      It just connects to CarPlay so it shouldn’t affect the 360 camera system in the car. That should run independently to this box.

    Update: Coupon code added for $ 15 off your order. Also, I have been speaking with the CarlinKit team, and I have discovered that the box can be switched to using the wired Android Auto channel instead of wired CarPlay. This is done by inserting the SIM removal pin into a hole at the front for 3 seconds, no firmware update is required. Doing this will allow the video sync delay to be less than on CarPlay. I will test this and bring out an updated short video on how this performs. Stay tuned...

    I see so many CarPlay boxes on RUclips that I don't know which to take. I know that Applepie Rocket would be the best, but more than 300 euros is a lot of money. I doubt between the Exploter Applepie Plus 2.0 with 8GB RAM or perhaps the Applepie Ultra or the Exploter "AI-996 E" Applepie or the Carlinkit Tbox UHD I can also buy at 145 euros with a discount off. I don't know about this 4 which is the best? Anyone have an idea? What is important is that I can use split screen; For example, Google Maps or Waze and also another screen for music or other app. (or more than 2 screens is also possible). Of course there must be wifi, the box must have 8GB RAM. I want to pay a maximum of 200 euros (with or without a discount). I like to use everything wirelessly if possible. I use this for now, see link below, so I always have WiFi in the car, I always work with SIM card because if i use bluetooth, i can not use netflix/youtube etc... I can use hotspot for 4G/5G but then you have always sett it on on your phone and i hate it.

    Thanks for the review. Very interesting device. One question. The device does not have GPS. Does it mean that I can not use any navigation programs installed via Playstore on that device? Or is it possible to use an external GPS device? If yes which is supported and works? The GPS devices I was looking for do not habe a driver für Android,

    • @CarPlayLife
      @CarPlayLife День назад

      It would require a data connection or Wi-fi to connect to nearby towers for positioning. If you use CP/AA for navigation it will use your mobile's GPS instead. I don't know of a way to 'give' it GPS because the ports are limited for input of such a device.

    • @whz2050
      @whz2050 День назад

      @@CarPlayLife In general the are two options to use external GPS für Android devices line the 701 Plus: USB connection or bluetooth. For this most android devices Android offers the spoofing of GPS in the developer options of the settings. My main question is: Does ths plus device supports the GPS spoofing options on the devolper settings? If yes, it would be possible to use an external GPS receiver with this device and install navigation apps on the Android of the 701 Plus locally. This would be a real advantage for me. The device could be used as an navigation system without connecting via CP or AA. If this is not possible, the 701 plus does not make sense for me. I would better go with the "701" or "701 pro" instead.

      Most boxes behave different to the system they are plugged into. I can plug it into a CarPlay display and have 0 lag and then plug the same box into my Golf and get similar 400+ ms lag in audio on RUclips. Some behave more consistent between the two, but it’s more important to show how it sounds in the car for a more perfect comparison. What I’m saying is it could behave differently on your own system but that’s a risk where some can do it so well. I’ll see if the 6225 version is any different.

    Hi Anthony, Thank you for your amazing videos! Your reviews on the MiC Android Carplay were incredibly helpful, and because of them, I decided to purchase the Hi-Box. I’ve been using it for a while now and have encountered a couple of issues that I hope you can assist with. Frequent Cutoff: The device frequently cuts off during use. Initially, I thought the issue was with the cable, so I replaced it, but unfortunately, the problem persists. Micro SIM Card Configuration: I’ve inserted a Micro SIM card into the device and attempted to configure the network settings. While the device recognizes the SIM card, all the options to enable it are greyed out and unselectable. Could you please provide any advice or solutions for these issues? Thank you for your time and assistance! Best regards, Fathi

    • @CarPlayLife
      @CarPlayLife 3 дня назад

      Hi Fathi, Thanks for watching. The cutoff issue could be a number of things. It could be crashing of an app that’s running on the box, it could be memory issues forcing the box to reboot or freeze, it could be compatibility with your car system and it falling over. Best check with the supplier to see if there’s a newer update available to apply, as well as not to overwhelm the box with lots of running apps. Clear memory if you can to close any processes that might build over time. Also make sure it’s not overheating. Keep hole side facing upwards so heat can escape. The SIM issue might be a region thing or compatibility issue with your network. Try a different sim. Check the adapter is operating in a region that the box is compatible with. Some sellers may sell an EU region box that won’t work in the US for example. Hope this helps.

I use it and works great (other than a bit laggy keyboard input) and only cost £62 from Amazon UK. How does my H01 compare to other ones in your view? Btw, I use it on my Skoda Enyaq 13" screen and love it ❤

      Thank you so much 🙏🏻☺️ Yes just rolled over the 18K mark the other week. Slowly growing with a few video ideas coming that I hope will grow it more rapidly. I’ve not aware of the H01. Carpuride usually focuses on displays with me. On the surface it looks like your regular rebranded ai box with similar OS to some others I’ve tried. It looks like a closed AI box, so limited apps can be used on it. But for cost it’s likely a good entry into the AI box world and opens up the entertainment in your Enyaq. This is the EV right? So it’s handy when charging I expect?

    Please DON'T buy this item. Total waste of your money. The display resolution of your factory OEM CarPlay or Android Auto will be much less than the OEM. Also, the unit gets very high temperatures which is quite dangerous for having it in any glove box. Better stay away from the OTTOCAST company that does not follow their returns policy. They are just losers.

      Their CS does have quite a reputation, sadly it is a negative one. I have experienced much the same with many other brands, so it's not exclusive to Ottocast. When it comes to returning an item to China it is almost an immediate non-starter, and I am sure some brands know this. $10 off is a laugh. Sorry that you've had a bad experience there.

    • @CarPlayLife
      @CarPlayLife День назад

      You can go into dev mode on this adapter. Transition animation sale and predictive back animations is already turned off and it is already off for Remove animations under Color and motion settings. It can play 4K 60 from RUclips but frame rate suffers, likely due to the box being locked at 30fps. Hope this helps.

    Strange question but does AA run through car play (similar to ottocast u2-xpro) or would it open straight in to AA. Reason I ask is, in my car CP runs full screen but AA comes up half screen. So I quite like how the ottocast runs through carplay then brings up AA (to make it full screen) but it is just on the slower side!

    • @CarPlayLife
      @CarPlayLife 6 дней назад

      This will operate like the CarlinKit 5.0 in that it uses AA connection for wireless AA, and CP connection for wireless CP. I can’t do wired CP wireless AA or wired AA to wireless CP. Hope this helps.

    • @CarPlayLife
      @CarPlayLife 7 дней назад

      CarPlay wired or wireless needs ios9 or later and iPhone 5 or later. Older/Slower iPhones will impact the experience, which might be why they say iPhone 12+ on Amazon or they are just covering their bases with a medium tier phone that’s not capable, speed wise. Hope this helps.

    • @CarPlayLife
      @CarPlayLife 8 дней назад

      It’s totally different to a wireless dongle. It’s using an Android/linux layer so you have to compare it more with AI boxes than much simpler wireless dongles that do it all on chip than through an OS. You also have to factor in system start up time. Displays will likely start up faster than a car system will, allowing a connection to CP to be overall faster.

      This is to do with the app being blocked on rooted devices, which most to all AI boxes are. To get around this you'll need to side load the update by downloading it and installing it through APK manager if it has one or a file manager and run it from there.
