Thank you for this DETAILED review. All I wanted is a video option and they ALL say they do but none has thus far. First video with it actually showing videos on an android system. Gonna order one right now lol. Great vid 💥
@@MyCoolMac I got the Hikity one, the Podofo one gave me issues. Currently using the 4GB Ram + 64GB Memory HiKity Android 13 9” one and it’s been solid.
When the GPS is connected: does it use the internal GPS when connected via CP/AA or only on Android on-device apps? Cars with AA/CP built in have GPS built into the car for the head unit - better dedicated receiver and uses the cars GPS vs requiring the phone (which sucks battery like crazy).
Not with this model. You can check this Carpuride model that comes with a physical controller : carpuride.com/products/carpuride-w101-portable-smart-multimedia-dashboard-console-with-steering-wheel-control?ref=YvfOsnuU
(( QUESTION!! I would like to know does " FILES" mean files of just the unit or the FILES of your connected phone? nowhere have I seen this discussed.. Also many units are showcasing Android 12 or 13.. Is there any big difference between this one and those? Thanks for the video... ))
does the device itself need to be connected to wifi at all times like what you did for it to work with apple carplay Also what are you using the flashdrive for? is that needed?
No, you dont need to have wifi connected all the time, only when you want to use apps that require internet, like TH-cam etc. The usb flashdrive is to play stored media
@@MinistryReviewsSchaz Oh one more question. does the gps addapter need to be plugged in for apple carplay as well? or is that just for the main screen maps im assuming
I see it has a USB C slot, can i just connect a normal cable to it? I have a cigarette lighter fast charging adapter and I see that this one does not have USB slots. So I don't want to lose that for charging my phone and other devices.
I have a 2011 BMW z4 which didn't come with infortainment system, so I am using UGREEN 2024 Latest Bluetooth 5.4 Aux Car Adapter which plugs into my aux and usb ports to connect my phone into the radio.... can you connect this unit (or any you know of) since I don't have a primary screen to "connect" to the blue tooth/
Yes, this screen would be perfect for you. You can connect your mobile with BT to this screen and also connect it to your car AUX system for audio. But there are other wireless options in this screen to connect the audio to your car's sound system
For this product a lot of people complain about the sticky part damage their dashboard when try to remove it have you experienced this? The sound quality is bad and can’t control from steering wheel people reviews. Have you experienced this as well
To be honest, I cant comment about the sticky part sticking on the dashboard becasue I tested it for a short while. I didnt notice any issues with the sound quality or controlling
@@MinistryReviewsSchaz I see this model on Amazon with front and rear camera thinking of buying this for TH-cam and stored data flies on USB flash drive. I got the carpuride W903 but can screen mirror with my iPhone don’t work but I do like the dash camera, Bluetooth connection, steering wheel control and the rotating camera but no TH-cam or screen mirror. Should I just get the podofo instead cause my uncle want to the buy carpuride or just stay with the carpuride?
@@jermainescott9617 Carpuride is a very good device, but its limited to CarPlay and Camera functionality, doesnt have apps, so basically you need to decide between a good reputed brand vs screen with apps
@@MinistryReviewsSchaz I bought the podofo but watching TH-cam with my hotspot the videos aren’t that good video quality is BAD I don’t know if it is the unit or the hotspot but my hotSpot is T-Mobile 5G?
@MinistryReviewsSchaz I'm having issues using Android auto and trying to sent the audio of spotify to the sound system of the car, i think the correct setting is bt transmit, but when i trying to connect the smartphone using android auto, the device force me to connect to bt projection losing the sound of car
With the Android screens, you can install apps like TH-cam, Netflix, Live TV etc. Non-Android screens would only have wireless CarPlay, Android Auto, Mobile Screen mirroring and some basic functions
@@MinistryReviewsSchazhave you found a way to get Netflix and live tv to full screen and hide the left menu like it does for TH-cam? I can't seem to figure it out.
Hey! i boight the exact same one only issue is that the navigation button on home screen takes me to the" Audio Out " not sure if it suppose to be a standalone gps app i have attena hooked up but cant figure it out
Is it possible to remove the camera icon on the left, on the HomeScreen? I already have another rear camera in my car, so dont want to see this icon crossed out haha. Thank you!
I purchased one of these after watching reviews. I will say this, the unit I have will not connect to car stereo and phone at the same time via Bluetooth. Unit will only allow one Bluetooth connection at once. I'm very unhappy about this detail that TH-cam reviewer's aren't telling you.
Testé le V2Plus 4go 64go, je pense le fabriquant sérieux mais ensuite selon la marque collée dessus. appareil correct pour les fonction, mais défauts techniques ( soudures faibles à pas de soudure, visserie bloqquée, vis trop faibles ..) ; aide ok mais en chinois uniquement, un représentant en France ne répond pas, situation de panne : le SAV , service de garantie = sauve qui peut , delmande depayer pour des pièces sous garantie, ce qui amène l'appareil au double du prix d'une marque sérieuse.
@@MinistryReviewsSchaz ok thanks so much is there a way I can download TH-cam to Carpuride W903 or plug in a streaming box to it because people say the screen mirror don't work on iOS 17.2.1?
Everyone reviews these without actually setting them up permanently, I would love to see one in use for a long period of time, but seems like there are no such videos... so could be people realize they are crap and throw away?
@@RD-dm2je hey man its pretty much all cheap plastic heads up if youre buying it for the fm transmitter then id look for another option i tested it in multiple cars and the audio it gave back with very bad quality and has a lot of static (yes i made sure it was a dead channel etc) but if youre going to use the aux it works significantly betters
@@Sukihara thanks for the response. The Unit and the Radio are both able to handle aux. The device should replace the maps + more Unit in the car of my wife (vw Up). The current unit is from garmin, but to be honest it is also just plastic.
@@sencill092 thank you for your answer, but I can't use this because the bluetooth doesn't turn on, the bluetooth doesn't work, I'm using an Android phone, but I don't know something, there's a problem with Podofo.

