CarlinKit Ai Box Tbox Plus Multimedia-Adapter mit kabellosem Carplay & Android Auto

Made a cross country trip much easier

Using it with R-link 2 in Renault Talisman.
It is quite good, I installed TomTom Go as I had a subscription for it and it is miles better than Android Auto implementation, as the Tbox lets you install and run apps as full-fledged Android apps.
Pros:
- full Android apps, not castrated Android Auto versions
- option for simcard and sd card
- quite good launcher with a little bit of customisation
- good enough performance
- not bad bluetooth apps for connecting your phone for calls and music
- it can be configured to grab GPS signal from your car, which might be quite a lot better than antenna in the Tbox, as it is external antenna on many cars
My only gripes are:
- strange way it handles bluetooth - it hijacks my car's bluetooth so my phone can connect only to the Tbox, which is not ideal for me, as I would rather the music and calls be handled by the car's head unit
- it hanged few times, but that might be the problem with R-link 2 unit
- it only works good on Carplay protocol - when I changed it to Android Auto it lagged badly - like a second reaction to every touch, again, might be head unit problem
- no information if it will get more Android updates at the time of writing
- no multitouch support (you can't pinch to zoom) on either AA or Carplay protocols (I know that Carplay do not support it, but there is no reason why Android Auto do not have it)
All in all, it is on the expensive side but it really brought back to life my R-link 2 and after using it on quite a few road trips I can recommend it.
If the developer would let me turn off the bluetooth hijacking it would be 5/5 stars for me.

Great accessory for my vehicle. It works well, easy setup and opens you up to plenty of apps. One thing I like to see if possible to have the ability to adjust screen size.

For now is great

Does what is advertised and so easy to use. Love it
