If you want to add the kind of tight phone integration that CarPlay and Android Auto offer but don’t want to buy a whole new car, a portable CarPlay screen is the way to go. Right now, Amazon has a well-reviewed option (that comes with plenty of bells and whistles) on sale with a 45% discount.
The VyKure Portable CarPlay Screen is just $60 right now, $50 less than the $110 it’ll normally run you. With three adjustable mounting options and four audio output options, it’s designed to work with any car.

The main unit is a 9-inch touchscreen that you install using the adhesive sticker mount or windshield suction mount, before plugging a car power outlet. Once it’s in place, you can connect it to your car stereo via an aux cord, Bluetooth, or an FM radio signal. It adds turn-by-turn navigation, voice control, and polished car versions of apps to your vehicle in an instant. This particular model also has two cameras: one on the back of the unit that functions as a dash cam and another that you can mount to the back of your car to help you see when reversing.
One customer called this device a “game changer for older cars” that’s an instant upgrade to the driving experience. “If your car doesn’t have a built-in infotainment system, this is a fantastic, affordable upgrade.”
“Everything is crystal clear, from maps to the backup camera, and the functionality is incredible,” another reviewer wrote. They called this device a great value that “makes driving so much easier and safer.”
The VyKure Portable CarPlay Screen is a simple way to add tons of functionality to your car. It’s a navigation system, dash camera, backup camera, music streamer, and more in one small and, at least while this sale is live, inexpensive package.
