Amazing amazing amazing I’m very excited and happy with this product and not because it gave me Apple CarPlay but here’s the interesting thing that is a little bit mind-boggling to me. I’ve done research and to get CarPlay in my 2012 range rover however every company came across would send me like a manual if I wanted to see prior to purchasing. All products that are out there on the market sold me the same thing that I have to take apart my screen internally almost like surgery type of deal where I have to solder parts inside of my screen basically crazy amount of stuff I had to take my screen out and solder inside. With the NavTool it was plug-and-play. So I called navTool and ask why everybody else requires me to take my screen apart and solder some stuff inside of the screen and yours is plug-and-play. And they gave me an answer that made it out of sense. Every other product that I have looked at was made overseas and not only that they never seen the actual card that they made the product for they have no idea what they were doing. With NavTool it’s plug and play I do not have to dismantle my screen into tiny little pieces.I recommend the product to everybody and there is nothing else you can even find on the market that does the same thing it’s super unique so if you’re hesitant Before I can assure you that there is nothing like it out there when it comes to add an CarPlay that is truly plug-and-play

Very excited that I found this product but my Acura certified preowned and the dealer side sorry there’s no way to add CarPlay go to Best Buy, went to Best Buy Best Buy said there’s no way to change the radio but this company NavTool they make interfaces right here in the US. Went to their website found the product ordered it and to my surprise Best Buy doesn’t dilation of their products at the cheapest price compared to some of the other places that I have Visit for installation quotes. Over the weekend I was and the local Acura car meet and some people had navtool competitor product installed in their acuras And we spoke about the differences and hear what I learned which I’m pretty excited to share because I didn’t know that. It turns out that NavTool has a feature where you can see the camera in the CarPlay mode, nobody had an ability in their acuras to skip music with their steering wheel controls And last but not least NavTool uses vehicle factory microphone you do not need to install external microphone

If you are planning to buy a NavTool read this review. After reading a bunch of reviews on various sides I had mixed feelings about the products however nobody else made a product for my vehicle. I have a Lexus RX without factory navigation and no other company had any solution to add Apple CarPlay to my vehicle. Ordered my product online and received it swiftly. Here is my recommendation to everyone do not read manual prior to receiving the product because without having all the parts in your hands you will do the same mistakes that I have done. I have studied the manual prior to receiving the product thoroughly a few times. So when the product finally arrived I just went I had with installation thinking that I remember all the steps from the manual That I have studied recently. That was a huge mistake because after connecting the product nothing worked I have immediately called the tech support and I was referred to see step number four in the manual To fix my problem that I have explained over the phone, as soon as I opened the manual I realized ha ha that’s exactly what I’ve done wrong. Mistake number two is do not do installation Friday night when you’re tired and it’s dark outside, do it in the daylight. After following the manual and installing everything as I was expecting it to work based on my experience with other CarPlay in other Vehicles. I was doing a research in the period of almost a year for different brands to figure out where to get one for my car at the lowest price, NavTool was not the lowest price but here are the features that I learned throughout my research that are unique only to NavTool. NavTool is the only product in my research that is always plug-and-play. NavTool is definitely the only product that provides a lifetime warranty everybody else that I have asked for CarPlay integration I only provided one year warranty. NavTool is the only company that makes it in the USA I’ve researched all of their competitors and none of them were American made. But here’s what my research actually concluded which I think is the most important point for anybody who is going to be reading my review, none of the competitors had a technical support team to help you, because prior to purchasing I was actually trying to speak to tag people and ask them questions and they were clueless it seem like this people just kind of resellers to bring this product from China or wherever it’s made. So far I’ve been using this product for almost 5 months with zero issues I highly recommend it and it gets my stamp of approval.

After ordering my first NavTool, and using it without any problems, I want to head and ordered a second my second navtool for my wife’s car. Just like the first NavTool I have received it pretty fast and customer service is amazing as always. Very important part for me is that the technical support is pretty much just like if somebody was sitting next to you in the car while you’re doing the installation and pointing a finger where to plug in and west to do. The game changer is the wireless Apple CarPlay, it’s really nice that I can get into my car car, start the car and drive away and don’t even have to plug it in again. I Continue to have the phone in my pocket at all times now. I go to my local car meets and I see that other people have some other brands their cars installed and I noticed a pattern of issues that I do not have with NavTool. First of all, everyone is complaining that the steering wheel controls don’t work, and my nap till fully support steering wheel controls. Another problem that I noticed that everybody who had the CarPlay installed in the car me that wasn’t the navtool brand have complained that they had to install extra microphone, with NavTool I did not have to install external microphone it uses factory car microphone. So basically, after speaking to a few guys at the car meet, they realize that they have to swap their CarPlay out for the NavTool to get all the bells and whistles.

