help me write. okay i have owned this ATOTO products before so I am familiar with this brand. This latest ATOTO item is really awesome. i wanted a car ad on that would have its own apps and that if i wanted it can have its own SIM card and not rely on my phone for connection. this ATOTO so far has achieved my expectations by adding it to a vehicle that has Bluetooth but no screen. the screen is a great size for my vehicle. i tried another before this one and in my opinion it was too wide and took up alot of space. i have installed the DVR front camera and the reverse camera that was included with the purchase. the only issue that i had was that this model only now cones with the cigarette lighter plug. i additionally ordered the direct wire that connects to my fuse box which makes my ATOTO almost startup instantly. the install is great and not difficult. I am a regular guy, so anybody can do this install. i would give this product so far a 9 out of 10 mainly because of the non option of the direct wire intall not being an option +3 Here are a few ways to structure your product review, depending on where you plan to post it.Option 1: Catchy & Structured (Best for Amazon)Title: Fantastic standalone screen! Just buy the hardwire kit.Pros:True Independence: Uses its own SIM card. No phone required for data.Perfect Dimensions: Great screen size. Not awkwardly wide like other brands.Complete Package: Includes both front DVR and reverse cameras.Easy DIY: I am just a regular guy. The physical installation was very straightforward.Cons:Power Source: Only includes a cigarette lighter plug in the box.Full Review:I have owned ATOTO products before, so I am familiar with the brand, but this latest item is really awesome. I specifically wanted a car add-on that runs its own apps and holds a SIM card so it does not rely on my phone for a connection. It completely exceeded my expectations.I added it to a vehicle that had Bluetooth but no screen. The display size is perfect. I tried a different brand before this, but it was way too wide and took up too much dashboard space.I installed both the included front DVR camera and the reverse camera. The only issue is that this model only comes with a cigarette lighter plug. I ended up ordering the direct-wire kit to connect it straight to my fuse box. Now, the unit starts up almost instantly.I am just a regular guy, and I found the install great and not difficult at all. Anyone can do it. I give this a solid 9 out of 10, losing one point only because the direct-wire kit isn't included as an option. Highly recommend!Option 2: Short & Punchy (Best for Quick Reading)Title: 9/10 - Awesome standalone screen, highly recommend hardwiring!As a returning ATOTO customer, this latest product is awesome. I wanted a device that runs its own apps and takes a SIM card so it doesn't rely on my phone. It perfectly upgraded my screen-less vehicle.Unlike other awkwardly wide screens I tried, this size is perfect. The included front DVR and reverse cameras work great.The installation is straightforward enough for any regular guy to do. My only complaint is that it only comes with a cigarette lighter plug. I highly recommend buying the separate direct-wire kit for your fuse box—it makes the unit start up instantly. 9/10 because the hardwire kit should be an option!Option 3: Conversational (Best for Forums or Reddit)Title: My thoughts on the new ATOTO standalone screen (9/10)Hey everyone, just wanted to share my thoughts on the latest ATOTO unit. I've used their stuff before, but this one is particularly awesome if you want a true standalone device. It runs its own apps and takes a SIM card, so you don't need your phone connected at all.I put it in a vehicle that only had basic Bluetooth and no screen. The form factor is great—not overly wide like some of the competitors.Hooking up the front DVR and backup camera was pretty easy. I'm just a regular guy, not a pro technician, so anyone can handle this install. The only annoying part is that it only ships with a cigarette lighter adapter. Do yourself a favor and buy the direct-wire fuse box kit separately. It makes the screen boot up instantly. Overall a 9/10, deducted a point solely because the hardwire kit wasn't an option out of the box.

Very fast delivery, works great so far

This is beyond incredible, right off its a 9 inch screen it's big. Next it's basically a huge phone! I set it up inside by signing on to WiFi. Then just synced my Google and contacts, address, GPS, I mean literally just like you would set up your android phone. To hook up in your car, ok this where it's tricky..you plug it into your cigarette lighter! Hello..it's that easy! You can now connect for service to your phone via Bluetooth or hotspot,but it also gives you the option to use a sim card and literally use it like a phone! It even comes with a sample sim with a 100mbs of data to get started. I'm just going to get a tablet sim added to my phone plan and it's done. It syncs easily to your car,phone, anything. Set up voice and just hey Google this, hey Google that, instant answers, directions, scores, make and answer phone calls hands free. Pass it to your passengers or kids to play games watch movies..it can and literally do anything your phone can but bigger and better. And it's just as easy to use. The best part of all of this is no installation! It's plug and play..which also means it's not locked to one car! Take it with you to any vehicle. Use it with any power source with a cigarette lighter! It's completely portable. I can't express enough how simple it is to use and transport and the countless ways to use it. And at only $300! It's a bargain!

This was a much-needed addition to my 2015 Explorer to add CarPlay without having to do a major, more expensive upgrade. The screen size is nice and responsive. I liked the mounting hardware it came with too, allowing me to use my dash. Setting up the Bluetooth connection was easy enough as well as WiFi using my mobile hotspot but I haven’t tried the 4g so I can’t speak to that. I also did not use the provided rear camera since I already have a backup camera but the addition of the front dash camera was a plus. Here’s what I do not like: price $$$ and this is the only reason for 4 stars. It is on the more expensive side compared to similar products but it also feels like a better quality. Some of those others just look cheap which deterred my decision and led me to this one. I would probably get this again and I would definitely recommend it if you have a vehicle without screen mirroring.
