I drive a 2008 Camry. This gadget brought it into the 2020s for less than $200. My wife even wants one now. Huge win.

I’m not a tech guy. At all. If I can get this working, anyone can. It’s foolproof.

Game changer for my old Tacoma. Took two minutes to set up. Now I’ve got maps and Spotify right there. Why pay for a new stereo?

The best part? It’s portable. I use it in my work van during the day and pop it into my personal car for trips. Two cars upgraded for the price of one.

I was honestly shocked by how good the built-in mic is. Called my mom on the highway and she said it sounded clearer than my car’s built-in system. Big win.

Setup took three minutes. Plug, find a clear FM station, connect Bluetooth. Done. The fact it’s this simple is genius.

The 4K dashcam already paid for itself. Someone merged into my lane and hit me. The footage made the insurance claim a non-issue. Total peace of mind.

The screen doesn’t glare in the sun. Huge plus. I can actually see the map at noon.

Used it in a rental Jeep on vacation. Plugged it in and had Waze guiding us in under five minutes. Felt like a local. Lifesaver.

Sound quality through the AUX cable is legit. My old JBL speakers sound brand new. Didn’t expect that.

Bought it for the CarPlay. The dashcam was a bonus. Now I won’t drive without it.

Frequently Asked Questions

You have questions. We have answers.

Q1: What exactly is DashSidekick?

DashSidekick is your all-in-one, plug-and-play driving companion. It’s a powerful 10-inch screen that you simply plug into your car’s power outlet to instantly add modern features like Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a protective 4K dashcam to any vehicle. Think of it as a five-minute tech upgrade that makes your older or rental car feel smart, safe, and connected—without any permanent installation.

Q2: How long does it take to set up? Is it really that easy?

Yes, it’s incredibly easy. In most cases, you'll be up and running in under 5 minutes. Just plug the DashSidekick into your car's 12V outlet (cigarette lighter), connect it to your car speakers wirelessly via the FM transmitter (or with the included AUX cable), and pair your phone via Bluetooth. No tools, wiring, or technical knowledge is needed.

Q3: Will this work in my specific car?

Absolutely. DashSidekick is designed to work with any car, truck, or van that has a 12V power outlet and a radio. Whether you drive a 1998 sedan or a rented moving truck, you can enjoy a modern driving experience. It’s the universal solution for upgrading your ride.

Q4: I'm not tech-savvy. Will I be able to use this?

Definitely. We designed DashSidekick for everyone, not just tech experts. The touchscreen is intuitive, and once your phone is paired, it works just like Apple CarPlay or Android Auto does in a new car. If you can use a smartphone, you can use your DashSidekick.

Q5: What’s the difference between this and a regular phone mount?

A phone mount just holds your phone. DashSidekick transforms your driving experience. It gives you a massive 10" screen for better visibility, true hands-free voice control for safety, a built-in 4K dashcam for protection, and wireless connectivity that eliminates tangled cables. It’s a complete in-car system, not just a holder.

Q6: Does the dashcam record all the time?

Yes. Once plugged in, the dual dashcam automatically begins recording your journey in high-definition 4K, providing continuous protection and a reliable record of your drive. It loopsrecordings, saving the footage automatically.

Q7: What if my car doesn’t have a great stereo? Will the audio sound good?

Yes. The built-in FM transmitter delivers a clear, strong signal to your car's stereo system. For the best possible sound, we recommend using the included AUX cable for a direct wired connection, which provides excellent audio quality on any system.

Q8: Is this a permanent installation?

Not at all. That’s the best part! DashSidekick is completely portable. You can easily move it between vehicles in seconds. Take it with you on trips, use it in a rental car, or simply unplug it when you leave your vehicle for security.

Q9: What if I have an Android phone?

No problem! DashSidekick is fully compatible with both Apple CarPlay (for iPhones) and Android Auto (for Android phones), so everyone can enjoy the same seamless, big-screen experience.

Q10: What’s included in the box?

You get everything you need to start your upgrade: the DashSidekick 10" unit, a 12V power adapter, an AUX cable, reverse camera, and a simple quick-start guide.
