NEW Android 11 Multimedia Box Review 🆕 Make Your Car SMART!

NOTE: This Android Car Box requires Apple Carplay! Plugs via USB cable, NO installation needed - just Plug and Play! Some cars' USB input remains turned on all the time, even when the car is off. In that case, you'd need to unplug it when turning off the car.

Just got mine today. This thing is awesome!

I just ordered and received mine. After iOS16.1 update on iPhones connecting to wireless Car Play has become inconsistent. I can still connect but it now takes several attempts. However, the Android portion of the Box works well, I connected the Box to the Wi-Fi of my car, and it has performed flawlessly. I wanted to Thank you for demonstrating how to use Google Assistant I was not holding my steering wheel control long enough for the Assistant to listen to me. I've installed Disney+, Hulu, Frontier TV and SiriusXM. Its best to download APK's and Play Store updates using the Wi-Fi from the house using the remote, like you demonstrated. For anyone having issues with getting Disney+ to work correctly the APK that works the best is from July 14, 2022, it is 2.9.1-rc1. The most recent one 2.13.0-rc3 will allow log in but will crash the app trying to stream a video. When I received my box Netflix needed to be updated for it to allow login, I downloaded the most recent Netflix APK using my home Wi-Fi and installed it using APK installer and that solved the problem. Thanks for this great orientation.

Wow fantastic thanks

I was waiting for this video

Hey, MBZ Master! Great video so thank you for the effort you've put into making this! 2 questions: do you know if it will work for my Toyota chr year 2022 and second, the remote control you are using towards the end of the video, is that your car (Mercedes) remote or did it come with Multimedia Box? Thanks a bunch!

i bought a carlinkit video box for traveling. we love it! i bought it for when i travel with my children, but yesterday we went to my father’s house 3 hrs away and my husband decided to watch a movie(i was driving and listening to it) on our drive home yesterday while stuck in traffic. it made a irritating time for my husband go by so much faster and i didn’t have to listen to his complaining, which made for a much nicer 3 hour drive.

GREAT JOB! DO SOME MORE VIDEOS ON THIS DEVICE PLEASE.

Great video and great device. I have a question which some other people have asked where their own car does not have Apple Carplay/Android Auto. I have a W205 2015 (UK model) C250. It does not have Android Auto/Carplay activated. I have seen ODB devices which claim to be able to activate Carplay when connected via the OBD port. Most models are noted (A, B, GLE etc) but my 2015 W205 does not seem to be covered, perhaps because it has NTG5.2 Comand installed on the 8.4" screen. Can you tell me if there is a way to activate carplay/android auto or do I have only one choice which is the more expensive option and I would have to replace the screen with a 10/12" type. Thanks in advance :-)

Hello Just got mine a couple of days ago. So far so good on my 2022 Lexus GX 460. I have a question. Is there a setting so that all apps play in wide screen. So far only a couple play widescreen. Thank you.

First, MBZ Master I want to say great video, very informative, but I have 2 questions. 1) Where did buy that remote/keypad, it looks like it will make life easier wihile i use it. 2) Could you tell me how to arrange my icons? I want to move them from page to page. Have all my video apps on one page, and have all my maps and tools on another screen. Is that possible?

Firstly thank you uploading this: If you do not want to do WiFi hotspot, can you connect to the MMB box using Android Auto feature. If yes, can we connect wireless to the box, like apple car play?

I'm having an issue. My mmb is does not stay connected when Apple play loads and plays the count down graphic. The blue is solid on the MMB after the graphic plays, the Apple car play connection disconnects from the mmb. I already setup this device inside my home and the device setup worked as described in your video.

hi I have e350 2010 w212 no GPS does it provide GPS for example or I have to use my phone please advise and thank you very much for all exceptional videos and knowledge

Hey MZB Master thanks for the great video. Does the Android 11 Multimedia Box support Spotify?

Boss will this work in a buick lacrosse 2012.?? Original head unit thank you love the video

Interesting. I have a 2016 Lexus LS that doesn’t have CarPlay or android auto. Will this work for my car? If not, do you know of another method to add CarPlay? Thank you, great video!

is it possible to connect to additional screen over hdmi in the same time as to the car?

Is there an update software to make Apple Carplay and Google Assistance voice controls work? Only phone call voice works.

Can I change the wireless carplay launcher on the main screen (the one under the map) to wireless android auto? If so, how can I do it?
