Unbelievable Valvue
It is a bit of a learning curve to get it working. However once mastered it’s simple. The product has a great display, no lag in touchscreen. SD card and USB stick work great for films etc. At the price it’s a no brainer.

Bit of a faff but good enough
For the price it's rather good however sound quality is not fantastic even with a aux filter android auto works most of the time but it does like to play up on occasion I have found it you unplug the unit and restart it sometimes it fixes it if it doesn't then restarting your phone will fix this issue the picture quality is ok but when the sun is low in the sky good luck seeing anything at all also consider the size of the unit before purchasing it is rather large and takes a bit of testing to find a good place for it to go mounting to the windscreen is out of the question due to it's size so find a way to mount it to your dashboard I bought a cd slot mount and it works fine however I have lost my radio controls not a big deal for me because I have them on my steering wheel just something to think about and be ready for cables hanging everywhere cable management is not ideal due to it being a standalone unit quality of the product is questionable but surprisingly easily usable

Good device, just a shame about the mounting options
I'm using this in a car that doesn't have space for a double DIN stereo and so far it's mostly been great. It's easy to use and responsive, and it hasn't frozen up so far which is always a bonus. I don't really know much about Android auto, but there are some apps I would prefer to be on the screen and accessible. However, I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the device or just how Android auto works so I haven't let it affect this review.The charger comes with two USB outputs so that you can plug other devices in, but honestly, I think I'd have much preferred a 12v pass-through so that I can plug other devices in (dash cam for instance) to my cars only 12v socket!The biggest issue I have with this is the mounts, or rather lack thereof! You get two mounts with non-interchangeable parts. You either have to have the device permanently fixed somewhere by way of a sticky pad, or have a suction cup mounted to the windscreen with a long arm that has almost no adjustable angles. I would've preferred a smaller mount so that I can mount it to the dashboard, centre vents or similar.For me personally, the lack of mounting options is a huge let down. I wanted to mount this on the centre console of my car so that if any thief looks through the window it looks like it's just the standard, factory fitted unit. Sadly due to the lack of options, this either has to be permanently fixed to the dashboard or fixed to the windscreen at an uncomfortable angle (due to the lack of angles)

Not for Android
Doesnt work with Android. It would connect and then sound like it was skipping the song while the screen stayed the same and would catch up after 20/30 seconds. This was happening every minute making it unusable for music/audio.

Incredibly easy to install and is very handy for navigation etc
The “9 Inch Portable Car Radio Receiver with Wireless Carplay” from “AKOFIC” is an all-in-one Carplay, GPS Navigation and Radio for installing into your car.Installing the Carplay Multi-System into your car is relatively simple. You simply use the included dashboard suction mount to have it sitting on your car dashboard. Alternatively, you can have it attached to your car windscreen using this suction mount if you prefer.The Carplay Multi-System is powered via the 12V cigarette lighter inlet in your car, therefore you need to bear this in mind when installing it, as there will be a power lead running from the Carplay Multi-System down to the 12V socket. In my partner’s car this wasn’t a problem, as the Carplay Multi-System was positioned directly above where the 12V inlet is, so a short cable running down to it was effective and relatively unobtrusive.Connecting the Carplay Multi-System to your phone is an absolute doddle. This is just done via your phone settings and once connected I found everything pretty self-explanatory for how it all works.The radio functionality is excellent. The screen and general setup are incredibly easy to use, and the sound quality is spot on. Similarly, the GPS Navigation works seamlessly with Google Maps to provide you with excellent on-screen SatNav.The mirrored screening for your phone is another excellent feature. It means you can have all your apps and the like from your phone up on a screen for you. Excellent for your passenger to sort out stuff etc whilst you’re driving.The overall quality, look and feel of the Carplay Multi-System is far beyond my expectations. The screen is smooth, polished and very receptive to touchscreen use. The picture quality is also far beyond what I expected.For it’s ease of setup, the quality of the build and the screen display, and the flexibility with installation and the Apps on the device, I’m seriously struggling to find fault with it. I guess for older cars than ours there may be issues with the integration / sound quality through the speakers. However, for us we found this all to be easy and excellent. Recommended.
