First SMARTDisplay
[How is it used?
Used for city driving and touring.
I use it with Apple CarPlay.
Was the one you received as per Image?
In fact, when you hold it in your hand, it is surprisingly small.
The screen size is 5-inches, which is almost the same size as X-ADV's Meter.
Was the installation difficult?
It was easy to install as it can be powered from a USB port.
Wiring from Battery is also possible.
How was your experience with it?
I am still using it only for city driving, so I wonder if it is convenient? I am not sure if it is useful or not.
Is the Navigation screen easier to see?
[Included Parts:were they on?
The Mount in Included Parts:was easy to install.
A simple instruction manual is included.
Download the PDFFile from Kijima's website for connection and use.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
We are not yet in full operation. "Honestly, is this how it's going to be?" That's my impression.
It may be due to my usage environment, but sometimes the music gets cut off or I can't hear it.
The connection method is called Smartphone&arrarr;SMARTDisplay&arr;Income, but I can't grasp where the cause is.
I'm using IncomeB+COM SB6X, but I'm not experiencing any interruption in SMARTDisplay and Pairing, so I'm going to wait and see how it goes a bit more.
【Review】
I chose Kijima's Display considering AfterCare and FOR JAPAN MODEL certification because it is sold by JapanManufacturer, although products with the same spec. are sold at a lower price.
Price-wise, the same type of product without KijimaLogo would be considerably cheaper.
It does not have air pressure management or DreEveRecorder like other companies' products, but it may be worth buying if the display alone is sufficient for your needs.
I'm worried about my phone running out of heat in the coming season, so I'm looking forward to seeing how long I can use it.

I only write about the dissatisfactory points! See other Reviews for the good parts!
After installing the product, I went on a touring trip of about 1100km in GW, and I will write what I think of the Negative of this product that I felt at that time.
1. Pairing interruption
Pairing with the phone was disconnected while driving and the map that was being displayed via Android auto disappeared 6 times.
Sometimes the connection was automatically restored immediately after disconnection, and sometimes it was not restored even after 30 minutes. It was a strange and time-consuming process.
I would like to tell you that I have been in trouble more than once because of course it is not possible to redo Pairing with the phone while driving.
I learned after purchasing the Monitor that other companies' Monitors use a Bluetooth 5.0 Tip, while DAYTONA uses an inexpensive Bluetooth 4.2 Tip.
That, too, is a point of dissatisfaction.
The phone is a SONY Xperia1 ii
2. No Pairing
This product has a convenient feature that, after initial Pairing, automatically searches for and connects to the previously connected phone the next time it is activated.
It does not Pairing easily. Every time.
The Instruction Manual says something like Pairing at startup and Android auto startup takes about 1 minute to avoid signal congestion.
Sometimes it takes a minute to connect, but more often it does not connect even after 5 or 10 minutes, not to mention a minute, so when touring in distant areas, I rely on Navigation and was sometimes frustrated because I could not start driving until Android auto started up.
The Instruction Manual says something about trying to connect from the phone side when it is not Pairing, but when there is an automatic connection failure, the Monitor does not respond even if the phone is operated. Even if the phone side searches, Monitor does not receive the search.
I don't know if it is device compatibility with the phone or a software issue, but I would like to see a study focusing on connectivity and a softwareUpdate.
Incidentally, this Monitor can up-date software in USBMemory if the Manufacturer publishes the up-date program.
3. Compatibility with Income from other manufacturers
I usually run with my Touring buddies while talking on Income.
When Android auto started up, Income's Microphone feature would sometimes be turned off, making it impossible to make calls.
I can't figure out the cause and restarting Monitor fixes it.
I have a beacom connected, not a DAYTONA Income, so perhaps there is something on the software side that is causing a conflict.
I don't think we have a choice about this.
Overall
So far, the product has caused more dissatisfaction than satisfaction due to the unstable connectivity with the phone.
There are many good points, such as the fact that the sound is better when connecting Monitor to Income than when connecting Income to a smartphone because it has an equalizer, and the robustness of the mount, which will never fall off. I would like to see the connectivity of this product improved through software updates.
DAYTONA, we are counting on you!

It is quite good.
Although it takes 60 seconds to establish the connection due to the Radio Law, this product uses a soft power supply that shuts down 5 seconds after the ACC power is disconnected, so even if your car model shuts down the ACC power at the time of cell start, as seen in BMW etc., the power will not be turned off when the engine starts. Therefore, if you put on the Helmet and Gloves after turning on the key first, you will be connected to your smartphone by the time you step over and turn on the Cell, and you will not feel the stress of waiting for the connection.
If your vehicle is equipped with a 12~16mm GPS Mount Bracket, the Tanax AIO-5 Mounting Bracket can be used without modification.
The cost performance is great, but the screen size of 4.5-inches is a little insufficient.

Difficult to understand the settings
It does not include a detailed instruction manual, which is a problem when it is not connected to a smartphone.
I set it up while emailing Manufacturer.
Since the Instruction Manual is the same as the Instruction Manual that comes with the DriveRecorder, it is difficult to understand whether it is not displayed due to a defect or whether it was not displayed in the first place.

The installation is Large strange
When I put it on a Full Cowl Motorcycle, I had to remove most of the covers, which was quite Large and strange.
It took 2 days to install the body and position the Camera (including breaks).
BackMonitor was surprisingly usable...I don't think you can overstate the functionality of the BSD!
The Instruction Manual is too unfriendly. It seems to be telling you to learn by touch.
I hesitate to buy Option because it is over 100,000
I guess I was too quick to buy when I thought I could have gotten something comparable for less if I had waited a little longer...
