[@adamgammill9367]

Before you opened the boxes we knew you was going to choose the unit that makes you money

[@rhoelg]

is that not supposed to be obvious?

[@vietnammist2551]

Nope. Is pure AD@@rhoelg

[@brandonwilliams966]

Having audio on a dashcam is a plus.

[@castor4187]

first thing I thought of was to throw out a discount code, feels very sus

[@MrDarkeros]

It seems to me that you need to have an individual that's not sponsored by you. Review both things because you're coming off a little. What's the word or phrase? Mine is better than the case just promote yours. As people stated, you didn't even show all the functions of the other and and you kind of down talked it like it wasn't equal in which it is from what i've seen watching this video. When people watch these, they expect someone to be honest, no matter what state they have in it.

[@Blockie]

Yeah, it seemed pretty bias honestly.

[@ernestotorres8358]

Yeah definitely biased as heck

[@tastetherambo1004]

Integrity is a rare thing nowadays amongst KZbinrs

[@chrisgubicza9551]

What brand is the budget did anyone notice?Was it mentioned?

[@pspr33]

100%

[@JoshW1ck]

The cheaper one actually looks better tbh, that logo on the side of the screen looks beyond cheap and I would actually rather have it properly mounted with fasteners instead of plastic clips

[@qqq18462]

agreed

[@szampanszampon]

yeah

[@xThomasTv]

dude said "we have a nice logo" like what without the logo is way better

[@TouchBud]

I'm gonna mount mine right on the screen of the old useless navigation system i have

[@DylanClements98]

I love how literally everything is an ad these days. This isn’t a review, it’s a biased sponsorship.

[@juicythedj750]

I think having a USB C Power input is a big Plus for the cheaper unit. Angled USB C cables can be had for very little money so you can still have the cable pointing down

[@0ino.kai0]

At night time you’ll understand why the one with the side menu is better. You can adjust the screen brightness whenever you want.

[@sammy12492]

Making a big fuss over screws i say that makes it more secured. More of a static look were the ball with time and heat will start to sag. Screws are a bonus to me! And also one think to learn from the cheaper option i like the clean no logo look👌🏻

[@RaindomCeains]

plus how often would you need to change the mount anyway

[@qqq18462]

This is an amazing ad for the budget option. I was actually weary of it at first, but it looks like it's just as good for half the price 🙌🙌

[@qqq18462]

Update. I bought the budget one a few weeks ago and I'm very happy with it. Does everything any other car play does and the screen quality and touch sensitivity is actually really impressive

[@chknnugt]

I think the cheap one also records at 1440p while the expensive one only 1080p, plus the side menu is really nice because it gives you all the settings and menus you need at a touch instead of pressing a button, then going through menus.​@@qqq18462

[@penelopedoeden5548]

Thanks for letting us know how it went! I think I might pick one up too, because someone other than the guy who was paid actually liked the budget option.

[@gustavosuarez3096]

Both are worth it. It's basically similar hardware and software. When you are driving you are not looking at the cable so for some or many it is not an issue

[@Pato7640]

Stoked to see the series on the old Si. Glad to see y'all working on cars I can actually afford again.

[@Joestacemazjojo]

Subscribed just for this. My 2017 was totaled out after 6 months of experiencing CarPlay, not I got 2016 and almost returned it just for that. I’m looking 700-850 for a new system upgrade so this is sooo much more doable. Great comparison. Going with the higher end.

[@ddgiant]

Like the video and quite informative, just wish you would have also checked to see how good/bad the fm transmitter works and how phone calls work and sound.

[@audreyscott6918]

Yo cam. Thanks for the video I was thinking about this topic because I am planning on getting a ram pro master 2500 and I wanted to travel cross country. This video rocks! This was the 1st time I seen your video but I am now subscribed and will continue to watch your channel. Plus your very handsome 😅 and I can't stop looking at you anyways. Lol

[@admiralking]

Fantastic review! Thank you for your efforts.

[@marseldocaj5496]

For the models of carpuride, is there a difference between the pro verson besides the dual bluetooth or there is difference on the software also?

[@NoahNorton]

Can you do a test with multiple phones? how it handles switching phones that are controlling the car play, what happens if 2 paired phones are in the car together, if there’s a way to switch between them easily, etc.

