Carpuride W901 Pro Portable Carplay & Android Auto with Dula Bluetooth, 9 inch 1080P Touch Screen, Mirror Link/GPS/Siri/FM, Support Truck Dashboard Mounted

100% unpaid, unsolicited review for the Pro version, specifically. This device is such a great product for breathing new life into an old car it's insane - and it's seamless once it's all setup. THE MOST IMPORTANT feature for me was the Bluetooth audio transmission, and I feel like not many people are aware of how great this feature is. Unlike the other similar devices out there, this Carpuride W901 Pro model lets you stream BT audio direct to your car's speakers rather than using FM or aux jacks, all while still paired via Android Auto/Carplay. No other device I've tried does this. I really appreciate that the Carpuride folks thought of this and offered it in a well made design. On top of that, their customer support is equally as stellar. I reached out to them for a custom boot logo, and they turned the software update around for me almost immediately. I've been running this setup in my car for a few weeks now and I have zero complaints. I even added the backup camera and steering wheel controls - all of which also work flawlessly and took seconds to hook up. Attached few pics of the setup, but they don't do it justice. Note: I didn't use the supplied mounts, so I can't comment on their functionality.

Pros: comparably cheaper, large screen, compatible with multiple methods of connection, support carplay and android auto Cons: screen resolution is way below the same price you can get than the average $200 tablet, I don't know if this is the norm but at least I'm not satisfied with this. The polarization of the screen was 90 degrees off so even if you have the anti-glare film on, it is still pitch black if you look at the screen horizontal-wise, I think they used a really low-quality tablet screen that is not designed for car use. But I mean based on the price I can't complain much. bluetooth connection to the device is perfect, FM connection is also pretty high quality. But Bluetooth relay to the car is really a hassle, it connects and disconnect every once in a while. Again, this I think is because they chose a not-so-good Bluetooth chip or the program is not robust enough, I used aux to bypass this issue, another $10 for the walkaround. So all in all, it is a device that is cheap enough for the budget-sensitive mission but if you have the extra money to spend I think it is worth the time to do more research and skip this one

I just got a new used 2016 Subaru Forester, which I love, and was going to install a replacement radio (did it before on other cars) but youtube videos showed that it involved too much teardown of the dashboard. So I did an internet search and in Car & Driver’s review of the top 5 CarPlay devices this one came up as #1. I was surprised because it’s an external unit and I was skeptical. But I bought it and it works great…after some tweaking, a software update, and some tech support. But the tech support was AMAZING - responses came within a day and they worked. So now I can listen to music, podcasts, text, and make phone calls. You may need to make contact with the folks at Carpuride to get the software update but once you do you’ll be able to connect with both the smartphone and the car’s Bluetooth and it works pretty seamlessly. I am very happy with this product and it looks great. An excellent solution without pulling everything apart or spending $1000 to have it done by a car stereo shop. I don’t like the power cable being as visible as it is but that’s a small price to pay for a bright 9” screen and excellent connectivity.

Bought this for apple car play. The tablet connects to the car via bluetooth and will play my music/audiobook through the car’s speakers. It looks like car play; I can side-by-side maps and music. HOWEVER when you are on a phone call, the mic and speaker switch to the tablet itself, and, at full volume, the sound is terrible. I can tell that there is a person on the other end trying to talk to me, and that’s about it. Similarly the mic is crap so the other end of the call can’t hear me either. Same problem with texting. I can tell the tablet who to text and what to say, she will repeat my message to confirm if its correct and i can’t hear her. If i receive a text, it will be read aloud from tablets speakers - can’t hear it. My bf is an engineer and he is astounded at the laziness of the engineering and that this product was recommending by car&driver. Anyways, we scoured reviews on yt and reddit, and found one creative work around. You could use an aux cord from car to tablet which should make all audio come out of the car’s speakers. AND add an external mic so I could be heard on calls. But out of principle, I am returning this glorified phone stand. The only thing it offers me that a $10 phone stand + my car’s regular Bluetooth is a big screen. Don’t buy

Bought this model because...large screen, several mounting options, supports rear camera, CarPlay, and a WIDE temperature range (I live in Florida, and my last back up monitor/camera burned out). I had local stereo companies quote between $1K to $2K for a quality system, so this was a great price for a mid-range unit. A few things could be better... The FM audio output does not turn on immediately so I have to listen to a few seconds of noise. Other car bluetooth to FM devices immediately transmit silence. Carpuride: Can you fix this in a software release? The automatically dimming feature does not work well with street lights. The brightness cycles a little up and down at night. A little annoying. Carpuride: Can you fix this in a software release? Average the photo sensor readings.

