4K Rear View Mirror Camera with Carplay & Android Auto

This thing is great. I have a 68 Galaxie station wagon with terrible blind spots. I was looking to bring some modern tech like maps, music, dash cam without having to have my phone out all the time. I found this android auto mirror and from comparing, this one sounded like it was a better deal and more features like 60hz and the hardwire kit included unlike others. Well I knew it would be a challenge to make work in my classic without looking completely out of place. But after some fab work it turned out great. The mirror is great so far, it responsive and clear. It was quick to connect to Android auto and if you know how to use a phone, you can quickly figure out the settings, cause yea the manual if kind of lacking. I also discovered that even though it's not mentioned on page at all, that you can actually connect to the mirror via a phone app and live view the cameras, as well as download any of the files saved on the SD card. UPDATE TO THIS PART: The connection between the app and mirror is over Wi-Fi, but it becomes almost unusable once you set up android auto. AA connects first, and when its connected, you can not connect to the app to view the files. Still working on testing this part more, to see if there is a better way. The camera are adjustable physically, as well as the image can be shifted up and down a few degrees to find tune your view. The included hard wire kit, for the parking lot monitoring, that other mirrors don't include, was easy to install. It allegedly has a battery monitor on it so if the car battery gets below a set level, it'll shut off fully to prevent from draining car battery. Have not tested it fully but we'll see how well that works. Overall I am very happy with how it all came out and how well it looks and performs. I posted a few pictures on some of the classic forums I'm on and have already had a couple friends either but or add to their wish list and have asked me to help install it for them.

Edit on 9/29/2025: Removing another star. The unit is not compatible with iOS26 so it no longer will work with Carplay. There is no method to update the firmware so it's basically useless at this point. Edit on 8/28/25: Removing a star. After using this screen for three months, the rear casing has warped and the screen housing has popped off the rear housing and will not snap back together. I'm going to have to glue it together to get it to stay in one piece. This display mirror has several good features but enough short comings that they should be considered before purchasing. Overall it mostly does what it says it will do and here are the pros and cons: Pros: Nice display with decent overall contrast and the touch screen is fairly responsive. Don't expect high end phone performance but it's more than functional. The size of the mirror unit is great and is much larger than most standard rear view mirrors giving you a great field of view. The 4k dash cam is clear and crisp, and the back up cam is good enough for it's application. It has an acceptable boot up time (around 10 seconds from power up to streaming Apple CarPlay) and the display options for the cameras and CarPlay/Android Auto are great. I also like the fact that you can turn the screen off with a push of a button to turn it back into a standard mirror. The included hardware gives you a few options for powering the unit and including the back up cam is a nice touch. I also like the ability to output the audio over FM, wired, Bluetooth, or the built in speaker. It also has a decent mic built in for hands free calling and voice control. Cons: The negatives are mostly with the non CarPlay/Android Auto UI. The app to download the dash cam recordings simply does not work at all. It just gets stuck in an endless loop of trying to connect. There is a removable CF card so you can get to your recordings that way but even my 5 year old dash cams can easily connect to their respective apps for immediate downloading. When in CarPlay/Android Auto mode, there is a extra "button" that is overlayed on the non dash cam part of the screen that opens a quick access menu for access to the camera, home screen, audio output selection and brightness. This button is completely redundant and saves no amount of taps to access the respective functions. I have found no setting that removes this button and it's just in the way. The audio streaming works just fine but it does seem to "hiccup" from time to time. I have not had this issue with any other device I stream to. Since this device is sold by countless vendors here on Amazon, I have not found any site that can update the firmware for bugfixes or new features in the future. I suspect that updating this device is not going to be possible limiting it's "future proofness". It is relatively cheap though so there is that. The license plate mounting kit that is included for the back up cam was either missing parts or simply is not the correct one for the included backup cam. There was no combination of included parts that would allow that bracket to work with that camera. Other observations: Since this is a mirror screen, in bright sunlight the mirror reflection can overpower the screen itself. I have found that just flipping the mirror to the "dim" position will fix this but if your car has an auto dimming mirror, you won't have this option. The rubber bands that attach the device to your existing mirror leave it a bit shaky. I did buy the suggested glass mounting kit but it was not the correct size. This unit uses the larger 14.5cm x 6cm screw pattern which is MUCH less common. I only found one vendor with the correct sized glass mounting kit. To use a glass mounting kit, you have to pop out the four rubber pads on the rear, remove the four screws and small plates, remove the rubber band ears, and then attach the glass mounting kit plate with the screws that you removed.

