Compare to others, those playera got their own spec,
Ram storages cpu bla bla bla.
This one the difference is it is like a second screen for ur phone. It display whatever u project to it via carplay/android auto.

An error occurred. Please try again later.

Just corrected.

Why don't just install android with AA capability?

Reviewing.
Any suggestion?

This one so far the smoothest, 60 fps, less lagging, fast start up, supporting both aa and carplay at the same time, auto dimmable day night functions, bluetooth display mode.
And it is linux.
Most portabable. Very easy installation . After set up plug and play.

Seems good. I am also using linux player, the type that fixed into the original player location. Due to fast startup and i only use it to listen to music via usb or connected to my hp via Bluetooth. Also have aa/acp but needs to be connected with wire.

The suction cup really strong even under our strong sunlight? My cheap suction cup usually deteriorated after 1 year.

Depend on budget.
I have used rm150 android until rm1000 android
If you go for AA, rm150 works just as well.
The heavy processing is done at your phone
The screen is just a display

But wont that be different in fps, screen durability, overheating, dimmable function?

That suction cup , i am not sure. But i guess all of it shall be about the same.

Been using Ekleva 7inch since last May 2023, the device body is very warm, i mount it near to aircond vent to cool it.
the screen brightness setting is hidden deep inside the setting menu, there is no auto adjustment of the brightness, please check the device you want to buy is there any shortcut to adjust the brightness in the home screen.
The worst part is the audio output, FM transmitter is useless, the aux output also very bad quality, you need to purchase a audio ground loop noise isolator to get rid of the noise from the aux output. Dont expect quality audio output from this type of device, and the software also very buggy.

Finally the real reviewer.
Hahaha. How much u bough ur EKleva 7inch?
I saw some say the audio quality is bad. BT trasmit only about 100kps while FM about 120kps which is not much better while the aux connector is lose and quality is terrible.

This carpodgo come with a few reviewers, testing the dimmable functions, there is auto brightness setting and it function flawlessly.
The bluetooth only display mode, dual BT connection mode are awesoem. Dual BT function need BT 5.0 and above. Ur phone connect to this device and ur car at the same time. While ur phone project the mirror link onto the device, the soud output is directly via ur car audio system and it give no delay.
Most of the reviews give positive feedback with the tag the smooththes device in the market so far.

Refresh rate won't matter for maps and Spotify
Screen durability depends on your tint I guess.
Seldom see autodim according to ambient.
Auto dim according to your headlight then yes
I bought a screen with hardware button that I assign for brighten or darken

Overheat just add a fan. But usually no need

Fps doesnt matter ? What is the causes of the lagging screen then? Slow cpu?

Paid RM300 for the 7inch model, if dual BT function works then should solve the audio quality issue. Is the video recording function be turned off permanently?
I also thought of changing to DDPai M5S but it doesn't come with AUX output.

Another model i just found Eonon, which also produced Linux head unit, claimed has Bluetooth out function, audio can be transferred from unit to car speakers, maintain its quality, not sure is it same as dual Bluetooth the Cardpodgo offer?

No this is not dual BT function.
Dual BT function work the way that it project only ur aa onto the screen while ur phone sound via the car audio system.
And , carpodgo t3 pro doesnt have front camera. I asked the cs, they wont design front cam in future product as well.
This one is more simple. They have the socket for power supply, rear cam qnd aux. Not like those other android players that have a lot of socket behind.

I see. Is Taobao selling this CD slot mount as well? It would be a perfect solution for me to mount this since my car's old-school head unit still has a CD slot.

No . I dont c the cd slot there. Only another mount support for tesla. The price oversea seem more expansive. Taobao one whole set devices and the mounting with delivery cost about rm700.
