I'm talking about those ones that have an android system built in along with support for car play, so you can play YouTube, download apps etc... And use your screen like a tablet.

I had a carlinkit one for a while. Ended up selling it. CarPlay is so much better.

I also tried one of those really cheap ones so I could watch YouTube on my screen while charging. The lip sync was terrible and as a CarPlay box it was 4-5 seconds behind on the nav. If you pay the postage you can have it. It’s sat in my garage.

I heard you can compensate for the delay in settings somewhere. Also apparently the cheap ones mirror carplay and don't do it properly hence the delay.

You can to a extent but they are that cheap they don’t have the processing power to keep up.
