In the box you get a how-to-install card, a paper instructions manual, there is the PICASOU 2 AI Box itself, a SIM card tray removal tool, a USB-A to USB-C power cable, a USB-C to C cable for modern CarPlay ports in the car, and there is a bypass power cable should your CarPlay port not support sufficient power to the adapter – I guess. Features & Design Netflix works fine on Apple TV, and while you're probably more used to seeing that in people's living rooms, you can take it along for the drive, too! Turn Your BMW into a Mobile Movie Theater with CarPlay MMI PRO! It has Bluetooth remote support, and it is the second fastest-performing AI Box when it comes to launching apps like Spotify, Google Maps, Youtube and Netflix.
In the box you get a paper instruction manual, there is the AI Box itself, a USB-A to USB-C cable to power the AI Box and USB-A to C adapter for more modern CarPlay ports in the car. Design & Features This is Carlinkit’s third revision of their Tbox branded lineup. In this latest revision, they have thrown in the same fast chipset as all the other finalists, upgraded its operating system to Android 11, and improved its launcher software. In fact, you can connect this device with a television, mouse, keyboard, projector, and so on. This will ensure that your loved ones in the vehicle don’t get bored at any point. Especially if you are traveling with your kids, it is going to make their journey educational and entertaining, depending on the content you choose. It also relies on actually being able to upgrade your car, which isn't an absolute guarantee. You also need to be mindful of is that a lot of aftermarket units require double DIN slot, whereas a lot of older cars may only have one. Single-DIN CarPlay units do exist, but the amount of choice you have is all dependent on your car.The company also has their own factory along with a skilled research and development team that constantly work on improving the product and run several tests before introducing any device in the market. They are also well-known for their after-sale services, which are absolutely customer-friendly.
If you've ever tried to play Netflix on Apple CarPlay, you've probably noticed the app doesn't show up on your BMW's CarPlay menu. BMW wants your eyes planted squarely on the road, and while that's something we'd obviously also recommend, there are some situations when knowing how to watch Netflix on Apple CarPlay can come in handy. The installation video says you plug it into your car's smart port, be it USB-C or USB-A, with the other USB-C end going into The Magic Box. It includes an 8-inch premium braided cloth USB-A to USB-C cable and a USB-C to USB-C cable. The Magic Box takes about 20 seconds to load and displays a fun animation screen. It warns you not to use the dongle while in motion, and then deposits you in a configuration screen. The Magic Box runs Android itself, and thus has its own settings you must use—like setting it up to use Wi-Fi from your home, or when parked by the coffee shop, or off of your phone’s mobile hotspot while you’re on the road. It’s let down by its shared low Wi-Fi performance along with the fifth-place Ultra, and it was the second slowest to launch into its main menu. But its software seems to be more optimised than the other AI Boxes. And as a result, it is the fastest to boot into wireless CarPlay and the second fastest into Android Auto.
Being able to play Youtube and Netflix, or play Android games on the CarPlay display can have its advantages whilst waiting for your EV to charge, or if you’re waiting in your car for long periods of time. Youtube and Netflix ran just fine, with their audio in sync with the video on the screen. Gaming & Dual Bluetooth In the box you get a paper instruction manual, there is the T-Box Plus itself, a USB-A to USB-C power cable, and a USB-C to C cable for modern CarPlay ports in the car. The app reported its 8-core Qualcomm 665 CPU runs at up to 2GHz, and the same Adreno 610 GPU at 320MHz. So I expect this box to perform similarly to the Ultra branded AI Box from last month. Firing up Geekbench to benchmark test the box, it showed a slightly lower single-core and multi-core result to the Ultra (which also has twice as much RAM), and with the same GPU its result came in just 4 points below the Ultra. So in short, there is a minimal performance boost between the Plus and Ultra chipsets. However, it did score lower than the other 665 AI Box I have from MIC. Siri works just like it does when using your phone normally. All you have to do is utter the "hey Siri" wakeup command, and tell it what you need. Whether you need directions to the nearest gas station, control music, or send a text message, Siri can help you out. If your friends and family use Android, it includes Android Auto support, too, so everybody will be able to cast content from their phones.
