- With the latest update to the magic box we finally have full screen support and resizing. This has been a large request from the Ford community as sync 4 finally lets you take advantage of the 12” screen in the F150 and Bronco!
I originally got the Magic Box 2.0 to do wireless CarPlay. You actually get much more with then wireless CarPlay. Playing live TV and apps like Hulu, and Netflix works really well! I Wish the screen was entire 14" full screen as there is maybe 1/3 or lil less a seperate box etc., maybe newer version will allow full screen with the 2024 GMC AT4X.
Great info. Thank you for doing this review.
Honestly after making my latest video I personally think the Heyincar+ is the better buy. Not as powerful or feature packed as the 2.0 but seeing how it can be obtained for under $80 it’s a no brainer
As soon as I plugged it in. I did. Or get the full screen support.
Does it go fill screen on android as well?
Just updated my magic box 2.0 to the new version, and now l just get a black screen and blinking blue light on the box, so don't know what to do now. l'm waiting for customer support to answer. l just got it 2 month ago
Took me a few times of unplugging and it finally went back to normal. Sometimes it does that until CarPlay starts. Very weird but common recently.
does this work on ford sync 4?
I just got MB2.0 and am learning it. Question…when I am in the equalizer, it has a visualizer. I can turn it on, but nothing changes? trying to figure out how to see it???
I believe it’s a setting for something that’s not there! I don’t know what it does either.
It’s been 10 months would you still suggest the product? I’m on the fence cause these streaming boxes tend to only work for a little bit and then they turn into bricks. Thoughts?
Actually it’s been 3 years and all I’ve had to do it oil the tracks! It’s faded a little from the sun but I’ve yet to try to restore its color. It’s still strong as I was standing on it last week to wash the roof and I weight 230lbs. I would do it again and will do it again for the next truck!
@@goatk1sorry I meant the Magic Box you reviewed.
@@rickymanzella1771 2) priority needs to be the android system. If you have apps you want to run the that’s why you get it. It’s not an everyday solution. No box is! I like brands like Linkifun and Heyincar because it’s a good product and can do those things for cheap!
Unfortunately i had to return magic 2.0 im going to try elit car box 3.0 and see if thsts any better.
I would say the Heyincar + is the best cheap solution all the others run a hacked android 11
@@goatk1 elite car box im happy with, works great
@@goatk1but does the heyincar+ let me go full screen in my new ford
@@loganhill5190 yeah!
Hello, how did you get it to a full screen ? I have the same truck as you
It’s your truck on the latest update?
Yes, I checked. It is up to date.
@@MauriceWhite-dr2vn ok so go into phone list and switch between your phone and the device. If your phone goes full screen then the device will as well
I will give it a try tomorrow morning. Hope this works. Your video is the only reason why I purchased this. Now I should do all that before or while the device is in my USB port ?
@@MauriceWhite-dr2vn that’s great news I’ve personally done a lot of the research on which units will work with our trucks and the bronco and this is the higher end of those devices. I also recommend a much cheaper device as well that also works but currently this is the spec king. I’ll be here so let me know if you get it.
How you make it to a big screen can you help us
Use CarPlay with iPhone. Go to full screen then swap back to magic box via device screen
@@goatk1 You mean I have to make full screen on car play and switch it from playlist to car link
