Carpuride W903 9.3" Wireless Carplay & Android Auto with Dash Cam

If you wanted Apple CarPlay or android auto for your car, this is it. I got quotes from shops to get a unit like this but installed into my dashboard as a new stereo for around $600 and this is so much cheaper and does the same thing the shops were advertising and more, like the auto dimming display. And the added plus of not tearing up my dashboard. Major positives: It’s slim so it doesn’t block my view of the road and doesn’t stand out compared to the rest of my car. The set up process was easy and only took 7 minutes, the longest part of the setup process was figuring out how to snake the cord in a way to make it out of the way. The cord is long and can easily reach the charger in my car, I used cord organizers to help keep the cord neat and tight to reduce it jiggling around. The display itself is bright so easy to see in the day and it dims automatically when it gets dark as to not blind you. The startup process is quick, starts when the ignition is turned on and only takes maybe 10 seconds to automate activate Apple CarPlay. The device also turns off when the ignition is off so there’s no risk of it draining your car battery if it’s left plugged in. Downsides: The dash-cam isn’t useful to me but it’s not the fault of the device. If you actually want to use the dash-cam to its fullest potential you’ll need to put the entire device up high so the camera can see the road ahead. When it’s sitting on your dashboard like how I have mine, its view is pretty limited. Along with the camera field of view, it can’t see very far to the left or right. The screen when ant its darkest setting is just a little too bright, but it’s not terrible enough to irritate my eyes personally, but if you have a stigmatism or are hypersensitive to light, it may be slight to mildly irritating. All in all 10/10 and I’d recommend it to anyone who needs Apple CarPlay/android auto, even cars who don’t have Bluetooth, the aux cord option solves that issue immediately. Get off the fence and buy it! You’ll love it.

I bought this so I could add CarPlay to Ram 1500 2017. When I got it, I plugged it into the truck to make sure it worked. I paired it to my phone, which was incredibly easy. When I knew it worked, I took some of the dash of the truck apart, put a hole in the bottom of the storage compartment near the 12 V socket so I could run the wires up Behind the screen of the truck out of the top and from there, I made a small plastic flat surface to be able to mount the Carpuride on. I can’t stand wires loosely, hanging all over the place and getting in the way, that’s why I chose to route the wires beneath the console and up behind the radio. When it was all done, the Carpuride was mounted nicely with the mount that was included in the box. From the driver seat and the passenger seat the screen looks like it was meant to be there. It up immediately when the truck is started and the phone pairs With the truck in under 15 seconds. If you have been playing music when you last turned your vehicle off, it will start playing that music when you get back in. I am extremely satisfied with this unit. It’s very responsive. And as a bonus, it has a button on the top to turn the screen off if you don’t wanna look at it at night. Also, it has screen dimming so if you wanna leave it on all the time, it will dim down to one percent brightness or up to 100% brightness, depending on the situation. Carpuride customer service is excellent. I emailed them about making a custom boot screen so that it would say ram 1500. When I started the car they immediately sent me back the instructions on how to do this. I will post a follow up video of what it looks like when it’s all done. One other thing, it also has a built-in dash cam if that’s something you’re interested in. I have absolutely no interest in using a dash cam but it automatically starts recording the minute it boots up so it’s there if you need it. Highly recommended

This company CLAIMS this device is "dual Bluetooth" IT IS NOT "Dual Bluetooth". If your vehicle has Bluetooth it will control your phone while the PHONE is connected to the car, but this device DOES NOT connect to the car with Bluetooth. That not withstanding. It seems to work REASONABLY well. 5 stars well? Hardly. If this device was cheaper I would be giving it 4 or 5 stars. But for what it is it's quite a bit too expensive. Again this is all hinged on that the unit itself DOES NOT use Bluetooth to get audio to your BT equipped OEM car stereo. If the mfgr knows of something I am doing wrong or can do differently I am all ears and more than willing to edit and upgrade this review of the product. Otherwise it's on the verge of being sent back as I am pretty disappointed Update after owning, finishing complete install including rear camera, and getting more understanding on how the device works and how best to put it to use. Updated to 4 stars. I do still believe calling it "dual bluetooth" it is not. Though I now understand why this is not possible. Now that being said, the cameras operate incredibly well. Crystal clear video. Rear camera is WAY WAY better than the stock camera in my older Toyota, Was able to hardwire this and install it in a way that makes it look like "factory". Thanks to ability to stream operation and signal through wirelessly no need for me to have AUX hooked up. One gripe here. Why so stingy with cable from backup camera. Impossible to have it reach from rear of a larger mid size SUV (Highlander) up to the front. Had to buy 10' extender so it could all be routed neatly and hidden. So it went from being almost returned to now having me highly recommend it. Also the camera is VERY fragile. While placing a baby seat in back of the car I "bumped it lightly" and it broke. So luckily I found a replacement for it. But it's fragility was quite disappointing. In any case I had tried a unit prior that I actually liked better save for one flaw. It could not connect tot he car wirelessly so back it went. Bottom line this is a relatively easy and effective way to add modern functionality to an older car. Without the expense of putting in an entire head unit. Especially if your car has bluetooth but with limited functionality. Buy it you will like it

Can't say enough about this! Every person should have a dash cam. I have bought two for myself, AND gifted one for a friend. Another friend asked for recommendations and got this too. It gets all the angles, and you can use it with your phone. That way you are safe with the views and usage for when you need GPS. So easy to use, just install it and plug in to your charging port in the car. Screen big enough to see the map, but not too big where it blocks your view driving. The brightness can be changed based on what you need, and I like my screen bright depending on the time of day. I can not say enough about how much I love all the functions that it gives me AND not have to worry about people driving into me.

