The Tbox UHD is a white box that plugs into your car’s wired CarPlay display and runs mobile Android 13. It offers access to all apps available on the mobile version of the OS, including YouTube and Netflix. It also comes with access to Google Play, allowing you to download a variety of applications including games.

During testing, the Tbox UHD performed well in terms of speed and functionality. It launched quickly and was able to run Android apps without significant delays. Its navigation app was quick to load and responsive, providing reliable turn-by-turn directions. It also supports split screen functionality, allowing users to run two applications simultaneously. This is especially useful during long trips when passengers can watch video content while the driver keeps track of navigation.

This model is priced slightly higher but has the advantage of offering HDMI output. It is also compatible with Apple CarPlay for a seamless integration with iPhones. This is a convenient and practical feature, especially for users who are used to the iOS interface.
