what's up guys so for those of you
looking to buy a universal Smart screen
for your old car or a car does that does
not have it or if it has it it is not
latest like it does not have Apple
carplay or Android it so there are
multiple options there this is one of
them this is made by pfu a brand that
specializes in smart cars but makes them
in a more budget friendly way so for
example this one it has carplay Android
auto 1080p camera reverse visibility
like I think there would be an option if
not camera included wireless Bluetooth
in case your phone does not support
Android auto or carplay you can still
connected with wireless Automotive
specification chip like a good chip and
if my understanding is correct this will
have Android install as well so you can
with the Play Store you will be able to
install the apps as well so let's check
it
out it is uh if I'm correct this is a
model number by the way BYO and I think
it should be 10 in I'm not completely
sure but it is my understanding that it
should be around 10
in the top we have the
screen uh with the stand already
attached and it does have a back camera
on the back what else do we
have okay we have this W wiring for the
back
camera we have this long cigarette
lighter to type-c
Cable this is for GPS we obviously it
will support GPS why not what is this
for this is aux
cable finally this is the reverse
camera so the camera is
included and then we have two double
tapes here to install it on your
dashboard and some documentation so
since there were a lot of accessories
let me repeat those for
you we have documentation to double tape
so that you can uh install it on your
dashboard so it doesn't slip away we
have a reverse camera back camera that
you can install an ox cable this is
GPS this is where you will get cable
from like if you have old cars you can
use this cigarette lighter to type c
this is for back camera and
finally you have the 10in
screen let's put everything
aside and just focus
on just focus on the screen itself I
will also connect the reverse camera so
that you guys can actually see it in
action but first let's see the screen
which is the main thing this is 10in
dity okay reattach it maybe not so that
I can show it to you but here this is
you can easily install this one let me
actually show you in action so this you
can change the direction of camera let's
remove the but this lens itself is
really large as you can see yeah you can
give it different angles like see and
then using this you can um screw it up
and it has speakers as well but let me
remove this one
because I want to show you guys so this
will do just fine there was one
protector there is another protector as
well right here it is nice of them to
send it let me show you the ports so we
have type-c Port here a headphone jack
or sorry X Ox here then a SD card this
is for GPS this is again ox and USB port
Ox USB port where is the camera port a
sorry this one the was the camera Port
my mistake this one and this one is Ox
cable these are the ports let me give it
some power so that you can see overall
the build quality seems really solid
like plastic it feels really solid does
not feel cheap in any
way okay let me give it some power so
that you guys can see I'm giving it
power with the power
bank octacore miror Android let's remove
this one as
well now we have the actual
screen right off the bat the screen
itself looks really good quality don't
mind the brightness because you are
seeing it under studio lights once I
will turn off the studio lights the
brightness is more than enough I think
it is as good as for example my Samsung
phone see even with my Samsung phone at
full brightness and see it side by side
you can see has either the same or more
brightness so don't worry about the
brightness it's just the studio lights
that may feel it that you don't have the
good right brightness you have the
Google Store here I haven't signed it in
so obviously it will not work some
applications are already installed let's
see the camera this is the camera let me
put something here so you guys can see
the camera I think it is how does it do
can I change some settings I can insert
the reverse camera as well at the before
any in the video I will show you how
much megapixel this one is it's okay for
the dashboard
honestly bring some
colors it is not focusing somehow at
least not at close distance maybe yeah
much better at longer distance but it
can't focus on at close distance let's
clean it up a bit it is not
focusing but on a longer distance as a
dashboard I'm looking at it
and it looks good colors are good video
quality is respectable but nothing
related to closeup it does not handle
closeup well okay I do have some
settings finish I don't have uh the SD
card so that's also an issue here let's
see record time 1 minute minute then we
have bring it close to you Collision
sensitivity Lock speed unit lens height
adjustment rear view mirror then we have
console camera horizontal freame so
there are a bunch of settings here that
you can adjust then we have audio it is
asking me to insert the SD card which I
don't have and let me insert the rear
view camera as well just you can see
that it's very easy to install it even
you can do it let me show you connect
these two parts let's find the right
direction
there now insert it on this side and
what is going on it working not
detecting it for some
we okay let's
see let me turn off the studio lights as
well so that you guys can see it in it's
full Glory all right you should be able
to see it better now okay where is the
camera camera camera and this is me that
flip Direction this is my camera setup
I'm recording it and this is me you can
see it see so this is the reverse camera
reverse camera is also respectable you
can simple click it and you can see it
on like split view not split view back
camera now we have split view front
camera so these were the cameras now
let's talk about the settings themselves
let me remove we have navigation file
and everything is installed here already
out of the
box we have the Play Store I don't have
it signed in but you can use it let me
