Carpuride W903 9.3”Wireless Carplay & Android Auto with Dash Cam

The reversing camera on our old MPV failed recently. Rather than simply replacing it with a new dedicated reversing camera and screen unit, we decided to try the W903 as it offered front and rear dash-cam functionality, but also android auto. The 'wide screen' layout of the W903 was another consideration as the relatively compact dimensions mean that it doesn't really intrude into the drivers field of vision. Installing the unit can be very quick & simple if you choose to use the cigarette socket for power with 'loose' wiring. This method makes it easy to move from car to car as required. I elected to hide the all the wiring under the dashboard for a (slightly) more OEM appearance. On request, Carpuride also provided me with a boot logo image for my car to add a little to the OEM look. Routing / concealing the rear camera wiring was the most time consuming, but worth the effort I think. I bought a 2 meter extension cable for the rear camera wiring as my car is quite long. The cable is a generic 4 pin type and readily available. It is possible to calibrate the reversing guide lines for the rear camera to match the width of the vehicle and the distance to any obstructions. The built-in voice commands to turn the screen on/off work well for me, but it ignores my wife's attempts at voice instructions (I do too at times). Although I rarely play music in the car, I connected the W903 into the car audio system via the AUX socket and it provides decent enough sound. For me, the ability to have Google Maps on the larger screen of the W903 is probably the most useful feature of android auto. The main reason for purchase was to have a reversing camera function and it does this well enough. The camera is mounted on the inside of the rear hatch. I connected the trigger wire to the reversing light circuit and the rear camera operates immediately when reverse is selected. It can also be requested via the voice commands, but you don't get the reversing guide lines if you activate it this way. I suspect the unit can actually do more than I want from it, but thus far I've been very satisfied with my new unit.

Don’t have this specific product anymore as I returned to buy the bigger screen model, but this one was perfect as well. Easy to install, easy to use, good value for money considering the price of newer cars just to get the built in CarPlay feature, and very good functionality and connectivity options. Good brightness and picture quality, best audio connection through FM radio, good quality picture on the dash cam. The main thing I liked about this one over the model I bought and now use is this dash camera is centered which I preferred. Didn’t install the rear camera but it’s a good little size and connects up through the reverse light. But in summary, good priced product to bring an older car into the 21st century.

Phenomenal for the price. Been using this for 18 months or more, it’s a fantastic addition to a Land Rover Defender (not the hairdresser one). Uploaded a splash screen logo, works CarPlay beautifully and, well. It just works. Wired into the stereo Aux, audio quality is grand. Dash cam would benefit from GPS & speed. Occasionally crashes in CarPlay BUT I think that’s the dash cam function causing it. Reset the settings and memory card and it’s fine for a long time. ** Update: June 2026: ** 2 Years in and I decided to tackle the crashing issue. Carpuride support have been super helpful and when the downloaded firmware didn’t upload, they posted me a CF card with the update primed and ready to upload. That’s above and beyond by any standard - so impressed and totally not what I expected. Great experience so far and it remains and outstanding piece of kit.

On the plus side, this screen starts up fast and easy to customise. Helps with navigation and it is less likely that you are going to touch your phone. I can't comment on the front camera, because I don't use that function but the rear camera works well and the guide lines can be calibrated digitally. On the down side, the screen is not as high resolution as what you are probably used to, on your devices but totally usable. The sound quality is a bit boxy but when you connect to your car stereo, it doesn't matter. The only thing I struggled with is suction. It's light but still a big screen. The suction pad didn't stay on the dash, there is a disk with soft glue but that didn't stay on either. The safest one is suction on the windscreen but it could be partially blocking your view on the road as the telescopic arm is not long enough. (KIA Sportage) Currently it is sitting on the short holder, which is fixed to dash with a double tape but I'm not sure what would happen to it if there was an emergency brake or collision. I will have to find a longer arm and stay with the windscreen.

I have been using this product for around seven months now and overall, I’m quite happy with it. I mainly use it for navigation and really like the screen size. The dashboard mount sticks very well, although I wouldn’t recommend the suction mount as it can obstruct the view through the windscreen. The video quality is good and the system is easy to navigate. However, the brightness can sometimes be difficult to see in very sunny conditions due to screen reflections. I really like the FM transmission feature as the audio output is loud and clear. However, I’m only giving this product 2 stars because the 12V cigarette charger stopped working after just seven months of use. I now have to use a separate cigarette charger and a USB-C cable to power the device, which means I can no longer use the FM transmission and charge my phone at the same time. That has become quite frustrating, and I didn’t expect the charger to fail so quickly after only seven months!

