Apple should just have a CarPlay app that you can go into while driving. I like this solution, but just saying Apple should make it easy to just mount your phone and have a simple driving interface to use.
I totally agree Matt. However Apple wouldn't do this because they have so many partners who are making money selling CarPlay enabled products. Companies such as Pioneer, Sony, Kenwood, etc. It would piss them off entirely.
@@shouldigetit I think his point is that Android offers Android Auto on all of their devices. It also stinks that iPads don't have GPS unless you buy the cellular models, so navigation on most ipads doesn't work. Apple makes you rely on these Carplay devices.
The government for some reason think that if you do X and Y on an expensive touchscreen stereo it's fine but it's dangerous if you do the exact same thing on your phone lol
Make sure to watch at 4:22 to see the CLEANEST aux cable setup. You can also tuck the wires down the dash as mentioned at 4:44. My setup is messy because I go through cars :) EDIT: 12/22/21 here's the link amzn.to/3sA5NkC Thanks for watching! -Ben
@Tamya 22 It would play the music the same way. You can either use the FM transmitter feature that's built in or plug in an AUX cable. The wireless one allows you to have CarPlay wirelessly without plugging in the iPhone USB cable.
Alot of people are comparing to a din installable unit but for cars like the lx570 that have climate control connected to the original head unit, this is a great option to get Android auto and carplay without having to go thru some other subpar options
@@jdoggaming6827 I have the same issue with my Honda Pilot I assume if you have a Bluetooth cassette player which I have currently you can connect this device to that Bluetooth on the cassette and your phone directly to this device so it will stream your music and sound out from the cassette option .
I have read several of these comments from the past year and know that some of you just need to do a little more research. There are several vendors of this type of product on Amazon and elsewhere, some of them direct sales. There are many, many reviews of these products on RUclips. There are various screen sizes from 7 inches to over 10 inches. Models that will connect to a backup camera (and sometimes a forward facing camera), sometimes with the camera included. There are various ways to attach these devices to meet visibility requirements and state laws. And they can be easily detached to avoid inviting thieves. They are a decent solution for people like me in need of a larger navigational screen for an older car where it is not worth getting an in-dash replacement.
Will be buying one of these for my Subaru! Already got a proper Pioneer headunit with Apple CarPlay in my Holden, so I am already in love with the CarPlay function!
I also have a fiat. And I’ve been dying for a screen! As you can see for a fiat it almost seems impossible to install a forever screen with those air vents in the way! THIS IS PERFRCT!!!
YOU FEEL THE EXACT PAIN I HAD!!! Yes!! I also recommend getting some blue tack to secure the screen tighter to the dash. This was a game changer for me!
This looks like a good solution if you have a car which doesn't have an aftermarket integrated stereo solution. If not, this device is ludicrously expensive for what looks like a $100 android tablet with carplay and android auto. I realise that if the car has no other option for upgrade you have no other option... but FM transmission or cable spaghetti on the dash is a good reason to buy another car ;) Thanks for the content. cheers from OZ
May just make the leap and buy one today. Seems like a great add on for my 07 prius. I plan to keep the car long term, but it seems nice to have the option to move it to the next car if my next car does not have android auto. You convinced me to get it!
In some state, its illegal. Obstruction on the windscreen. Car builders get around it by integrating screens into the dash first then overlapping the dash borders
thanks for pointing this out, I got super hyped at first and then checked my state's laws after reading your comment. sad to say it's illegal in my state )':
The device seem nice, but the amount of cables hanging from it makes it a bit pointless. It would have been better to connect via Bluetooth and have wireless carplay and android auto.
I wouldn't say it's pointless with the amount of cables but would be way nicer if it was all done with one cable. Wireless carplay is only in very few makes of cars (BMW) and it drains battery quicker than wired connection. Thanks for watching! -Ben
if you have a 14 pro or pro max, the dynamic island makes it so easy to jump between maps and spotify, and you can even hold on the island while you have music playing to pull up a lil "now playing" widget, without leaving ur maps app... i don't think $250 is worth it to have spotify in landscape mode , and to have 4 cables running up and down my dash😷
Thank you Sagar! Sending him a screenshot now, appreciate you subscribing! Do you have an IG? I’ll definitely have questions for you when I start shopping for an M2 in 2022.
