Anyone used CAMECHO brand Android Auto/Carplay device?

[u/uprightanimal]

I looked at this model on Amazon for CAD $75. The price is low enough that I won't cry if it fails, but high enough that I don't want to buy known junk.

I know that there are a ton of these on the market at wide price points, and I think most likely 80% of them are exactly the same product, but you never know. Wondering if anyone has used this model or at least this 'manufacturer'

No experience with that brand but I've had this one on my bike for a month or so, seems to work fine. The only the I don't like is that I can't figure out how to have the whole screen be just one app instead of split screen. But maybe that's an Android Auto thing.

If it's android auto you should be able to double tap the app, if that doesn't work, look at the icon on the bottom of the left side, click on that, should switch between screen layouts.

Edit: In the link, it's the square on the bottom left of the screen.

I thought I tried those things, may have to give it another look. Thanks.

May be a quirk of the device, but usually Android Auto works that way. Fingers crossed it does work.

[u/UmpireDry316 → u/formulafuckyeah]

I have been eyeing this as well. I believe Android auto does permit split screens if the app/device have compatibility.

Does calimoto work on it via android auto?

[u/formulafuckyeah → u/UmpireDry316]

Not sure, don't have it. Is it better than Google maps?

[u/UmpireDry316 → u/formulafuckyeah]

Only advantage of calimoto over gmaps is the option to record your routes and the option to choose twisties in your route plan.

[u/formulafuckyeah → u/UmpireDry316]

Ooh I might have to check it out.

It's an android auto thing. I ran into the same annoyance with my car, were it splits up Spotify and the map. You get used to it after a while.

[u/uprightanimal → u/formulafuckyeah]

Thanks. That WonVon model is a little more expensive in the Canadian AMZ store, but doesn't seem to offer any additional features.
Edit: this one also has a sunshade, and I will be using a custom mount with a sunshade already, so it will just get in the way.

They are all the same to be perfectly honest.

Im curious about this as well

[u/ShackledPhoenix]

I haven't used that brand but I ordered this one for my truck and it's been pretty frikken great. It needed an update for newer phones but it was easy and took like 2 minutes, ever since it's been a rock solid connections.

What do you mean by the update for newer phones?

[u/ShackledPhoenix → u/SplashingAnal]

The one I bought had issues if your phone was running android 16 I think it was. It would lose connection to my phone every few minutes. There's a specific warning label in the box about this.

You just have to go into settings on the device, hit update and it uses your phone to run a quick update. Ever since, it's worked perfectly. Took like 2 minutes to fix.

Nice

[u/Smurf06]

Not that brand but something similar, I picked up this one https://a.co/d/0aMEtOkO and a cheap headset and haven't had any issues for the last year or so.

I am thinking to use a E-ink phone but still have to test. E-ink have reached a lever where the refreshing is not bad and very visible under direct sun light. But is a very expensive experiment

[u/sleepinthebuff]

they work fine, I have basically the same one different name. I like it but the screen resolution and colors suck and 5" is probably a little small. 

[u/NutButterXplosion]

Not the same brand but I got one on eBay for $40 shipped. It's been working great for the past 5 months and a few thousand miles. Looks like they raised the price to $50 https://ebay.io/m/zEVB53

[u/Flimsy_Call_2986]

Los hay por 40 euros y son EXACTAMENTE iguales a este que vale el doble casi

Good video on the topic:

What's the issue? Looks like the diagonal measures the screen, but the horizontal and vertical measurements are the whole device.

[u/cibermesias → u/[deleted]]

Why would you need an upgrade?

[u/Mindless_Ant_8370 → u/[deleted]]

I returned the 5" and got a 7"

I don't understand why people think they need a screen mounted on their bike. You look at screens all day long until you go to bed. Take that time on your bike to loose all distractions. Ditch the bar mounted phone/screen and just ride!

[u/ShackledPhoenix → u/SomeoneNearYou1]

GPS. Music Controls. Some people want to be able to take phone calls.

[u/SomeoneNearYou1 → u/ShackledPhoenix]

You can do that with a Sena or other brand Bluetooth helmet kit. Looking at a screen while riding to me is just dumb!

Made in China - hard pass

[u/wolfox360 → u/IcyHotTodoroki1]

Everything is made in china!

[u/IcyHotTodoroki1 → u/wolfox360]

not quality stuff

[u/wolfox360 → u/IcyHotTodoroki1]

For the price iit s excellent qualty. Some make you pay 10 times more and you don't even have pogo pins

[u/MannyCoon → u/IcyHotTodoroki1]

I dare you to find any head unit that doesn't have components made in China.
