The Seventour S9 Pro is a portable 9-inch touchscreen that sits on the dashboard and adds Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to a car that lacks them. It also has a built-in dash cam. It is aimed at drivers of older vehicles who want maps, music and calls on a bigger screen without replacing the factory stereo.
What it does
Seventour says it supports both wireless and wired connections to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. After pairing a phone by Bluetooth, apps such as Google Maps, Spotify and WhatsApp show on the screen, and Siri or Google Assistant can take voice commands, so you can keep your hands on the wheel. Always follow local laws on screen use while driving.
The 9-inch screen
The IPS touchscreen has a resolution of 1024 x 600 and can run in full-screen or split-screen modes. IPS panels generally keep colour and contrast better from an angle, which matters for a screen mounted off to one side. Because it sits on top of the dashboard, Seventour says it does not block the driving view, though you should check the position suits your car's windscreen shape.
Built-in dash cam and rear camera
The unit carries a 4K front camera and a 1080P rear camera. Seventour says it starts recording automatically when switched on, and supports loop recording and gravity sensing. Loop recording overwrites the oldest footage when the card is full, and a gravity sensor typically protects a clip when it detects a sudden impact. The listing also names forward collision warning and lane departure warning, and recordings can be played back on the screen. Treat such warnings as an aid, not a replacement for attention.
Memory card
The camera supports a micro SD card up to 256GB with U3 speed. The listing mentions a 64GB card supplied with the unit, so confirm that this is in the box when you order.
Audio options
Sound can go out over Bluetooth to the car's speakers. FM transmission and an AUX output are also supported. Quality varies: AUX is typically the cleanest if your car has the input, while FM can pick up interference.
Power and installation
It runs from a 12-24V cigarette lighter cable, so it can be used in cars, SUVs, trucks, RVs and semi trucks. Seventour says installation is a DIY job following the manual. The unit measures about 9.8 x 3.8 x 0.7 inches (25 x 9.7 x 1.8 cm) and weighs 2.2 lb (1 kg).
Who it suits
It suits drivers of cars with no CarPlay or Android Auto who want a movable unit rather than a fitted head unit, and who also want a dash cam.
What to check before you buy
- Phone compatibility: confirm that your phone supports wireless CarPlay or Android Auto.
- Placement: check the screen position, cable routing and that it doesn't obstruct your view.
- Laws: rules on dash-mounted screens, recording video and audio differ by region.
- Audio route: see whether your car has an AUX input, or if you will use FM.
- Card: choose a suitable U3 micro SD card if one isn't included.
- Support: read the warranty terms in the paperwork.
