    Seems to have everything I'm looking for too. Keen to hear the Ozbargain peeps responses. Possibly cheaper similar products on AliExpress, but this should arrive quicker, probably a better chance of return if something is faulty too.

      I've thought I'd try one to fix to one of my Dad's cars I'm driving atm. For $144, how can you lose?? Especially buying through Amazon as you've suggested.

      • churningNburning on 11/01/2025 - 14:53

        Yeah I grabbed one too. I'm putting it in a Japanese car that has one of those integrated head units so I lose climate controls etc by changing the stock unit, and outside of spending thousands to install a second unit + bypass factory amp etc. This will make life easier.

          A lot of Japanese cars are supported from https://niftycity.shop - their units hook up to the factory wiring and actually display the car play/auto stuff on your factory screen so you retain full functionality. Definitely not the cheapest option though.

          • churningNburning on 12/01/2025 - 06:12

            @Agret: Yeah I've looked down this path, doesn't match mine unfortunately. It's either a beatsonic wiring loom + second head unit or a Crown Focus kit for about $1000 but they're known to have major problems.

      I have been using similar items for about a year. Recently, the base pad's adhesive has failed, causing it to detach. It has proven quite difficult to find a replacement adhesive pad that provides long-lasting adhesion. I have experimented with several double-sided tapes of varying strength and heat resistance, but none have lasted more than a day.

      • Gusper on 11/01/2025 - 16:25

        The only tape worth buying is 3M VHB 5952 or 4991 and make sure its genuine most tape on Amazon or eBay is not. I had to buy 16.5m to get the real stuff. This is what the auto industry uses to stock on exterior trim with and cladding to the side of high rise buildings.

        • Family420au on 11/01/2025 - 17:35

          Yeah, that's the issue; I checked their site, and they only sell it in huge lengths, which is super expensive.

    • theUnderdog on 11/01/2025 - 18:28

      I got an identical albeit under a different brand name. Did the job very well for my last car which had no smart infotainment

    • SonOfATightASS on 11/01/2025 - 20:32

      I bought this exact one about a month ago. Works really well, no audio cutout issues, nor freezing issues as suggested below. I can't really complain for the money spent(~$144)
      My only gripe is with the mounting options provided, they weren't appropriate for my vehicle (Toyota Estima). I bent a mounting bracket out of a small sheet of steel and wedged it btw two panels on the dash for a very tight fit.

    • DangerNoodle on 11/01/2025 - 21:47

      I got my obdpeak k2 from AliExpress with a 10.26inch screen for $50 on sale. Works quite well for android auto with the 1600x600 resolution and rear view camera. Dash cam features are functional and serviceable and what you would expect from a multi-functional device, better to get a dedicated dash cam but it works. It has handled heat well.

      I run mine in dual Bluetooth mode. Main thing is it will work well if you use genuine apps. With the few revanced versions of apps that I've tried, it doesn't play nice.

      I'm upgrading to an imagebon h70 pro for around 140 for the 4 core processor and 11.4inch 1920x720 QLED IPS display. I've tested about 8 different models (love the AliExpress refund policy) and I find that the k2 and the h70pro are convenient because they run off a 5V USB port so you can use your own multiport dongle whereas some of the other models I've tried such the k50 and some of the podofo models require their specific dongles due to their voltage requirements.

      • the1doood on 11/01/2025 - 22:22

        I am trying to get a screen which can show only Google Navigation either standalone or from phone. Is there a better option than this one for that? I don't need camera, reverse other apps etc.

        I tried to share but it said it’s a referral link but it wasn’t. Just search teyes and your car model number. It ships with the facade for you car too. Went from tiny basic oem thing to big screen with wireless CarPlay. I also got a wireless charger pad for the console so I can just throw the iPhone in there to charge while it’s carplaying.

    • CheapWrangler on 11/01/2025 - 13:42

      I got one of these, the audio cuts out constantly and the maps freezes. Seems to only happen after its been running for 10 minutes, might have something to do with installing it on christmas and leaving it in a car in the sun for a week over the holidays

      I have a similar unit (Eonon P4) and mounted the rear camera inside the rear window. Works very well.

