Plimpton 2026 Carplay for Android Auto Screen for Car, 7'' Touch Screen Wireless Car Play Driveplay Multimedia Player with Backup Rear Camera, Voice Control, FM, Mirror Link

I've been using the Plimpton screen in my Volkswagen Polo, and overall it's been a great upgrade. The display is crisp, the touch response is smooth, and Wireless Apple CarPlay connects quickly. The sound quality is good, and the interface is easy to use. It has given my car a much more premium and modern feel. The only small downside is that the screen is a little reflective in direct sunlight, so you may notice some glare during the day. Apart from that, everything works as expected and the overall experience has been excellent. Considering the price, features, and performance, it's definitely worth the money. I'm satisfied with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality car infotainment system.

Delivery experience: I had originally received an used/open product, still working and not defective, just the seals were open and a few usage scratches on the screen guard. Amazon refused to help me and asked to contact the seller. But the seller was very responsive and sent me a replacement from their end. So, kudos to the seller. Product: The device has completely given my old car a transformation in terms of both functionality and looks inside the cabin. For this price? It's an absolute steal !! And no need to replace the old headunit/stereo of the car. Installation: Pretty easy installation, just like a phone mount. Some people in other reviews said the provided double side sticker is not as powerful but it was pretty powerful for me. Because I tried to remove it as I had left a screw loose in the bottom which helps with the 360 rotation. I had to visit an accessory shop nearby to remove the sticker, tighten the screw and stick back using the same sticker. It still works perfectly fine for me even after reusing it. So, remember to tighten the screw on the bottom after positioning it before sticking on your dashboard !! Device functionality and connections : As for the device itself, it starts up really quick and connects to the phone all within 5-10 secs max. Android Auto connects everytime automatically without issue or lag. Touch screen works really well. The size also fits perfectly for my car. Everything works as advertised. The wide range of connectivity options is pretty useful. I have an old Pioneer head unit/stereo without bluetooth in my car (attached photo taken from above) and since I installed it very close to it, I was not able to use the Bluetooth adapter that I have been using for many years. So, I first connected using the FM transmission option. But since they were so close to each other whenever I tried to adjust the audio on the Pioneer unit, there was frequency interruption causing static sounds. So, I have now used the aux cable to connect it. And I have also used the Pioneer's USB port to power the Plimpton device, so all the wirey mess is hidden and provides a clean look. It says that the power cable they provided is also the FM transmitter, but I did not use it first and used my portronics charger. I left one provided back at home and it worked perfectly fine apart from those random static noises. Turns on and off with the car, so no worries about battery drainage as well. Cons: Only thing I feel as a con is the reflective surfaces of the screen. But you can adjust the angle in a way that it doesn't reflect much anymore. It worked for me. For a product at this price range, this is much more than one could expect. I would highly recommend this to anyone with an old car without touchscreen or a car with touch screen but not Android Auto or CarPlay. Go for it ! You also get upto 720 days extended warranty and lifetime product support.

I installed this on my Ford Figo Freestyle 2019 with the original Ford SYNC system as it doesn't support online google maps. The installation was simple and didn't require changing my factory stereo. Wireless Android Auto connected quickly with my vivo phone, and Google Maps, calls, and music work smoothly. The 7-inch IPS display is bright and responsive even during the day. The device offers multiple audio options (Bluetooth, FM, AUX, and built-in speaker). Within android auto music with bluetooth works very well but when we play the content in memory card bluetooth won't work but the FM transmitter worked surprisingly well and provided clear audio than AUX IN. The USB-C power input is convenient and we can even provide power supply with a quality USB to type-C cable instead of the one given with the product, and the overall build quality feels good for the price. Pros: Fast Wireless Android Auto connection Bright and responsive touchscreen Easy plug-and-play installation Multiple audio output options Good value for money Cons: A compatible 2.5 mm AV adapter is required if you want to connect an external camera. Overall, if you want to add Wireless Android Auto and CarPlay to an older car without replacing the factory stereo, this is a very good product and worth the money