Surprisingly works well for bluetooth connectivity. The CRV I installed it in usually has trouble with any bluetooth connection, but this screen connects reliably every time. It functions as desired. The suction cup mount shakes a lot so I used the solid mount. Instructions may require some common sense to understand. Seems like they were translated from some other language into English so terminology does not exactly speak transparently. Image is good. Reverse camera function works well with the separate camera I purchased.

Hope this review helps those who are purchasing Carpuride products. When first initial setup, my Iphone 13 had no difficulty connecting to W901Pro. However, the unit will not connect to my Infiniti BT. Playing music or making/answering a phone call, I had to switch back to my handheld device (phone). Only way to play music with my car stereo is via FM transmitter (horrible with hissing background noise) or an Aux (which my car does not have). Siri doesn't work either. After communicating with Carpuride team with my problems, 2 days later, they had sent me the latest firmware update and that fixes all the issues. I must say Carpuride support is A1. With the update, all voice/music transmissions are now redirected back to the handheld and from handheld via BT to car.

Se desconecta de la nada

Really fantastic for a Carplay/Android Auto alternative to an in-dash aftermarket install for older vehicles. It attached to my dashboard very easily (and stuck well) and functioned just as intended. Screen is nice and big with good visibility in sunlight and good touch sensitivity. Bluetooth output connected well to the aftermarket Bluetooth solution I have installed in my car (which itself connects to my car's aux input). The major product downside is no Bluetooth output of phone calls. Luckily for me my car has phone Bluetooth already (using my speakers), so I could route calls through this and not use the 901 Pro, but this is a real weakness of this device. Most importantly for me: the device came flawed from the factory. There are two streaks underneath the glass screen, likely because the backside of the screen wasn't cleaned properly at the factory. It shows very obviously in bright sunlight and is very disappointing. Carpuride seems to have an issue with quality control at their factory. I'm returning for this reason, but otherwise it's a great device if you get one without this flaw.

Un producto que esperaba mucho en tecnología y la final, no cumplió con lo que esperaba muy complicado a la hora de configurar el doble Bluetooth no se vinculaba , y en mi dispositivo se reinicia no fue lo que esperaba, y la pantalla tenía un retraso en el touch

Avant de procéder à l'achat, j'ai lu et relu les différents appareils. J'ai adoré mon choix et ça fonctionne très bien. J'ai aussi fait l'achat du support dans une bouche d'air de la voiture et pour moi c'est le meilleur choix pour placer l'appareil. Même avec des verres fumés, l'affichage est parfaite. Je recommande vraiment cet appareil. J'ai contacté le service à la clientèle pour quelques informations supplémentaires pour compléter les options de l'appareil, et quel service ! Réponse très rapide. Je crois que j'ai fait le meilleur choix pour ce type d'appareil. 2023-09-10 Dernièrement, je me suis procuré "Steering Wheel Control", c'est tellement un PLUS. L'ensemble de leurs produits devaient être avec cet ajout. REMARQUE, ne pas jumeler votre cellulaire en Bluetooth avec la radio de l'auto. Au départ, j'avais les deux appareils et je devais souvent ajuster manuellement la sélection du Carpuride. Depuis que j'ai enlevé le cellulaire tout fonctionne à merveille. ---------- Before making the purchase, I read and re-read the various devices. I loved my choice and it works great. I also made the purchase of the support in a vent of the car and for me it is the best choice to place the device. Even with sunglasses, the display is perfect. I really recommend this device. I contacted customer service for some additional information to complete the device options, and what a service! Very quick response. I think I made the best choice for this type of device.