      • ameyas7 on 11/01/2025 - 12:55

        interesting. i have a carpuride unit which came with a spare rear camera too but i thought that was meant to be connected to reverse gear. as our car already had a reverse cam, i didn't bother to use that one. did your unit advertise it as rear dash cam or did you just happen to use rear camera as a dash cam?

        • Price Jack on 11/01/2025 - 13:28
          +2

          They advertised it as a 'rear camera'.
          It only requires connection to a reverse light positive wire at the rear of the car to activate it as a reverse cam when reversing.
          Power, video and reverse +ve (all in a single cable) still needs to be ran to the unit up front.

          It works as both a rear dash cam and reverse cam with the guide lines (when reversing).

          • ameyas7 on 11/01/2025 - 14:38

            @Price Jack: i see thanks for the details. but if i am not keen to use it as a rear camera or fiddle with revers light wiring, can i still use it as a rear dash cam just by plugging it into the unit and just facing towards rear traffic?

      • Ti-au on 12/01/2025 - 16:42

        clever idea to put it on the inside.

  • NTS83 on 11/01/2025 - 12:32
    +10

    I have this, I found it a bit tricky to mount it in the car (maybe it's my car dashboard), ended up buying a CD-ROM mount along with a plastic part that needs to be installed on the device and can say it's pretty stable (since sometimes it will still fall a but from the CD slot and I have to secure it again)
    talking from android auto prospective, It's pretty good, since it'll save the battery consumption while using maps, also will show the media played and you can control everything from the screen.
    It has the audio pass through feature, where you can still connect to your car for all the call features, (my car has a screen but without navigation)
    so basically, you'll have your phone connected to your car, and to the device, you can still control the phone calls using your steering wheel, and have the display to show who are you calling while navigating.
    if there are two drivers, the last driver connected will be the one to use the device, otherwise make sure to turn off Bluetooth before entering the car.
    Hope this is helpful.

          Why is this is not legal btw? Genuinely wondering as some new cars dont even have rear mirrors such as Polestar.

      • tztong on 11/01/2025 - 18:13
        +3

        Depends how you install, I would not recommend this rear view mirror type dash cam. I have one of this but the mirror would keep vibrating when car is moving and the mirror has a coating which significantly reflects less clear image at night. So “vibrating” + “less clear rear image” which are big issues. Separate dash cam is better imo.

    • zxcvb on 11/01/2025 - 14:44

      Thanks for your review. Does this unit connect to your car Bluetooth? Does your phone connect to the unit via Bluetooth?

      Is the audio passthrough via aux or fm or via Bluetooth?

      • NTS83 on 11/01/2025 - 17:20
        +2

        The phone is connected to my car Bluetooth, and it connects to android auto also using Bluetooth.
        Initially the audio will be playing through the device, but then the device has pass through option, so all the sound will be played using your car speakers.

        • zxcvb on 11/01/2025 - 17:21

          Thanks, purchased based on your reply.

          • DangerNoodle on 11/01/2025 - 21:57

            @zxcvb: Always use the Bluetooth option. The speakers terrible and the FM transmitter quality is below average, but will work if your car's head unit doesn't have Bluetooth.

            • zxcvb on 12/01/2025 - 07:42
              +1

              @DangerNoodle: I have one of the cheaper units from ali and that device doesn't connect to the car via Bluetooth only via aux and fm.

              They both suck, full of noise and disturbance. Plus it gets interrupted on phone calls as the phone is connected to the car via Bluetooth. So it's a mess really. The only other option is to connect the phone via Bluetooth to the device but doing so, the speaker on the device sucks. Hardly audible sound.

              That's why I'm hoping this device will connect to the car via Bluetooth and i can connect to the device via Android Auto wifi and whatever I play on the device will playback using the car Bluetooth speakers, that is a must. If not I'll return it.

