Great example again of a car stereo related product. I did think of buying one of these but haven't got round to it yet. I did manage to get a Ugar UX1 android head unit and I am very pleased with it for the price. It is better slightly than the Dasaita head unit I have too. It has a smoother screen movement and a better quality screen. The Vivid OS works really well with it. Just my opinion of course though.

i just dont get it, every youtuber on here which is showing this stuff and every time they demo how this work, every single of them has no SIM card in there phones, but saying "this is my personal phone I use...." Scammers?

Hi, very nice video, thanks for sharing. Just curious, my car (vw tiguan) already equipped with wireless android auto, and my android phone is connected to android auto automatically everytime i get into the car. When i plug in carlinkit, it works fine, with youtube and all. But how do i get back to my original VW infotainment screen? It looks like i can only switch between my phone's android auto screen (under android auto) or this android syatem(under apple carplay) when i clicked on "Home". My only connected cable to mycar usc is to the carlinkit device. Can you teach me how to switch among 3 screens: 1) VW original infotainment, 2) android auto(connected to my phone) and 3) carlinkit android system? Thanks a million :-)

Thanks for the review. It's excellent. Can you explain why we need / or don't need to insert a SIM card Thanks

[@SaabUnleashed]

So most apps require a data connection (but not all). Data is good because it allows you to stream music and can provide live map data for navigation, such as traffic and speed camera locations. If you put a SIM in, you will permanently have a data connection without the requirement to connect a phone. However, that will require a SIM. The alternative is to turn on your mobile phone's WiFi hotspot and connect to that

So without the ai box, you're unable to use waze and other apps? It seems wireless android/apple is a simple screen mirroring of your phone 🤔

Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are a kind of mirroring. They stream certain apps installed on the mobile to the screen in the car. Waze is compatible with this along with most navigation apps. Video playback apps are not compatible though, which is one of the reasons why an AI box is good
