone and I had zero issues setting this up and pairing it to my phone and my car. I was not able to make the FM radio connection work but I think I just needed to find a better channel to tune. I don't intend to use that connection method anyway so I didn't work at it very long. The bluetooth/WiFi connection worked smoothly. There were zero issues in setting it up, and it seems to have a sensitive touchscreen without any particular lag that I could see. There are several options for displaying information. I have not yet decided on how to mount it (windshield or dash). Other reviews complain about the adhesive not being very good, but I have not tried it yet. Thinking about using an alternative mechanical mount that doesn't require adhesive, but I have not locked that in yet. Overall, for the price I have no problems - it works as advertised and I expect to use it well. It comes with a backup camera, which I don't need but which I may try to adapt as a dashcam - not sure that will actually work. A 3.5mm aux cable is supplied for an alternative audio connection, but I could not get it to work. It powers through a connection to what used to be a cigarette lighter but which is normally just a power plug now. One thing that was irksome was that the power cable is not detachable from the plug. I have a plug with two USB ports and I plan to use one to power the unit and the other to power the phone charger. But I will just have to supply an alternate cable with USB-A on one end and USB-C on the other. Otherwise I have no complaints, and I think for the price this is an easy and affordable way get Carplay or Android Auto into your older vehicle. NOTE: as others have pointed out the mounting system they supply with the product is an absolute disaster. The adhesive is weak. In particular, the dash mount hardware requires an absolutely flat surface on which to mount. Few dashes are actually flat and any curvature of the mounting surface will prevent the base from mounting well to the dash. I am searching for an alternative way to mount the unit.

This is easy to install and I managed to get into use within 5 minutes.

Very good, clear, no lag, price is good

My display not working

It's not the best it's pretty laggy and the reflection is high and when u reverse u have to pres the camera to see its won't do it automatically and installing it is very hard
