Comparing the Most POPULAR Portable Car Stereos: Which is my Favorite?

[@AutoMotivate]

Watch this after: I bought 10 cheap portable head units to find which one is best on a budget. Be aware, there were some awful ones.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHrXiYOtm5uMras

[@StanEscobar]

Just bought the LAMTO 9.26 for my 2012 Ford Fusion. Can't wait till it gets here!

[@VainCape]

@@StanEscobar what do you think of it so far? Im thinking of getting one too but not sure if this is the right option. why did you end up getting LAMTO over the others?

[@StanEscobar]

@VainCape so I've had it for about a month. From a value standpoint, it's 10/10. For $110 I have Carplay and Android auto, wireless Bluetooth audio, and a backup camera in an old ass car. The device works as expected and I've had very few issues (sometimes my phone doesn't connect automatically but it's a minor concern). From a performance standpoint, I gotta give it a 7/10. The accessories are cheap so I had to buy a new aux cable and charging cable. But the worst part is that the dash and windshield mounts rattle like crazy when you're driving and it's so annoying. I had to buy another windshield mount to solve that issue. Overall it's a definite recommend from me. It's plug and play and all you have to do is hide a few cables. And I bought that lammto 9.26 because I wanted something low profile that didn't impede my field of view while driving. Hope this helps!

[@VainCape]

@@StanEscobar Super helpful - thanks so much! Sounds like its been a good addition to your Ford. I’m leaning towards getting this but I’m a bit worried by the mount rattling issue you mentioned. Can you recommend which windshield mount to buy to take care of the rattling? In case I have to budget for that too..

[@anthonymancini57]

You might really like the new Carpuride W903, currently what I'm using. Has built in dashcam, seamless bluetooth connection to the device and your cars speakers (if your car has bluetooth), can still use your steering wheel controls as opposed to losing the function with the W901 Pro (if your car has steering wheel controls for audio). Definitely worth the money.

[@bernarddrenzcampbell2757]

I was considering the Lamtto with dash cam or carpuride W903 ?

The best Apple CarPlay/Dashcam unit ever. I have it on my LX570.

[@Andrew-qo2jg]

I feel this should be viewed more. With used cars getting more common and newer cars more expensive than ever; the used cars don't have the new touchscreen radios that more modern cars have; having this in older cars makes things a little better but that's just my opinion.

I have looked at several carplay reviews and will say yours is the best as it is pretty much limits superfluous information.

Much love my friend. Thank you for recognizing the time I spend on these videos.

[@alannahh1517]

Thanks for this video! Which one has the best audio quality through aux? Sadly my car doesn't have bluetooth and audio quality is very important to me.

[@cactuscat3101]

The only reason why i have hesiated with these is because i make a lot of phonr calls. By no longer connecting my phone to the car, which is bluetooth enabled i lose the car microphone. Do these units allow for external microphones to be plugged in?

[@Lama-mr2uw]

As long as it supports siri or google assistant it will! it either has a built in microphone or uses your phones mircophone. as far as i know all of these have it, maybe not the cheapest one but the lamtto does and the capuride should too.

So i have an old car with a 1-DIN Radio. I want to keep the 1-DIN radio just for the look and the sound settings. Normally I'm connected to the 1-DIN with Bluetooth. When I want to buy a portable Car-Play Display now is there a way to connect my iPhone with the Display for Carplay and at the same time connect the display or the iPhone with the Bluetooth of the 1-DIN just to get the sound wirelessly on my Car Speakers? What Display should I buy then?

[@Leonvolt28]

I've got this functionality on my Obdpeak t20. It was cheap and works well. I can control my music using the buttons on my radio and the mic on my radio gets used when calling.

[@fraser7252]

I recently installed my Lamtto RC07 connecting through the AUX output. Everything works fine until I make or receive a phone call. If I am listening to the radio or Spotify etc and I receive or make a phone call when I hang up, I no longer get any sound from whatever I was listening to previously, I have to restart the device in order to get the sound back. Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Are any of the screens able to be rotated in their settings? Say if you wanted to mount the unit upside down from the top of the cab instead of right side up on the dash???

[@CreachterZ]

I love my truck, but I really wish I had a very nice Apple CarPlay set up in it. What I’m looking for, and I really am not too concerned about the cost as compared to buying a new vehicle, is a very wide high quality CarPlay receiver that I can put on my dash. I don’t want to replace my head unit. I’m sure there is a huge market looking for a high-end CarPlay device with very thin bezels, a beautiful screen, plenty of real estate, Bluetooth or even a professionally installed aux input, front and rear cameras, in a dash mount foreign factor. I’d pay $500-$1000 for something like this rather than being tempted by the newer vehicles that are so technically sexy.

[@AK-oz4ew]

The biggest issue with those is the screen brightness during a sunny summer day. Wish that thing was mentioned. I've got one from Amazon and in Florida midday it was super hard to see the picture 100% brightness

[@AutoMotivate]

Hello. Can you tell me if the Lamtto 9.26 has an equalizer? I couldn't find anything about it online.Thanks.

[@Pro1er]

I looked at these portable units for a few weeks but they won't work for me because my old car doesn't have bluetooth or an aux input meaning that if I transmit the sound to my car's FM radio I can't listen to the radio while I'm driving. I also feel that these are not a good value at the selling price. I ended up buying a single DIN Android unit on Amazon for well under $100 but it sucks because the quad core processor can't keep up with Google maps. The only quality single DIN units I could find are from Joying but they are beyond what I want to spend on a head unit for an old car.

[@AutoMotivate]

You lost me a bit, how will the FM transmission not work?? Yeah, the cheap android units are definitely falling behind.

[@Pro1er]

@@AutoMotivate I'm not saying that the FM transmission won't work, what I'm saying is that you can not listen to the portable unit's sound through the car radio and simultaneously listen to a music/news/sports station on the car's radio. With an Android head unit I can listen to the radio and concurrently hear audio from the head unit's apps like Google maps. I realize that the portable units have a speaker but good luck hearing navigation instructions or talking on the phone, etc. while driving with the windows down.

[@younglords7131]

Just by a android car stereo

[@wrth]

​@@Pro1er you could tune the FM transmission to the same frequency as the radio you listen to, should play both audio but annoying if you change stations. The target for these products are people who do not use radio

I have the Lamto 9.26" had it for 4 months now and it is pretty good. There are times that it wont connect to my phone though. Have to unplug it 2 or 3 times sometimes to get it to connect. The mounts shipped with it are garbage. I wish they would line up with Ram mounts bolting pattern. I bought a Ram ball mount and modified the bolt pattern to line up with the unit. Now it is rock solid in my F150. Now Getting your audio going in the right direction can be fun. So i have audio turned off on this device, so my IPhone is hooked up via USB cable to the truck Ford Sync, so it charges all the time. The screen is only used for displaying maps and Audio playing. Also I have the front facing traffic camera on loop recording with a 32GB card installed. Also it is parked outside all the time in my truck, and works fine in minus 30c when i start it up it doesn't seem to affect it.

I've been considering going full in with Android head unit initially but what turns me off is that I don't want to keep my main Google account logged in on it for obvious safety reasons.
