Would like to buy a CarPlay head unit

I was looking at those big screen Ebay units:

does anyone have any advice?

  1. My model of MX-5 is: NC1 2006__
  2. I’m based near: Westminster
  3. I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: car radio__

Not bad. Will you struggle to see the screen with the roof down like most of us do?

Accessing the hazard switch in an emergency could be a problem as the unit is rather tall :man_shrugging:t3:

In my opinion, leave that where it is “on eBay”.
Surely you would spend more time looking at that OTT screen than actually looking where you are going.
As others said with the roof down it would make it even harder to see.
I’am all for a small Apple car play screen addition as just put a 7 inch one in my Volvo for maps (even though have built in satnav)in the main.
Absolutely your choice though. :slightly_smiling_face::+1:

You’ve asked for advice…… I have used this type of ad but only for cheap items. The seller gives Glenfield UK as their location but when you click on seller contact information it comes up as Guangdong China.
My concern would be dealing with a seller in China if you received a faulty item or if it fails during its guaranty period. Just saying!

I’d take a look (I haven’t) on AliExpress for similar. I know if you have trouble it’s a decent system (very good) to return and refund stuff, especially your first orders. I’ve ordered three separate items from there, it’s from China but pretty quick delivery, around 7-10 days.
