Comparison Table

In this table, we show how the MagicBox enhances the app catalog experience
With MagicBox
Без коробочки
All apps install without confirmation. Click "Install" for 10 apps in a row and go on with your day (like driving your route)
In the app store, you must manually click "Install" for every single app
Install any app on all your car’s displays directly from the driver’s screen
Each app must be installed individually on every screen
All required permissions are granted automatically during installation
Some apps require special permissions — to grant them, you need to connect a laptop and run the MagicTool utility (e.g. for radar detectors, navigation, or a "Back" button)
Download an APK file onto a USB flash drive, plug it into the armrest, and install the app directly from it
Installing apps from a USB flash drive is not possible
Connecting the MagicBox for pre-restyling models unlocks the LiDashBoard app in the store — a detailed technical dashboard
Some apps won’t work long-term — after every reboot, you’ll need to connect a laptop to re-grant permissions
The RearScreen app mirrors the rear display and can be controlled from the passenger or driver’s seat (great for cartoons, for example)
The RearScreen app is not available in the catalog and won’t work
MagicBox installs apps with one click — quickly install popular apps on all displays or remove third-party apps
You need to connect a laptop and run our installer every time
Disable the voice assistant in the CarSupport app, which consumes 70% of CPU resources
This feature is not available
Once installed, MagicBox works silently in the background — it doesn’t interfere with car updates and requires no action before them
You must follow our social media group to learn about issues with new firmware and what to do before updates
Enable auto-updates in settings and forget about tracking news
You have to manually check the app catalog, tap on updates, wait for them to download, and click "Install"

Video Instruction for Pre-Restyle Models

Due to the unavailability of certain video platforms in specific countries, we have uploaded the video instruction to three different sources. Links are provided below

Video Instruction for All Restyle Models

There are three ways to connect the MagicBox for all newer models, also known as "Restyle" — including all new cars from L6 to L9 and Mega. Below you’ll find the three connection options. The choice is yours. All details are described below

Why Does This Happen with Restyle Models?

On all restyled models, developers included a feature that cuts power to the ports after every telematics reboot. To restore power, you need to put the car to "sleep" , as described in the instructions above. This can happen frequently — for example, after a system update or a reboot initiated from the steering wheel.

If "Cabin Sleep Mode" is disabled, the car may automatically enter sleep mode at night and restore power upon waking up. However, if you don’t want to deal with performing these steps manually, we recommend using Option 2 and enjoying uninterrupted use of the device.

Please note that power must be drawn from the cigarette lighter port , not from the USB ports in the rear or in the center console, as those often provide unstable or incorrect power.

How It Works?

Connect the MagicBox
After connecting the device, both the blue and green LEDs on the box should light up. After a short while, one of them may turn off. Make sure to follow the video instruction provided above for correct connection
What if the LEDs don’t light up?
Ensure that Sentry Mode is disabled (the red eye icon in the top status bar). Lock the car and leave it undisturbed with the MagicBox connected for 15 minutes . After that, unlock the vehicle — the LEDs should now be lit
Great! Everything is ready
Now, just wait for your car’s screen to display the connection authorization prompt. After some time, our CarModApps store will appear on all screens.
We recommend waiting 15−20 minutes after the store appears to allow the new firmware to fully download and install onto the MagicBox. You can monitor the progress via the star icon in the top-right corner of the store
Done!
You’re all set. Now you can use the store to its full potential: apps will install and uninstall without confirmation prompts, and all required permissions will be granted automatically. You can also enable auto-updates for hassle-free maintenance
