Select variant '8+128GB America' and use coupon code: CARY103 to get $104 off for a price of $103 shipped before shipping taxes. [remove shipping insurance to reflect promo price]

Been eying this for a while, essentially this runs constantly when your vehicle is on and you wouldn't need to pair or plug in your personal phone.

It has its own cellular model or can run off your car or phone's wifi while having media apps unlocked like Netflix+Youtube.

Please don't drive while using this, lol.

I have one (tbox max) and I do use it daily. Has a few quirks but overall not bad. I wish it supported multi touch or I haven't figured out how to use it

I don't think any android auto supports multi touch,

But does yours need a cellular or internet connection to do basic nav? If so how do you do it and if not what app are you using for offline nav?

So I use tethering on my phone. I have a macro setup for geofence /Bluetooth when it connects to my car and leave the geofence it enabled my mobile hotspot on my phone. It takes about 45 seconds for the carlinkit to boot up. For GPS the unit has a built in GPS radio.

Ah yeah I was thinking of setting up the same Tasker macro (hotspot when bt connected to car). Now I'm curious if tethering via hotspot consumes more or less battery compared to using the wireless Android Auto from the other Carlinkit devices.

Also I used to use HereWeGo app on Android for offline navigation, I wonder if that app is available for this device to go completely offline

Test emulation performance on this and compared to my other one, the Tbox max. With 8gb ram.. was able to emulate GC almost perfectly and was able to do PS2 as well. Crazy how much difference more ram and a slightly better cpu is. Previous version Tbox max, it was stuttering quite a bit

The cellular is 4G. Make sure you get the American version to get the right LTE bands
