Cheap CarPlay head unit in a Clio 1*2? Here’s an option…?

Might be an idea to keep that screen cleaner than your camera phone one.....

Riz screen is clean, what might not be clean is the lens on my camera phone 👍but thanks for input. Glad you like my idea.

only issue is the mic that ive wired in up to the cabin light has awful feedback so makes the hands free abit problematic.

Is there any option to adjust the input gain in the settings?

So ive actually got a bluetooth CD multi changer emulator that the mic runs off of so has no settings that im aware of, i did think it was a cheapo mic so do have a better branded one to attempt to swap over and see if that sorts it out in some way. Will create my own post with the full break down and bits used, and the niggles 😂

Any idea how the top dash mounted displays cope in warm weather? Just wondering that in the summer months when it 25C+ and your car is sat parked up in the sun, are these units likely just to die a quick death?

Oh, and with anything like this - a pack of these along with some trim removal tools are an absolute god-send. I can't imagine the rage I would have had in trying to pass cables around the back of the dash without them.

Trying to achieve something similar, Been in the process of fitting this, with a few adaptations to make it hardwired, and look part of the dash, no wires etc. whilst retaining the orginal headunit, and controls. only issue is the mic that ive wired in up to the cabin light has awful feedback so makes the hands free abit problematic. Still working my way through attaching it against the orginal display screen, looking at some plastic welding with a ball joint as an anchor point etc to attach the screen to .View attachment 1629413

Which unit is that?

Which unit is that?

Sorry for the delay. Link here Some top drive/ top road or something similar one from ali express but it specifically had dual-band Bluetooth. From my searches its one of the only at an alright price sub £200 this was around a year ago so something new might be out now that's bit more stylish/powerful/priced better etc
