Excellent device and customer support from the vendor
Installation was trivially easy in my 2016 4Runner and setup was similarly easy to connect with my Google Pixel 6 phone running Android 14 (and updated to Android 15). It feels and looks like a quality product and is good at what it does. The mounting hardware works well for me. On startup connection is usually fast and the first time, although it sometimes needs a couple of attempts (when connection fails the phone tells me that, yes it is connected to the Minix box). Streaming music via the Sirius/XM app works very well. After finding the problems described below I updated the firmware to the latest 0.0.9 version, which is easy if you have a thumb drive with a USB-C connector.So far: Excellent!EDITThe problems described below have been resolved. I posted a request for help on the vendor's support forum and received a speedy response (thanks Ken!). They arranged for the device to be collected by FedEx and returned to them in Hong Kong. The replacement device (pre-tested by the vendor and sent directly from Hong Kong) works correctly and I'm very pleased with it. Full marks for the device and the support.---old review included for completeness - these problems have been resolved---I did find a couple of problems, though - and you might find them significant:When I wake Google Assistant with a key phrase ("Hey Google") the expected "Hi! How can I help" window pops up, but there is no further response to voice commands. The window can also be displayed by touching an on-screen microphone button, but it's similarly non-responsive. So I can't (for example) get a response to "Hey Google, navigate to home"). The small window can be dismissed by touching elsewhere on the screen, or it will eventually timeout. I've contacted the vendor's support forum and they've been responsive - posting a video of this working fine on their Android phone (an old Note 9) but no resolution yet for me. When I connect my phone to another car with built-in Android Auto the same voice commands work correctly, so I'm thinking the problem is in the Minix box.Also: During navigation the voice turn prompts from Google Maps only come from the phone - not from the Minix box or from the car stereo which is connected by Bluetooth. Music on the stereo is correctly muted during the prompt. This also works correctly when the phone is connected to a different Android Auto device.

Clear screen with fast response
Clear display that responds as quickly as any tablet I've used. The only issue I've had is when there are multiple wifi/bluetooth signals in the immediate area can sometimes confuse it as to which signal to use. Otherwise it's great. The power cord is long enough to mount the device anywhere in the car's front cabin or for putting the device under your seat to reduce its visibility.

Quality device with small installation issue
I really like this, it works everytime. It's made of good material, looks classy, the operating system is very fluid and smooth. The Bluetooth connects fast and connection is stable, although the adhesive that comes with it gave up twice now, so if you're getting this, think of getting a vent hook or a different way to hang this because the adhesives give up in the summer.

Works just as advertised.
Bought this for my husband so his newly obtained old pickup would have some of the features of our newer car. It works well - and was easy enough that he could set it up quickly. And he is not a tech-friendly person. Nice product.

Great for one CarPlay device, awful for any other use case.
The main thing that isn't clear in the listing is that the 60 fps only applies to CarPlay, not Android Auto.If you are using it just for Apple CarPlay, this unit is fantastic. Connected reliably and quickly, no disconnects, quality was great and the 60 fps looked great.Android Auto, on the other hand, not that great. It would eventually connect, but it took quite a bit longer than CarPlay. Colors are dull and muted.Then, I found that if ever connected to AA to CP, or vise versa, it would require disconnecting bluetooth from the one phone and reconnecting on the other. Normally on cars with wireless CP and AA built-in, you can just do this from the car screen. With this unit, you need to do it all on your phone, which by the time you do that, you negate a lot of the benefits of it being wireless.For me having iPhone and the wife having Android, this was quite an annoyance since we share the same car often. That was the push I needed to return it.So basically, if you have one CarPlay device, great. If you intend to do more than one, awful.

Great product
Absolutely love it! I just need to find a way to get another mount so I can move it from vehicle to vehicle. The main problem I had with it was figuring out how to get it working from my phone and with the car Bluetooth, there is a setting that must be selected before you sync your phone to allow dual Bluetooth.

Two months of sadness and anger
2 months of use. It wirelessly connects about half the time with android s25 ultra. I can turn my cars power off and on to attempt to connect it again after it fails, but i dont always have time to try 3-4 times so i just turn the screen off. Also the adhesive gave up and it fell off my dash. The only good thing i can say is the screen has nice image quality and the response time of the touch screen is quick. Message to the company that makes/distributes this product: please do not spam me with requests i dont want to speak to you.
