Transformed my old car!! Awesome product!! Go for it !
The media could not be loaded. Delivery experience:I had originally received an used/open product, still working and not defective, just the seals were open and a few usage scratches on the screen guard. Amazon refused to help me and asked to contact the seller. But the seller was very responsive and sent me a replacement from their end. So, kudos to the seller.Product:The device has completely given my old car a transformation in terms of both functionality and looks inside the cabin. For this price? It's an absolute steal !! And no need to replace the old headunit/stereo of the car.Installation:Pretty easy installation, just like a phone mount. Some people in other reviews said the provided double side sticker is not as powerful but it was pretty powerful for me. Because I tried to remove it as I had left a screw loose in the bottom which helps with the 360 rotation. I had to visit an accessory shop nearby to remove the sticker, tighten the screw and stick back using the same sticker. It still works perfectly fine for me even after reusing it.So, remember to tighten the screw on the bottom after positioning it before sticking on your dashboard !!Device functionality and connections :As for the device itself, it starts up really quick and connects to the phone all within 5-10 secs max. Android Auto connects everytime automatically without issue or lag. Touch screen works really well. The size also fits perfectly for my car. Everything works as advertised. The wide range of connectivity options is pretty useful.I have an old Pioneer head unit/stereo without bluetooth in my car (attached photo taken from above) and since I installed it very close to it, I was not able to use the Bluetooth adapter that I have been using for many years. So, I first connected using the FM transmission option. But since they were so close to each other whenever I tried to adjust the audio on the Pioneer unit, there was frequency interruption causing static sounds. So, I have now used the aux cable to connect it. And I have also used the Pioneer's USB port to power the Plimpton device, so all the wirey mess is hidden and provides a clean look.It says that the power cable they provided is also the FM transmitter, but I did not use it first and used my portronics charger. I left one provided back at home and it worked perfectly fine apart from those random static noises.Turns on and off with the car, so no worries about battery drainage as well.Cons:Only thing I feel as a con is the reflective surfaces of the screen. But you can adjust the angle in a way that it doesn't reflect much anymore. It worked for me.For a product at this price range, this is much more than one could expect.I would highly recommend this to anyone with an old car without touchscreen or a car with touch screen but not Android Auto or CarPlay. Go for it ! You also get upto 720 days extended warranty and lifetime product support.

Navigation: The GPS system is accurate and comes with preloaded maps, which are very convenient. The interface is simple to use.Overall, the Plimpton L1 is a solid infotainment system with great features for its price. It strikes a good balance between functionality and performance, gist - Bang for buck!

5 Stars – Perfect Fit for Tata Nexon!
I recently installed the Plimpton L1 in my Tata Nexon XMS, and I’m genuinely impressed. It’s a perfect fit for the dashboard, and the setup was smooth and hassle-free. The display is crisp, responsive, and works flawlessly with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.What surprised me most was that even the steering-mounted controls work seamlessly, which is a huge plus in this price range. The wireless connectivity is stable, and the audio syncs perfectly with the car's speakers.Highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their infotainment system without altering the original look of their car. Great value for money!

Good product with Basic features
This is exactly what i wanted, works great. I have Tiago with Harman music player, so didn't want to replace anything with lower sound quality. Market is flooded with cheap Chinese players, didn't want to replace Harman with that. My options were the really expensive car stereos or a screen something like this. Although this is similar cheap Chinese option, but it doesn't replace my Harman. So i get to keep the amazing sound quality of stock music player and get android auto to complement that.Coming to the product, the quality is ok, with a few issues evident, but there aren't any other options available and given the price range, these can be ignored. (to mention a few, the screen is flush with the top glass in on side and slight visible gap on the other, the Sticky pad on the stand doesn't really stock on dashboard). I had returned the first unit i received due to this, but the replacement had the same issue but less prominent so i kept that one.The pairing is straightforward and connection takes a few seconds after initial setup. The touch is responsive too, with no noticeable lag. Installation was a little tricky, i cleaned the dash and stick the gel pad given in box, but it came out right away. I had some 3M tape, used that and it didn't came out even with force (the stand was a little misaligned and i tried to take it off to straighten it but it wouldn't). So, if you order this, add a 3M tape also in cart. There is an AUX cable, Power adaptor in the box, you can also use your existing phone charger in your car, mine worked without any issue. Sound output can be through AUX, FM transmitter or inbuilt speaker. You can also use the output to phone and pair phone with car in which case you would be able to use the car stereo. I didn't use the AUX or inbuilt speaker.Function wise, it does the job fairly good, connects quickly and installation is fairly simple. The screen is reflective and you need to align it in such way that you get least glare. Its sometimes hardly visible during day time if there is lots of light from behind due to glare. Also the unit came off from stand twice during my recent trip on bumpy road, again had to use double sided tape to secure it. There should have been a locking mechanism to avoid this but there is not. There is screen mirror function too, which again i didn't use. There are a few other options to change the theme to dark or adjust brightness. You can connect back camera to the screen.Overall, this is a basic AA/Carplay unit with its share of cons, but at this price point and available options, they aren't a dealbreaker. There are multiple options outside india, with much better quality, much more functionality and slightly greater price, but they are not available here. So considering this, its a good deal at the moment.
