there is a flaw with beatsonic and iphone xsmax and xs. only works when you connect before you turn car on.

Avoid beatsonic. this is MUCH better and it gives you the full screen.

kinda looks like a hacked apple carplay... wonder the longevity of this down the road with apple updates. Granted Beatsonic is behind on a brand new phone, at least there is support to tell me they are working on it. The screen sharing feature seems more reliable and less chinese interface to deal with, think I'd wait for beat sonic over something I've never heard on an asian website, just my thoughts.

Here is a review left from a buyer on alliexpress

AliExpress Shopper
US
(0)
Logistics: DHLI bought this product for my 2017 Lexus RX 350 F-SPORT spec 3, excellent product and quality. True plug and play no cutting or modifications required. it took about 1~2 hrs to install. Also the seller Cosmo is very helpful and friendly when needed. Shipping was fast under one to week to Canada.
