Handy Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto Car Unit - Hinine 7"

Hinine 7": amzn.to/3Ty7I6v (US),
My Favorite CarPlay Units: amzn.to/3Uc8lTZ
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto have established themselves as the prevailing standards for in-car entertainment. Nevertheless, for individuals with older vehicles, incorporating these features safely can present a challenge. This is precisely where the Hinine Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto unit comes into play. Despite its outward appearance as a mere screen, this device enables seamless smartphone connectivity through Bluetooth. Subsequently, it facilitates audio streaming to the car via either an AUX connection or an FM transmitter. This innovative solution empowers users to harness their phone's integrated maps and music playback capabilities without the need to physically handle the device. Upon connection, the phone synchronizes automatically with the device, directing all audio output to the vehicle's sound system. The FM transmission option extends compatibility to virtually any automobile equipped with an FM radio, which encompasses a wide range of vehicles spanning the past five decades or more. In essence, this technology empowers owners of vehicles from the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s to seamlessly integrate Wireless CarPlay, modernizing their cars for contemporary daily usage.

I reasonly brought one of these for my 2014 Malibu because I don't have a screen with any of these options in my car...a little hard to figure it out but after watching this video I feel much more confident and I can refer back to it for information on the product things I can't figure out...Thank you this was very informational and helpful for me

[@menaceflame]

ATTENTION!!! Guys do not use their original mount that blocks your view driving. I bought 2 heavy duty magnet phone holder that attaches to your AC vent in that way and stick my wireless carplay to it. And won’t block your view and to avoid accident.

[@EpicGamer-yf4cx]

That’s what I’m going to do as well. So much safer.

[@rafaelroma1657]

You have means to position it in a way that dont't block the view on majority of cars, people have been doing this with phones for years. Attaching holders to the vent will not only block the vent but will also probably break its fins (it has happened to my prior car).

[@Junior-db2rl]

this is exactly what i was trying to find, thanks for confirming that this is an actual thing

[@jondurand12]

can you put a link in for the holders you use that attach to ac vent

[@RudyCantGame]

I'll probably put it in my cd holder 😆

[@musabinharunjisan9324]

How do you play music on inbuilt speakers rather than the player speakers. Struggling with this

[@subarubrat]

A great review.👍 The tip about mirroring is great. Being able to watch youtube is important to me as I sit in the car to have my lunch.👍👍👍

[@tjtheogchill]

that part! debating on this product while eating lol

[@MrJbipes]

I bought this from Amazon-direct, from your recommendations and how it would fit in my 2014 CX-5. It has an ‘entertainment’ system but cannot be upgraded. I wanted Car Play. This unit worked well when connected initially. Connected easily, adapted to the aux in in the car. Next drive, the touch-buttons were way off. Touch screen is way off for selecting items. Touch the desired item on the screen, touch command shows up to the left about 3”. Cannot select ‘Factory Reset’. Fail. Return

[@lsxfanatic95]

Can you connect that unit's audio to your radio via Bluetooth?

[@mizzpink98z24cavi]

I just ordered it and I will be using the aux input for my music. I can’t wait to use it.

[@javierbendana74]

How do you listen to your local radio station?...sounds a pain to be switching from a car to device every time....

[@SimpleCarGuy]

I mean, the same way as before? You just go from the station for this device or AUX to your local radio station. Same way you’d switch sources on the car before.

[@FaStayKnight]

I bought one went through all the steps for connection but the screen never switched the car play any advise?

How do you charge your phone

[@bonnieschwartz6397]

Just bought this - I'm plugging in to a 12v usb outlet. There is no indicator (Green lightning bolt) that shows it is charging. When I plug my phone in, i get the lightning bolt. Does this mean that my phone is charging, or both the phone and unit are charging? How do I get this to charge?

[@SimpleCarGuy]

This unit does not have a battery. It’s charging your phone.

[@bonnieschwartz6397]

@@SimpleCarGuy thanks for your quick reply. I got it to show it was charging. Think the plug just needs to go in in a specific orientation. 2 more questions- if I use the aux cable- how do I select that? That is not listed with the other options- fm transmitter, etc. and - if I use fm transmitter- are the only options for channels the ones shown? How do I get others? Thanks

Got this device but when I use the AUX cable to my car stereo people cannot hear me when on phone calls. I can hear them just fine. When I unplug the AUX cable and use the built in speakers on the device then it works just fine. Any thoughts?

[@SimpleCarGuy]

You have to select internal mic when using the Aux as Aux would just be for output

[@tala9499]

Select internal mic where? Do not see this option in settings?

[@jasomkovac9115]

All well and good, but I wanted to see hos the mapping worked. Thats one of the reasons I'm interested in 1. Go to a different place and show it.

Good morning! I am hoping you can help me. I bought the same unit 2 weeks ago, and as of today, I've not been able to pair the phone with the unit, I have an android cell phone. Can you please take a minute and tell me how to pair the unit, what to do on each unit so they can pair? the instructions say to look for car.... something in Bluetooth, code 888888, but I can't seem to be able to put the code or get it to work. Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated! I'm 70 years old and I need any help I can get! I'm going to return it in one week if I cannot make it sync with my phone. Thanks a lot for your help.

[@ravic4681]

My 12 v socket already occupied by dashcam. So in this case how to connect this car play to my car

[@SimpleCarGuy]

You can get a splitter or you can just use a USB cable if that's an option. FM won't work as well either as the cable has built in antenna (I believe)

[@ravic4681]

Get a hardwire kit for your camera, it gets power from the fuse box and frees up your 12v socket.
