The Exploter ApplePie Rocket Plus brings Android 16, Qualcomm QCM6350 performance, 8GB RAM, 5G mobile data, HDMI output, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto to your factory infotainment display.
In this review, I test its boot speed, launcher, YouTube and Netflix playback, global AV sync adjustment, gaming performance, 5G connectivity, HDMI output, wireless CarPlay, Android Auto, call quality and thermals to find out whether this competitively priced CarPlay AI Box is worth buying.
