Perfect video for me. I just purchased the same exact car play and I have a honda odyssey so I was particularly interested in the mounting position I should use.
Great to hear man. The company also saw my video and ask me if I can check one of their upper end unit that run real android 13. I'll post that one once I get it in and give it a try
I used the telescope mount on the dashboard with some black duct tape. Works well and the front dashcam can capture road in 2/3 of the image (the other 1/3 is the dashboard)
One question: you car looks not too old. Your iPhone is connected to the CAR bluetooth for calls i assume and to the Podofo as well for the carplay stuff, at the same time. While you use Podofo for music and if you receive a call, how it manages it? Can you remove the chime from the begining ?
I'm connecting to the Odyssey via bluetooth. All audio from my phone is routed to the car that way. So while I'm using carplay, all audio are going straight to the car and when phone call comes in I just pick it up using either my car steering wheel answer button or carplay screen. Work seamlessly here.
I link in one of the comment a "cd slot phone mount" -- the One I used isn't available but you can search on amazon and other place for something similar.
You can connect the 2nd phone. You do need to disconnect from the first phone. If you Go to your phone bluetooth device for this carplay -- turn carplay off will disconnect it.. However the bluetooth still connected to that phone so it doesn't let you connect a new phone. So disconnect your phone from the carplay device/turn off that phone bluetooth then you can add another phone.
The one I used isn't sold anymore on Amazon but it's a CD slot type, something like this but do your research and see which one works for you. Depends on how hot your climate is, it might slip overtime. amzn.to/3AfkTSF. There's also these type that might works: amzn.to/3YDas5l
I tried this and it works but the app is finicky and picky on what type of format it play. Check out my latest review coming out today for a better unit for this purpose
not how carplay works. Carplay is setup for you to click plus/minus to zoom and drag around to see. Until apple change this, nothing we can do. It's the same on iOS18 as far as I can tell. Not this device or any carplay device fault
No, it doesn't. This doesn't have dedicated android, there's a another unit that I recently review that run android and that will do it. But you will need hotspot from your phone.
3 screens in a car is super tacky bro just buy a proper dash CarPlay system and sell the rest and sure you will get halve your money back Why you driving around with wires hanging all Over 😂

Thanks for this!! I've been searching for a solution for our 2016 Odyssey!
You will see a new review for a diff unit later today. I like this new one better!

Holder link plz
Did you know the pin code for this screen to use it on the factory or default setting
sorry I do not know, but if you figured it out, please comment as it might be helpful for other!
Would you know how to change the start up car image? I think you have to put new image on the sdcard, but don't know what file name it needs
There was no instruction on this and I didn't mess with it sorry
Does the music come out of the device or your car speakers?
IT comes out the car b/c I'm using Bluetooth to connect straight to the car. T
What mount are you using? Trying to mount lower like you did.
I link in one of the comment a "cd slot phone mount" -- the One I used isn't available but you can search on amazon and other place for something similar.
Did you figure out, how to connect a second iPhone? Not at the same time, but if another driver takes the car?
You can connect the 2nd phone. You do need to disconnect from the first phone. If you Go to your phone bluetooth device for this carplay -- turn carplay off will disconnect it.. However the bluetooth still connected to that phone so it doesn't let you connect a new phone.

Sir! Could you provide the link or let me know which cd mount you are using?
I was using an IPOW but it's not avaliable anymore on amazon. Try something like this amzn.to/3P3fvXp
@@JohnyTechReviewi buyed same doesn’t fit in that
Can you send me a link on the 3rd party mount you used? I find my screen is way too high.

Hi can we connect BT and listen FM Radio frm PODOFO
You can connect audio via FM Radio if that's what you're asking
Does the screen support android auto multitouch (for navigation?) thank for the video
IT support Android Auto. I didn't test it as I mentioned
Can it play videos if a usb thumb drive is connected to it? Like playing movies?
I tried this and it works but the app is finicky and picky on what type of format it play. Check out my latest review coming out today for a better unit for this purpose
Is it compatible with ios 17.2.1 or above or not?
I'm using it with 17.2.1 right now. It's fine. Not sure how the new Carplay 2.0 will change this.
It also works with IOS 18 beta carplay
Is it multitouch for pinch to zoom on maps?
not how carplay works. Carplay is setup for you to click plus/minus to zoom and drag around to see. Until apple change this, nothing we can do. It's the same on iOS18 as far as I can tell. Not this device or any carplay device fault
Does youtube music work on it ?
No, it doesn't. This doesn't have dedicated android, there's a another unit that I recently review that run android and that will do it. But you will need hotspot from your phone.
Careful with this type of brands...
Podofo and Lamtto are the same, but Podofo is cheaper in price (same products)
is there an issue with either? can you elaborate?
@@JohnyTechReview They are the same device, but with different names and prices.
How do you turn the opening sound chime off
I Don't know if you can
Thanks for the video. Is it possible to change the boot up photo of the sports car to something else?
I didn't see any standard user end way to do it. May be somebody can figure out a hack/tweak
How to install RUclips ?
Not this version, there's an android unit that I recently review that let you do that.
Is RUclips compatible with carplay
You would need a unit that runs android, I recently review a podofo android version of this that they sent to me. Check it out on my channel
Interesting. I just listen to podcasts, so I probably don't need all that functionality.
yea def not needed. I care more for the navigation on long road trip and the speed trap warning stuff.
You play you tube videos via Bluetooth?
That’s what I was wondering.
3 screens in a car is super tacky bro just buy a proper dash CarPlay system and sell the rest and sure you will get halve your money back
Why you driving around with wires hanging all
Over 😂
Go and find a dash that work for a 2015 Honda Odyssey that's expensive and not janky. We'll wait. IF this solution isn't for you -- then move on.
