LAMTTO Wireless Carplay &Android Auto with 4K Dash cam,9.26 Inch Protable Carplay Screen for Car,1080P Backup Camera, Digital Media Receivers with Voice Control/Bluetooth/G-sensor/GPS/Mirror Link

I own a 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT with factory radio, which has UConnect but no CarPlay or Android Auto. I've replaced radio head units on my other vehicles so I'm not afraid to do it but I wanted a cheaper option for getting CarPlay in the van. A quick search on the topic led to these type of devices and the LAMTTO product stood out as a great option, good screen size, good reviews, and low price point. Sol gave it a shot. PROS: It is very easy to unpack and setup. Both of the provided mounting options - suction cup and surface mount - are great. I really like that the little bracket that attaches to the screen uses a standard 7mm ball, so really any mount that takes a 7mm ball will work for you. Connecting CarPlay, AirPlay, and both the Android options worked well. You should read the short user's guide that comes with the device but the on-screen directions on how to connect your phone/device for CarPlay, etc. are easy to follow and worked every time right away. The device starts up quickly, though you do need to give it 10-20 seconds for it to initialize Bluetooth before you connect your phone/device to it. You can get output from the device from its internal speaker (acceptable quality), Bluetooth to your car's radio (if it has Bluetooth) or a Bluetooth speaker, on an FM channel, or through an aux cable (that's included). Everything they describe about this product works very well. The dashcam footage looks great and is high quality. (I didn't hook up the backup camera so I can't speak to that aspect.) Cons: With the default firmware load that came with mine, when you unpower the device it loses/"forgets" the time you've set so it resets every time you turn the device off. Not a big deal from the CarPlay perspective but it affects the filenames of your dashcam recordings or photos. You can resolve this, though, by doing a firmware upgrade. It's mentioned in the users guide but to say it here too, you just need to email their support email address and ask if there's a firmware update for your device. Their support team is very responsive and provide great directions on how to do it. It was very easy and worked perfectly (and the issue is indeed fixed). The only other con I can come up with, and it might be true for all devices like this, is that you can't "pinch" zoom on the screen. You can drag things around on the screen no problem, but pinching motions aren't recognized so you need to find and use the + or - magnifying glass in some apps in order to zoom in/out. The pros far outweigh the cons, especially at the price point it's being sold at. If you want CarPlay or Android Auto without replacing your car radio, this is a great option for you.

Purchased and installed in Jul 24. Everything worked as described. Had no issuesconnecting and using it with Android Auto on Pixel 7 phone in a Ram truck. The layout is easy to navigate and the settings were simple to configure, very intuitive. Mounting was simple and straight forward. The front camera works great and has good resolution. I also used the included rear camera for a camera on the back of my attached trailer. This was a huge safety benefit as I can see traffic behind the trailer at all times. It only requires a camera extension cable which was easily purchased on Amazon. Yes, occasionally the Bluetooth would disconnect randomly but then quickly reconnect. No different than most phones and any Bluetooth system. This happened very rarely and I would not call it a defect. The 12v adapter may lose power occasionally if not locked in solidly but that is more of a car issue. I switched from the included adapter to a smaller USB-C 5V 3A plug to prevent this and that has not happened again. I also have had it cycle power randomly while driving even though the plug did not lose power. The unit completely shuts down and reboots as if I cycled the power switch. I thoght it was the power plug but it continued to happen with other cables and plugs and even in other cars. LAMTTO just recently reached out asking if I was pleased and I replied I was even with the random power cycling. It's done it since new and I never complained. They said that was unfortunate and offered some TS steps. It still randomly occured so they decidided to send me a new unit. I did not even ask for it but was very grateful and received a new unit that has not shut off yet and seems to stay connected via Bluetooth much better. Overall the unit is easily a 4 star unit but because of the outstanding support, I will give it a full 5 stars. I recommended it to my son who has installed one in a Nissan Xterra using Apple Carplay and his has functioned flawlessly for months now.

Hey Guys I looked far and long researching for the CarPlay I wanted. Picking between this Lammto 9.26 Rc14xb the other Lammto 7 inch and the Carpuride I was worried if it would meet my expectations and it did, I wanted to give a quick review answering the questions I had that weren’t answered. So first off, this is the latest model I believe, I wanted to high quality screen as well as backdrop. The background is changeable however. I wanted the screen to be able to be full screen for music, Nav, and camera, which they do as shown in video, not just the split screen, and I also wanted to make sure the cords were long enough to fit for a full size Van. The display is not as fast as my iphone 14 obviously but it’s pretty quick and overall a great CarPlay for the price, I put this in a 2002 Astro work van and it looks great. Not sure if I can plug, but I do plan on doing an install video of how I wired it through the back side door and connected to tailight reverse pretty seamlessly with no wires showing, on an old Chevy it was something I couldn’t find a tutorial for. I’m down to answer any questions Insta - troptrev

I recently purchased this portable CarPlay screen, and I have to say, I'm really impressed. First and foremost, it’s incredibly easy to use right out of the box. The setup was straightforward, with a user-friendly interface that made syncing my iPhone a breeze. It’s plug-and-play, no complicated wiring or confusing software—just connect and go. Installation was also a breeze. I was able to mount it to my dashboard in minutes, and the mount holds the screen securely without any wobbling or sliding around, even on bumpy roads. Plus, the design is sleek and compact, so it doesn’t take up too much space, and it blends well with my car’s interior. An added bonus is the included backup camera. The quality is great, and it syncs seamlessly with the screen, providing clear, real-time footage whenever I shift into reverse. This feature really enhances the overall experience, adding an extra layer of convenience and safety when parking or backing up. Overall, this CarPlay screen delivers fantastic value, combining ease of use, quick installation, and the added benefit of a backup camera. Whether you're looking for a way to upgrade your car’s tech or just want a more intuitive way to use your iPhone while driving, this is an excellent choice. Highly recommend!

Disappointing Experience with My Second CarPlay Radio Unit Let me start by saying this is my second unit. I purchased it in May, and it's been a hot mess. When installed, it worked well initially, but I noticed that the screen did not look as good as the first unit. I thought it might just be my imagination, but the screen looked a bit off and distorted. Then, weird stuff started to happen. First, it would randomly restart for no reason, even when parked with the car not moving and nowhere near the power adapter. Next, the screen would pixelate like an old CRT TV and then come back. So, it has some weird screen issues. Then, the Bluetooth would sometimes not connect, even after multiple restarts. I would go to the other CarPlay unit, and it would connect as normal. It seems like either they have quality issues, or I got sent a lemon. Either way, I now have to question whether the first unit will start to have problems over time. Yes, I am starting to see a few random restarts with the first unit, but I might have jostled the cord. However, I don't think I did, or maybe it's the start of the same issues as the second unit. At this point, I would have to say do not buy this product. I do not think it will last, given how the second unit is performing and the possibility that the first unit is starting to show the same issues.
