Description
The PERNIS CP2 Touch redefines in-car entertainment by bridging the gap between restricted factory infotainment systems and the versatility of the Android ecosystem. Designed for drivers who demand more than just basic smartphone mirroring, this device acts as a standalone Android 13 computer, powered by the robust Qualcomm QCM6125 8-core chipset. Its standout feature is the 2.1-inch integrated touchscreen, which provides tactile control and status monitoring without needing to touch the main dashboard display, all housed in a sleek, watch-inspired chassis.

Operating the CP2 Touch feels fluid thanks to the 8GB of RAM, which handles heavy applications like Google Maps and Spotify simultaneously without stuttering. The interface offers three distinct modes—Video, Card, and Split-Screen—allowing for a personalized dashboard layout. The inclusion of an HDMI output is a significant advantage, enabling connection to external headrest monitors for a true theater experience, while the MyCAM integration provides a seamless way to view footage from compatible Polaroid or Pernis dashcams.
Compared to standard plug-and-play CarPlay adapters, the PERNIS CP2 Touch is in a different league. While basic adapters only facilitate wireless projection, the CP2 Touch functions as a secondary computer. Its dedicated 2.1-inch screen offers a level of hardware interaction that competitors lack, and the ability to switch between the car’s native GPS and the device's internal GPS ensures superior signal reliability in tunnels or dense urban environments.
