If you’re looking for an easy and simple way to get CarPlay or Android Auto in your vehicle, then these standalone displays are a great solution. This 9inch screen is very large, possibly too large for narrow windscreens or dashboard mounting. Personally, I think a lower vent mount solution would be better for medium to smaller vehicles, and you’ll need to pay a little extra for a vent mount like this one that I'll link to in the description.

My time with the 9inch display was good. CarPlay and Android Auto seemed to function well, both wirelessly and wired. The main issue for CarPlay users is the rather odd, squashed display resolution that warps the whole CarPlay interface, whilst Android Auto users are free of this problem.

Media file playback was great, and casting wirelessly from YouTube over AirPlay on iPhone was great too. Using Autolink however, on Android with its App and a cable connection, had some surprising audio sync delay issues from YouTube. So overall, the video streaming experience for Android isn’t as good or reliable as it is on iPhone.

Bluetooth streaming seemed ok. Connecting my iPhone displayed the dial, recent calls and contact list menus. Bluetooth music playback was also ok with the volume being adjustable via the volume buttons on the device. The top status bar info and buttons were handy to have, however, I thought changing the background wallpaper and accessing help should have been in the Settings area for a cleaner UI. Display brightness, Bluetooth, volume and home were very clear and easy to touch and navigate.

I did get a few crashes of the system now and again, which required a restart of the whole display. This wasn’t so easily repeatable though, and I didn’t get it during Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, it was more around the Bluetooth and some media playback.

So overall, this display from Carpuride is a good alternative to some of the other standalone car stereo displays that are out there, and it is an easy way to bring older cars, old stereos, or even older hired cars into the future that can work well with today’s smartphones for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as allow the ability to playback various media.
