Fahren CarPlay Adapter Review: Just received the new edition of the Fahren CarPlay adapter. Pretty neat tiny little android box device.
Note: You must have a multimedia device (car/tablet ect.) which supports car play or android auto I have an older truck with a screen but not a multi media screen and it would work In my other car with media screen was up and running in no time at all
Startup - Connected cable to vehicle USB & after a few seconds the Android screen displayed - Gave me the safety warning (Don鈥檛 use while driving) & went to home screen, see pics - From there I was able to play around with the many features
Simple Setup 鈥 Pairing - Followed instructions & easily paired with my apple device, though pairing code didn鈥檛 show on media screen - Once paired was able to go in and set up my choice of internet and / or Bluetooth connectivity on the screen - Unit will even sync your contacts & favourites from your phone
Many Options: - From there I just worked through the items to play around and see what it could do - You can personalize the homepage, wallpaper etc. - You can add a memory card stocked full of your favorite music, audio books or just play off your device - You can watch video, though I don鈥檛 see doing that while driving 馃槉 - You can store document files, search YouTube, watch Netflix
What I liked: - The memory card is a nice touch for when I am driving in the mountains with no cell or radio signal - The device is very small and takes up very little space - You can connect via USB or USB C - It has tons of options if you have internet - Handles apple and android
The only thing I think could be improved - It got a little warm while using, so you will want to make sure it has airflow
