Portable CarPlay screens offer affordable upgrade for older cars

These aftermarket devices, available for under $150, provide access to iPhone apps like navigation and music on the dashboard. Key considerations when purchasing include screen size (6-11 inches), resolution (at least 1280x720), audio output options (AUX, Bluetooth, FM), and wireless connectivity, with some models also offering dash or rear cameras.
