Description
The Magic Monitor puts a live 1080P view of your back seat on the screen your car already has. Clip the camera to the headrest, and you can check on a kid or a dog without turning around.
It's also a full wireless CarPlay adapter. Plug the dongle into your USB port once and your iPhone connects on its own from then on. Split-screen and picture-in-picture let you keep your route and your back seat on the display at the same time.
Infrared night vision keeps the picture clear after dark. Nothing is recorded and nothing is uploaded. The feed goes from the camera to your dashboard and stops there.

Rear monitoring and wireless CarPlay
Most people buy a rear-seat camera and a CarPlay adapter separately, then hunt for somewhere to put both. The Magic Monitor does both jobs, using the screen already bolted into your dash.
Watch the back seat without missing a turn
Split-screen puts your route and your rear view side by side. Picture-in-picture tucks the camera into a corner while navigation runs full size. You stop choosing between the two.
1080P view. 150° coverage.
Sharp enough to see whether their eyes are open. Wide enough to catch both car seats, the dog, and whatever just got thrown at the window. Tilt the lens and lock in your angle.
Clear view, day or night
Infrared night vision keeps the back seat visible on the darkest stretch of road. No dome light, no phone flashlight, no waking a sleeping baby just to check on them.
Two ways to mount. Both take a minute.
No tools, no wiring, no trim panels.
Strap it on the headrest
Loop the cross strap around any standard headrest and cinch it down.
Clip it onto the metal rods
Snap the clip onto the headrest posts for a lower, tighter fit.
Plug and play
Connect the camera cable and the adapter to your USB ports. That's the install.

FAQs
Not finding your question? Please read our FAQs page or check out our Help Center 📝
Will this work in my car?
Your car needs factory wired Apple CarPlay and must be a 2016 model year or newer. Quick test: plug your iPhone in with a cable. If CarPlay comes up on your screen, you're good. If your car only has wireless CarPlay, or only Android Auto, this is not the right product for you.
Does it work with Android phones?
No. The CarPlay function is iPhone only. The camera itself will still run on any car that can display it, since camera mode only needs power, but the wireless connection features require an iPhone.
Do I need a separate screen?
No. That's the point. Everything shows up on the display already in your dashboard.
Is the camera wireless?
The camera connects by cable. The phone connection is wireless. Make sure both USB ports are data ports, not charge-only.
Is my kid being recorded?
No. The Magic Monitor streams live and stores nothing. There is no recording, no cloud upload, and no app holding footage.
How long does installation take?
About a minute. Strap or clip the camera to the headrest, plug in the two USB connections, done. No tools, no wiring, no trim panels.
Can I use it without CarPlay?
Yes. Camera mode runs independently. Give the camera power and it displays, phone or no phone.
Can I see the back seat and my map at the same time?
Yes. Use split-screen for both at equal size, or picture-in-picture to keep navigation full size with the camera in the corner.
