Add Wireless Apple CarPlay to Any Car | Carpuride W901 Review

I review the Carpuride W901, a device that allows you to add wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to any car! The Carpuride 901 supports wireless CarPlay, eliminating the need for a physical cable to connect to your iPhone. I also cover the features of CarPlay, including the ability to connect to your smart home devices and predict your next location.

The technology for these devices are getting so much better so quickly. Nice one.

[Itsthekahuna]

Been using our Carpuride CarPlay device for a year now. Really love it, connected to the aux port of our 2016 Honda Odyssey. Makes road trips so much nicer with Waze on a large screen.

for audio i ended up still using the BT connection to my car - that way podcasts/music etc are just direct BT to the car. you can CarPlay wirelessly and still send audio to another BT connection which is nice.

[DuanDao]

Appreciate your thoroughness on this device. A lot of these reviews skip the part about how things are mounted so this is nice

[Hondamaker]

I’ve had my Carpuride for a week now and it’s really nice to have CarPlay again.

[IsaacCloud]

I find it silly that we can't just use an iPad for carplay.

[mikehedrick]

Wow… what a clearly, cleanly done, and informative review!!! ✅

[lucasdrawert]

This review makes me wanna buy one, was thinking of getting an aftermarket radio… but I will reconsider after watching this video 😁

[Airborne_Arty]

Just saw this on Prime Day and this video sold me. Thanks.

[peteandtessTube]

I was very happy to find your video when it was announced that Chevy won’t be including Apple CarPlay in future EV’s. I love my new 23 Bolt with CarPlay but thinking ahead if I get a Trailblazer EV I would still want CarPlay so you have shown me that there will be a viable workaround if/when that happens. Thanks again for a great straightforward and informative video.

[tristan]

Good presentation of this solution, although the display physically jiggling up and down would drive me nuts! But that's just personal preference on how it's mounted. Thanks!

[mojobone]

Very informative video. You pretty much convinced me to go with Carpuride. I would like to mention one little thing though. You say in the video that this kit comes with a CD player mount, which is the method that I want. However, at least with the Amazon package, it is not included and has to be purchased separately. Not a big expense at $12.99. Just thought that others should know this. Thanks for the review !

[menaceflame]

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.

[justplanefred]

I got a different one than this specific model but I was able to do CarPlay and use Waze on the car play screen and just play my music through my Bluetooth stereo so if your stereo has Bluetooth you may want to try that.

[albertoolivoYT]

Awesome video! I had to get an equipment like this for my car too and it’s been awesome 😎. Have you experienced the calendar widget in the Dashboard? If the event has a location, it let’s you jump right in to Maps to get directions. Crossing fingers gas apps like Wawa’s and Shell’s integrate soon so that you can select a station/pump and pay directly from CarPlay and then fill up gas.

[eddiegochenour]

I tried the CD mount for my 2013 Soul but found it was just too bouncy. Also, it covered my reverse camera so I designed and 3D printed my own mount. It’s working much better but still need to make a few more tweaks.

[johnfraser]

I have this head unit and be aware it does not always play nice with Bluetooth in my experience. It will very rapidly connect and disconnect, this stops location Services to load. I have raised it with Carpuride support who did eventually send a newer sw version, but this proved ineffective and the issue remains. I have asked for a return and refund but BE AWARE tgey will onky accept returns if cover all the shipping and customs costs to China. I reside in the UK. I maybe just unlucky but i feel people should know it's not a perfect solution.

[realkoko-loco]

Webull! It’s not a Car Play-specific app, but if you need to see stock prices and don’t want to take your eyes off of the road, it’s helpful!

[argee]

Stephen, Thanks for the review. Ive been wanting Carplay in my F-150 but don't want to install an aftermarket system. Looks like I found my birthday present. Randall in Kentucky.

[numfandmb]

Great video! I got the 7” ESLYYDS car play and I’m having some audio issues with it, both wired and wireless, so I’m switching to the Carpuride! Thank you!
