Enjoy my latest Coral Vision Pro Complete Review. You can buy this console for $329 +shipping directly from the makers themselves here → carplaylife.com/cvpro. You can check out my review of the earlier model here → • How to add CarPlay to ...
This console simply attaches to your windscreen, connect your audio Aux or FM output to your existing car stereo and then you’re good to go.
Installation really is plug and play. First locate the best position for the console to rest on your dashboard. Due to the weight of the console, it is best to let the screen rest on the dashboard surface.
Next plug the 12volt adapter into your available 12volt socket, and then feed its long cable around the dash and into the back of the portable console. At this point you now need to choose whether you want to connect the 3.5mm audio jack two an audio input port in your car’s interior, or if you don’t have such a port you can use the FM transmission method instead.
If you’ve chosen FM transmission for your audio, first check your car radio for a frequency that is free from any radio stations or interference. Then in the FM menu option on the console you enabled FM via the toggle at the bottom and then dial in the same FM frequency to match the frequency on your car stereo.
To connect to CarPlay you choose either to connect a USB-C to lightning cable to your iPhone, or for wireless CarPlay you need to connect your iPhone to the console via Bluetooth. After doing this you will be asked to pair and enable CarPlay, and then wireless CarPlay should begin.
For Android Auto, the process is pretty much the same, you can use either a wired connection via the USB-C port, or connect to the wireless console using Bluetooth to pair the console with your Android 11 or higher device.
A new addition to this version of the console over the previous model is that you now have the ability to use screen mirror or screen cast from your iOS or Android device. Sadly, applications that contain copyright material will not function, such as Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime.
Just like the previous model you also have a USB-A input port for USB media. By inserting a USB drive filled with audio and video files you can play these back on this portable console via its built-in media player. Many file formats are supported.
Performance wise, I found this consort to be a lot faster than the previous model. And its display, although slightly inferior to the original wireless model, it is just as sharp and bright as the original model. The tiny speaker inside has been improved a little, but you still will want to use Aux or FM transmission for your audio.
The FM quality is still decent and it’s a great alternative should you not have an Aux input. It’s also still unfortunate that you are forced to use the bundled 12 Volt cable adapter, which takes up the entire socket, so should you have the need to use a USB socket for other devices such as a phone charging mount, or dash cam, you will not be able to plug these in. Instead you could reuse the USB-A port on the side of the console.
In a future version of this console, I would like to see the console become thinner, and lighter. I would like to see its ports moved to the back of the console. I would like a big improvement with the on-board audio, and have the ability to transmit audio from the console to the car stereo via Bluetooth.
But right now, if the thought of installing an aftermarket CarPlay system worries you, or that you would like to share CarPlay between a number of vehicles, a hired car, or perhaps a caravan or boat, then this Pro unit from Coral Vision is a much improved plug and play solution to easily get CarPlay in any vehicle.

Once they make it where you can enable Bluetooth from the unit to the car, I’m sold

@CarPlayLife 2 жыл бұрын

I agree 100% Apparently it’s down to how BT transmits and the support each car has to allow BT to work. The BT module does exist that could work with many vehicle BT stereos, but it is expensive, which will push the price of the unit up and make it less appealing.

So in June last year, I bought the original Coral Vision (sadly, it was sold for the same amount as the pro version $350) before you posted this review of the Pro version. It works fine for navigation (Android Auto - Waze) but has a few flaws (1) the settings (including night/day mode, time zone, brightness, and volume) can't be changed from the default settings, so I always have to run it in night mode all the time. (2) the BT hijacks my car pairing with my phone, so preventing me from answering my calls directly from my car's head display, and the only way to stop this is by totally unpairing the Coral with my phone (3) the music menu (Amazon music/Spotify) doesn't keep a record of track history or playlists. (4) no software update (agreed, this might not be possible for any third-party instrument). (5) very noticeable static sound (I always connect via AUX cable for loud sound or to prevent interferences from FM radio stations). Does anyone find some of these problems in this pro version reviewed here? Thank you.

You can see the boot up in the video. But it is faster for sure. CarPlay boots up fast too once paired with the iPhone. More so if you use the cable. I might release the in car demo footage in its entirety. Rather than the silent highlights in this video.

Love your improvement comments, this unit is exactly what I've been wanting but just slightly misses the mark. I think some of the things you've mentioned are the main reasons I can't hand over that much money even though it is so close. Cables out the back are a must or some kind of 2 piece design where the cables are always attached to the vehicle and the display can be dropped in or removed like a Nintendo switch. The charger should just be a double ended usb c cable. And the Bluetooth should be at least 2 input and one output. Or one in and one in or out.

Hey! Thanks for the review!!! Do you think there is a way to circumvent the original charger using a 12v adapter with 2 USB ports, using a USB cable + adapter to power the unit? (not sure if I made myself clear) it looks like you were using some adapter to power the unit on you office ☺️.

@CarPlayLife 2 жыл бұрын

Yes I know what you mean. And I did think this, but after speaking with them, they told me that the power cable has been slightly modified to profiled just over 12V to allow charging from the USB A port and stable functionality for the console. So I didn’t explore trying this method. You can charge and use it with a wall adapter. This is what I use as it also has the correct power IN connector for the console amzn.to/3wArWPS

Nice one 👍🏻 My partner doesn’t remove it from her dash. I guess it depends on your neighbourhood or where you park your car I guess. If you mount it lower down the dash and not on the windscreen it is less obvious/seen for people passing by. I like to think we are passed the days of people breaking in for steeling sat nav displays (which this could look like) where they are better and few on peoples mobile phones.

