LAMTTO 9 Inch Wireless Car Stereo with Apple Carplay,Portable Touch Screen GPS Navigation for Car,Car Audio Receivers with Bluetooth,Android Auto,Airplay,AUX/FM,Screen for All Vehicles, Black

My car is from 2015 and has Bluetooth for my Android phone but that's it. I really wanted Android Auto so that I could have a display with bigger maps, play streaming music through it and have my text messages read when they were received. I watched a number of online videos and reviews of various units and this LAMTTO looked like it was the best bang for the buck, so I ordered one.Out of the box, I followed the simple instructions of turning my phone's Bluetooth and WiFi on. I had already paired my phone with the car, so I just needed to pair it with the LAMTTO unit. This went smoothly and the WiFi connection was also set up. I chose to output the sound from the unit using Bluetooth and that was it. The unit was up and running after no more than a couple of a minutes of setup.My phone is a Pixel and so I am using Android Auto. I was able to use the Google Maps app and YouTube Music. Everything works like a dream. What really impressed me is that without changing anything in the car or on the device, I am still able to use my car's microphone for phone calls and the steering wheel mounted controls that came with the car for jumping from track to track on YouTube Music work (as do the volume and mute controls). If there's anything else I need, I simply say "OK, Google" and make my request. It's worked flawlessly.I wanted to change the logo from the default sports car to the car company logo so the device looks more "stock." I contacted customer service and they walked me through the process via email. In case anyone is interested in how to do this there is a SD card reader under the sticker that has the button functions on the left side of the device. I formatted the SD card as an ExFAT device on my PC and created a 1024 x 600 72 dpi JPEG image which was saved as boot_logo.jpg on the SD card. I booted the device up without the card in the slot. After the device was powered up, I put the card in and saw a message that notified me that the boot logo had been updated. I shut the device down and removed the card. Upon the next boot, the new logo appeared and that was it. Thanks to Nancy at LAMTTO for the guidance to get this done.The only nitpicky downside I have discovered is that the even though there is an automatic switch setting between day and night mode for Google Maps, it doesn't work. Other reviewers also noted this. All things considered, this is actually a small annoyance because it's relatively simple to change the mode on the device as the need arises.All in all, I highly recommend this device if you're looking to update an older car to Android Auto without pulling the whole stereo system as so many of the Android Auto head units do. I took a look at several different size configurations of these devices and this one allowed me to see a big Google Maps area (great for my old eyes) and the unit still sits below the horizon of the front windshield. I'd recommend before buying any unit that you find out the height and width of the unit, draw it up and put the drawing in the car to see the real estate it's going to consume -- you want to be able to see your entire windshield field of view. Safety first! I am now in the process of ordering a piggyback fuse tap to wire this into my fuse box so the cigarette outlet in the center dash console isn't used and the install will look cleaner.Overall this is an awesome product and the company provides awesome customer support! I couldn't be anymore pleased.

This screen is fantastic! With only a little bit of setup it does exactly what it says it does, giving my old Corolla Android Auto compatibility so I can now enjoy my music and always have GPS available without having to touch my phone. I can also use voice commands to control everything. The many different modes also make it pretty flexible for any particular need you might have. You can use it as a speaker by itself for example.I have had a couple of times when it's bugged out a little, but honestly, it's been much more reliable than I would expect any $70 aftermarket device to be! For example, Android Auto once crashed when a passenger took a picture with my phone while it was running my GPS in an area there was no data service. It immediately reloaded but GMaps couldn't redownload the directions without data, and so I was driving blind for a little while, which was not great. But also, it's pretty reasonable that my phone had trouble playing music, relaying offline GPS directions, communicating with the screen through both BT and WiFi, and taking a picture at the same time, which is typically not something you need to do all at once. So, I chalk that one up to it being Android Auto on my phone's fault.Pro-tip: Set up a driving mode so your phone automatically turns on Bluetooth and Wifi whenever it connects to either one (this screen requires both for Android Auto) and location for GMaps. Screen could be slightly quicker at booting up and connecting, but it does so pretty reliably within 5-10s max I'd say, so more than quick enough if I turn my car on as soon as I hop in, before putting on my seatbelt or doing anything I need to before I get going.This thing is also surprisingly sturdy! The reason I know is because the Texas sun was not forgiving on the adhesive in the pivot stand where it adheres to my car's console, so I would typically come back to my car and both the screen and mount would have fallen onto my shifter and either the floor or the passenger seat. But massive props to the fact that neither the screen nor the mount have broken or even shown signs of damage after dozens of times this has happened! I'm pretty sure the pivot mount was meant to be stuck onto the glass, so that's partly my fault too. And customer service was a breeze to work with and they happily sent me a replacement mount.I think I probably fiddled with it too much at times, including removing it and hiding it whenever I was paranoidly worried about someone being incentivized by the screen to break into my car in a particular area. (Who knows! They might not realize it's cheap lol) I'm still going to slap the new mount onto the console instead of the glass, so hopefully I can find a way to take better care of it this time.

I really like this CarPlay device! It connects well, the screen is clear, and it makes using maps and music while driving so much easier. The setup was pretty straightforward, and the overall performance has been solid so far.The only downside is that it doesn’t stick as well as I expected. It tends to shift or move a bit while I’m driving, which can be a little annoying. I might try using a different adhesive or mount to keep it more secure.Despite that, I still really like it and think it’s a great value for the price. If you’re looking for a more affordable CarPlay option, this one definitely does the job!

I love my CarPlay screen. It connects to my car by FM easily and fast. It is not slow or laggy and has a fast refresh rate. The customer service is great here. They will try to fix any problem as fast as possible. They are very Nice and helpful.
