The Bruxe R8 AI Box is an Android 15 AI Box built for BMW, MINI and BYD wireless CarPlay vehicles, powered by the 6350 chipset with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage.
In this review, I test performance, wireless CarPlay & Android Auto quality, gaming, 4K playback, thermals, and that built-in touch display with D-pad controls. Is it better than the R7? And is it worth $259? Watch to see full real-world testing inside the car.
