I installed CarPlay very, very cheaply

motive

I wasn't interested in lexus carplay because it was expensive

I measured Aliexpress size because I thought it would fit roughly with my eyes, and it's almost right and the price is about 40 ~60 dollar

The air conditioner displa comes out separately, so I decided to purchase it.



Function

Looking at the features through YouTube, it's Linux-based, so booting up is very fast, about 6 seconds, compared to pure Ande. (Is pure Ande? 25 seconds?)

Mark Levinson, the pride of my car, can also use pure audio as it is (no sound drop, pure audio)

I don't have specifications, but I play YouTube music while watching the navigation, but it's hard to feel slow

When you use CarPlay, your phone might be a bit stuttering, but sometimes it's not

Battery consumption is fast, so you have to use it while charging long-distance driving.

The radio is available through the app, and the touch feels a little distant when mounted in the right place

The genuine car play is 10.26 inches, but this product is 11.3 inches, so it's a little bigger

Switching choices, such as media Bluetooth cd, displayed on the pure screen, can be viewed in the cluster.



Price and Installation

The price is very cheap, 40 ~60 dollar if you look it up. I bought the image product because it looked thin, but I think the k2 product is also good.

After purchasing it, I modified the accessory stand and mounted it on a genuine monitor on the bracket that I took out. There are a few millimeters left horizontally

There's about 7mm left in the new one. I ordered a transparent acrylic rod and spray-painted it on the back

It's pretty when it's up close

Or I think it's possible to attach the body with double-sided tape. The depth is different from side to side. (Remove the pure monitor.)



Hookah and wiring

The monitor uses a SeagerJack 5v power source, but I don't want to see the console box line, so I connected it to Hughesbox

I bought a hookah separately at a wide angle of 200 degrees, but I can't see the 140 degrees, so don't buy it

This camera uses 12v, and this is wired into a Hughesbox. The wiring is five strands

Power + - (red, black) One separate on the camera (yellow black) wiring is a reverse signal, which connects to the rear light

The camera can be installed only when the rear light is removed. I also need some diy power to put it in the right place ^^

The transition is very fast and smooth



I recommend it for those who are moderately dexterous.

I'm satisfied with the low price
