As an owner of Porsche Cayenne, certainly I love to drive it. The only thing that annoys me is there is no Carplay function in the radio system. After a period of consideration, I decided to get an aftermarket touch screen Carplay radio to replace the original stereo.
Which Aftermarket Radio I Purchased?
You can find that there are various radio head units online, causing difficulties on which one should be chosen. If you want the best one, you have to spend lots of time to compare their prices, quality, functions, warranty and more.
Finally, I got the Carplay radio system from HUAFEI. Let’s take a look at the new radio.
- Built-in Carplay/Android Auto – Why I want this function mightily? Once you apply the Carplay, the radio acts as your phone, you can use phone applications freely and conveniently on the radio screen, such as phone map, phone music, contact books etc.
- A 9-inch Big Screen – The mobile phone screen is bigger, the TV screen is bigger, I should also have the big screen in my dashboard. That makes me see information super clearly. On the other hand, it’s also super easy to operate.
- Connecting Backup Camera – Will you be able to park car well just with the help of the front mirrors? The new radio makes car parking easier and safer. After connecting backup camera, the radio is able to display images to show rear situations clearly, assisting you park the car quickly.
- Watching 1080P Videos – The fact is watching videos on big screen is a perfect experience. On one hand, you can insert a USB memory card to play videos. On the other hand, you can connect WIFI to access the Internet to watch Youtube videos or movies online at 1080P resolution.
There are other useful functions you can have, such as navigation, Bluetooth call, FM/AM radio etc. All help improve your driving experience.
