Is This a Good Android Auto/Apple Carplay Unit?

Hey fellow OZB experts.

I am looking for one of these dash top multifunctional screen.

A little nervous about buying no name brand from AliExpress so found this in BingLee https://www.laserco.com.au/car-accessories/laser-10-inch-por…

Wondering if anyone has experience with this model, I assume it is OEM of something that can be bought cheaper in AliExpress or Amazon.

Recommendations? Of brand model retailer? Yes… AliExpress ok too as long as it's a good model.

Looking for both Android and Apple wireless. Already have dashcams so not a deal breaker if unit doesn't. Look for around $100.

Thanks in advance.

    But the shortcut buttons are on the wrong side of the unit.

      That is configurable.

    Sold under many names including B5303. Should be under $100 delivered, with a basic rear camera included.

    They are great value. You don't need a powerful cpu of lots of ram for carplay/auto, just a decent screen. So they can be cheap. Yopur phone does all the hard work.

    Avoid the ones built on Android (can run android apps) as these cost a lot more to be decent.

        I came across this carpuride 9 inch one. Looks ok. Might get that.

    Anything not 'brand name' will pretty much be the same no-name units out of china. The only difference is the local distributor (and warranty) you pay extra for.

      Even brand name ones can be bad. You can get generic ones that are better than brand name ones. It's kind of the Wild West when it comes to CarPlay/Android Auto.

      So better to pay the premium on Amazon for return policy than AliExpress?

    Someone shared this in the past, has good reviews

    I am curious if these kind of units can have standalone Navigation, unlike the one above which only works on pairing with Android or iphone

    Are there any unit that does audio out via BT? I see it mention audio via FM radio?

    • TheGreatBab on 20/07/2025 - 14:06

      Most of them Audia via BT too, when paired with phone