It works great but the camera is flipped so left is right and right is left. It significantly impacts being able to see and make quick decisions, otherwise its a solid device

This product was totally worth the money! The backup camera looks amazing, and the screen is huge, making my car feel way more modern. The Android Auto part is much bigger than the camera section, which is great because I'm not struggling to push buttons like with my old one. Night vision is really good, has a wide view, and the instructions and installation are straightforward. I haven't had any problems with it running like it's supposed to. Great quality, I'd definitely recommend it and buy it again.

The idea is nice but it takes the view completely from the back of your car. The setup was not complicated but there were some challenges connecting with the app and the recording feature once the car was turned off.

I've been slow on adopting new tech for my car (2000's sedan) but my new neighborhood only has street parking. So, I needed a front and back camera for visibility purposes while driving and parking. This 4k (I set it to 2k) recording front+back camera has been incredibly helpful, and I am still surprised with how much technology is packed into this product. This mirror module is attached via two rubber straps that hook around your car's front mirror, it secures everything tightly while driving. There are also a lot of options to set the mirror to the specs you want, and innate compatibility with Android Auto if you use it on your phone. Connecting your phone to the mirror module can be done via hotspot (the module creates it's own "wifi hotspot" in order to ID itself and connect to your phone) or Bluetooth, I thought this was a neat feature. The module plugs directly into your car's outlet. The front camera is attached to the mirror module and has great visibility. The biggest consideration if attaching the rear camera, which took me 1-2 hours to figure out. There is an option of wiring the 12V red wire into your rear light wiring panel (in order to automatically activate the reverse grid on the mirror when the car is in reverse) but I did not need this feature (the front and rear cameras are always on whenever your car is on, so I have access to the rear view camera at all times). I simply chose to plug in the rear camera to the module, hiding the wire within my car's interior, and expose the wire through the trunk out of my license plate in order to attach the camera on the outside. You'll have to find a way to get the wrap wire and rear camera through a hole out of the rear of your trunk (some cars have native holes, or you'll have to drill a small hole through a plastic/metal like they do at professional installations). There are many videos online on how to generally do this procedure. Overall, I am blown away with how much technology I get for a little over $100, and I get to use my 2000's sedan for a few more years before needing a car with build in cameras!

I just installed the AUTO-VOX 4K Rear View Mirror Camera with Carplay & Android Auto in my 2003 Dodge Ram 2500, and let me tell you - this thing is so sweet, my truck thinks it's having a midlife crisis. It's like I'm driving my 2021 Ram 3500, except my wallet didn't file for bankruptcy. You can talk to text, make calls, use apps, and get navigation - ALL HANDS FREE! My truck went from caveman grunting to having full conversations. I'm pretty sure it's more articulate than I am now. The front camera records all the "creative" drivers out there (and by creative, I mean the ones who apparently got their licenses from a Cracker Jack box). If something happens, I've got footage. I'm basically running a mobile reality TV show called "Why Did You Do That?" The crazy part? I wish my actual 2021 Ram had features this good. My newer truck is probably jealous and plotting revenge in the driveway. I haven't gone full nerd-deep into all the features yet, so I'm positive I'm missing some other technological wizardry. I'll give you a 6-month update once I figure out if this thing can also do my taxes and fold my laundry. Quick shoutout: Installation was easier than explaining TikTok to my parents. And the 4K quality? Sharp enough to count the regret in other drivers' eyes. Update pending when I discover this mirror probably has more computing power than NASA used to land on the moon.

Died the moment the weather got warmer!!! It’s now a useless brick. Only had it for two weeks. Not worth the money at all!!!!