This would be nice in a fleet vehicle but not in my personal vehicle I would absolutely pony up the $1,200+ for a nicer head unit in my car. Just make sure y’all put a gel pad underneath that thing otherwise you’re gonna have a headache 2 miles down the road.
No wireless = no go, I'm not plugging in my phone with the cable every time lol. Cool concept tho, and as an Italian I'm glad you're driving a 500 abarth
350 bucks? Plus cables or FM Transmitter? With just a little more one can buy a full feature double din car stereo with both Apple Carplay and Android Auto. And we get a much cleaner setup and security (there's no windshield obstruction).
I agree with you! However you can resell this much easier than units you get installed in your car. This is guaranteed to work in ANY car without having to second guess yourself and if you own multiple cars you can move it between them (such as my Fiat 500 Abarth and NC Miata). In my GTI I did install a proper head unit.
I am working on getting my learners and license again because it expired more than 2 years ago and this is already want I want for my future car since I have a iPhone and can get car play easily.
This looks great. I have a question though, I have a Pandora account with a lot of playlists I like. I have it on my IPhone. If I use this device, will my Pandora app show up so I can use my pandora? I have a 2012 Equinox that is still in top running order. I can no longer use my navigation system Onstar since it is out of date. My IPod no longer works and I hate radio. Almost bought a new car but if I get one of these, that would be great and then I won't have a car payment. If anyone knows can you please let me know so I can decide if I want to purchase this. I don't know anything about carplay I am 70 years old and somewhat of a dinosaur. LOL!
Still working well, handles the heat totally fine and sound quality has been good. The only “issue” I have is due to my car. The power outlet is right next to my knee so sometimes I bump it and it restarts the unit. The suction mount isn’t the best so I might buy a Cd slot mount or a different suction mount. It never has fallen but sometimes when I drive hard through the mountains the screen will swing slightly side to side in the corners. Hope that helps!
I have a 2017 Honda Accord Sport and just bought this for Apple Play. I have the power connected to the 12 volt. The music plays through the car stereo, but the gps, Siri and text messages don’t. I don’t have aux in my car so what can I do to get everything to play through my car speakers?
just bought one based on your video here, this option OR $1800 for replacement dash radio for my Ram 1500.. a link to the AUX cable you bought would be helpful .. i will try the fm transmitter but have never really been happy with the sound and generally prefer the aux cable route....
Sweet video! Just want to know if it will pair with the first version of iphone SE/5S? I seem to have trouble getting it to connect since carplay option doesn't show. Appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks
So how much is the unit? And this method will work for any car? Provided it has an aux socket? The alternative is for me to change my head unit, a factory touch screen nav, with reverse cam. Far more pricier!
It’s $350 Amazon link is in the video description. Works for any car EVEN if it doesn’t have an aux socket as you can use the FM transmitter feature built into the intellidash.
@@ethancrumby2240 The app you use for music doesn't make a difference. To get the sound from the intellidash to your car you can either plug in an AUX cable or use the FM transmitter.
I love the video and love the product but I have to agree with other people here in the comments with the price point off 200-400$ USD You honestly might as well go and buy a new radio and backup camera with better quality for that price and if you don't know how to install it there and lots of guides on RUclips to show you how and if not best buy offers free installs on radios and its like 100$ to have them install a back up cam and to buy one you can find good ones for about $80 usd for a back up and a radio for about $200 on the low end side and a good one for about $300-400 USD. But I will say if the product was cheaper it would for sure be a wonderful option
Thank you Eddie! Totally agree with you about all of those points. For the Fiat 500 in particular this was the way I decided to go because of the strange stock radio system which requires moving the AC vents to fit a larger screen. I also tend to buy/sell a car every year or so and this way I can sell the Intellidash when I sell the Fiat and get my money back :) Appreciate your kind comment :) Truly hope you'll subscribe for more videos! Btw what car are you driving and what is your dream car? -Ben
@@shouldigetit honestly I want the hummer that’s coming out I had an older model hummer h3 sadly lost it to an accident but now I’m driving an old Ford F-150 2001 also yeah your not wrong in your case that works very well and really I can see buying it if you maybe have more then one car you drive that doesn’t have apple car play so you have a good point there
Keep in mind some cars cannot change the deck at all. Cars with some premium systems such as Bose, B&O and some other have a complicated amp setting that charging the deck would ruin the speakers sound quality.
