Universal Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto Display - LAMTTO

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto have become the standard for in car entertainment, but if you have an older car, it might be impossible to use your phone safely. This is where the LAMTTO 10" Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto unit comes into place. This, what looks like, just a screen allows your phone to connect via bluetooth and then stream the audio to your car via AUX or an FM transmitter. This means you can use your phone's built in maps or listen to music without even having to take it out of your pocket. Your phone will automatically connect to this device and then all audio will be sent over to the car. with the FM option, it works on ANY car as long as it has an FM radio, which should be all cars from the last 50+ years! You can literally add Wireless CarPlay to your 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s cars and modernize them for daily use.

I wish mainstream audio manufacturers likes pioneer, kenwood, start making one of these

My 2001 Tacoma has been a bit envious of my wife’s new UX’s Apple play. This solves that problem!

This makes 1991-2013 cars gold if we had this audio systems. Very awesome solution....

This type of unit really could use better cable management. There’s no reason they couldn’t use angled connectors for example, rather than having the cables poke out to the side like that.

I love this new trend, so much safer to have this in the car rather than using the phone

Bought one. It's perfect.

Set it up at home, had it connected to a USB-C power brick, it would not power on. Then put it in a USB-C 12V which then was connected to a portable power station, and it powered on. Setup was quick, took less than five minutes to get wireless Apple CarPlay working. I took the brackets it came with and took the windshield mount ball bracket off and jerry-rigged a contraption of my own so that I can take it off and remove it easily when not in use.

The only thing I think is an issue is that when you plug it into the auxiliary port in the car shouldn't all of the sound come through the car speakers? It sounds like there's still sound coming from the unit. Otherwise, it's fantastic. Wish I had done this when it came out!

I wanted to keep the historical number plates, so I wasn't able to change the stereo on my old Supra. I bought it with Amazon Prime Day deal for 98$ (convered to USD from my local currency) and it works quite well. Car Play took a bit to connect at first but it was almost instantly after first setup. Android Auto 10 (the latest release from 5 days ago) was connecting almost instanty and later on it was working well but I had to connect it manually via settings on my S23 Ultra, Sony Xperia and Samsung Galaxy Tab S7, which I used for navigation and multimedia control via 12v bluetooth fm transmitter, since it was amazing with the Car Launcher app and zip tied to my glove box.
I'm currently working on a Audi A6 C5 V8 S-Line Quattro project car and since I don't want to deal with the 2din adapters to replace stock Audi Cassette&CD 2din like radio and also save 90$ on can adapter in order to use the new Audi RS6 steering wheel with multimedia controls, I purchased a second one a day later for the same money and I cant wait till it gets delivered tommorow.
Definitely a good way to save yourself with all the adapters and plastic removal.
The size is also perfect. Not too small, not too big.

Also, if you're on Android and some app isn't supported on Android Auto, you can make it compatible with certain app but it requires you to have root/jailbreak on your android phone and Xposed module support. It's called XLauncher Unlocked v2.0.1, can be downloaded from xda developers forum and since I'll be upgrading the Xperia to a S20 Ultra for my work.
Currently on my Xperia, I made an App called Clever Tanken compatible with Android Auto since I don't want to overpay on gasoline while traveling through germany to different country and this allows me to compare all the gas station prices and show me the cheapest one in my area.

The radio display in my 2016 nissan doesn't display at times.
The car is paid for so I don't care.
This device is now an option for me.
Excellent review, thanks.

ATTENTION!!! Guys do not use their original mount that blocks your view driving. I bought 2 heavy duty magnet phone holder that attaches to your AC vent in that way and stick my wireless carplay to it. And won’t block your view and to avoid accident.

I got this same one a couple months ago. It works well for what it is. I do wish I did some more research on similar devices. I see some competing models that have steering wheel controls that can strap on the wheel. I think if one has an auxiliary input for a reverse camera, it could be handy for that purpose as well.

I happen to have an older style mount for cellphone/tablet that actually bolts to the passenger seat rail, and I decided to that instead to mount this directly in front of my car's head unit. I do actually like it below the dash, as it is easier to reach to adjust brightness etc.

For me the main drawback of the 12V to USB C adapter is that it's rather large. My cigarette lighter outlet is directly behind the stick shift and gets in the way of gear shifts. I ended up having to get a low profile 3A USB C adapter

Overall, it is a fair value for the price.

Been looking for different ways to run car dash apps. This will work nicely for stand alone gauges.

Universal steering wheel controls are an must have for any android without dedicated sound adjustment buttons

[snakeye]

This would be a great Garage internet radio idea

[tmwei]

It is understandable not sticking the unit over the passenger side airbag because if the airbag is deployed the airbag will throw the unit towards the passenger but where you have it placed is no better because it sits right on top of where the airbag would open. So if the airbag deploys it will open up right below the unit and throwing it towards the passenger anyway.

How do you stop it from potentially overheating when in direct sunlight?

Awesome Video I’ve Been Looking For Something Like This Thanks

Does Apple 'Wireless' carplay come with major latency issues? Is there a way to directly connect your iPhone device to this?

[davidlarson]

The audio and power could have come through the Type C cable.

[nicoargca]

People this is very important: I can confirm this is one of the few units that can also stop receiving Bluetooth audio and it allows for your phone to send it to your cars Bluetooth connection on your head unit.
