Who is it for?

• You want an AI Box and a dash cam but only one device on the windscreen.

Why choose it? (its competitive edge)

• Built-in 1080P dash cam with a 148° view covering three lanes.
• G-sensor locks the clip automatically in a collision.
• Android 13, Google Play, YouTube and Netflix.
• 4G SIM slot and built-in GPS.

Not sure between this and a similar device?

Tbox AR or Tbox Plus + a dash cam? The AR saves space and one cable; separate devices give you a better dash cam and a stronger box.

Choose an AI Box if you want video and apps on the car screen. If you only want CarPlay without a cable, a wireless adapter costs much less. Compare RAM, the SIM slot and HDMI in the table in the CarPlay AI Box section.

Will it work in my car? When it will not, and the solution

What your car needs

A screen with CarPlay that works with a USB cable, from the factory or an aftermarket unit with CarPlay. This device works through that CarPlay, so without it, it cannot work.

Solution:

No CarPlay at all (old radio or basic screen): the Smart Screen QLED with the dashboard frame for your car. An aftermarket Android screen without CarPlay: the Carlinkit CCPA. Android Auto only, with an Android phone: the Carlinkit A2A. Not sure what your car has? See how to check.

• Tesla
  Tesla cars have no factory CarPlay or Android Auto, so this device cannot work in them and we hide it on Tesla pages.
  Solution: the Carlinkit T2C for Tesla, or see all CarPlay devices for Tesla.
• Skoda (calls)
  Carlinkit says Tbox boxes may have call quality problems in Skoda cars when they connect as CarPlay: the other side may not hear you well.
  Solution: switch the box to the Android Auto channel from its button or settings. The car then sees it as Android Auto and uses the microphone normally. The screen still shows the box, and your iPhone still connects to the box wirelessly as usual. Your Skoda must have Android Auto, as most CarPlay Skodas do. Or see the wireless CarPlay adapters that fit Skoda, which do not have this problem.