Totally agree dependent on the car Jorge! For myself this was without a doubt the easiest to install because it takes 20 seconds. Also for the Fiat it's complex because the radio has the air conditioning above it standard so you have to get a new bracket that also repositions the air flow vents. Thanks for watching! -Ben
I bought this model but when I leave my car and lock it the screen stays on.. it doesn’t turn off by itself and when I press the power button on the device it only mutes the sound so I have to unplug the power cable everytime I get out of my car so the device won’t kill my car battery (I have a VW Polo from 2002).. am I doing something wrong or is it a error? for the rest it’s a very nice, clean and usefull thing to have
This seems cool. Like everybody says too many wires. I wonder if they would come out with a larger screen(8 or 9 inch) would u know if they are coming out with a newer version? I would think about buying it. Thanks
Hey thanks for watching, this one just came out really recently so I can't imagine there is a new one coming out anytime soon, I'd guess in 6 months to a year. This screen is plenty large I can tell you that, I don't think they'd make a larger screen (I wouldn't buy it) because it'd take too much space on the dash. I should make an update video with a wire tuck. I barely notice my wires now.
Totally get that, that's what I did in my VW GTI! Just a lot more labor in the Fiat/also need an air-conditioning relocation kit in this car so I got the Intellidash. Which car do you have?
The thing I use the most is Bluetooth phone feature - I would really like to know if calls work great on this unit, and if the person on the other side can hear my voice crystal clear. Is there an option to install an overhead microphone?
I just bought one for my Honda Odyssey. The car doesn’t have aux. And I’ve trying to make the audio play through my speakers through the FM transmitter. But it’s not working!! What do I do??
I don’t get it. Should i buy that thing first? My car has already a screen, but i can’t download apple carplay because maybe it’s not compatible on my car screen? I don’t know…help
Does the FM transmitter send the audio from the CarPlay apps as well? You showed us that it does this if you start the music on your phone. But, what if I kick off the music from the Spotify app on the Intellidash itself?
I’m a little late to the party. I just got a 2019 mini Cooper and I had no idea that it didn’t have Apple CarPlay. I just thought I didn’t know how to do it. Anyway will it work for that car? I can’t live without it
@@shouldigetit Wow Thank you so much for responding. It’s a 2019 and the dealership forgot to tell me he didn’t have Apple CarPlay when I went to pick it up. They felt bad about it so they gave me $1000 so I got plenty of money to buy it. Do I have to get any extra wires?
My mom bought me one for my car for Christmas, but it doesn't work. It's supposed to connect to my phone and play music through Bluetooth. Instead, it cancels my music and plays nothing but a weird clicking noise.
Does it overheat? The main reason I want to change my stereo/ radio is that my phone over heats in this heat. Mostly bc it’s mounted in the same place getting ALOT of sun
I really want one but Don't you have to remove it every time you leave the car as thieves will see it's portable and attempt to steal it? That just makes it hassle
I have a Toyota Camry 2003, and I don’t have an Aux or Bluetooth, will I still be able to buy this? I want to be able to have a CarPlay but I don’t have an aux port.
Just ease of install and the fact that you can keep the Intellidash for your next car or sell it whenever you move on to the next ride. Also impatience for some people. Literally click today, install tomorrow (if Prime has 1 day shipping in their area). No need to deal with a DIY install or finding a local shop. To each their own! You can see I got a new head unit for my GTI and if install was that easy in the Fiat I would've done the same. My GTI CarPlay radio: ruclips.net/video/xQ-VZNbPq8M/видео.html Thanks for watching Gary!
