Product description
After the trip I read an article about portable Car Play/Android Auto units and decided to give one a try. The article pointed out they come in traditional boxy display and low profile widescreen displays. I choose the low profile widescreen display as it wouldn't block the view as much as the taller, boxy display units.
Next is deciding where to "mount it". The unit came with an adhesive mount for the dashboard and a suction cup mount for the windshield. I tried both, the suction cup mount works stick to the windshield quite well, but I didn't like how much view it would block, so I decided dashboard mount would be best. The problem with dashboard mount is it's pretty permanent. I'm still deciding exactly where I want to put it, so all testing has been done either with the suction cup (driving) and just sitting on the dashboard (when parked in the driveway).
Note that I probably won't be a power user of this device, using every bell and whistle provided. I'll mostly use it for navigation and maybe to play music from Spotify. It also has a forward facing dash cam built-in and a wired backup camera that can be plugged in and routed (via a long attached wire) to the back of the car and easily attached to one of the license plate's screws. At this point the cameras are an extra feature that I'll eventually get around to using.
With that said, it works quite well for want I want, and the slim profile (widescreen) is exactly what I like. It's powered by a USB-C cable to a 12-volt port (the old-school cigarette lighter adapter) with includes an extra USB-A plug to connect your smartphone for charging. It's pretty quick to connect to my smartphone via Android Auto after starting the car and the screen display is nice and sharp.
The audio output can connect to your car audio system via an FM channel, bluetooth or an AUX port. I tested FM, which is acceptable, bluetooth and the AUX port, which is also very good however that's another wire coming out of the unit (power, backup camera, AUX audio). I'll stick with bluetooth.
Maybe later I will figure out other features that are available in a unit like this, but for now I'm happy with my purchase.
