I’m curious if anyone has any experience with the Magic Box, with the Bronco or with another vehicle?. Seems like a cool (albeit pricey) product that allows you to stream content to the main display via CarPlay.

I really wish they weren't so much money, it's a lot and seems like there's some possible customer service issues if it doesn't go perfect

I have one of these and it works as described. Not all apps are available. I was really hoping the Spectrum TV app would work, but Spectrum locks it down. Netflix, Hulu, FoxNews, Nest and Amazon Prime Video all work great. I am also trying to get it connected to a JB4 for gauges.

So is the Magic Box the original that has Chinese copies, or is it one of the Chinese units with better marketing? I've seen cheaper brands with the same case.

Jut got the Magic Box and it never seems to connect to either the Bronco or the Bronco's WiFi. Is there some trick to this? The website has nothing for support and of course the poorly written troubleshooting tips are useless.

Mine looks different but the concept in is likely the same...mine is a MMB box...
Plug in USB, wait for intro to start, then go into settings and then wifi, then set up your wifi password.

I figured it out. I didnt realize that my phone being connected to CarPlay would block my Magic Box from being able to use CarPlay. You can only have 1 at a time. Work fine.

I like it a lot. Yes, I have it on a 12" display, but it doesn't use all the screen real estate..,. Very good product.

Had one of those for the house, even with fiber it would glitch and freeze from time to time. I know it wasn't the TV because normal streaming works perfect with the same movies

I just bought one. I tried labor as a discount code and it dropped the price by almost 100 bucks. Just a heads up if anyone 3lse is thinking about this.

Bumping this back up. They have a 20% off coupon "MAGIC" right now and a multi-vehicle discount.

Can I run GPS software on the magic box?

I need to run a program not part of Android Auto.

If so, does it get the GPS from my bronco or does magic box have one built in?
