Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are great ways to enjoy music, podcasts and more when you’re driving. You can also send and receive messages and make phone calls all while staying safe and keeping your eyes on the road. Older cars tend not to come with these features, but there’s a solution that saves you from buying a new car just to get CarPlay and Android Auto. This foldable touchscreen display is a great way to add both to your vehicle for just $80 without resorting to an expensive CarPlay or Android Auto head unit swap. But you’ll need to act quickly — this deal isn’t going to last much longer.
This unit has a large 6.8-inch touchscreen and supports both Android Auto and CarPlay, so it doesn’t matter which phone you have. There are plenty of connectivity options as well, including Bluetooth and an aux jack, while a built-in FM transmitter is also offered.
