This is really cool. I would need a pair for the two side mirrors so that I don't look selfish and other drivers around too could enjoy while driving. Hope they make that of side mirrors too.
1. Small screen will make you look at the map longer, this applied to my iphone NAV when I'm in a new place with complicated roads. And remember! we dont need map on our daily driving! 2. No rearview mirror while using Apple Carplay which are 2 main points here: Rear view mirror OR Apple Car Play.
I love these . The navigation when needed is the only thing you will have on the display when driving. When dimmed or resized the display does not distract from being a mirror. It's similar effect to a HUD heads up display and you can easily focus on what's important. For me the most important features are the DVR Dash cam and the navigation. The navigation should work without being connected to a phone which is why I'm watching reviews. I really wish they still made the 700.
We have a Ford transit that we converted into a camper van. The rear view mirror is useless because we have curtains in the rear windows, as a result, I think this would be a really good replacement for it, specially since we plan on heading to Central and South America and we did not want to purchase a flashy tablet to have sitting in our dashboard an potentially get our van broken into. Thanks for such a detailed review, I'll be purchasing it soon.
How can one see the rear view mirror when running Apple Car Play? It seems like the screen takes over the whole mirror where i can't see the cars behind..
I don't have Bluetooth in my car so connect via AUX cable. I was thinking of buying Wolfbox as I need the rearview as well as backup camera. But after looking at this video, I want the features of this smart mirror as well. Now I'll wait for the smart mirror that has bluetooth, android play, aux out, rear view camera, dash cam and backup camera.
A few questions, how does this get internet? Does it connect to car radio for speakers? Can it stream directly to phone if someone else is driving my car and I'm home?
If it's anything like the 2022 nav system I used, you should be able to tap that camera icon in the top-left and it splits the screen between carplay nav on the right.
My truck has an enclosed camper on the back so my rear view mirror is useless even though my tow mirrors help me see anyways. This I’ll be getting soon
What a terrible product. Your mirror isn't something you should be watching and look at all the time. You glance at them before backing up, switching lanes, and every so often while traveling on a highway. This thing is going to cause accidents left and right.
Everyone has it’s own opinion, I respect that. With the dimmest setting you could see the behind you and keep in mind if you have the other two side mirrors that all you need. There are vans out there without back glass so no need for the rear view mirror. That means they will cause an accident? Rear view mirror is not something you can’t drive without, but again it could have good applications.
Its not opinion.. its facts that a rear mirror improves safety.. You can think your the best driver out there, but others arent.. happy crashing into each other because some crap system delivering music was more important.. mobile phone holder?
@@iSimplifiedTech not at all “how good the driver is”, you have to check your mirrors to be safe! It doesn’t matter how good you are at driving to be able to not check your mirrors!
@@joel9999 how do you think i am checking my interior mirror then i dont have any glass in the rear. Maby sit down and relax a bit, not every car is same
I have this exact mirror & it wont allow my music to play through the car but my car & mirror picks up the bluetooth from my phone. It plays music through the dashcam & it wants me to use a wire to put in my cig lighter & use Fm & it sounds horrible. I just need it to let my play music through the car only via bluetooth.
Hey, i just ordered a pretty similar Mirror from Ebay here in Germany (Mirror looks exactly the same, but different packaging). With this model i was able to achieve Split-View with Carplay! You have to click a button on the screen where the pairing-steps are showed, named "Half Screen mode" (showed at 5:10) *before!* you pair your iphone the first time. If you already have your iphone paired, you need to do a factory-reset to the mirror. i hope this helps anyone.
@@dekode1857 Hi, kannst Du mich bitte kontaktieren, welchen Spiegel genau Du gekauft hast und ob statt dem FM Transmitter auch eine Übertragung des Tons auch via Bluetooth oder Aux-Kabel möglich ist? Ist das Display wirklich hell? Ich frage, weil ich den Spiegel gerne im Cabrio einbauen möchte und wenn die Sonne scheint, das Display dann schon extrem hell sein muss. Danke und viele Grüße, Mike 🙋🏼♂️
I have two of these and find that the placement where the interior mirror used to be is so much better than in dash Carplay. It's an excellent device and great value. Anyone know how to change the splash screen to an image of the car it's being used in?
It’s a cool gadget but how can you see in the mirror when driving? Or does it switch off, I don’t get it .. i think I prefer my wireless car play screen, ok after watching it all I think I’ll buy one and sell my other one 😂
@@bensenzo I think a piece of aluminum bent at 90 degrees attached to the "mirror" and dashboard with double sided tape should do the job. If you want something more elegant you can design and 3D print a bracket for it.
He said if you turn it off you can but based on the image of him doing that its less like a mirror and more like trying to see the reflection in your screen off cell phone :/
very good dash cam, the scree resolutin is very god compared to some other in the market. I can se it also packed with many features. music, player fm player, maps. My 10" dash cam doesn' t compare to this.
Damn I should have bought this instead of the RedTiger T27. Don't get me wrong the T27 is great but this is just amazing as my car infotainment system does not have android auto. Also do you have to connect your mobile phone to this dash cam.
A brilliant invention! Now you have another reason not to keep your eyes on the road! It will get banned in the UK, and if you hit someone whilst driving and you have it installed in your car, you will be charged with negligence!
How foolish....Cars have all sorts of distractions in them already, along with idiots looking at cell phones, and texting while they drive. A forward looking camera would be more beneficial than detrimental - especially in accident / insurance company disputes.
So if you ever drove a u-haul or that type of truck, how did you look at the mirror to see behind you? EXACTLY. stop complaining and just dont buy it if you dont want to. But im sure they will be helpful for those type of trucks and how many accidents do you see involving those type of trucks compared to regular vehicles with an actual rearview mirror
In other news "A man was killed today when his vehicle karrened off the side of a cliff. Authorities say he was adjusting the brightness of his smart rear view mirror phone thing.

