MINIX [2025 Fully Laminated Screen] 60fps Portable Wireless Carplay Car Stereo 8.9 Inch 1920 * 720 HD Touchscreen for Carplay&Android Auto Car Stereo Receiver Supports Steering Wheel Controls

Installation was trivially easy in my 2016 4Runner and setup was similarly easy to connect with my Google Pixel 6 phone running Android 14 (and updated to Android 15). It feels and looks like a quality product and is good at what it does. The mounting hardware works well for me. On startup connection is usually fast and the first time, although it sometimes needs a couple of attempts (when connection fails the phone tells me that, yes it is connected to the Minix box). Streaming music via the Sirius/XM app works very well. After finding the problems described below I updated the firmware to the latest 0.0.9 version, which is easy if you have a thumb drive with a USB-C connector.So far: Excellent!EDITThe problems described below have been resolved. I posted a request for help on the vendor's support forum and received a speedy response (thanks Ken!). They arranged for the device to be collected by FedEx and returned to them in Hong Kong. The replacement device (pre-tested by the vendor and sent directly from Hong Kong) works correctly and I'm very pleased with it. Full marks for the device and the support.---old review included for completeness - these problems have been resolved---I did find a couple of problems, though - and you might find them significant:When I wake Google Assistant with a key phrase ("Hey Google") the expected "Hi! How can I help" window pops up, but there is no further response to voice commands. The window can also be displayed by touching an on-screen microphone button, but it's similarly non-responsive. So I can't (for example) get a response to "Hey Google, navigate to home"). The small window can be dismissed by touching elsewhere on the screen, or it will eventually timeout. I've contacted the vendor's support forum and they've been responsive - posting a video of this working fine on their Android phone (an old Note 9) but no resolution yet for me. When I connect my phone to another car with built-in Android Auto the same voice commands work correctly, so I'm thinking the problem is in the Minix box.Also: During navigation the voice turn prompts from Google Maps only come from the phone - not from the Minix box or from the car stereo which is connected by Bluetooth. Music on the stereo is correctly muted during the prompt. This also works correctly when the phone is connected to a different Android Auto device.

Bought this for my husband so his newly obtained old pickup would have some of the features of our newer car. It works well - and was easy enough that he could set it up quickly. And he is not a tech-friendly person. Nice product.

This is great. Easy to set up, responsive, allows for audio through the cars speakers. The only issue is brightness. You can change the brightness in settings but it then reverts to a dimmer setting automatically. I assume this is due to the ambient light sensor. If they can release a firmware update to fix this, it will be a five star product.(Note: It fits perfectly in the recessed screen area of my 2012 Pilot, which is awesome. But, this placement may be exacerbating the brightness issue by always being in a shadowed location)

Clear display that responds as quickly as any tablet I've used. The only issue I've had is when there are multiple wifi/bluetooth signals in the immediate area can sometimes confuse it as to which signal to use. Otherwise it's great. The power cord is long enough to mount the device anywhere in the car's front cabin or for putting the device under your seat to reduce its visibility.

The main thing that isn't clear in the listing is that the 60 fps only applies to CarPlay, not Android Auto.If you are using it just for Apple CarPlay, this unit is fantastic. Connected reliably and quickly, no disconnects, quality was great and the 60 fps looked great.Android Auto, on the other hand, not that great. It would eventually connect, but it took quite a bit longer than CarPlay. Colors are dull and muted.Then, I found that if ever connected to AA to CP, or vise versa, it would require disconnecting bluetooth from the one phone and reconnecting on the other. Normally on cars with wireless CP and AA built-in, you can just do this from the car screen. With this unit, you need to do it all on your phone, which by the time you do that, you negate a lot of the benefits of it being wireless.For me having iPhone and the wife having Android, this was quite an annoyance since we share the same car often. That was the push I needed to return it.So basically, if you have one CarPlay device, great. If you intend to do more than one, awful.

I have owned only this one CarPlay screen, so I don’t have any to compare with it, but it has been amazing so far. The screen is buttery smooth and I haven’t experienced any Bluetooth disconnects or any other tech issues. I’ve had it for a couple of weeks and it’s been flawless so far. The magnet mount is very strong and no issues with the suction cup holding this unit.

I have found the Minix CP89-HD a perfect AV solution for my vintage 2006 Land Cruiser and2011 Lexus 460LS- both of which are apparently among the rare vehicle fraternity for which conversion kits aren't available. Really a simple way to project whatever you carry on your iPhone or Android to a heads up display from the windshield. The closest thing to factory-installed at a sixth or so the price. Icing on the cake, though, was the customer service that accompanied the whole experience. Thanks so much for the advice and help with additional parts, guys!

Easy set up and quick screen response.
