Phone Mirroring to 8” Touchscreen?

[LshizzleJ]

Has anybody installed this phone mirroring to their truck? If I’m understanding it correctly, it allows you to use apps on your phone such as Netflix and Hulu and play the video on the factory touchscreen? I have to say I’d be interested. Is there a cheaper version around? My truck has every damn option except the DVD player

I just finished researching options. I decided on android "carplay ai box" because I wanted a standalone device in my vehicle. An ai box will be cheaper and easier especially if you don't need the camera inputs and hdmi input. Its basically an android 9.0 interface on your touch screen. Some ai boxes feature hdmi i/o as well as other i/o. Your vehicle must have wired carplay for it to work. Boxes range from $150-350 depending on features and your source. My unit should be here on Wed. The link to what I purchased is below.

How did this turn out? It looks like it could add a lot of functionality to the infotainment center.
