A smart and cheap way to have Android Auto and CarPlay in an old car! This multimedia display also got six hundred crowns cheaper

Do you have an older car and envy your friends’ native Apple CarPlay or Android Auto in their dashboard? Replacing the original radio with a smart unit costs 5 to 10 thousand plus installation, and for some cars, it’s not even possible. The Sencor SCT M1060BWT, priced at 2,399 CZK after discount, solves this problem differently — you attach it to the dashboard, pair it with your phone, and you have full-fledged navigation, music, and hands-free calling. The discount code SENCORMAYAUDIODAYS20 drops the original price of 2,999 CZK by 600 CZK.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you have an older car without built-in CarPlay/Android Auto and don’t want to spend money on replacing the radio. After starting, the Sencor automatically pairs with your phone and starts navigation. Customer rating 4.7/5 from 16 verified purchases.
⚠️ Consider that the display’s fluidity is not on par with more expensive infotainment systems, and the mounts need to be screwed in — you can’t just easily remove the display from the car. Audio transmission via FM frequency may fluctuate in busier areas; AUX or Bluetooth is better.
💡 For 2,399 CZK, you get a 10.26″ IPS touchscreen display with 1060 × 600 resolution, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, Wi-Fi 5 GHz, Bluetooth 5.0, a microSD slot up to 256 GB, voice control, a built-in microphone and 2W speaker, USB-C power, and a 1080p rearview camera included in the package.

Who it’s for

The target group is clear: owners of cars roughly older than eight years that do not have infotainment with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay support. One customer on Alza describes how they connected the Sencor to a twenty-year-old car and praises that it automatically connects to the mobile and starts navigation after starting the engine. For a car that would otherwise need a complete modernization costing tens of thousands, this is an elegant shortcut.

Sencor will also be appreciated by drivers who want navigation via Mapy.cz, Waze, or Google Maps in a better format than on a small phone screen. Sound can be transmitted in three ways — via FM frequency to the car radio, AUX cable, or phone’s Bluetooth. The last option is the most practical because you won’t lose the car’s built-in hands-free and steering wheel buttons will still work.

What you get for 2,399 CZK

The package is surprisingly rich. In addition to the display itself, there’s a 1080p rearview camera, which activates automatically when reverse gear is engaged, a 360° windshield mount, two types of dashboard mounts (soft and hard), a 12–24V adapter usable in trucks, and a 3.5mm jack cable.

However, it’s not a solution without compromises. The system’s fluidity is comparable to basic Android tablets, and in some scenarios, you’ll notice minor delays. Also, be aware of the mounts — they are screwed to the display and cannot be quickly removed, so if you plan to take the display out of the car every time you park in the city, it will be impractical. For daily commutes and longer trips, however, it’s one of the most advantageous ways to modernize an older car.

Would you solve the absence of CarPlay in an older car with an external display, or would you be deterred by the fact that it has to be mounted on the dashboard?
