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.

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.

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.

The Dual BT Function work in both Car Play & Android Auto?
How much is Carpodgo T3 Pro? any local seller?

It is mirror link device that support apple carplay, android auto, wnd also huawei HI car. Initailly it work best for apple carplay only.
So far i only saw it on taobao chinese version platform. After discount with other fee, all in is about rm700. It sold more than 2000units on taobao official website. I have saw most of the review are very good. U can c that a lot of drivers with smart head unit like tesla car, also install this device with good feedback.

On tb app, they got special discount ifor those in western countries.
If u dont want taobao go their official website
Carpodgo official website
It is also sell on amazon platform.
So far this decice according to the product owner, they mainly sell to western countries.

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.

Eonon P4 on the Peugeot 3008 year 2012.

Overall, quite satisfied because it was cheap. No need to crack replace the stock HU. Will do a proper cable management and rear cam later. Audio output is to the stock HU via BT.

The best part? The steering remote still works for Spotify and YT Music.

Does this model come with wired Android auto mode? is there an option to turn of the Dash cam recording function?

Wired AA? Nope.

Disable dashcam? Nope.

Thanks, i prefer to use wired so the phone won''t overheat, and don't really need the dash cam function.