@@tin-foo8262 Thank you for the reply! I just ordered the screen. I saw it has an AV port, and there are backup cameras that connect to AV. If it works, I will give you an update. At that point it would be a matter of organizing the cables so it doesn't look messy.
Only problem I have is that dongle thing that sticks to the windshield is gonna bounce around too much, also those wires 🤦🏿♂🤦🏿♂ I need a clean interior not a airplane cockpit
My 500 Abarth is pretty damn stiff suspension wise and it doesn't bounce. As mentioned in other comments get the wireless version (which wasn't out when I filmed this) and it's way cleaner! amzn.to/3TIvOtV

@@shouldigetit ok thanks for the update. The unit does look really cool and features I can use.
@@birdracer350lie7 Sure always happy to answer questions. Hope you'll subscribe it really helps me!

I saw one in ebay with a 10.2 screen.
I was hoping this was a replacement to not have to buy a new radio rn but 😢😢😢 it’s not 😭
Are you still loving the Abarth?
If it was cheaper then I’d consider it. But for $300 you might as well buy a stereo with CarPlay.
Totally get that, that's what I did in my VW GTI! Just a lot more labor in the Fiat/also need an air-conditioning relocation kit in this car so I got the Intellidash. Which car do you have?
@@shouldigetit what did you get for your VW Golf?
i have a 2009 chevy traverse with bluetooth only. will this work with this setup?
Yes it will David!
What if my radio doesn’t work and I don’t have an aux port? Will it still work?
Nice one, thanks for sharing 😊👍
Thanks for watching
Where is your auxiliary input on your car???
how to i turn on and off after driving? great video
Turns off automatically when the car is off! Thanks Jack
Heyyy from where you buying this ??
The thing I use the most is Bluetooth phone feature - I would really like to know if calls work great on this unit, and if the person on the other side can hear my voice crystal clear. Is there an option to install an overhead microphone?
Does that support wireless CarPlay?, Because mine takes up my cigarette lighter, and it doesn’t charge very fast at all in the port.
Yes, the version that I linked in the video description has wireless CarPlay
Adroid Auto as well?
Do i have to plug up my phone or does it have wireless carplay through bluetooth?
You do have to plugin your phone for CarPlay. You can do regular music and phone call streaming through bluetooth
If you have the Wi-Fi version, you can connect carplay wirelessly and voice connects to your car speakers
@@alhart1048 Got a link?
Will this work with a firefly?
I just bought one for my Honda Odyssey. The car doesn’t have aux. And I’ve trying to make the audio play through my speakers through the FM transmitter. But it’s not working!! What do I do??
Have you used any FM transmitter in that car before? Lmk what steps you’ve already done.
I don’t get it. Should i buy that thing first? My car has already a screen, but i can’t download apple carplay because maybe it’s not compatible on my car screen? I don’t know…help
What car do you have?
Does the FM transmitter send the audio from the CarPlay apps as well? You showed us that it does this if you start the music on your phone. But, what if I kick off the music from the Spotify app on the Intellidash itself?
Yup it does!!
Can you hook up a reversing camera to this unit?
I don’t believe so.
Do you have to use the iPhone cable to use it
the hardest part is installing that damn backup camera no one but a handy car guy seems to know /
Thank you
Thanks
I’m a little late to the party. I just got a 2019 mini Cooper and I had no idea that it didn’t have Apple CarPlay. I just thought I didn’t know how to do it. Anyway will it work for that car? I can’t live without it
Yup this works in ANY car! Super easy to setup in your Mini
Congrats on the new car!
@@shouldigetit Wow Thank you so much for responding. It’s a 2019 and the dealership forgot to tell me he didn’t have Apple CarPlay when I went to pick it up. They felt bad about it so they gave me $1000 so I got plenty of money to buy it. Do I have to get any extra wires?
@@Flynn242 Oh my god that's so nice of them! Yeah get a 3.5mm to 3.5mm aux cable which I linked in the description.
@@shouldigetit Thank you so much 😊
@@Flynn242 Of course! Enjoy it!