Alright, so I've been using this thing for a couple of weekends now while doing my Amazon Flex gig, and here's the lowdown. It mostly gets the job done when I pair it up with Android Auto to help me get around. Making calls works alright, but heads up - you gotta punch in numbers on the unit itself, not on your phone. Tried to shoot off a quick text with the auto-reply but it just didn't send. The reverse camera was all flip-flopped at first, showing stuff in reverse, but I fixed it in the settings and now it's peachy. The front camera's pretty good too. The part that gets my goat, though, is the screen mirroring—it's pretty much a bust. It was a big reason I got this unit since I like to catch up on the news on my Google TV during my lunch break in the car. But man, it's a no-go. You can see your phone fine when it's upright, but flip it to landscape for full screen and bam, the screen goes dark. YouTube's the only thing that works right. For the rest, like I said, just a black screen. I'm not super thrilled about how this thing hooks up to the mount—it makes sense, but it's not for me. I need to snap it on and off fast, so I rigged up a quick fix by tweaking one of the brackets and sticking a metal plate on there. Now, I've got this setup down to an art form—plug it in, pop it on the dash, and no messing with brackets or anything. Sometimes the Bluetooth acts up, which is probably 'cause I walk away too far when I'm dropping off packages. Doesn't always happen, but when it does, it's a bit of a pain to get it paired up again.

I wanted to install CarPlay in my 2016 Honda CRV Touring and did not want to through the hassle of replacing the OEM head unit, so I picked this up since I have always heard good reviews about this brand. Install was painless and took less than 5 minutes. It has a slick and more low-key profile so it doesn’t stand out too much. It was super easy to pair my phone via Bluetooth and get CarPlay up and running. It takes less than 20 seconds to boot up and start CarPlay after my car is started. The screen is good quality and responsive to touch or when running apps. Additionally, the brightness is plenty enough to see in direct sunlight and I enjoy that it can auto-adjust based on the amount of light. It also has a dash camera built in that I personally won’t utilize, but I appreciate how I can adjust it so it’s not in my way. Overall, I am really satisfied with this product and recommend it. It is a really good value for the price and an easy way to modernize any car.

Bottom line - do not buy this set up with the backup camera !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even AI says it is bad !!! Carpuride W903 - has a horrible back up camera and the company has absolutely NO support. Update - the backup camera is so bad that you cannot even see a car behind you. the display is great, the front camera is crystal clear, but the backup camera is so poor of an image it should not even be sold !!! Update - takes days to get customer support from email as no other way for support - now they want me to do a recording and sent it to them - I paid to wire the thing in and hide the wires - or i would rip it out and send back asked for a better camera but they will not answer that - AI say they have better cameras but this unit has a very bad quality backup camera - again, support is no help!!!!! do not buy this Purchased this set up with the backup camera. I paid to have it all installed. From experience I quickly realized the back up camera is horrible quality!!!! Not just bad but horrible! It will not connect blue tooth with my iphone and there is only email support which trakes days and days to get an answer then it is what is the serial number model number and amazon receipt number. send all that and wait more days. I am very high tech and no way to connect the Carpuride with an iphone via blue tooth. it is connect wifi so everying works except the quality of the back up camera. here is what ChatGPT said about it: Straight talk (based on your situation) Your Carpuride screen is fine (and it is) The factory camera is the weak link A $40–$60 camera upgrade = night and day difference Ya, wished I had checked with AI first - now it is all wired in and i have to get a new camera, long wire and pay someone to install it again. Fun, fun

As long as it's working it does great, thus I can't give it just one star. That said, it's completely unreliable. Android auto crashes almost constantly, causing confusion and distraction while driving. Even the crashes are unreliable, as there's no way to guess how frequently it will crash. I would say it has never run for more than 30 minutes without failing though, and at worst it has failed a few times after just 2 or 3 minutes. The worst part is that you can never guess how long it will stop working either. Sometimes it's about a minute, sometimes it's about 5, and sometimes you have to turn the whole thing off and back on to get your AA/maps to come back up. I'd like to think that there's a firmware update that fixes this, as the issue seems to be a common search on Google, but there is no way to update the firmware that I can find on this model. Suggestions are basically to factory reset it, which doesn't do anything after 3 different tries. All in all: It connects perfectly as soon as you start the car. If it was reliable it would be worth every penny and then some. Audio and screen quality are exactly what you would hope for. I cannot recommend it as it is, quite simply, extremely frustrating and poses more of a distraction when navigating than an assistance.

