Has anyone tried this full screen Android Auto/Carplay module?

If you read the site details for the OP product, the full screen mode is only for carplay. Android Auto is still only partial screen

On this page:

It reads "Suitable Car Models List, Adding wireless/wired carplay and wired android auto with Full screen!!"

I do see what you mean, that the images shows AA as being part screen, though one of them is showing a video, in which its aspect ratio necessitates the partial screen display. I am tempted to try the module. Since the module is Android-based, my hope is that it does support both Carplay and AA full screen.

Edit: Also, if "Mirror Link" is what I think it is--mirroring the phone's display, it would allow the full Android experience from the phone, which would be very cool.

What's weird on OP's video is that at ~44 seconds when they do the two-finger swipe down to go into full screen the video is cut/spliced into another view - the before sensus view with two-finger swipe then another clip is the full-screen version. Why not continue recording if it works without issues - makes me question it.

Wireless CarPlay adapters hook up to the car by the USB connection. They connect to the phone by wireless. This is negotiated with Bluetooth to start followed by point to point Wi-Fi for bandwidth.

Perhaps the Motorola unit is using a Bluetooth only implementation. That would severely limit bandwidth.

Hello Again,
Since I was deeply disappointed by Volvo (GPS location not working), just installed it on my 2016 XC90 and it works perfectly :p

However the Android Function is only half displayed but it fits perfectly to my expectations, happy to have found it here in the forum!

But your car is connected to your phone, then what about audio of CarPlay module ? so when you play songs in CarPlay / android auto sound won’t come bcuz ur car is connected to your phone,s Bluetooth rather than CarPlay module Bluetooth

When your playing songs or during call what is your car Bluetooth connected to module or phone ? As per my knowledge Volvo car has single point but they won’t support multipoint, can you keep a video for better understanding?