Was really pleased with this item, until now,, looks great, impressive in fact. Now I need to send some recorded data what a complete nightmare. Spoke to support they more interested in the Amazon order number, tomorrow I will buy a proper dash cam. Not so great when needed most, if it’s dash cam your looking for, look elsewhere.

Original Review: I am using a Google Pixel 10 (Android), and it keeps disconnecting from this device! I have tested my phone, and it works fine with all other devices. I have updated all the software on my Google Pixel 10, but there have been no improvements. I have updated all the firmware on the device, but there are no improvements. I have formatted the device back to factory settings, but again, there are no improvements. This product is completely broken for the Android Google Pixel 10, and by looking at other reviews, it has been an ongoing issue, but it has still not been fixed! Avoid this product if you're an Android user.

A quality, classy product, but dash mounting bracket (as supplied) would not comfortably fit my Ford B Max, so had to return.

Bra grej för mc ,synd att den är inte kompatibel med min mc (trodde att den kan visa varvtal och hastighet).

5 estrellas, mi esposa tiene un se tira 2017 y está muy feliz parece carro del año, tiene su CarPlay que funciona perfecto la pantalla tiene muy buena sensibilidad y el micrófono funciona muy bien para Siri incluso escuchando música fuerte, lo que más me sorprendió fue que las cámaras están grabando todo el tiempo!! Si algún día tiene algun percance tenemos pruebas y se distinguen placas a la perfección, excelente compra

Très belle ecran lumineux et très claire ! Avec très bon tactile, très fluide et caméra filme vraiment super bien La seule chose négative est le micro qui est trop faible pour les appels, les gens entendent mal Donc dans les réglages il est mieux de ne pas sélectionner pour les appels et de laisser connecté a la voiture mais pour le reste il est vraiment top, google maps et Waze !

De prijs-kwaliteitverhouding is uitstekend, gezien de uitgebreide accessoires. De achteruitrijcamera is momenteel niet aangesloten, aangezien dit enige tijd en expertise vereist. Mijn Samsung Galaxy S23+ functioneert probleemloos in combinatie met het apparaat. Onlangs heb ik een update van het apparaat willen uitvoeren en contact opgenomen met [email protected]. De ondersteuning was uitstekend, met name gezien mijn gebruik van een Mac in plaats van Windows. Na het ontvangen van een downloadbestand dat specifiek voor Windows bleek te zijn, en na mijn melding hiervan, werd er direct een SD-kaart toegestuurd zonder bijkomende kosten. Daarnaast is er een nieuwe zuignap kosteloos verzonden, nadat de originele niet meer naar behoren functioneerde. Het pakket werd binnen anderhalve week geleverd, inclusief track & trace informatie. De verzending verliep via DHL. Deze positieve ervaring wil ik graag delen, gezien de uitzonderlijke service en klantgerichtheid die ik heb ervaren!

I bought this so I could add CarPlay to Ram 1500 2017. When I got it, I plugged it into the truck to make sure it worked. I paired it to my phone, which was incredibly easy. When I knew it worked, I took some of the dash of the truck apart, put a hole in the bottom of the storage compartment near the 12 V socket so I could run the wires up Behind the screen of the truck out of the top and from there, I made a small plastic flat surface to be able to mount the Carpuride on. I can’t stand wires loosely, hanging all over the place and getting in the way, that’s why I chose to route the wires beneath the console and up behind the radio. When it was all done, the Carpuride was mounted nicely with the mount that was included in the box. From the driver seat and the passenger seat the screen looks like it was meant to be there. It up immediately when the truck is started and the phone pairs With the truck in under 15 seconds. If you have been playing music when you last turned your vehicle off, it will start playing that music when you get back in. I am extremely satisfied with this unit. It’s very responsive. And as a bonus, it has a button on the top to turn the screen off if you don’t wanna look at it at night. Also, it has screen dimming so if you wanna leave it on all the time, it will dim down to one percent brightness or up to 100% brightness, depending on the situation. Carpuride customer service is excellent. I emailed them about making a custom boot screen so that it would say ram 1500. When I started the car they immediately sent me back the instructions on how to do this. I will post a follow up video of what it looks like when it’s all done. One other thing, it also has a built-in dash cam if that’s something you’re interested in. I have absolutely no interest in using a dash cam but it automatically starts recording the minute it boots up so it’s there if you need it. Highly recommended
