Today I'm reviewing the Carpuride 10.3" unit. I've been using it in my car for the past 4 weeks and it's been excellent. I wanted to avoid having to rip up my dash, along with the risk of some other built-in things like the climate control and the backup camera no longer working like they should. This fits the bill!

We tried to get a shop to put something like this in our 2017 Prius v that did not have carplay and only had entune. Didn’t want to tear up my dash so I ordered this and just got it yesterday. I am going to set it up now. Thanks for this video.

How do you keep the windshield mount from coming off the windshield. Do you have any tips. My experience is over time they give way and the device will fall of the windshield. Any advice would be appreciated!

@TechWinnerCC 8 ай бұрын

My only advice is to be sure that the surface area of both the windshield and the suction cups are as clean as possible, and maybe slightly dampen the suction cup. I will tell you, I eventually did decide to mount this to my dashboard by using screws. Very permanent but I love this set up.

@Camachotim Жыл бұрын

Hey. I believe your car does have an aux port! I have the 2008 Infiniti G37s (almost identical interior) and it has one hidden inside of the center console. It is in the form of the RCA (Red/White/Yellow) input. you can purchase a RCA to AUX cable and it functions exactly how an aux port does.

I have a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. Can I get a cigarette lighter aux plug to run it through my car speakers? I don’t have an aux plug in nor does my stock stereo have Bluetooth capabilities. I can run it through the fm function but I have seen comments saying the sound quality is bad. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@TechWinnerCC 8 ай бұрын

The cigarette lighter plug will only provide power. It’s a completely separate system from your cars sound system, and there’s no way to send wired audio across this connection. It sounds like the FM transmitter option is your only option, and just know on the front end that I’m telling you that it won’t sound great.

If you’re able to stream music across Bluetooth in your car, I think you’ll be fine. My car doesn’t have that option. You’ll just connect the Carpuride unit to your car’s Bluetooth. So your phone connects to Carpuride > Carpuride connects to your car.
