4K Dash Cam CarPlay Android Auto Screen Display for ANY CAR install | Spedal NaviCam 860 Review

In this video, I check out the Spedal NaviCam CL 860. You can buy this car stereo display currently for $159.99 from Amazon US 👉🏻 https://amzn.to/3RlgbsU.

This is a standalone wide 9.3” IPS portable display that allows both wired and wireless CarPlay and Android Auto in any car. It will pass audio out of its 2W built-in speaker, or you can cast audio wirelessly over Bluetooth or via FM radio, and there is also a wired option to an AUX audio input port. This display also can cast video from your mobile over MirrorLink for Android and AirPlay for iOS. On the back of the display, there’s a 4K dash cam that’s integrated into the back of the display and a 1080p rear-view camera comes supplied too.

Android Auto fans will have to be aware of its full-screen limitations, and all buyers will have to carefully locate the rear camera so it plays nicely with the IR sensor, and opt for the firmer hard mount option to get the best out of both cameras.

If you are a Mac user, I found you had to format the SD card to Fat32 on your Mac first before using it, otherwise formatting the SD card from the display will make it unreadable on your Apple device.

Accessing the recorded videos from a connected phone was very smooth when you are already connected to its Wi-Fi for wireless CarPlay. The app picked up the camera without any disconnection from CarPlay and I was able to browse watch back content fairly quickly.

CarPlay and Android Auto use was decent and quick to launch, however, microphone performance was lacking heavily in all audio connections other than Bluetooth, where audio stuttering or poor Siri was found when audio output used the internal microphone.

I found its built-in 18W QC3.0 USB port on the 12v adapter a welcome addition. Charging from the display USB port will only give 5W, so being able to charge from this socket where USB ports might be limited in the car is very handy.

If you’re looking for an all-in-one CarPlay or Android and dash camera portable car stereo display, as long as you use its Bluetooth audio output, the NaviCam 860 from Spedal doesn’t carry as many negatives to truly put me off from recommending this display for your consideration.
