This was a gift for my girlfriends car because she loved the one in my truck so much she didn't want to use her cars out dated system.
For a person with little car knowledge who never attempted this before found it to be quite easy to install and no broken parts thankfully. She uses an IPhone while im use to Android. I haven't tried to see what all it can do yet, but soon will see what all I can do with it. It looks like I can simply plug in a lot of really cool features. (Any recommendations)?
I was leaning towards the 360⁰ camera view.
I'll see if I have it working 100% this weekend. Any input you give would be appreciated. So far it's great 5 stars. Thanks. David.

I was mildly skeptical regarding overall function of this unit considering the very competitive price. Frankly, I am more than satisfied. It has exceeded my expectations to date, albeit one week.
All inherent vehicle control unit functions are retained, and the steering wheel controls also remain functional. The most concerning unknown was integration with the existing backup camera. The backup camera functions as it always has, automatically invoking as soon as the vehicle is put in reverse. The Car Play audio continues to play without interruption while the camera is engaged. As soon as the vehicle continues in drive, the multimedia screen returns to CarPlay.
The installation guidance is somewhat vague as the linked video shows install for another vehicle. The general concepts transfer over, and I was successful in one try. Be sure to test it before reassembling your dash! Also, be sure to reconnect the climate control panel as well or the multimedia buttons will not work.
Overall a great value and the CarPlay experience transforms my commute.

Installed this module and it worked exactly as the Carlinklife stated on their website very pleased with the outcome

Was nervous given the large expense if this would work, but I had a professional installer put it in and while it took 4.5hrs to complete, it works as promised. Can’t be happier.

The CarPlay module integrates seamlessly with the factory stereo and works flawlessly. Very pleased with the purchase.

The system is of quality in parts and function. So far so good. I will update again in 6 months

I love this system, I have a Jaguar F-Type and the one thing it’s missing is CarPlay. This unit functions perfectly and was more affordable than any of the others I found. Install took about 2 hours because I have a convertible and had to do some extra stuff but once I got it installed it was great. I had one issue where there was some static in the background of music, but when I emailed the support team they helped me through it and now it sounds great! I would highly recommend the car link life unit over any of the others!

Overall, I really like the unit. Would 100% get a ground loop isolator before installing this. Otherwise, amazing customer service and relatively easy install.

I usually never write a review. This unit is so good! I was thrilled when I found it and amazed now that it works on my car! The installation process was easier than I thought. No complains so far. It works great! I am very satisfied with the purchase. Do I recommend this? Yes! 200% RECOMMENDED!!!

The device arrived with every tool needed for the installation, the instruction were complete, not super clear to me initially but customer support was very helpful and responsive, I could figure out everything in the end ans I am very happy with the outcome. Thanks a lot for the great product and support, I definitely recommend it further.

These lights totally transformed my night driving experience. The interior glow is smooth, not overpowering, and creates a cozy, calming vibe. I used to dread long drives at night, but now I look forward to them. It feels like cruising through the city in a luxury ride.

Even my wife, who usually doesnt care about car stuff, noticed and loved the look. We took a night drive and she said it felt like a date night.

I was worried about compatibility but these lights fit perfectly in my cars layout. It looks like it came straight from the factory.

Night drives have never felt this good. The subtle glow from these ambient lights makes my cabin feel relaxing and upscale. Its not too bright or distractingjust perfect. I actually look forward to driving at night now. My car feels like a luxury lounge!

This is easily one of the best low-cost upgrades Ive made! Highly recommend for anyone who drives at night often.
