Install Apple Carplay in ANY car easy tutorial - Intellidash Review

Need gift ideas? Download my app! Https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cheerfu... it’s free!
*UPDATE Oct 19, 2022 it's in stock: amzn.to/3VSzlXh (and wireless now!)
This is the Intellidash amzn.to/3sl5Ei7 from Car and Driver it's a Carplay system that can be
installed in any car without replacing the factory radio. Here’s another very similar system just branded differently amzn.to/3eL3pk5
Update 8/28/2 apparently this one is a similar product with WIRELESS CarPlay amzn.to/38lcpYT (I personally haven't tested it)
Your car doesn't even need an Aux port to use this!
Yes it also has Android Auto!
Yes it takes less than 2 minutes to setup.
Yes I can let you know which Aux cable I'm using but no you don't need AUX cause it has an FM transmitter built in.
If you want to read my article on it, read here: autowise.com/car-and-driver-i...
Here's the first paragraph: If you’ve ever used Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, you know that this technology is a life-changer. Not only can it actually save a life by keeping your eyes on the road and off your phone, but it can also make using your phone more intuitive, whether from the driver or passenger seat. If you’re looking for an operating system specifically made for smartphone integration and in-car use, let us introduce you to the Car and Driver Intellidash+.

[@shouldigetit]

There is a WIRELESS version of this now and it's on sale! amzn.to/3KMdoUX

[@djmattplay]

Apple should just have a CarPlay app that you can go into while driving. I like this solution, but just saying Apple should make it easy to just mount your phone and have a simple driving interface to use.

[@shouldigetit]

I totally agree Matt. However Apple wouldn't do this because they have so many partners who are making money selling CarPlay enabled products. Companies such as Pioneer, Sony, Kenwood, etc. It would piss them off entirely.

[@dllemm]

@@shouldigetit I think his point is that Android offers Android Auto on all of their devices. It also stinks that iPads don't have GPS unless you buy the cellular models, so navigation on most ipads doesn't work. Apple makes you rely on these Carplay devices.

[@patoman9147]

Alot of people are comparing to a din installable unit but for cars like the lx570 that have climate control connected to the original head unit, this is a great option to get Android auto and carplay without having to go thru some other subpar options

Does this have a speaker in it my lx470 doesn’t have an aux cable

[@mrTopherB13]

@@jdoggaming6827 I have the same issue with my Honda Pilot I assume if you have a Bluetooth cassette player which I have currently you can connect this device to that Bluetooth on the cassette and your phone directly to this device so it will stream your music and sound out from the cassette option .

[@garyb354]

I have read several of these comments from the past year and know that some of you just need to do a little more research. There are several vendors of this type of product on Amazon and elsewhere, some of them direct sales. There are many, many reviews of these products on KZbin. There are various screen sizes from 7 inches to over 10 inches. Models that will connect to a backup camera (and sometimes a forward facing camera), sometimes with the camera included. There are various ways to attach these devices to meet visibility requirements and state laws. And they can be easily detached to avoid inviting thieves. They are a decent solution for people like me in need of a larger navigational screen for an older car where it is not worth getting an in-dash replacement.

Well said Gary! -Ben

This looks like a good solution if you have a car which doesn't have an aftermarket integrated stereo solution. If not, this device is ludicrously expensive for what looks like a $100 android tablet with carplay and android auto. I realise that if the car has no other option for upgrade you have no other option... but FM transmission or cable spaghetti on the dash is a good reason to buy another car ;) Thanks for the content. cheers from OZ

[@mielbeek3552]

I bought this model but when I leave my car and lock it the screen stays on.. it doesn’t turn off by itself and when I press the power button on the device it only mutes the sound so I have to unplug the power cable everytime I get out of my car so the device won’t kill my car battery (I have a VW Polo from 2002).. am I doing something wrong or is it a error? for the rest it’s a very nice, clean and usefull thing to have

[@shouldigetit]

I wouldn't say it's pointless with the amount of cables but would be way nicer if it was all done with one cable. Wireless carplay is only in very few makes of cars (BMW) and it drains battery quicker than wired connection. Thanks for watching! -Ben

Hey thanks for watching, this one just came out really recently so I can't imagine there is a new one coming out anytime soon, I'd guess in 6 months to a year. This screen is plenty large I can tell you that, I don't think they'd make a larger screen (I wouldn't buy it) because it'd take too much space on the dash.

Still working well, handles the heat totally fine and sound quality has been good. The only “issue” I have is due to my car. The power outlet is right next to my knee so sometimes I bump it and it restarts the unit. The suction mount isn’t the best so I might buy a Cd slot mount or a different suction mount. It never has fallen but sometimes when I drive hard through the mountains the screen will swing slightly side to side in the corners. Hope that helps!