Thank you for the response. My car is parked on a street at home so I think I will have to remove it when not in use.

@@CarPlayLife I got my unit this morning. It is quite impressive if a tad complex. Nothing that a good bit of reading research can't fix. The attention it got when I installed it convinced me that it has to be removed when you are not in your vehicle. I unscrew the ball joint and the stand will remain in place. I also have opted to mount it using the windscreen. The stand is pretty sturdy so no need to rest the unit on the actual dash surface. I am now looking for a suitable carry case and screen protector. Coral vision are missing a trick. I am most appreciative of you review, but living in the inner cities does present certain challenges to owning such an item. Making potential interested parties aware can and would be appreciated so that a full and more considered assessment can be made. I will provide further updates as my Carplay journey continues.

As long as you have an FM Radio, with or without an AUX input port in your vehicle, you can run this standalone console. It still requires an iPhone to connect to it and run CarPlay, or an Android to connect to it to run Android Auto.

Is it possible to control the device with a car's onboard controls? I know this would require Bluetooth I believe, and the device not having a second connection has me doubting it, unless you could maybe have your phone connected to your cars Bluetooth and have it wired to the unit?

@CarPlayLife 2 жыл бұрын

I recorded a video on looking into this. I got it working with stereo BT connected to the phone to control via the wheel. And enabled CarPlay before this to get content from the same iPhone on screen. The downside is audio is going to stereo and not via the CarPlay console, so navigation would occur over the onboard speaker which is a bit quite over music playback, but you do then have wheel controls. I hope that makes sense. If the video I shot makes sense I’ll publish it on the channel.

Hey nice review, i have a quick question though. When the android screen is on while the car engine is not running, and in that situation if we turn the car engine on, the fixed stereo turns off for a few seconds and will turn back on and i am hoping the android screen does the same off and On by default. But when the Android screen turns back On after we start the engine, will the screen again take like 25 seconds to boot up or will it just be ready like the default stereo does?

How does this hook up with the reversing camera?. I read it turns to camera view when it detects when you go into reverse gear. How does it detect this? Is there some type of connection for you to do for that to work? Can you show what is required to make this work please? Thanks

@CarPlayLife Жыл бұрын

So I’ve not tried this myself because I don’t want to cut into wires of a new’ish car. But you have to splice into the power cable of the reverse light cable. So once you go into reverse it detects the power going to the light and this current triggers the reverse camera feed. I couldn’t mimic this without a voltage machine to mirror the current to trigger the camera. So that’s why I couldn’t show it in action.

If I want to listen to the FM channels on my car's radio while navigating using the console, can my radio still play my desired FM channels if I connect the console to the car using Aux cable? And will the navigation app sound come out from the console or the car's speakers?

@CarPlayLife 2 жыл бұрын

you can run the console and FM together, the audio from the console will only come through FM or AUX, and only when the stereo is toggled to the connection you have the console outputting audio to. If Aux is used unless the stereo is switched to AUX you won't hear navigation on the console. The best-case scenario for that is to listen to FM music and turn FM and AUX off on the console and have the console speaker give you navigation sound.

I’m no expert at this but an installer should be able to give you better advice.

The cable will need to be a 12v power line though at least.

@@CarPlayLife Thanks, I just want to compare it to some aftermarket screens you get on the bmw 1 series in terms of how fast the processor is, the resolution of 600p is better then most of the widescreen bmw aftermarket units which are 480p. Hopefully in the future they are able to make 720p or 1080p with the widescreen 10” or 11” display 🤞

Can it be powered via USB or does it have to be powered via the cigarette lighter?

@CarPlayLife 2 жыл бұрын

It is quite power hungry so lighter socket is the most universal way to get that amount of power. Most car USB ports are not powerful enough to drive something like this.

it would be nice if the port were on the back of it … aka better wire management also… why wouldn’t they have another usb port on the power adapter itself

@CarPlayLife 2 жыл бұрын

I believe they will be doing better cable management in new future updates of this product. As for no USB port on the adapter. I agree it should have. Maybe it’s needs all the power from the 12v port and can’t show any more output from that adapter. You do have one on the display you can use but that’s more messy cables 🙃

That's possible. The experience isn't quite the same. But certain countries are beginning to crack down on using mobiles or even interacting with them whilst stationary on the road, for now, CarPlay is an acceptable way to interact with your iPhone in an environment that's safe for you and others whilst driving, with a display and interface that's tailored for driving too.

Why do they continue to have all the wires connecting into the side looks a mess. Good idea in theory but needs a hell of a lot of redesigning.

@CarPlayLife 2 жыл бұрын

That's true. It was due to the power module, apparently, and it would make the display thicker if it came out the back, but I think that would have been acceptable. Some other brands have tackled this on theirs. I am sure we will see this addressed in newer future models.

Today it does. But this was one of the first to release so it’s rather dated now. Working with car system BT has been a real challenge apparently. Even those that say they come with BT audio don’t work on the car BT audio systems that I’ve tried it with. So that’s why we’ve not seen it commonly used still today.
