I plan to buy a carplay module for my 308, SMEG system
I learned online that EBILAEN module, but they have two, one gray and one black
Has anyone bought it? How effective is it? Which one do you recommend?
Thanks in advance?

Re: a question carplay module
I assume that you're using AliExpress as your source. If that's the case then AliExpress use the term colour to indicate the different units it will fit. If you actually click on one of those options it might indicate something like SMEG. The other option might then be NAC or RNEG. Try it and see.
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

But they have two types of SMEG in their store, so I am confused https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/10050076 ... pt=glo2fra https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/10050027 ... pt=glo2fra

Re: a question carplay module
I've followed your links and I am confused as well! Unless anyone else can come up with an answer all I can suggest is emailing Ebilaen themselves and asking them what the difference is.

I bought it from the poland stock link provided by the seller and received it today. The delivery time is very fast. I will install it this weekend.

So far, everything is stable, wireless carplay, I also tried the wireless Android auto that my dad's phone uses, it's also good!
But I haven't tried the mirror link function yet

Mirror Link has been discontinued now - That's what Android Auto is for.
Once your phone OS is updated it will remove the Mirror Link Functionality.

I use airplay, and I found that after I updated the iOS system of my phone, airplay could not play videos due to the new restrictions of carplay company. . .GiveMeABreak wrote: 13 Jan 2025, 16:21 Mirror Link has been discontinued now - That's what Android Auto is for.

Re: a question carplay module
CarPlay has never been able to play videos in the car natively' when driving due to legality issues and being distracted whilst driving and you can be prosecuted if caught. YouTube and Netflix are examples that will not play videos.
So I expect you have wither a jailbroken phone or downloaded a dodgy profile to do this. Not recommended as a lot of these are scam apps loaded with malware.