go and connect it to wifi wifi then
let's see if brightness is full
brightness and other we have volume FM
level let's see how do I adjust the
Wi-Fi okay if you long press it you can
connect it with a Wi-Fi let me connect
it with my Wi-Fi my camera is having a
hard time focusing it but it is
connected should better now and if I
come here it will ask me to sign in so
screen resolution is 1080P and it for
this small screen the resolution is
really good honestly like really really
good let's see let me connect it with a
carplay to show you here I have
increased brightness iPhone let's
connect it let's
see if I go to Bluetooth and I already
see the caride let me go there in the
settings okay it should show up here
let's see I think this is usually 4
zeros so let's try that one okay it
connected let's see what is happening
here it is all asking me to like connect
to carplay let's connect it already
detected the iPhone so as soon as I
connected it with Bluetooth and entered
the Tetra zero code uh my iPhone
automatically detected the carplay mode
and it has connected it all right so I
have taken some time to learn more about
it read it settings and everything right
now it is in carplay mode as you can see
it loads up a control music map from the
left you also see the uh IM message and
music icons here you can go to settings
and change the wallpaper and other
things here settings messages all the
things are here and if you want to exit
you can go here or come back so it is
not something like you need to stay here
it's more like this is an option that
you have so you have uh carplay
connected attend calls make calls and if
we go back I think if you long press
this home icon it should bring up Siri
hey how are you doing hi there see so
you can talk to your assistant and ask
it to make calls so let's go back to
home through the exit I want to show you
some other settings so you have a output
in this you can actually select like
right now it is in Bluetooth projection
mode like you can connect phone with it
and play sound this blet projection
actually sorry Bluetooth projection mode
is in which the your phone is
interacting with the screen then you
have the Bluetooth transmission mode mod
in which you want to send the music to
it so okay go back where did it go so
the different audio modes right now it
is selecting a native audio you can also
change it to Ox mode or FM audio uh so
Ox mode is in which you want to transfer
the audio of this screen directly
through the speakers of your car so for
that you will use Ox mode FM mode is
also for audio output in which you will
transmit the audio to through FM signal
to your car this is very f key1 like you
have to uh set the channel or frequency
or FM of your car to the same one as you
will set in here and then they will
start working together you have the
Bluetooth transmission mode and
Bluetooth projection I a little bit
confused but one of them means that you
are using your phone to actually uh why
does it keep connecting again you you
will use your phone to actually it is it
go so one is in which this one will
connect with the speaker Bluetooth
speaker other is in which your phone
will connect with the Bluetooth speaker
so these are the output mods if you go
come back here you can actually long
press this settings icon and it will
bring up settings so you have network uh
settings apps notification storage it
has I think 64GB built-in so right now
it has 53 GB free then you have Google
services systems about this device all
those things are here one thing that I
wasn't able to find is where are the
like brightness settings you can reset
your device if you want to I think there
should be a software update option as
well it has a 4 GB of RAM Android waran
13 is installed here uh which is quite
latest actually not that bad and uh all
these settings for here one thing that I
want if you single press it brings in
short settings you have screen control
what is this diing you can increase or
this is the brightness that I was
looking for so you have the brightness
here full brightness then you have the
day night or auto mode or just so if you
set set it to Auto can I day it turn it
maximum night it turns it down if you do
it auto like right now it knows that it
is M so it it has some kind of sensor or
setting based on time it knows what is
going on let's go with the da right now
you have the FM volume and adjust volume
all those settings are here as well if
you want to the volume to maximum so
this was it mirror link is here in case
you want to mirror using the mirror link
your phone to this screen that option is
here you have file manager if you want
to like uh go through videos or anything
for example you can insert USB drive
here and play movies or music from here
navigation or my apps this is the app
list you have all list of all the apps
if you will install more most more
probably it will start scrolling audio
output Rumble Spotify those are already
here Tik Tok is Here YouTube is here
Google Play then if you go to settings
you can also go to settings here okay
what else can this is for music Control
FM you can play videos from here oh what
it is YouTube uh right now it is in
carplay mode so it will not work but you
can actually so I thought this was a
video playing application it is loading
YouTube okay what else can I show you I
think that's it like you install apps on
it use Android I2 carplay mirror link
file manager navigation app list is here
and install app using the Google Play
Store I showed you the carplay so that
you can use it with the carplay if you
like to and uh I mean all those options
are here you can switch between carplay
and Android auto from right here as well
if you guys uh don't read the
documentation uh when you connect it
with that Android or car plate will ask
you for a code which is 0 0 0 0 so four
time Z enter that and connect and that's
it yeah that's it man this was the puuu
waran with a built-in dash cam and then
a reverse cam camera as well some 10.26
in
1080P high resolution screen all good
here so let me know what you think of it
take great care of yourself bye
