Road Top 8.8"/8.9" CarPlay Screen

I was able to get the mirroring to work after disconnecting the wifi and signing back in. YouTube streams fine, but anyone able to get around the HDCP on Netflix, Amazon video, etc? Netflix just blacks out the screen and Amazon has an HDCP notice.

I got the latest firmware for the 8.9 Road Top from them, so whoever has that can upgrade to the latest


lutuo-8.9-2025.04.10-v3.0.6：

System software upgrade method:
Use an 8GB USB flash drive, format it as FAT32
1. Unzip the file, copy the software inside to a USB flash drive, and then connect it to the provided USB cable interface.
2. Turn on the car and go to Linux screen settings → System → Software upgrade → Select system upgrade (wait for the USB flash drive to be recognized and confirm √ upgrade).
3. An update progress bar will pop up, and the screen will automatically restart after the upgrade is completed in about 2-3 minutes.

Why is my upgraded version 2025.04.10-v3.0.5?

i have an 09 LX, pre bluetooth for music. I scrolled the 29 pages and i guess i overlooked but would i utilize the 3.5 mm jack on the unit, fish the wire down and plug it into the aux cord hole on the console? then use my phone and bluetooth to the unit for carplay?

You can get a Bluetooth dongle that has 3.5 mm plug and usb power. It can look pretty sleek. Here’s an example, there are many such things. https://www.amazon.com/Isobel-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Receiver-Headphones/dp/B08DR5R4P5
