CARPURIDE W901 Plus Portable Wireless Car Stereo, Support Install Apps

Shipping of the Carpuride W901 plus was quick and uncomplicated. There were no customs duties in Germany. Mounting the display is easy, all necessary cables are included. The configuration is a little difficult if you also activate the “Screen Mirroring” option and download the corresponding app. The names in Bluetooth suddenly change. Sometimes you don't know in which system menu the settings should be made. An illustrated step-by-step guide would be helpful here. The included manual is very helpful, a suitable PDF file to download would be a great help. The same applies to the hands-free and audio functions for the telephone. Here you have to deactivate the Bluetooth pairings, like on the smartwatch or the car radio.
Once you have figured everything out, the device will run with all functions after starting the vehicle without any additional actions.
The display is an asset for my car and I recommend it.

Love it, i wanted it for youtube and it doesn exactly that! Now im waiting for a ten inch plus :) ill get that too when it comes out. I recommend this one to anyone looking to use Youtube on it

I really like the unit, and it allows app installation which is great! I've got a few features that would make it better though.
1) no built in GPS chip. You must use your phones GPS through Carplay or Android Auto.
To fix this, I added a USB GPS to the unit. It was like $6 on Amazon. Built in GPS is a must for the next version.
2) "Hey Google" is disabled on the unit and cannot be turned on. The microphone works for searching with voice, but you cannot invoke "Hey Google" unless you're in Android Auto mode (I believe. I have an iPhone, but I assume it'll work in AA mode).
3) The software is locked down wayyyy too much. You aren't able to customize anything on the home screen which is a shame. Most of the icons on the home screen are just settings for the unit which should have been placed in a settings app. I wanted to put my most used apps on the home screen, but I'm not able to. I use maybe one app on the home screen and that's it. Total waste of a home screen.
4) the system navigation is not able to be changed. You have to use the navigation bar on the left and cannot use something else. This is probably my least favorite feature. I want to use a different launcher, but it's pointless with their system navigation bar on the left.

All said, it's a very good unit if your car lacks CarPlay or AA, and you want the ability to install apps. It's pretty speedy and comes with enough hard drive space. I just wish they'd open up the software options a little bit in the future. If they do that, this thing would be 10 stars!

Great unit little tricky to set up than the W901 pro but support team was able to help me out.

was now able to test the carpuride. works very well. It would be nice if GPS reception were possible. Then you could also use WiFi.
