The Carpuride W103 Pro is an impressive dashboard console that can transform your tech-less vehicle’s dashboard into a wireless multimedia centre to rival the likes of Tesla, BMW and Honda. BUT, it won’t come at the price of a new car, and is a very cheap hack to get you an impressive touchscreen.

The Carpuride W103 Pro features a quality 10.3 inch HD IPS capacitive touchscreen which supports Android Auto and Apple Carplay, along with a number of other apps to make your driving experience that much more enjoyable. The screen has auto-brightness thanks to a sensor on the back and is very responsive to touch.

It benefits from built-in 5G WiFi and dual bluetooth 5.0, along with Apple’s Siri and Google’s Android voice control, thanks to its built-in microphone.

The W103 Pro infotainment system also has four ways to play music. From its built-in 5w speaker, from an AUX 3.5mm cable, from the FM transmitter app via your vehicle’s radio frequency and by your vehicle’s bluetooth connectivity.

There are ports for a micro-SD card and USB stick, so you can play music, videos and photos on the screen from external sources, and there is also a 2.5mm aux port to add a reversing camera, which can be purchased separately from Carpuride (link above).

Email Carpuride at [email protected] with an image or logo and they will even customise your device’s boot screen

Carpuride apps include an equaliser for your music, hands-free bluetooth calls, AirPlay for wireless mirroring of your apple device and AutoLink for a wired mirroring of your Apple or Android phone, which requires the downloading of a third-party app.

The device is powered by type-C input and a USB-C to 12v port cable is provided in the box, along with a AUX cable and two mounts. You can attach the infotainment console to your dashboard or window using the strong, adjustable suction cup mount, or use the more-permanent sticky pad mount.

Carpuride has a whole range of other dashboard consoles and accessories to suit all 12v-24v vehicles, set-ups and requirements.

Overall, it’s a great device which is a much cheaper way to add serious tech into your car, than buying a new vehicle!
