Haudio CPU1.5GHz (4+64G) 9-inch 2-DIN Car Stereo with Wireless CarPlay

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto bring your phone’s navigation, calls and music to the dashboard, helping make everyday journeys easier to manage. The Haudio 9-inch 2-DIN stereo pairs these connections with a 720 × 1280 IPS touchscreen, GPS navigation and voice control.

Its 4-core 1.5 GHz processor, 4GB of memory and 64GB of storage support Android 13 and the use of apps. Split-screen and picture-in-picture modes let you keep useful information in view while switching between functions. How much more useful is a dashboard when navigation and entertainment can be handled in one place?

Key takeaways

The large touchscreen gives maps and media a clear, central place in the cabin. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto connect a compatible smartphone, while Bluetooth 4.1 provides another way to stream music. Siri and Google voice control let you use supported functions hands-free, which is useful when you want to keep your attention on the road.

For audio, built-in DSP and multi-zone control help you shape playback, and support for MP3 and FLAC gives you options for listening to stored music. FM, AM and RDS radio, dual USB ports, AUX and RCA audio connections add further ways to connect or listen. A 720P AHD reversing-camera function with a 140° viewing angle is designed to assist when reversing. The interface can also be personalised with 25 UI themes.

Buyer feedback is mixed on day-to-day performance and connections: some describe the stereo as working well, while others report lag or dropped Android Auto and Bluetooth connections. That feedback is worth bearing in mind if reliable phone connectivity is central to your choice.

Tips for day-to-day use

Set up your preferred connection and navigation before setting off, then use voice control for supported hands-free tasks. The split-screen and picture-in-picture options can help keep navigation and another app accessible without repeatedly moving between full-screen views. For reversing, use the camera display as an aid and continue to check your surroundings directly.

As a 2-DIN stereo, it is intended for a matching dashboard opening. Check that the unit and installation arrangement suit your vehicle before fitting, the product details list wiring and installation accessories.

How to use it

Use GPS navigation for route guidance, choose radio or connected audio for listening, and switch between apps with the touchscreen. When reversing, the system supports a 720P AHD camera with a 140° viewing angle.
