About this deal

Though it really didn’t become commonplace until a few years later—you either had to own a fancy luxury car (a Ferrari FF to be a first adopter of CarPlay) or an owner of the 2015 Hyundai Sonata for Android Auto. Even then, it wasn’t until a few years ago that automakers started offering compatibility for both devices. Either way, you need a newer vehicle with a modern infotainment system to reap the benefits of this in-car connectivity. I then score each of their launcher software. These varied between basic dated-looking menus, with floating sub-menu buttons, to more modern designs with large functional widget panels. The video quality is exceptional, even in low-light conditions. The high-resolution footage ensures that license plates, street signs, and faces are easily identifiable, which can be crucial in case of an accident or incident. The night vision capability of the dash cam is impressive, making it equally reliable during nighttime driving.

The Law is actually unclear, but the sentiment is clear.... I for one am not going to risk the points or fine or accident for that matter. The law is changing as people were using this idea as a loop hole.... https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/company-car-tax-and-legislation/2019/08/01/driving-phone-law-loophole-high-courtWhether you have a hand-held in a mount or an in-built sat nav, the rules around driving without due care and attention still apply. Google Maps and Spotify Android apps seem to fire up and work just fine, and you can also access active apps and toggle split-screen mode from the floating button menu. The power of the 665 chip and 4GB of RAM provides smoother app switching and multitasking experiences over much lower powered AI Boxes. With less waiting time for app loading, and less jerky transitions.

Although it might look a little similar to CarlinKit’s earlier T-Box branded CarPlay AI Boxes, inside things are a little different. The Plus features an Android 11 operation system, 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM, a fast 8-core Qualcomm 6125 CPU and an Adreno 610 GPU. There is also the usual 4G LTE SIM and SD card slots for local internet and added storage of up to 128GB. In second place we have the Ottocast Picasou 2 Pro. This is a new entry AI Box that I have yet to bring my full review on this channel, but it made good sense to size it up alongside all the other AI Boxes. Thanks to its overall performance it managed to easily sneak its way into taking second place in my top 5. The first CarPlay adapter I tried, the Cplay2Air, is straightforward: You plug the Cplay2Air directly into the car’s USB-A smart port via the integrated cable. If you prefer to stream your video content you’ll need to get this adapter online. Without it, the adapter is pretty useless for running widgets and Android apps. You can choose to connect to a local Wi-Fi hotspot if your car has one, or a mobile data hotspot from your mobile phone, but using either of these methods will stop you from using wireless CarPlay or Android Auto on the AI Box. To get around this you will need to insert a SIM card with a mobile data plan into the adapter instead. That way the SIM is used for Android apps on the adapter, whilst the Wi-Fi can be used to operate wireless CarPlay and Android Auto.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)

Yes! Connect device to speakers via either provided AUX Cord🔌 or FM Transmission 📻 How to Mirror My Phone? In my test, I connected the PICASOU 2 to my Pioneer 93DAB receiver in my demo pod. Bootup time took around 26 seconds before resting on its sleek-looking main menu interface.

This is an Android 10 AI Box for factory Apple CarPlay and aftermarket systems. It features 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM, a fast Qualcomm 665 CPU and an Adreno 610 GPU. There is a dual card tray for expandable SD card storage of up to 128GB, and a 4G SIM card to provide internal internet to the dongle without the need to rely on a mobile hotspot or local Wi-Fi. Whenever it does arrive CarPlay 2.0 will have the ability to take over every screen in your car, and let you access car controls that are currently off limits. Much like Android Automotive OS, but running off your phone instead of being pre-installed on your car. If your friends and family use Android, it includes Android Auto support, too, so everybody will be able to cast content from their phones. It was the fastest AI Box to boot into the same launcher menu as its rounder brother. Yet I found it had average wireless performance in its MultiPlay app for CarPlay and Android Auto.Well, this device has found a solution to the problem as it provides you with a feature that allows you to send and receive messages, including a voice-to-text feature that will make your texting hassle-free. Netflix works fine on Apple TV, and while you're probably more used to seeing that in people's living rooms, you can take it along for the drive, too! Turn Your BMW into a Mobile Movie Theater with CarPlay MMI PRO! Family Enjoyment: With the multimedia options and phone mirroring, your family can enjoy a vast range of entertainment options on the go. I couldn’t get The Nifty Box working on any portable CarPlay display, however, it worked fine on my Alpine and the Pioneer CarPlay receivers. Once powered, The Nifty Box displayed the same initial boot animation sequence as the MMB Max before ending on the same main home screen menu. The total boot-up time took 28 seconds, which makes it the second fastest AI Box to the Picassou 2 Pro from Ottocast and 3 seconds faster than the MMB Max. Main Menu Interface The interiors of a car are already pretty compact and you don’t want to add anything that is going to make a cluster. Thankfully, MMB Multimedia Android OS Box 2.0 is also compact in size as you don’t have to struggle with a massive device in your car. The sleek and compact design ensures that you have enough room for keeping extra things in your vehicle. Product Specifications

The car is a 64 Plate CT200h Premier Pro with the Mark Levinson SD card based navigation (the first facelift) I tried a number of Bluetooth devices and peripherals, but I couldn’t connect to an ODBII device, and I was only able to get my alternative Bluetooth remote to work with it successfully, which the MMB Max could not. NiftyCity also sells a similar Bluetooth remote with an integrated keyboard, which makes it easier for browsing and text input. My ImpressionsThe Device Interface Is Improved. The HDMI Interface Is Additionally Added, Which Can Be Compatible With The HDMI Interface Of The Vehicle. At The Same Time, It Can Be Connected To A TV, Monitor, Projector, And A Mouse And Keyboard When Traveling To Fully Experience The Android 11 System On The Big Screen.
