1) Carplay(AndroidAuto) Activator?

This is the device to enable the use of Carplay application or Android auto through your phone for users who want to find Carplay / Android auto compatible device in the aftermarket. If your vehicle is old so that the car does not support these functions or the option for these two is expensive, then this activator can be a very good option among your selections. What GU Electronics is providing is N17 Carplay compatible activator. This is the type to connect OEM/Original monitor via your car interface that the activator must be connected to. so, in the case, you want to use the original monitor (Monitor model must be supported by Car video interface when you feel like enjoying your mobile device in your vehicle. In another case, you want to find extra display including Carplay or Android auto, then you can find Amazon or ebay

2) Why carplay needs car video interface?

N17 Carplay compatible activator. This is the one that does not included or integrated with Video interface. so it must be combined and used at the same time.

Basically, you need 1) interface first and 2) carplay activator. you may think it is complicated and find there are some carplay compatible devices. the some device (Carplay activator by USB) do not gurantee working and performance properly so that’s why here we need the extra interface.
