Customer Review
- Reviewed in Canada on May 21, 2025I've been using this for about a month now and I really like it! The wireless Carplay and Android Auto functions work as expected with minimal lag and rare dropoff (I've experienced more random dropoff in my work vehicle with factory integrated Android Auto). The sound is clear and touch controls work as expected while the centerpiece of this device is the Netflix and YouTube integration. I have been using this with no issues on my stock 2017 Ford Mustang headunit as well as an aftermarket Alpine ILX-W650 headunit in my commuter car.
Wireless Carplay/AA:
First off, this unit overall utilizes an Apple Carplay emulator, so to get it to work you have to boot it up through carplay, but the software uses an Android operating system, so when you open it with wired Carplay it'll display "Android" (confused yet?). Once the OS is booted the main menu is easy to navigate and the instructions are clear on how to pair your phone using Bluetooth. Once paired you can select Carplay or AA (depending on the phone) and it'll display as it would for whatever interface it is. The response lag on screen presses is minimal and about the same as factory wireless, sound quality is great and all the features work as expected. The only downside is the Bluetooth only audio, which I will get to later in the review.
Video Entertainment:
The unit comes with a mobile version of Netflix, YouTube Tik Tok lite and others I am not too familiar with. They need an internet connection to work, so you'll have to hotspot your phone, or you can download movies. There is about 6gb of internal storage as well as a USB-A slot to expand using a USB stick. If you download movies/shows from Netflix into internal or external storage you don't need an internet connection, however you will need the initial connection to download them. Formatting and switching to external storage was easy and intuitive in the setup menu and downloaded shows have been playing with no issues. I was using a firestick adapter before, which required a hotspot as it had no internal storage and it required a second plug for power, this is much more convenient. You cannot download any other apps unfortunately.
Cons:
-I found that with my phone if it was connected to the Bluetooth and I had Netflix going unlocking my phone at any point would switch the audio to Bluetooth music from my phone and kill the Netflix audio, which was annoying. It took a while to change some settings to help prevent this, but it still happens occasionally.
-the audio quality for phonecalls in Bluetooth mode is poor, but works fine when I'm using the Android Auto app, which is strange, but I cannot seem to fix it, so calls should be done through the head unit BT, the AA or Carplay integrated apps and not the BT function on this unit.
-there is no ability to add other apps like Disney+ or Prime video like you can on a firestick adapter.
Overall this is a good adapter with lots of functionality at a fair price.
