In this review, I look at the latest CarlinKit Tbox UHD 660 Edition CarPlay AI Box. You can buy this Android 13 adapter for $154 direct from CarlinKit Store 👉🏻 bit.ly/carlinkituhd (USE COUPON CODE Anthony Barker FOR $15 OFF YOUR ORDER), and also from Amazon soon. Links to follow. Amazon IT has it listed currently here 👉🏻 amzn.to/3VzJCYM.
BT Remote used - amzn.to/3KR4Uw5
TL/DR: The CarlinKit Tbox UHD offers Android 13 OS on CarPlay display with various app options. Despite solid features like SIM support and HDMI out, its Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset lags behind expectations. Video sync issues plague streaming platforms like YouTube and Netflix. While it excels in fast boot times for Android Auto, average performance in app loading and audio glitches in games hold it back. Priced at £169, the Tbox UHD competes with similar products but falls short due to its outdated chipset, impacting video performance. Consider choosing the model with the QC6225 chip for better video quality, at the sacrifice of losing the USB-A port.