I just bought this. How can I transfer it to another car?
My mom bought me one for my car for Christmas, but it doesn't work. It's supposed to connect to my phone and play music through Bluetooth. Instead, it cancels my music and plays nothing but a weird clicking noise.
I am a Uber driver. Can I receive Uber trips ?
Does it overheat? The main reason I want to change my stereo/ radio is that my phone over heats in this heat. Mostly bc it’s mounted in the same place getting ALOT of sun
It does not overheat, that’s why it is so thick. It has fans inside to keep it cool.
I really want one but Don't you have to remove it every time you leave the car as thieves will see it's portable and attempt to steal it? That just makes it hassle
I lived in LA for 2 years with this and was somehow not targeted.
Big question can I use my music with Bluetooth? Since my car has Bluetooth??
How do you remove it on a daily basis? is there an easy clip or magnet there? thanks.
Easy suction cup!
I keep mine on 90% of the time.
Is there a version that connects through Bluetooth to the cars radio
Does it only use Spotify? Or can I use my RUclips music with it
RUclips music works as well!
If I'm using the map app and driving in the States from Canada, will I get charged roaming fees?
Does it charge your phone?
Yes it charges your phone
I have a Toyota Camry 2003, and I don’t have an Aux or Bluetooth, will I still be able to buy this? I want to be able to have a CarPlay but I don’t have an aux port.
Do you have a Cassette player?
Does it have android auto?
Only CarPlay, sorry
But you said it had android auto on it
@@PScool3590YT I meant I haven't used it. Sorry glanced at the comment too quickly.

@@shouldigetit k
I have a question how can I connect the speakers from my car to the CarPlay ?
Yes exactly! Using the aux cord or built in FM transmitter
I wanna buy this just to listen to my music, Can it still work if your aux input your actually car is broken?
Do your speakers still turn on in the car?
Do these devices update to latest Android auto versions?
Seems like a cool idea to upgrade your car, but for $350-400, why not just buy a whole new stereo for a similar price that has carplay built in?
Just ease of install and the fact that you can keep the Intellidash for your next car or sell it whenever you move on to the next ride. Also impatience for some people. Literally click today, install tomorrow (if Prime has 1 day shipping in their area). No need to deal with a DIY install or finding a local shop.
To each their own! You can see I got a new head unit for my GTI and if install was that easy in the Fiat I would've done the same. My GTI CarPlay radio: ruclips.net/video/xQ-VZNbPq8M/видео.html
Thanks for watching Gary!
Most cars won't offer you ever a car stereo dash kit so you can't just go out and buy a double din to install
@@cgrreviews7220 some * not most
Will this work in my 2007 Prius? It doesn’t have Bluetooth music audio, just Bluetooth for phone calls. Thanks!
Yes it will! It'll make the car so much more enjoyable.
Hi! I'm wondering if a bluetooth backup camera could be connected to this screen.
You would have to buy a CarPlay that goes inside the car, unfortunately.
@@tin-foo8262 Thank you for the reply! I just ordered the screen. I saw it has an AV port, and there are backup cameras that connect to AV. If it works, I will give you an update. At that point it would be a matter of organizing the cables so it doesn't look messy.
Oh awesome Juan! Please keep us posted, I'm really curious now! Thanks for watching.

Any way of making your steering wheel control buttons work or do you have to give that up?
Unlike Rick Astley, you do have to give that up.
-Ben
So you have to plug your phone in for it to work? Why not bluetooth or wifi for the connection instead?
You don't have to plug your phone in if you get the pro version! Same link
Will this replace the oem headunit?
No
Why r u using ur phone to put music and not the car screen ?🤔
Only problem I have is that dongle thing that sticks to the windshield is gonna bounce around too much, also those wires 🤦🏿♂🤦🏿♂ I need a clean interior not a airplane cockpit
My 500 Abarth is pretty damn stiff suspension wise and it doesn't bounce. As mentioned in other comments get the wireless version (which wasn't out when I filmed this) and it's way cleaner! amzn.to/3TIvOtV
