Took Care Of My Problem quickly.

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2024

I was pleased with the android auto performance on the Podofo and it set up easily. I lost my setting to wirelessly transmit to my FM radio to play music. I notified them one day by e'mail and the next day they answered with instructions to reset it. Worked perfectly. I hadn't thought of putting one in my vehicle until I had to rent a car for 2 weeks due to an accident and I loved the feature on the rental. This one works the same. A great deall for the price.

Nice clear screen. Audio? Not that great.

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2024

Right out of the gate I'll tell you that probably most of the reports about screen lagging haven't taken off the screen protector. Once you pull that off it works just fine. It's not meant to stay on it. It's just for installing it.

Now that's out of the way.

So what happened here was that the USB port on my 2020 pioneer receiver failed. This radio has already been in the shop one time and I had to spend $300 to have it fixed. Normally I would say that's crazy but this was during Covid and there were no replacement radios. Since the only way to interface with this radio with CarPlay is through the USB port I was pretty much screwed. This radio has HD radio and the cheapest one to replace it with was about $450. While I will say that I like Apple CarPlay, it does have some drawbacks that are really annoying. The first one being that the CarPlay system basically turns your radio into an extension monitor of the phone. That's great and all, but the biggest problem with that is that the actual "native" features of the radio aren't available on the screen while CarPlay is running. That means to get back to the radio or any of the other inputs you have to tap the home button and scroll through a bunch of damn screens. I found this while driving to be extremely distracting and irritating. So basically what I mean is that if you were trying to go from CarPlay to the radio tuner, satellite radio, or even settings you have to go away from either the CarPlay screen (which is usually your navigation). Then you have to do a bunch of extra button presses to get back to where you were. That's a real drawback. Apparently radio manufacturers haven't figured out how to split the screen so that there are still radio controls on the screen while CarPlay is running. I'm sure this is prohibited from a cost perspective.

So instead of replacing the radio I just bought this ad on unit. What I didn't anticipate as how awesome this would be. Not so much that the unit itself is awesome, but the functionality. At first I was pretty annoyed because the audio coming out of the aux out On this device isn't great. In fact I would call it subpar. It states that you can connect to your radio via Bluetooth but I haven't figured out a way how to do that. This device never shows up on the radio to connect to. Plus I can't see how it could be receiving a Bluetooth signal and transmitting it at the same time. Either way, here's what I figured out in the case of this particular radio. Yours may be the same, yours may not. The aux out audio on this device isn't great. In fact I would call it subpar. It's not that it's noisy or anything, it just lacks dynamic range. Well that's disappointing. It states that you can connect to your radio via Bluetooth but I haven't figured out a way how to do that. This device never shows up on the radio to connect to. Plus I can't see how it could be receiving a Bluetooth signal and transmitting it at the same time. Either way, here's what I figured out in the case of this particular radio. Yours may be the same, yours may not. It occurred to me that for music I could still Bluetooth to the existing pioneer radio in the car. Well, when I do that I'm still connected to the new CarPlay unit. I can control the track information and do anything CarPlay related from tyat screen!! That's really cool because now I can look at my Maps or whatever apps CarPlay supports and I can access the rest of the Pioneer without CarPlay taking that screen and doing all the button pushing to switch between the radio's native apps/settings and CarPlay. . Like I can do satellite radio and not have to leave the nav screen. I have full control of the Pioneer radio as if I wasn't running CarPlay at all (it isn't). I can answer/quit phone calls from either device. I'm guessing whichever one I answer it with is the one that the mic is. That I haven't figured out. But the quality of it seems pretty good either way. This is an upgrade in a way I had t expected.

Only caveats? Well, an extra screen. You can consider that a plus or a minus. Just depends. The other is that I have this unit set to the internal speakers which is nice because it will default to that if I'm not using Bluetooth and still be able to hear directions. This isn't really optimal but it does work. The other is that I have this unit set to the internal speakers which is nice because it will default to that if I'm not using Bluetooth and still be able to hear directions. This isn't really optimal but it does work. Also, sometimes the audio will default for Bluetooth to this thing which forces audio to the new devices's speakers instead of the radio . That's not really a problem because if I just go to the Bluetooth input on the original radio, all I have to do is tap pause and then play again and it's back with the audio connected to Bluetooth on the pioneer radio.

The unit itself has some pretty nice features. One that you can set the screen time out so it's not glaring in your face when you don't need it. It has a timer on it so it will go out after 10 seconds or 30 seconds. All you have to do is touch it for it to come back on. That will probably extend the life of this device significantly. It also has the ability to dim the screen at a certain time of day. I like that as well. All in all it's pretty well laid out and simple to use. For the money I recommend it. If you're going full aux in? I'd look at a better unit. In fact I bought one for my other car and the audio circuit is really decent on it. I'd link it, but it's no longer in stock. It was the cheapest one on Amazon too. $37. The audio on this one isn't good so I'd avoid it if you plan to aux in.

This Is My 2nd Review

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2024

Nice basic unit. My first review stated Google Assistant wasn't working. Contacting the seller (Podofo) they offered a refund. They also offered an upgraded unit but said those units didn't support Google Assistant either. I purchased another brand to find that unit didn't function wirelessly (it was supposed to). I installed the Podofo again after a reset, and Google Assistant works great. I would like to find a unit that allowed more apps to function like Gas Buddy, but until then this is a nice unit, that now functions as intended.

Sound quality sucks. Display is good tho!

Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2024

Its amazing if all you want to use it for is navigation, music control and other android auto or Apple Carplay stuff. But when using it has the audio delivery device for music or anything else its awful, sounds like a tin can and is muffled with a little bit of static whine, that is all the time with Aux and FM transmitter modes. Have mine setup to use the Bluetooth dongle I had to connect to the aux since my cars bluetooth doesn't work right. That being said I still find it a very useful thing to have since my stock radio doesn't have any kind of nav or android auto function. Good ole 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Uconnect basic radio.

Loses connection

Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2023

Very poor quality. The response to touches is very slow or doesn't register (most all other reviews say the same). But what made it flat out unusable is that it would sometimes disconnect from my phone (Android Auto) and randomly restart, rendering it totally unreliable for real-time navigation. Music playback would also frequently skip and lose connection. Look elsewhere for something higher quality.

Good Headset

so day one of using. will update in a few weeks
I have a newer car but don't have android auto. that is the main reason i got this unit. for traveling instead of looking at my phone for the map now it is on a larger screen.

works as it should. connects to my phone in 30secs from when it starts up. i have a music app that autoplays as soon as headphones/media player is connected. so my music plays as soon as it connects without me having to select what to play.

was worried about this unit with the negative reviews saying poor sound and poor touch controls. but even with the screen protection film still on my unit it has done everything that i have clicked on no problems. Sound throught the included aux cable just as clear and even playing over the FM transmitter is just as clear. those that say its not as loud need to turn the volume up on their phones.

Only downside that i wish it had was a battery.
