Know someone who won’t give up their beloved old car? Or maybe they have a painful hour-long commute. Do them a favor and upgrade their ride this holiday season. We aren’t talking about a new car, just this CarPlay and Android Auto car infotainment system. Check off a holiday gift early while it’s on sale for $94.97 (reg. $179.99) until Nov. 3.

Instant car upgrade

Even your friend still living in the ‘90s with their OG Ford Bronco would appreciate having Bluetooth radio, navigation on a large screen, and hands-free calling.

It doesn’t even matter how old your giftee’s car is; even a vintage Mustang can have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto as long as it has a working cigarette lighter for power. Here’s how to install the CarPlay screen:

  1. Mount the screen to the windshield or dashboard with suction or adhesive bases.
  2. Plug it into the cigarette lighter for power.
  3. Connect to the car’s stereo via Bluetooth, FM radio, or aux. 
  4. Pair to an iPhone or Android.
  5. Drive on!

Everybody loves CarPlay and Android Auto

During those long commutes or road trips, your giftee will love having a 9-inch touchscreen working intuitively with their smartphone. Here’s what they can do:

  • Input a destination on their phone and watch directions on the screen.
  • Easily control Spotify or Apple Music and see two apps open at once.
  • See incoming text notifications and have Siri or Google Assistant ask if they want to respond hands-free.

It’s not just a fun gift—you can argue it’s actually a safer way to get around.

Order this holiday gift now to avoid price spikes and shipping delays. The car entertainment system is only on sale for $94.97 (reg. $179.99) until Nov. 3 at 11:59 p.m. with no coupon needed.
