How we score

We score each thing that comes up most in owner feedback on the 9" Wireless Apple Carplay Screen. Seven things come up most in owner feedback: all seven draw praise. Its ratings average 4.4 stars (75% five stars, 8% four, 6% three and 11% one or two), so every score starts at 88, that average on a 100 point scale. Where opinion is split, we take off 6. Where it draws mostly complaints, we take off 12. Then we read eight owner reviews in full (every one we found gave it four or five stars) and move the score up to 5 points either way depending on how the owners who mention it rated the product. Our overall score starts from the same 4.4 star average and loses 0.1 for each thing that draws mostly complaints, with 0.1 more when at least a tenth of ratings are one star, never more than 0.3 in all. Nothing comes off here, so it stays at 4.4. Read our editorial standards

Most buyers report quick wireless pairing, a genuinely useful screen size for navigation and music, and an installation that doesn't require touching the original stereo - a common theme is that it makes an older car feel noticeably more modern for relatively little effort. Opinion is less settled on the physical install: the bundled dashboard mount may be a weak point for some, and the backup camera needs wiring into the reverse light circuit that not everyone is equipped to do themselves.

1. Choose a mounting position

   Pick between the two included mounts and test-fit the unit on the dash before committing to adhesive or a permanent bracket. A mount that looks secure dry can still shift once the car is moving, so checking the fit against the dash's actual curve first avoids having to buy a replacement mount later.

2. Power the unit

   Plug the unit into the cigarette lighter socket for power, which is what makes the install plug-and-play rather than requiring access behind the factory stereo. Route the power cable away from pedals and the steering column so it cannot catch on a foot or the wheel while driving.

3. Pair the phone over Bluetooth and WiFi

   Connect an iPhone for wireless Apple CarPlay or an Android phone for Android Auto; the unit uses both Bluetooth and WiFi to complete the pairing. Keep the phone's Bluetooth and WiFi on and the phone within a few feet for the first pairing, since later connections are meant to happen automatically once this initial pairing is saved.

4. Choose an audio output

   Decide whether to route sound through Bluetooth to the car's own speakers, the unit's built-in speakers, FM transmission, or a direct AUX cable, depending on what input the factory stereo offers. A direct AUX connection generally gives a cleaner signal than FM transmission, which can pick up interference on crowded frequencies.

5. Wire the backup camera (optional)

   If installing the rear camera, run the 700 cm cable from the dash to the rear of the vehicle and tap into the reverse light wiring so the camera activates automatically in reverse. This step may involve drilling into the trunk, so anyone unfamiliar with 12V wiring may want a shop to handle this part rather than leaving the camera unconnected.