Best of the best products, trying to get cheaper version from ebay and regret it instantly, no support no nothing, for navtool and dinnsky I have CarPlay in both my cars. My Lexus 2020 now has CarPlay. I still cannot believe that they made a 2020 vehicle without CarPlay. My 2016 Range Rover also now has Apple CarPlay, it’s so weird that brand new cars never had CarPlay while a rental Chevy in 2015 already had CarPlay. So I was looking to add CarPlay to my car for a long time and they typically buy my stuff from Amazon or eBay and everything I tried was pure job. NavTool worked so good right out of the box. Highly recommend this product and keep in mind it’s actually made in the USA with USA. Based support and lifetime warranty truly truly great product. I couldn’t be happier.

I bought NAVTOOL for a NISSAN ROUGE SL 2015 to add the CarPlay and Android Auto. NAVTOOL bought on Sept 8 2022. After installing it I had to call many times and spend hours on the phone to get support since the Reverse Camera was not working. They had me cut wires, they had to wire different ones, and then unwired those ones, wire back the ones they asked me to cut, etc, etc, but all the time claiming their products are the best, guarantee, they sell millions to Auto Industry, bla, bla, bla. They had me connect the interface to a laptop and their website to download different and several programs, install this one, did not work, install this other one did not work. Seems they are always guessing but they sell you the story they have millions sold and that they sell to OEM manufacturers, obviously is not true, since they guess all the time and I had to spend 2 hours on the phone to get things resolved but they tell you they have done it before. The interface has to be used with a Remote Control, your original screen even being a touch screen will not work with the interface as touch screen or swipe, all apps from CarPlay or Android Auto has to be ran from the Remote Control that has to sit in your cup holder, so one has to become a master of that Remote to get it working. All phone calls and "OK Google" or "SIRI", you need to have the Car in AUX in order to work, you set your car in different mode and you won't get anything. You can't have it in regular FM radio or other, otherwise it won't work to make calls or ask google or siri. If you try to use your Steering Controls, they will not work, all must be done from the Remote Control, the only steering control will be volume. That remote is hard to use when you are driving, it is very distracting, you have to learn how to use the knob, dial, press, press up, press down, press back , etc. Not worth the money and time. In addition they downgraded my warranty because of my review, this is what they sent to my text and e-mail: "Navtool - Your lifetime warranty has been downgraded to minimum mandated 30 day warranty, and future CarPlay/Android updates will be only available for the next 30 days."

Navtool for my land rover and my wife’s bmw money spent wisely. I drive 2017 Range Rover HSE my wife drives 2014 BMW X6 and both vehicles don’t have CarPlay, both cars are low mileage and trading them in makes no sense. These cars do not allow you to change the radio to aftermarket one Basically I was stuck with what I had there. Then I started doing my research, first I ordered some USB dongle from somewhere and company and realized that they only work for cars with factory CarPlay etc. So finally I came across NavTool And I was like let me just order one for my car and test it out, order it Monday arrives couple days later installation is plug and play Works like a charm. Now I said let me order one for my wife’s car since it’s working perfectly in my car. Ordered one for my wife’s car got it in a couple days later, went to install it needed a question answer by tech-support I found out the support is superknowledgeable and easy to get a hold of, for my carpet secretly I didn’t need any support for some reason it just works smoothly but I guess that’s because I also work on my car all the time. If anyone wants Apple CarPlay or Android Auto Just getting off till I have already searched high and wide nothing is there

I bought a used car from my favorite Range Rover dealership, the dealership recommended me to some company that I can’t remember the name because it made no sense and I ordered the product for my range Rover they required me to take my screen apart when I received it. The manual for the product told me that I should have a soldering gun it was insane. So I sent it back and I was like I’m not taking my car screen apart and soldering inside because the dealer told me that you should not solder anything inside of your screen. Then I contacted few other companies and they all told me the same thing they make the kid but I have to open up my radio and solder inside. Finally after a Google search I found NavTool called them up right from their website it’s actually amazing that I was able to call them right from the website and speak to them right from my MacBook, I asked them if they have a product for my range rover, they said yes I asked them if I have to solder inside of the screen? NavTool representative sounded like he was shocked. He told me that we would never sell anything that requires any soldering and it’s only 100% plug-and-play products that they sell. I said here’s my credit card they said we cannot take the credit card over the phone but they sent me a link to order I placed an order online. Three days later I got it in the mail open the box and the product looks nothing like the other companies are offering. It looks like just plug and play harnesses no loose wires, everything looked just like I expected it to be. Spend Saturday afternoon installing it works perfect and I did not have to open up my screen I am not sure why this other companies are thinking selling product that requires soldering. NavTool is truly a different scale with the products that they offer. If you don’t want to end up in my shoes and order stuff that don’t work I would recommend going straight with navtool by passing all the other companies because it’s not eveby comparable to the NavTool
