Normally £89.99, this LAMTTO wireless Apple Car Play stereo is down to £54.18 for Amazon Prime members.
Plenty of modern cars now have functionality like Apple Car Play and Android Auto build in, letting you connect your phone to your car’s stereo and viewing vital information without needing a cumbersome phone mount. Pulling up music controls and navigation apps has never been easier – if you’ve got a car with an up-to-date screen, that is.
Sadly, many of us are missing out on these smartphone integrations with usually the most expensive models of cars coming with functionality built in. Especially with the new changes to road and car tax that the DVLA has just introduced, picking up an older car on the used market is becoming an increasingly affordable option by the day.
Picking up an older car doesn’t mean you have to put up with basic stereo’s of yester-year, though. You can actually add Apple Car Play and Android Auto functionality to any old car with an Amazon gadget that’s currently reduced from £89.99 to £54.18.
The LAMTTO 9 Inch Wireless Car Stereo is a touch screen display that mounts to the dash of your car. Pair it with either your iPhone or an Android Phone and it can wireless display smart features like Google Maps, Waze, or Spotify.
It’s a great way of upgrading your car while on a budget, negating the need to shell out for fancy upgrade packages like you do on newer car models. With the 9-inch screen, it also makes it much easier to see directions than displaying them on your phone using a typical vent mount.
Installation is super easy with it either mounting to the windshield or dash via a suction cup. It’s then powered by the 12v socket that most cars have in the cockpit.
It has built-in speakers, but you can choose to connect to your car’s Bluetooth or Aux port for the clearest audio. There’s also a microphone included that can let you use Siri or Google Gemini to take calls while on the road.
The LAMTTO 9 Inch Wireless Car Stereo has a 4.3 star rating on Amazon and is currently the number one best seller in the Car Stereo category. One review reads: “Once connected, works very well. Comes on when ignition is switched on and automatically connects to the phone each time following the initial set up. Screen is very clear and bright and the connection to the phone is very stable.”
A second reviewer says: “This head unit is a fantastic choice if you’re looking for an affordable yet highly functional car stereo. It’s been a joy to use, and I’ve already recommended it to a few friends. Whether you’re upgrading an older car or just want a more connected driving experience, this LAMTTO stereo is totally worth it!”
A third happy shopper writes: “The unit is very stable, doesn’t shake around when driving and has not fallen off once yet. I can only recommend this item, I was a little nervous about spending this much when cheaper options were available but this was really worth the money and I would have no hesitation in recommending it.”
Some customers do have some constructive criticisms though, with one reviewer writing: “Takes a while to connect and doesn’t work correctly. Notifications are delayed and when using maps on auto day/night it stays on day time.” Someone else writes: “It’s a good device till now but the device AirPlay doesn’t work in full screen. I have an iPhone and tried to cast it, the landscape mode of the screen cast from the iPhone doesn’t fill the CarPlay screen entirely. So it looks kinda weird.”
There are other Apple Car Play stereo’s out there, including this one from MEETELLALA. It’s available for £62.99 at Amazon, although an additional 15% voucher takes it down to £53.55.
Another alternative is this one sold on Amazon that has a dash camera built in. It’s going for £70.99, but a 20% voucher takes that down to £56.80.