Thanks brother for nice clarification, outstanding, keep it up.

Cars with AA/CP built in have GPS built into the car for the head unit - better dedicated receiver and uses the cars GPS vs requiring the phone (which sucks battery like crazy).
Yes, thats correct, it will use the mobile GPS for navigation
It can be connected to a physical control for (home, back, ...) ?? instead of that white circle

Thats correct. For CarPlay , you dont need the GPS adapter
I see it has a USB C slot, can i just connect a normal cable to it? I have a cigarette lighter fast charging adapter and I see that this one does not have USB slots. So I don't want to lose that for charging my phone and other devices.
Yes, you can, you just need to get a small USB A to C converter, like this: amzn.to/3ubvpYw
Ive just bought this product have you found any other mounts that might work with this screen would like one with a suction cup. Thx great video
Amazon have the suction that work I had the same problem
Is there any sound delay when you are watching TH-cam videos? Did you find any window mount will fit this unit? Many thanks.
No, I didint notice any audio delays
@@MinistryReviewsSchaz
Thanks 👍🏼
Can the rear camera coming with this unit can be installed inside of the car instead of outside to avoid damages?
Yes, you can, but you will have to connect it with a continuous power wire
@@MinistryReviewsSchaz oh yes! thanks

Can you change the orientation to portrait in the settings? I'd like to have it vertically and use with android auto.
You can if you use google assistance to access the display settings. From there you can change to dark mode and the orientation.
Do you think it is possible to connect the rear camera of Carpuride W903 to Podofo display?
Yes, shouldnt be a problem. These reverse cameras are the standard universal type that work with any screen

Just ordered this, how do you install apps on this radio? I’m new to the product, is it difficult?
Its very easy, you can use the play store app or any apk website to install apps
what is the advantage of the Android and non android versions? also, can we connect multiple phones at the same time?

No it cant
WHAT IS THE PASSCODE FOR "ADB ROOT PRIVILEDGES" IN THE DEVELOPER MENU

Does this device can withstand hot temperatures. I often park my car under the sun… i worried that it may get damage

how can you watch youtube there?
There is a TH-camr app on this screen. Just connect this screen with your mobile hotspot

There should be a physical reset button at the back or top of the screen next to power button