This is exactly what i wanted, works great. I have Tiago with Harman music player, so didn't want to replace anything with lower sound quality. Market is flooded with cheap Chinese players, didn't want to replace Harman with that. My options were the really expensive car stereos or a screen something like this. Although this is similar cheap Chinese option, but it doesn't replace my Harman. So i get to keep the amazing sound quality of stock music player and get android auto to complement that. Coming to the product, the quality is ok, with a few issues evident, but there aren't any other options available and given the price range, these can be ignored. (to mention a few, the screen is flush with the top glass in on side and slight visible gap on the other, the Sticky pad on the stand doesn't really stock on dashboard). I had returned the first unit i received due to this, but the replacement had the same issue but less prominent so i kept that one. The pairing is straightforward and connection takes a few seconds after initial setup. The touch is responsive too, with no noticeable lag. Installation was a little tricky, i cleaned the dash and stick the gel pad given in box, but it came out right away. I had some 3M tape, used that and it didn't came out even with force (the stand was a little misaligned and i tried to take it off to straighten it but it wouldn't). So, if you order this, add a 3M tape also in cart. There is an AUX cable, Power adaptor in the box, you can also use your existing phone charger in your car, mine worked without any issue. Sound output can be through AUX, FM transmitter or inbuilt speaker. You can also use the output to phone and pair phone with car in which case you would be able to use the car stereo. I didn't use the AUX or inbuilt speaker. Function wise, it does the job fairly good, connects quickly and installation is fairly simple. The screen is reflective and you need to align it in such way that you get least glare. Its sometimes hardly visible during day time if there is lots of light from behind due to glare. Also the unit came off from stand twice during my recent trip on bumpy road, again had to use double sided tape to secure it. There should have been a locking mechanism to avoid this but there is not. There is screen mirror function too, which again i didn't use. There are a few other options to change the theme to dark or adjust brightness. You can connect back camera to the screen. Overall, this is a basic AA/Carplay unit with its share of cons, but at this price point and available options, they aren't a dealbreaker. There are multiple options outside india, with much better quality, much more functionality and slightly greater price, but they are not available here. So considering this, its a good deal at the moment.

I’ve been using the Plimpton L1 for a past few months and it’s a total game changer. Setup was easy, and now it auto-connects to my phone automatically whenever I start my car. There's practically zero lag with maps or music, and the device itself is perfect size so it doesn't clutter up the dash. Their customer service is amazing. Support team is very responsive and It's rare to find a product that works this well backed by a company that actually cares about its customers. If you're having and older car this is what you need.

I recently purchased the Plimpton 2025 Portable Auto Screen. As the owner of a 2018 model car, finding a modern navigation and entertainment solution that didn't require tearing apart my dashboard was a huge challenge, this product provides the required solution perfectly. The compatibility is truly exceptional. Sound quality is excellent !!! Easy access to all required function. Size is perfect for my car dashboard. Exceptional volume , It connected seamlessly and immediately, and the fact that it integrates without disturbing the car’s existing standard setup is a major win. The installation was incredibly easy and non-intrusive, which instantly makes this screen worth the price. The 7-Inch IPS Touch Screen is bright, clear, and very responsive. Switching between Carplay and Android Auto is fast, giving me instant, reliable access to maps, music, and hands-free calling. This screen has completely refreshed the driving experience in my older vehicle, bringing it into the modern age without any permanent modifications. If you are looking for a high-quality, fully compatible, and non-permanent solution to add Carplay or Android Auto to your older car, the Plimpton 2025 is an absolute must-buy. Highly, highly recommended!

The Good: Installation is incredibly straightforward, and the device connects to my Android phone seamlessly. The actual GPS navigation works exactly as it should, providing accurate directions and getting me where I need to go. The Bad: The hardware leaves something to be desired. The main display used to pop right off the stand every time my car hit a pothole—it got so frustrating that I eventually had to secure it permanently with Fevikwik. The touch screen responsiveness is also just average; it works, but it isn't exceptionally smooth. Another downside is the power draw. The unit requires a constant connection, and since I only have one power outlet in my car, I have to split it. As a result, my mobile charging speed has dropped drastically. The Bottom Line: Overall, it does a decent job and serves its intended purpose as a navigation tool, but the mounting mechanism and power setup definitely need improvement.

This is one of the easiest upgrades I've made to my car. It's completely plug-and-play, so there was no need to replace the factory head unit or cut a single wire. I simply plugged it into the 12V socket, routed the included long power cable behind the dashboard trim, and the installation was done in minutes. The cable is good quality and easy to tuck away for a clean, factory-like look. The LCD screen is responsive, not OLED, the display is clear, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect quickly and work reliably. Navigation, music, and voice commands all perform as expected. What I like most is that I get to keep all the features of my car's original infotainment system while adding modern smartphone connectivity. It's an excellent solution for anyone who wants CarPlay or Android Auto without replacing the OEM system. Great value for the price, and I'd happily recommend it. A few areas where it could be improved: - This is a CarPlay/Android Auto display, not a standalone navigation unit, so your phone needs to be connected for apps like Google Maps to work. - The overall build quality is decent, but it could feel a bit more premium. - Slimmer bezels would give it a more modern appearance. - Only a double-sided adhesive mount is included. Many dashboards, especially those with a textured finish, don't hold adhesive well for long, so windshield mounting may be the better option. It would have been nice if a suction cup mount was included. I'm also curious to see how the adhesive holds up through peak summer temperatures. Overall, it's a practical, hassle-free upgrade that delivers exactly what most people need without modifying the car and preserving the OG features of the factory ICE. It is portable and fits just fine for most cars.
