7-inch IPS touchscreen
With this product, you get a 7-inch IPS touchscreen and real-time GPS navigation. The display features 1080P full HD resolution, and Zembukil calls it responsive, bright and vivid. The device provides real-time GPS positioning with little to no lag, as well, according to the manufacturer.
The screen also supports MirrorLink for use with almost all Android smartphones. So you can sync your smartphone to the screen and enjoy more features like movies, YouTube videos and more.
Easy installation
Zebukil said the screen is easy to install and fits in most cars. Just plug and play directly using your car’s cigarette lighter. The screen comes with a self-adhesive bracket that you can install on a smooth surface like the windshield or dashboard. That’s not much fuss or muss to get Apple CarPlay or Android Auto in your car when you never had it before.
