Built-In Dash Cam, Apple CarPlay, Rearview Camera FOR LESS | Seicane better than Carpuride?

First - AutoMotivate, thank you for your video - For those considering purchasing this unit - I've purchased one of these Seicane Dashcam/Apple Carplay units, and have installed it in my car. I would say, I have very mixed feelings. After the initial few days of playing with the unit, powering it from the cigarette lighter power, I opted to hardwire it using the provided 3A power adapter. Pretty straight forward install, and I KNOW I've installed it correctly. So here is my feedback: 1. The units feels solid to touch and the display has a good appearance and feel. I like the IDEA of this product, but it has several flaws! 1. even if you mount it sold, it still shakes while you're driving. I fixed this shaking by building a simple block on my 3D printer and stuffing it between the display and the mount from the back (so you don't see it from the front). 2. Audio pass through quality sucks! I've connected my iPhone wirelessly to the Seicane unit, and from there, there is a cable going from Seicane to my car stereo through the Aux input. Comparing the pass through quality to simple direct bluetooth connectivity to my car stereo, I would say Seicane quality is awful. I am willing to tolerate 1 and 2, but then there is 3. Every time I turn off my car, and turn it back on again, I have to do a hard power down on the Seicane unit (holding the power button at the top of the unit for a few seconds), then power up the unit!!! To me, this is the deal breaker! This brings me to 4. AWFUL tech support!!! I've reached out to Seicane, and they have responded quickly (within 24 hours), BUT the quality of support is really really really BAD! After a few emails going back and forth, they came back with requiring me to do a firmware upgrade. I have no problem with this, BUT the documentation they have provided and the video makes you laugh and cry at the same time! First of all, everything is in Chinese (at least all the important stuff). They have also provided an .mp4 video to download, which is supposed to help! The video is absolute utter rubbish! I am really disappointed with Seicane!

Love your video.. straight forward..On point..easy to understand..

Love the front camera

I've used this for 6 months now on my 2007 Toyota Camry. You are 100% right, for the money, it is insane value and the dash cam quality is actually pretty damn good if you have the 4K model like I have (some sellers also sell a 1440p model).

Will you please show how you connect the backing camera?

Thank you for the video- Can it play youtube videos with your carplay from the phone ?

good video, what model is your mercedes?

I bought the same. But some how it keeps shutting down when it starts recording. Does yours does that as well?

Can you tell if it is possible to update the firmware?

Can you Bluetooth unit to car if your car has Bluetooth build in?

Inside the software on the main menu, is that an white Alpine A110 car ??

Does it come with a windshield mount?

I have one of these but there is a problem, every time i turn car off i lose time date and other settings... very anoying

Nice video and device. But why there are flashing lines when you turn to the front camera?

I have a 2019 Ram and the Bluetooth connection takes forever AND you have to hit a physical button on the factory screen to change from radio to Bluetooth input every time the truck starts. Does using AUX solve that issue? In other words, would the stock stereo instantly switch to aux instead of radio without any user input?

I was thinking about getting the exact same screen, but i was wondering if the screen is bright enough to see the map in the sun? Or does the screen have an anti glare coating?

Just got one. Is the FM audio supposed to be of atrocious AM quality, or did I get a bad unit? I have a cheapo audio-only BT-FM transmitter that sounds pretty good, so I know it's not my setup.

10.26" 4K 2160P Video Record Car Dashcam DVR Support Wireless Carplay BT FM WiFi is this the same as yours.

Hi, are there any better quality units that give you Apple CarPlay like this where you can just stick it on your dashboard or something, and plug it into the aux or USB or even Bluetooth of your existing car stereo? I have a Ford with Bluetooth and aux and USB, I can control the phone side on my iPhone alright to make and receive calls hands free but it doesn’t have CarPlay and the audio integration is rubbish.

if i use the fm transmitter, will i be able to use apple car play and play music through my phone to my car speakers? my 2002 toyota camry doesn’t have bluetooth or aux input
