I’ve been using these types of AI boxes for several years now, and they’re quite amazing. You can get various types with different features, but these kinds are the “premium” ones and are priced accordingly. This one is the best one that I’ve used so far, and its cost is right about where it should be given its feature set. I had been sticking with one particular company in the past, but its newest generation device isn’t as good as it should be. This one, on the other hand, is perfect.By “Premium”, I mean that this AI box is in all respects a fully-featured Android tablet once plugged into your car. Your entertainment screen will function exactly as if you have a real tablet there instead of a restrictive CarPlay or Android interface.This connects the car using the wired CarPlay protocol, but it has all of the typical tablet features. It has access to the Google Play Store and can load any app that you want onto it. It comes preloaded with a lot of apps already, but if you want to use a Bluetooth OBD reader and an app like Car Scanner to display additional gauges on the screen, it’s simple to do and looks great.The really nice thing about these kinds of boxes is that they have a SIM card slot. Note that the slot on this is a miniSIM, so you may need an adapter to use the microSIM that in most modern phones use. This package comes with a trial SIM card loaded with a small amount of data and a pre-paid plan, but I have a tablet plan with my phone carrier that has unlimited data for $15 per month. This SIM card works perfectly well and was immediately active when I plugged it in, so I have no use for the included SIM card.You can also use your phone as a hotspot if you don’t want to use a SIM card, but this might not be as reliable if you also want to use the wireless CarPlay or Android Auto with the box.When I first started using this box, I saw that it would sometimes restart unexpectedly, but after a couple of drives with it, I realized that it happened in the same location. I believe that what was happening is that when I drive in a spot with a poor cellular signal, the modem increases its power to try to stay connected and the power was browning out. This box comes with a Y cable adapter to be able to use two power sources simultaneously. I’d never needed this with my other AI boxes so I wasn’t using it with this one either, but as soon as I started using the adapter the restarts stopped occurring. I will say that this AI box has a better cellular connection than my other ones, so perhaps it just uses more power and uses a more powerful modem.Once you start using one of these, it’s hard to go without. They make the car’s screen so much more useful, and even the same things like navigation apps look much nicer on this interface.I frequently recommend these to other people who comment on pictures of my cars’ screens on online forums, and right now, this one is at the top of my recommended list. It’s really been a great product so far.
