LAMTTO 9.26" Wireless Carplay Touchscreen with 4K Front Dashcam,Protable Carplay Screen Digital Media Receivers - Android Auto,Bluetooth,GPS Navigation,G-Sensor,Loop Recording,Mirror Link

I’m writing this review after using the LAMTTO 9.26" CarPlay device for several months, and I can confidently say it’s been a great purchase. I was specifically looking for a portable Apple CarPlay solution for my car, and after doing extensive research—comparing models, reading reviews, and weighing the cost—I decided to go with this one. I'm glad I did.The setup was straightforward and quick. It connected easily with my iPhone, and I had no trouble casting the sound through my car’s speakers. The built-in dashcam is a nice bonus—it works reliably and records with clear video quality.What really stands out is the device's overall stability. I haven’t had any issues with it disconnecting or falling off the mount, which I know can be a common problem with similar units. The only minor downside I’ve noticed is that the screen can be a bit hard to see in direct sunlight. That said, it's only happened occasionally and hasn’t really affected my overall experience.All in all, this is a solid, well-performing CarPlay device that does exactly what it promises. Highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade their car with wireless CarPlay without spending a fortune!

iPhone’s CarPlay (or Android Auto) is built into your phone. It puts very simplified versions of some of your phone’s apps on a larger touchscreen in your car and plays the audio through your car stereo. The RC14 is LAMTTO’s most recently revised and updated touchscreen. It can be set up by the average person in a few minutes (aside from running a wire for the optional backup camera which I didn’t order with my unit).After starting your car, the RC14 touchscreen automatically connects to both your phone and your car stereo (in 15 seconds on mine). After touching the CarPlay icon (or Android Auto) on the touchscreen, some of your phone’s icons appear. Things are easier to see and use on the touchscreen. CarPlay apps are very basic though and designed so you CAN’T do many things that may distract your driving like reading texts (unless a new text comes in). Siri (or Google Assistant) however can do many things for you. This includes getting directions using map apps, music apps, responding to and dictating a text, making phone calls, weather and others. The audio sent from my iPhone to the car stereo is very good and similar quality to what’s sent to BlueTooth earbuds.The RC14 has many other features including a full time recording front HD dash camera. It starts automatically, has a very clear wide view, and records full time when your car is running unless you remove the included 64GB TF card. The screen is bright and auto adjusts. It is high resolution for its size. It is a perfect compact size for my car but I can see map detail very clearly. I’m custom mounting it on a hinge in front of my car stereo and won’t be using the camera.I’m still trying to get used to the limited functionality of CarPlay apps, having to use my car stereo along with the touchscreen, talking to Siri, and understanding Apple’s configuration options. Also, moving each time through icons that I’ll never use is a chore since the menu system on the touchscreen is not at all customizable.OTHER TECHNICAL DETAILSThere are three options to connect the RC14 to your car stereo:-BlueTooth (if your car stereo has it, and mine doesn’t),-broadcasting to an unused station on your car radio (which works well for all apps except when using the phone callers hear an echo), or-plugging into your car stereo’s AUX plug; (my car stereo has one and it is what I use).Customer Support has been very helpful and provided a firmware update so the clock would update and also recommended a $9 noise isolator filter that removed static I initially had on the AUX plug of my vintage car.I just installed it this week so I’m sure there are many new things I will discover. Overall it is really nice to have more functionality (and music) added to my car even though it can take a lot of time figuring out how to use it all the same way I do on my phone.

The wireless CarPlay device performs exceptionally.It has a 4k dash cam with very clear video. It came with the storage card already installed making it plug and play, no extra items required.The CarPlay connection to my phone is very fast upon start and the CarPlay features were easy to use and quick to respond.The screen is bright but I found the screen did have some reflection in direct sunlight. It was not too distracting and adjusting the position helped.The device was easy to install in my car. This was an excellent product to use in my car that has an outdated entertainment system. I used Bluetooth for the sound which worked very well. This device is a great value.I did have a question/small issue and the seller was quick to respond and their customer service was knowledgeable and friendly. They answered my questions and was able to resolve my issue.*Update 6/1/2024*Rating changed from 4 stars to 2 stars.I worked with their customer service for weeks regarding an issue with the time used for the dash cam videos resetting to 12 hours and 16 minutes from actual time and +46 days into the future every time the device connects to CarPlay. They sent two replacement devices all with the same issue. I continued to test and send results. Then they just stopped responding. Their last email was a question, I responded, got no response, I sent follow-up emails, no response. I continue to have the time issue. I suspect they may have been dragging the process along to prevent a return.The issue makes no sense and sounds like a firmware problem. I liked the device but going from actively working to help with the issue to no response is disappointing. And the issue isn’t resolved and requires me to set the time for the dash cam every time I connect to the device.**Update 7/15/24**Finally got the vendor to respond and after reviewing my testing, and showing them how to reproduce the issue, they fixed the firmware and date/time issue has been corrected. I been testing for 3 days and all looks good. Raising the rating to 4 stars.

Great for the price. The FM transmission works better than I thought. Customer service was very helpful with my questions