[@heikki4919]

I am looking for a car play monitor that has a digital audio output or the ability to connect a usb-audio interface. Does such a unit exist?

[@JoseRamirez-js4gq]

How do you get them to work with your car speakers??

[@SS-uq6wv]

Not a thorough review. I have the budget option. I love that I can record in 1440p, and there is a microphone to record. You’ve downplayed the budget option by a LOT.

[@Commander_HW]

it has a mic?? nice! The mic in my car is so bad that i have to scream while making a call.

[@SS-uq6wv]

@@Commander_HW actually, I’ll need to confirm. Will check the advert listing and get back to you!

[@AugusttoMachado]

I've looked for long days and I can't find a multimedia that is as wide as these but has support for 1din or 2din. I only find these long ones in portable forms. All others appear to be 16:9

[@ymh_tw]

None of these could compete with Roadtop 2nd gen. The full lamination screen in roadtop product (and another brand called Carpod) gives you a better view experience. And the view-only mode won't mess around your Bluetooth signals. Carpuride is a brand that sells worse product.

[@joaoalves7760]

The cheaper one has a better looking box … That would make me buy the cheaper one than the expensive one just because of the box ahaha

[@tomcarter3586]

I have a 2008 Honda Civic. It does not have Bluetooth on the factory radio. I am assuming Aux will be my best option for connecting the audio to my car stereo. Is that correct? I prefer the devices with the wider screen. I’ll be honest I don’t really need a dash cam but I would want a backup camera. What devices would you recommend? Also can you make a video where you install a backup camera and show the best way to install it and hide the backup camera wire. Thanks

[@rickyaslan2794]

Im looking for the exact same thing dont care much about dash cam but want a reverse camera and i can get aux installed have no Bluetooth did you end up picking a device?

[@sendo427]

I got the carpuride w903 like the one in this video but without rev cam.I seriously love this device especially since Google maps tells you where speed cameras and speed traps are. Cuz recently I got a ticket for a speed camera that they just put near my house so I got this so that won't happen again.The only thing I don't like about the device is the mounts because my cars dashboard doesn't really allow me to mount anything to it so I always have to mount things on my windshield but I can't mount the carpuride on the windshield because the suction cup is always in the way of the camera and no matter how I put it there's always something that gets interfered, either I can't see or the suction cup gets in the way of the camera.

[@marccastlerock6997]

Nice but they have a problem... there is no backup battery. I use it on my motorbike and too often it turns off and on again due to vibrations, disconnecting the intercom... I got a buffer battery to stem the problem, but when it goes to charge too... it turns off the power for a moment.

[@pro-duct911]

Bro you need to compare stuff that got same features. Nearly half a price more? For just that camera to able to turn around? But the video quality and voice quality both are good. Then i will choose cheaper one. And i know in some unit. You able to hide those side bar in setting or leave it on.

[@Vellfire_GG]

I’m pretty sure there is an option to remove that side panel on the budget option somewhere but literally identical

[@hugoyebra2475]

The thumbnail made it look like the bezels were thinner, and that's a bummer.

[@Scotty_in_Ohio]

So it doesn't really sound like you can output from these devices to your car's stereo over Bluetooth with AA or Apple Carplay - i.e. it looked like you are just streaming from your phone AND connected to these devices not instead of your phone to stereo via Bluetooth. connecting via AUX might be the best option still it seems.

[@MahdiHassanOsman]

Yeah that's exactly what it is. I installed the cheap one yesterday and you need to make sure your phone is connected to the car bluetooth to get the sound to go through.

[@nvme4lyfe]

One thing you missed the budget on do offer audio just have to enable it

[@nicholasvoss7129]

I have a version of the cheaper one and one of my frustrations is I have to re-pair it with the screen every like 4th time I get in the car. It'll work seamlessly for the first ~3 times and then it's time to forget the device and re-do it. Is the Carpuride one better about this kind of behavior and being able to reliably sync up? My only guess is it happens because my phone is connecting BT to the screen for carplay then discons and connects to the car for audio. So maybe it's a flaw in which bluetooth handshake starts first any given time. I don't know but it's frustrating.