5 estrellas, mi esposa tiene un se tira 2017 y está muy feliz parece carro del año, tiene su CarPlay que funciona perfecto la pantalla tiene muy buena sensibilidad y el micrófono funciona muy bien para Siri incluso escuchando música fuerte, lo que más me sorprendió fue que las cámaras están grabando todo el tiempo!! Si algún día tiene algun percance tenemos pruebas y se distinguen placas a la perfección, excelente compra

Très belle ecran lumineux et très claire ! Avec très bon tactile, très fluide et caméra filme vraiment super bien La seule chose négative est le micro qui est trop faible pour les appels, les gens entendent mal Donc dans les réglages il est mieux de ne pas sélectionner pour les appels et de laisser connecté a la voiture mais pour le reste il est vraiment top, google maps et Waze !

De prijs-kwaliteitverhouding is uitstekend, gezien de uitgebreide accessoires. De achteruitrijcamera is momenteel niet aangesloten, aangezien dit enige tijd en expertise vereist. Mijn Samsung Galaxy S23+ functioneert probleemloos in combinatie met het apparaat. Onlangs heb ik een update van het apparaat willen uitvoeren en contact opgenomen met [email protected]. De ondersteuning was uitstekend, met name gezien mijn gebruik van een Mac in plaats van Windows. Na het ontvangen van een downloadbestand dat specifiek voor Windows bleek te zijn, en na mijn melding hiervan, werd er direct een SD-kaart toegestuurd zonder bijkomende kosten. Daarnaast is er een nieuwe zuignap kosteloos verzonden, nadat de originele niet meer naar behoren functioneerde. Het pakket werd binnen anderhalve week geleverd, inclusief track & trace informatie. De verzending verliep via DHL. Deze positieve ervaring wil ik graag delen, gezien de uitzonderlijke service en klantgerichtheid die ik heb ervaren!

Habe einige Android Auto Displays probiert aber dieses ist bisher das beste. Habe es nun 3 Wochen im Urlaub mit dem Wohnmobil gestestet und bin (nach Hilfe durch den Support) super zufrieden. Gegenüber dem eher viereckigen 7 Zoll Display was wir vorher hatten ist dieses wesentlich besser fürs Sichtfeld im Fahrzeug bei gleichzeitig größerem Display. Bild ist gestochen scharf, Helligkeit (automatisch geregelt) auch bei Sonnenschein gut. Einzig das Display könnte etwas mehr entspiegelt sein. Es reagiert wesentlich schneller als das alte und ist gut und flüssig zu bedienen. Außerdem startet das Gerät in wenigen Sekunden. Bei unserem alten musste man schon mal 20-30 Sekunden mit dem Ausparken warten bis es hochgefahren und die Rückfahrkamera ready war. Also erstes getestetes Gerät behält dieses auch die Uhrzeit. Dies ist vor allem für die Dashcam Aufnahmen entscheidend. Beim alten mussten man nach nur einem Tag mühselig die Uhrzeit neu einstellen. Die Dashcam ist hier in der Höhe zu verstellen was ebenfalls top ist bei der Anbringung im Wohnmobil. Nach circa 3 Tagen Fahrzeit zeigte sich allerdings ein Problem: Das Gerät fing an circa alle 30 Sekunden neu zu booten. Nach erneutem Formatieren der Micro SD-Karte war das Problem allerdings erstmal weg. Habe den Support kontaktiert und diese haben mir dann sehr schnell ein neues Firmware Update zur Verfügung gestellt. Kommunikation mit dem Support war vorbildlich, schnell und in Deutsch. Das Update sollte das Problem generell lösen. Ich hab dieses sofort installiert und für den Rest des dreiwöchigen Urlaubs ist das Problem auch nicht wieder aufgetreten. Ein Überhitzungsproblem habe ich auch niucht festgestellt. Allerdings habe ich sowohl Videoaufnahme als auch Kameraauflösung auf den gleichen Wert (bei mir 720p) eingestellt. Bei unterschiedlichen Einstellungen muss das Gerät ja eventuell umständlich konvertieren vor dem Abspeichern was die Auslastung und damit die Temperatur in die Höhe treibt. Hinweis: viele Nutzer beklagen sich bei vielen Android Auto Geräten über ein aktuelles Problem das die Verbindung über Android Auto abbricht und dann nach einiger Zeit wieder aufgebaut wird. Das ist ein Google Problem das mit den letzten Updates von Android Auto und Android 16 auftritt ! Trotzdem hat der Hersteller (und einige andere vergleichbare) hier einen Fix (s. Beschreibung zur EveLink App im Video) entwickelt. Traurig für Google das sie es nicht schaffen hier schnell einen Fix für den selbst verursachten Fehler bereit zu stellen. Habe nicht alles Funktionen (wie Fm-Transmitter, "SuperLink" etc.) getestet aber insgsesamt von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung für dieses Gerät um auch ältere Fahrzeuge etwas "smarter" zu machen.

Mega excelente producto además que dan un excelente servicio A salido muy buena la pantalla.