It would be useful, if a rearview camera would be always on display... Dashcam forward is totally useless, as we already see with our eyes through the windshield....
Don’t install cuz that rear view mirro so important coz u know it’s bad when drive save money on other things i have installed but open it after installing you need 5 sec wacth on back 3 sec on left and right side mirror on drive
Just installed mine and it's Fantastic....I hard wired it and it's well worth the cash💯👍🏾🇺🇲

6:36 if this is how you toggle between Android Auto split screen or not; what happens when you click that when first opening Android Auto?
It’s missing rear view camera wiring for normal driving with Waze or others navigation split screen. and reverse parking. A massive omission😢
It does have that. Works great.

Is it possible to change the start up image of a Porsche to something else!?
we made this carplay in China and we exported to USA,happy to see that you guys all like it so much!

Does this unit work off your phone/devices internet or does it require a WiFi connection from somewhere like OnStar?

Can you change the graphic in the boot up? The car pic is really obnoxious lol
OMG I’ve been asking the same thing!
YESSS BRO FINALLY I BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO CREATE THIS FOR 4 YEARS NOW IM BUYING THIS THING RIGHT NOW🔥🔥
Very innovative but not practical. The rearview mirror should be used for the sole purpose of looking what’s behind you.
That's fact.
Actually the mirror it's self isn't actually mandatory
The most unnecessary thing in a car. Vans drive just fine without them
My truck has an enclosed camper on the back so my rear view mirror is useless even though my tow mirrors help me see anyways. This I’ll be getting soon
A lot of vehicles do just fine without a rearview mirror.
How do you capture the footage onto your phone?
some states putting anything on your dash other then what comes from factory can get you a huge fine or your car towed
Thank you for posting this video because I need to see the rearview not the front….that would be confusing
Can I watch the camera remotely from my phone?
Are they any updates for this product?
Can record 24 /7 the car how many can you put the sink card GB 128 o more ?
Interior rear mirror is essential , yoi can use portable android auto display, dashboard or windshirld mountrd
Can i use Lg k92 5G with this
What about the back, how you gonna see the traffic at the back? 😢
The camera is in the box.

Why you didn’t show rear camera I have sesengo and rear camera very dark even with brightness all the way up
great insight! Although, I am excited that the future smart cars will have 8K 120Hz HDR displays, WiFi 7

Very nice but missing a key feature, it needs an interior - driver window - cop cam. If it had had one, I would already have one on order.
and a sim card slot too, for net

I have question about the google map inside this dash cam
Dose it have satellite mode ?
pair to your phone to use auto/carplay and access gmap. Don't think any android will have satnav at this price point.

No rudeness but his accent is amazing he sounds like Gru from Despicable Me LOLLOL
I love his accent too , he sounds like my Italian dad
The fact that it goes over your existing mirror looks bad.
My thought as well
I have to agree in some vehicles might not look good but in others could really shine.
Looking good or bad, the usecase is still terrible…
I'm in Zambia 🇿🇲 where can I get one of that make
Not sure really, maybe AliExpress.
Try removing the plastic protection on the touchscreen. Maybe it will remove the touchscreen performance.
seems like a bad idea as u cant see ur rear view and it will destruct u as driving and the positioning is not good
