Frequently Asked Questions about our CarPlay and Android Auto screens
What is a CarPlay screen and what exactly can you do with it?
A CarPlay screen is a smart and modern display that wirelessly connects your smartphone to your car's infotainment system. This allows you to use your favorite apps like navigation, music, calling, or messaging directly from your car's screen. Instead of staring at the small phone screen, you can control everything clearly and safely via a larger touchscreen. With a Siltcon CarPlay screen, there's no installation required and you can access Apple CarPlay or Android Auto in under a minute. The screen works completely wirelessly via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, so you no longer need to connect your phone with a cable. You can easily navigate with Google Maps or Waze, control Spotify, or make calls via Siri or Google Assistant. A CarPlay screen transforms any car, new or old, into a modern and smart cockpit where comfort and safety are paramount.
What's the difference between a CarPlay screen and an Android Auto screen?
A CarPlay screen and an Android Auto screen look very similar, but are designed for different smartphones. A CarPlay screen is designed for Apple iPhones, while an Android Auto screen works with Android phones. Most Siltcon screens support both systems, allowing you to switch between iOS and Android without any additional settings. In practice, this means both iPhone and Samsung users can use the same screen. The interface automatically adapts to the type of device you connect. CarPlay works primarily with Siri for voice control, while Android Auto uses Google Assistant. Both offer access to the same functions: navigation, making calls, listening to music, reading and replying to messages. With a Siltcon screen, you have a single device that supports everything, ideal for families or drivers with multiple phones.
Does a CarPlay screen work in every car, even older models?
A major advantage of a Siltcon CarPlay screen is that it's compatible with virtually any car, regardless of year or make. While built-in systems are often only found in newer vehicles, a separate CarPlay screen allows you to modernize even an older car. All you need is a 12V power outlet (the cigarette lighter). The screen comes with a dashboard or suction cup mount, making it easy to install without drilling or screwing. You can connect the screen to the car's speakers via Bluetooth, AUX, or FM transmitter. This means it also works perfectly in cars without a built-in radio with CarPlay or Android Auto. Even in campers, vans, or classic cars, you can now enjoy wireless navigation, hands-free calling, and your favorite music apps.
How exactly does a wireless CarPlay screen work?
A wireless CarPlay screen works by automatically pairing your smartphone via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. As soon as you get in, the screen connects to your phone and immediately displays the CarPlay or Android Auto interface. All data, such as maps, music, and calls, is transferred wirelessly. You control everything via the touchscreen, just as you would on your phone. The Siltcon screens use modern 5G Wi-Fi chips for a lightning-fast, lag-free connection. Because the system works wirelessly, you no longer have messy cables on your dashboard or need to constantly connect your phone. You can also choose whether the audio is sent to your speakers via Bluetooth, AUX, or FM. A wireless CarPlay screen combines the convenience of modern technology with a safe, hands-free driving experience.
How do I install a Siltcon CarPlay screen without technical knowledge?
Installing a Siltcon CarPlay screen is surprisingly simple. Simply place the screen on your dashboard or windshield using the included mount and connect it to the 12V power outlet. Then, turn on your car and pair your smartphone with the screen via Bluetooth. Within seconds, the system automatically connects via Wi-Fi, and CarPlay or Android Auto launches immediately. There's no need to install software or hide any wires behind panels. The entire installation usually takes less than a minute. You can choose from three audio transmission methods: Bluetooth, an AUX cable, or the built-in FM transmitter. This makes the system compatible with any audio system. The plug-and-play design allows you to install the screen yourself without the help of a mechanic or garage.
What is the difference between Siltcon's 7-inch, 9-inch, and 10.26-inch screens?
The various Siltcon CarPlay screens—7-inch, 9-inch, and 10.26-inch—all offer the same basic functionality, but differ in size and features. The 7-inch screen is compact and ideal for smaller dashboards or drivers looking for a discreet solution. The 9-inch screen offers a larger HD display with automatic day/night modes and is perfect for frequent navigation users. The 10.26-inch screen is the largest model with an extra-wide touchscreen and comes standard with a rearview camera for safer parking. All models support wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, voice control, and multiple audio options. The choice depends primarily on your preference for screen size and features. Performance-wise, they are all comparable: fast, clear, and stable thanks to the latest 5G Wi-Fi chip.
Does the CarPlay screen also work with the rearview camera and how do I connect it?
Yes, most Siltcon CarPlay displays come with a rearview camera that's easy to connect. The camera has a wide 170-degree viewing angle and helps you park safely, even in poor visibility. Installation is simple and requires no modifications to your car. You connect the camera to the reversing light's power cable, so the image automatically appears when you engage reverse gear. The image is crystal clear, even in the dark thanks to night vision support. The camera can be mounted above the license plate or on the bumper, depending on your preference. Combined with the CarPlay display, you have a complete safety system, ideal for cars that don't come standard with a parking camera.
Can I also make calls, listen to music and receive messages with the CarPlay screen?
With a Siltcon CarPlay or Android Auto screen, you can make calls, listen to music, navigate, and receive messages without holding your phone. The system mirrors your most important apps on the screen, allowing you to control everything with touch or voice control. You can make hands-free calls via Bluetooth, play music via Spotify or Apple Music, and navigate with Google Maps or Waze. Incoming messages via WhatsApp or SMS are read aloud, and you can reply directly with your voice. Apps like YouTube Music, Deezer, Podcasts, and Google Assistant are also fully compatible. Because everything works wirelessly, your phone stays in your pocket while you stay connected. It's a complete, distraction-free infotainment experience, designed for comfortable and safe driving.
How bright is the screen during the day, for example in bright sunlight?
The brightness of the Siltcon screens is excellent, even in bright sunlight. Thanks to the HD IPS display, colors remain vibrant and text is easy to read from any angle. The screen features an anti-reflective coating, minimizing glare, even in direct sunlight. This makes it ideal for use in convertibles, vans, or vehicles with large windows. The brightness also adjusts automatically via the built-in light sensor. During the day, the screen becomes extra bright, while it dims in the evening for comfortable viewing. This ensures the image remains clearly visible without tiring the eyes. Whether you're navigating, parking, or controlling a playlist, the screen always ensures optimal visibility.
What makes the Siltcon CarPlay screen different from cheaper alternatives on the market?
Siltcon CarPlay screens are distinguished by their high quality, reliability, and ease of use. While cheaper screens often suffer from slow connections, low brightness, or poor sound quality, Siltcon uses premium components such as a 5G Wi-Fi chip, HD IPS display, and Bluetooth 5.0. This allows you to enjoy a stable wireless connection, sharp images, and clear sound without delay. All screens are CE certified and come with a 2-year warranty. Moreover, installation is completely plug and play, requiring no technical expertise. Cheaper alternatives often require complicated setup or additional apps.

Is the screen safe to use while driving?
Yes, safety is one of the most important benefits of a CarPlay or Android Auto screen. Instead of looking at your phone, you control everything via the large touchscreen or with your voice. Via Siri or Google Assistant, you can make calls, send messages, or navigate without taking your hands off the wheel. This reduces distractions and makes driving safer. The screens also feature an automatic day/night mode that prevents the display from becoming too bright in the dark. The rearview camera also contributes to extra safety when parking or reversing.
