Weekend tech support is so much help
Weekend tech support is so much help. I’m a typical DIY customer, I don’t trust anyone with my car. So I do as much as I can on my own. I decide to isntall CarPlay version 3.0 on my Chevy SS. I can report that installtion is simpler and 100% plug and play as they state.
The programming manual was confusing to me , so Sunday 6 pm I called NavTool tech support and boom. Someone was there to answer the call and help me .
Thank you NavTool

JK Jeep Wrnagler NavTool CarPlay
After reading reviews I was sceptical but went ahead and purchased it anyways as no one else on he market has a solution like NavTool. I understand why people leave reviews like that, I needed up in the same boat. I don’t work on cars for a living and it get frustrating fast, so I went to a shop around the corner 1 hour later and $100 dollars all was installed and now I have carplay in my Jeep Wrangler.

Exactly as advertised, with outstanding real-time customer service.
I had a great experience with NavTool, although there might be a couple of improvements with their website.
I had been trying to find a way to get CarPlay on my vehicle while retaining the factory radio (2016 Dodge Charger) and was almost resigned to spending more than $1000 to buy a newer factory radio and swapping it out when I found out about NavTool's solution.
It was still a bit pricey, but not nearly as bad as replacing hardware. I started checking it out last Sunday (Easter) and had a couple of questions that I couldn't find on the website, so I clicked on the "chat" button which is promoted pretty heavily on the site. To my surprise, someone actually replied, on the holiday, and answered my questions. I placed my order, and it arrived on Friday - the slowest, free shipping option, UPS Ground.
Prior to charging my credit card and shipping the product, NavTool contacted me to reiterate that the touchscreen would not work for the added CarPlay features, and that it would be controlled by a remote. I already understood that from the videos, but they also pointed out that there was a newer remote than what was shown in the video and sent me a link that showed the newer (and better) hardware.
There was a sticker covering the connector on the device when it arrived, instructing me to make sure I read the installation instructions before starting, but I never received a manual. The website has a page for the manuals, but it does not have any links. I requested one a couple of times, but I never received it.
I started the installation anyway, because it seemed pretty straightforward. I plugged everything in, but my screen wouldn't turn on. Right as I was going to contact support, I got an email from NavTool that instructed me to program the device before installing it. I downloaded their software from the website and loaded my car's details into it. When I reconnected everything back into the car, the screen came on and I could use the new CarPlay features.
I was starting my installation in the evening, and every time I had a question, I would send NavTool an email, and I got a nearly instant response every time. In no time, I had my setup working, although I still needed to program it a second time using a newer installer that wasn't linked on the website.
In just a couple of hours, I had the installation complete and it works flawlessly. If I had installation instructions and didn't need to run to the store to buy a necessary cable, I would have had it done in less than an hour.
The customer support was outstanding, and the product works exactly as advertised. My only complaints, and the company made up for it with the great real-time assistance, is that I really would have liked to have been able to download a installation/user manual and the latest programming tool directly from the website, instead of from links in emails. An RCA-to-1/8mm audio cable could also have been included, so I wouldn't have needed to run to Walmart and buy a $5 cable.
Those small concerns do not prevent me from rating the company or the product as 5 stars, because I would highly recommend this product for anyone who is looking to add CarPlay to their vehicle without changing any stock features.

Navtool 3.0 for my Acura TL. Success!
I bought a Navtool 3.0 HDMI for my 2005 Acura TL and I couldn’t be happier. It adds HDMI iPhone mirroring and 4 camera inputs for backup camera, front, left and right. Installation was a breeze. Settings can be tuned by connecting unit to a laptop and running the configuration software. Very cool and important add-on to my car. I asked them a lot of installation related questions via Facebook chat and they always answered me. I appreciate their customer support! From my own personal experience I recommend them to family and friends.