[@timothynash2993]

I have had a Carpuride W901 Pro for about 6 months and it has to be repaired from time to time also. I pair my iPhone with my car and the Carpuride, but it is constantly switching the audio output back and forth if you send a text or have a phone call and then go back to playing music. I've gotten used to it and can usually just adjust the car radio volume on my steering wheel controls and then it will kick back to car stereo bluetooth. iPhones dual connect on bluetooth, so connecting your phone to both is really the best setup for audio quality. I just ordered one of the cheap versions on Amazon and don't really notice any difference. I like the new cheaper one in that it is the wider/shorter version than my 4:3 Carpuride model. That is on me though, Carpuride had the widescreen version when I ordered mine.

[@yessielguzman9536]

Hope everyone is doing great lets get this bag up

[@carlos53k]

I have the carpuride and my only complaint is the phone quality. The other party says they can here themselves talk and it's annoying. I have to revert to the phone speaker or use my earphones when on a call.

[@Hammyankee]

What’s the difference between the w903 and the 103 pro?

[@dmagic1one]

It seems like they either changed the budget device now or updated the software. Newer review images of the budget one don't show the permanent menu on the left anymore. Its full screen like the more expensive one.

[@amymoser834]

What if i can’t connect to my car for Bluetooth? How do i connect to the car play then??

[@Yasilicious]

With no word you are talking about the bad touchscreen. There is a huge delay and also it is nearly impossible to zoom or navigate in maps…

[@MarquisJ]

How is the sound audio for the Carpuride?

[@Debodepew]

I have a 103 pro. It worked for six months then went out. You should forget getting any support from them. Been waiting 2 weeks to get any satisfaction or any help. That 24 month warranty is a joke

[@legalizeeatinga.s.s149]

i have a 2006 acura tsx, no bluetooth just an aux cord. will this device allow me to connect my iphone to the device and it will play my music through the speakers?

[@bobbykoller2003]

Connect your phone via Bluetooth to the device and the device to your car via aux 3.5 cable that is included.

[@lisamareeaccary5132]

That’s so good making someone’s life easier , when my 5 kids were little I didn’t have a car and I had to walk 4 of them to school then walk back and walk to kinder then walk back to pick her up then walk back to school then walk back home and everyone wondered why a had such a good body having 5 kids so good things come out of bad things 😂

[@TinoushGTR]

Is there a device that lets you call through your car speakers using bluetooth only?

[@TC-iv7dn]

I have one, the brand is a sure. It's for my w203 mercedes c class, it looks like the OEM navigation system.

[@antezvarghese5647]

could someone please explain the difference between the W903 vs the W103 pro, I tried searching around but I couldn't find an answer. I understand the W103 pro has dual Bluetooth, but then if my phone can connect to the W903 and the cars Bluetooth simultaneously then what benefit does the W103 pros dual Bluetooth really have? On a side note, I'm wanting to install in my n80 hilux which runs toyota entune 2.0, anyone tried installing this is something similar and have any feedback. - Cheers from down under

[@RedDwarff]

I think because it has camera's

[@vpattt1619]

Can you use any of these products with a car that doesn’t have Bluetooth?

[@rajmundzik2498]

Yes

[@user-bf3je3xt7w]

I would get the more expensive one, although that logo in the corner would definitely drive me crazy

[@wesleythompson451]

Same. Looks incredibly ugly. I'd have to paint it for sure.

[@user-ih6kg2ry8m]

Ngl its like he loves the carpride way more and loves it he even has a code with them he s probably getting paid for this video

[@chizhang638]

Looks phone bluetooth connected to the screen only. It means if you want to play some music from the phone while using GPS navigation, it was sticked to the cheap speaker not the cars'. My ideal is to share the Bluetooth to car and screen both. It looks no product can make it.

[@johnbenicy4807]

Hi, Great Video, thank you. One question if you don't mind -- Have you tried to run PLEX on the Carried? I need to know if I can add ANY APP I wish to the screen of my Apple Car Play, thus far, all reviews are mostly the unboxing and basic review, no one really goes into modifying the APPS, or using them to see how well they work or how responsive they are. The key App for me is PLEX for that is my MAIN MUSIC PLAYER. Thank you Cameron. - John.

[@RedDwarff]

Carpuride is better. I got one. No bugs and better camera pictures with sd card and sound with video recording. Plus you can turn the front camera and you dont get that annoying cable coming down the side when your trying to hide the wires.

