Podofo 10.26" Touchscreen Wireless Carplay Portable Car Stereo Android Auto, Car Play Navigation, Voice Control, Bluetooth/AUX/FM, Car Radio Receiver

Update: The reps from this company monitor the reviews and reached out within 2 days of the review going live. They unconditionally offered me a refund, which I've graciously accepted. I want to send them the device back, but they asked me to keep it. I'm updating this review to 5 stars only because they are good people and are trying to build their brand. I hope the next iteration of this product solves all these problems.Thank you Podofo.-----------If you are having problems, return this thing in the returns period or else you'll be stuck with it.This device is amazing - on paper.In the real world, it does everything it's supposed to do, but it does a whole bunch of other infuriating things which make this device useless.Pros:Nice screen. Great when it works.Cons: many cons1. Constantly disconnects. You have to remove or set all saved wifis and public wifis to not connect automatically otherwise you'll lose connection when you're driving around. Even then, it will disconnect every 30 minutes or 1 hour for unknown reasons.2. It takes anywhere between 5 seconds or 5 minutes to reconnect, during which time, you don't have any directions. I always have to pull over or somehow unlock my phone, launch maps, type in the address to resume navigation. Total hassle.3. The device connects with a headset and media profile. Even if you uncheck the boxes for phone call and media in it's Bluetooth properties, it will still connect and take over your phone again and again and again... It is very frustrating when it does this when I'm on a phone call. I almost always have to pull it's cord to turn it off when I take a phone call. The built in speaker and mic are also just terrible.3. Gps is laggy on the map even when my phone is on the dash. Maps shows my location correctly, but this device sometimes thinks I'm still in the parking lot a mile away.4. This company's support is a ridiculous waste of time. I think they want to waste your time till yourThey asked me to factory reset, then they sent me an IMG file to flash on the device... Their device flasher is in Mandarin and keeps throwing errors. They made me try with different SD cards but same error.I tried opening the IMG file with different flashers but none of them can show me what's in it.Podofo: if you CARE, I want to return this device.

Works every well great product for the price. No need to upgrade my head unit (premium BOSS car system) with this add-on.

Works very well. I ended up having to order a piece to mount it to my CD tray because the stickiness would pull up from the dash… although I can’t even get half the sticky off my dash. I lowered the rating because I can’t charge my phone and run it at the same time. It causes the system to restart endlessly.

This is the fourth Apple CarPlay unit I have purchased, and I recently bought this one because of the screen size, and the product description made it look a good value, but I am very disappointed in the performance of the unit, the mounting bracket, the user interface, and the sound quality. The screen and connection is glitchy. Navigating through the touch screen isn't always responsive. The mounting bracket adhesive that came with it does not hold this in place. I have used other CarPlay screens purchased on Amazon that had a similar adhesive to mount the base and they had all worked well but this one with this product does not stick. The sound quality playing from an iPhone through the CarPlay, and then through my vehicle speaker system sounds poor. Very tinny sound and distorted at times. I am not sure I can recommend this one.

Worked great with android auto

***I ONLY TESTED APPLE CARPLAY AND AIRPLAY, NOT ANDROID AUTOI got this product as a cheap alternative to the more expensive similar products in hopes it would do the job.First impressions are decent, the hardware is solid. The device is packaged solidly, and came in great condition. Screen is very nice and wide, has a clear picture. The cigarette lighter adapter was a bit larger than I hoped but not the end of the world. The plug ins to the device are hidden on the back which is a clean design choice.Now the software for the device really isn’t so bad. Connecting to Carplay the device is super quick and rather intuitive. Most people familiar with basic bluetooth connections can pair their device without checking the manual. The screen is responsive enough, with a slight delay that is noticeable but not bad enough to warrant a complaint. All the apps work just fine. AirPlay works fine too but it is definitely not as smooth as CarPlay. The picture quality is not the greatest, and the delay is much more noticeable than Carplay. Good enough to watch a video if you don’t need the best quality video.So what made me return the product? Everything seems good enough so far…. This was my deal breakerUnfortunately my old car does not have bluetooth connection, so I was unable to connect my stereo to the sound system through bluetooth. But I did test both alternatives (FM and Aux). The audio when using CarPlay is absolutely awful and unmanageable. For some reason when using CarPlay the audio quality drops drastically. It is odd because when using the systems native software the audio sounds great, and flows through the sound system great using a casette to mp3 adapter. It sounds just as good as connecting my phone directly to the mp3 adapter. However when using CarPlay the audio quality absolutely plummets. Audio quality is a non-negotiable for me and is very important to my driving experience. I tried to find alternatives like having audio coming through the iPhone rather than the device but I was unable to do so, and couldn’t find a solution. Ultimately, this made me return the product on the same day I received it.In conclusion, the product is fine generally. If you are not worried about audio quality then all other apps work just fine with this product and it is a decent alternative if you want to spend under $100 for a solution vs $250+ for competing brands. However I would find it difficult to even enjoy music in any capacity when going through Aux or FM Transmitter with this product. A podcast MAY be manageable but even then I imagine it would get annoying down the line. (maybe bluetooth is better but I could not test it).TLDR; if you are using this for Carplay, It does the job with everything except audio quality which is so terrible I ultimately returned it on the same day I received it. (Did not test out Bluetooth)

The product does exactly what I needed for my non-smart vehicle. I want to thank Mia for her help in upgrading the firmware.

Item worked well for a while until it constantly keeps shutting off and now completely does not power on . I have attempted to troubleshoot and reach out to merchant and no response or course of action has been taken. It is very frustrating since I can’t return since I was past the return window!!!