    • Ruisu on 11/01/2025 - 16:48

  • WowBargain on 11/01/2025 - 12:49

    These are good, but very similar units can be found on AliExpress for sub $100. I bought one for $85 during a pre-christmas sale (ozb filter won't let me post the link). Value for money is off the charts for some of these units.

    Gone are the days of cheap Chinese tech being "you get what you pay for"… These days it's more like "you get way more than you pay for" (as long as you do a tiny bit of research).

  • ameyas7 on 11/01/2025 - 13:03

    i'd highly recommend to check out reviews on youtube etc. particularly around boot up time, screen response time, connectivity issues, longevity of the unit etc. if you are willing to spend more for quality units or want more options for screen size, bluetooth 5.1 etc (which will allow to connect multiple devices simultaneously), you can compare out carpuride units too. so do some homework as these units can be a hit or miss. we got the carpuride unit with older bluetooth version and now in the hindsight, i feel we should have gone with multiple device connectivity option for BT but other than that it seems pretty good.

  • Wombat22 on 11/01/2025 - 13:08

    I've been looking at this one for a while now. After using an old Samsung tablet for android auto, I decided to make the purchase when seeing it on sale. Noting that last week it said "2024" and now says "2025". I recieved it on Wednesday so only have had a few trips with it but works great so far. Boot time is literally 2 seconds, another 15 seconds to connect to Android auto. Front dash cam appears to be clear and can be accessed anytime. Yet to install the rear camera so can't say anything there.

    Device works simultaneously for me with my phone being connected by Bluetooth to both the device and car, so audio goes directly through car speakers instead of device but allows me to control whatever I need by the device.

    As others have mentioned, a lot of these are out there now especially alliexpress. I decided to go for this Amazon one for the Amazon return policy and the ease.

    Should also mention, screen is clear and is very bright in day conditions

  • cheekymonkey97 on 11/01/2025 - 13:15

    I bought something like this on AliExpress a couple months ago and it was literally just an android system where CarPlay and Android Auto were actual apps rather than being an integrated system. Was pretty tacky so I sent it back. I doubt this one is any different.

      (Previous comment deleted for using a referral link that wasn't a referral link)

      If you look on AliExpress you'll find that there are units like this that are DIN sized head units that you can swap with a standard old style radio. Perhaps that would suit. Just search for "DIN Android Auto"

    Can anyone please confirm if the unit connects to the car Bluetooth and the phone connects to the unit via Bluetooth such that Android Auto works with car Bluetooth via this unit and phone calls with the car Bluetooth?

    Usually these models have their own speaker and connect to car Bluetooth only via aux or fm both of which are typically poor and not seamless.

      This can connect to a device via Bluetooth ( headphones etc not a problem) so your car shouldn't be any different.
      But I realise you want to run two Bluetooth connections. This can run a wifi connection between your phone and the unit, sparing the Bluetooth for another connection if desired

    • bargaino on 11/01/2025 - 21:27

      There is more than one way to connect it. But yes, you use bluetooth for audio out to car stereo.
      Your phone can pair to AA for phone calls, or direct to the car. The latter will let you use car buttons to answer the call etc.

      For something like this, I'm happy to wait so ordered from AE but you need to remember the "I want it now!" driver is strong for many people which is a big part of Amazon's appeal.

          That's great, but again, literal next day delivery + 0-hassle warranty/returns is well worth the extra $9-40 for many people.

        AliExpress returns are easy. Lodge the request under no longer needed within 90 days, they give you an auspost label to post to their depot. Most of the time I get the refund as soon as the label is scanned.

          Wow never knew this, that's a game changer for more expensive purchases.

    Can anyone recommend a good car play from Aliexpress, too many options, confusing

        I just had mine delivered. The resolution isn't the best but it seems better than my obdpeak k2.

    Went the bigger size for my father. Fingers crossed it’s alright!

      I'm going to trial mine for a month or two and if all good I'll be purchasing one for my dad too.

    Got one to try. Sure there are similar for cheaper on eBay and AliExpress, but I'm hoping warranty via Amazon will be essier

    There is another upgraded version 2025 from the same company. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0DFQ6VT79/