[@Jp-bb4cv]

tks many!!!

[@sumeetkishore]

Can i get these in india ?

[@negkoray]

You don't think this sneaky way of advertising is bad for your channels reputation?

[@fresnomikey1]

Bro you could easily fix the cord from coming off the side

[@josebellorin3419]

Can you watch KZbin on that screen?

[@Sussymann]

is there any way to connect a backup camera?

[@SS-uq6wv]

Yes. I have the cheaper option and can do that.

​@SS-uq6wv how is the cheaper option going would you recommend how is the backup camera quality day/night

[@SS-uq6wv]

@@rickyaslan2794 I haven’t connected it yet but when I did test it, it’s actually good for what it is

Funny part is. His dash has more than enough space for both of them

[@SaultiBalldeip]

For the price diff I would go for the cheaper LYTDZ-CA

[@mitchietorres_stan]

The cheaper one is the better deal for sure

[@AllPr0Killa]

Faking product photos on your thumbnail is the secret of having longevity for a KZbin career

[@VideoCraftingHD]

is this a review or just a ad video... the "budget one" is perfect nothing wrong with it, it's actually better cause it's 100% cheaper and still has the same quality and functionality

[@sbdemanding]

The cameras look alike

[@nitro_1986]

Very nice unit -> does the unit drain car battery?

[@RaindomCeains]

yes

[@NyrixDerg]

Depends on your car. Some cars shut off the cigarette outlet when the car is turned off. It does not drain my car battery because it shuts off the power to it when the car is off

[@ultimatemanny]

Does this work on android?

[@rajmundzik2498]

Yes

[@marioayala3910]

Carpuride is trash!! 3 months and the screen went black and it would turn off

[@goldenghostgod5333]

90 dollars is a big enough different for you to call a thing a daily driver vs a budget they are both over priced.

Isnt this like the 4th video of this topic?

[@jahkyetiller493]

He said that at the beginning of the video, and he answered why.

[@portman8909]

Seems like a nuisance. Just get a budget car that supports apple carplay instead of having a second screen dangling around...

[@45gunshots71]

Carpuride looks good but to expensive.

[@sameerb8913]

So obvious you’re making the cheap device look so bad because you’re paid to say the more expensive one is better

Lol “that was not my intent” but again made the thumbnail screen bezel’s thinner then they actually are. Good click bait baby

[@moises50010]

Let me thank you and congratulate you for teaching me how to connect the screen to the Bluetooth of the car. I was gifted the one from Amazon and I was never able to figure out how to connect it (even with the instructions). You sir have saved me $300+ dollars. Thanks!!! 11:10

[@RPmotorcars]

Unfortunately either one or any other add on car play multi use screens whenever I see in any car we always considered it ghetto, best option is change radio head unit and spend the extra money and intergrate it into the dash

[@marianolopez101]

Shat is ghetto is worrying about what another person has in their car. There’s many reasons you want a screen like this. For example keeping my 1990 Toyota pickup stereo stock and having this to be able to use my phone features. Why can’t people just enjoy stuff instead of put others down.

[@KenTheKreator]

The question is do they play KZbin ?

[@Thowed-Mexican92]

That the reason I want one to just to watch KZbin while I'm parked waiting for someone or traveling

[@45gunshots71]

Best question

[@_xwtk]

What's with the photoshopped screen in the thumbnail lol

[@DrCoomer_1]

Sponsor slop

[@wesleythompson451]

Carpuride seems to make decent devices, but they always have a horribly ugly logo on the front, which is a deal breaker. If they want their brand to feel like a brand, make the logo not a word, keep it simple, and keep it out of the line of sight. A brand that people like doesn't need to tell you what it is. You just recognize the product. Get rid of the ugly word on the front. Please.

[@wesleythompson451]

I also noticed that the thumbnail got rid of the bezel and the logo, making the sponsored product look much better than it does. That's low. Didn't love that.

[@catalinstanciumarian]

From me you win a dislike button. You dont respond to peoples comment, you promote only Carpuride even if they are 90% the same chinesse products with minor differences. I dont think you ve got over 300k subscribers by selling yourself to companies just to promote their products. You should be fair even when you are paid to say some things.
