Amazon has cut a premium portable wireless CarPlay / Android Auto car stereo to a new all-time low, dropping it by 44% to just $44 (down from $79). This is such a great deal that it's a no-brainer to give your car's infotainment system an upgrade, especially if your vehicle didn't come with CarPlay or Android Auto from the factory. See at Amazon For $44, this 7-inch HD touchscreen stereo brings modern connectivity to any car, truck, van or even RV. The unit is compatible with any vehicle that has a standard 12V to 24V power supply so you do not need to worry about compatibility or complicated installations. You do not need to tear apart your dash or mess with your vehicle's original radio: just use the included adjustable self-adhesive mount and stick the screen to your dash. The mount also has a 90-degree flexibility adjustment which allows you to put the screen at the perfect angle and remove it easily whenever you want.

The camera provides a good rear view of your vehicle and can be adjusted by up to 180 degrees for the best angle.

Temu Apple CarPlay adaptor review
Price: £27.84 £27.84 Rating: 4.5 stars 4.5 stars Contact: Adding the latest connectivity is one of the biggest reasons drivers give for wanting to upgrade their cars to a newer model. We are used to the functions of our smartphones and love having the same apps to navigate and stay in touch while we are on the move. Advertisement - Article continues below But is it possible to upgrade you current car to have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto for less than the price of half a tank of fuel? Online retailer Temu is offering various windscreen and dash-mounted devices at prices that seem suspiciously good value for money. We tried one of the cheapest and were amazed at the quality and functionality. The NHOPEEW Portable Car Stereo Wireless Carplayer costs just £27.84, yet features a seven-inch colour touchscreen that connects quickly to your phone via Bluetooth, plus has good graphics resolution and less lag than some systems in brand-new cars. To connect it to your car, you either use an Aux-In cable (which is supplied) or the built-in FM transmitter, which will transmit to a vacant frequency and you tune in via your car's radio. The cable option is the more reliable, but the transmitter works well enough if your car doesn't have an aux socket. There is also a built-in speaker, but it – and the microphone for Bluetooth calls – aren't really up to the job. As a quick and easy way to upgrade an older car to modern tech, this is astonishing value. Now discover the best wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto adapters here ...
