Keep Wired CarPlay, Add Android 11: Inside the ZESTECH
CP-S06 Dual-System AI Box

The CP-S06 keeps your factory wired CarPlay exactly as it is – then quietly adds a second system: a Qualcomm SDM2290 Android 11 environment with 4G SIM LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 — one USB cable, two operating systems, zero head-unit surgery.

CP-S06: the dual-system AI Box – your factory CarPlay stays untouched, while a full Android 11 platform runs alongside it.

What “Dual System” Actually Means

Most AI Boxes replace the CarPlay experience with their own launcher. The CP-S06 takes a different route: it presents dual CarPlay — the factory wired display keeps running your original CarPlay interface, while the ZESTECH AI Box runs alongside it as a second, fully independent Android system. One tap switches between them; neither one interferes with the other.

For fleet managers and conservative buyers this matters – the driver keeps the interface the manufacturer calibrated, and the Android side handles everything the factory system cannot: streaming apps, extra navigation engines, in-cab entertainment, and a cellular connection that works without any phone in the car.

1

Factory CarPlay Preserved

The wired CarPlay channel stays exactly as the manufacturer built it – no risk to warranty-sensitive head units.

2

Android 11 Alongside

A complete second OS with its own storage, apps and network – switch with one tap.

4

4G SIM LTE Onboard

Insert a SIM and the box is online by itself – navigation and media keep working with no phone present.

5

5G Wi-Fi Ready

Dual-band 2.4G + 5G Wi-Fi keeps wireless projection smooth even in crowded RF environments.

Qualcomm SDM2290: Compact Platform, Serious Clock Speed

The CP-S06 runs on the Qualcomm SDM2290 – a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 platform clocked at 2.0GHz. The higher clock (compared with typical 1.4GHz boxes in this class) keeps the launcher, maps and split-screen apps responsive on the road, while the quad-core design sips power and runs cool inside a sealed cabin box.

Wireless CarPlay and Wireless Android Auto

Even though the factory wired channel remains available, most owners end up going fully wireless within a week – the box projects wireless CarPlay and wireless Android Auto over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, reconnects automatically at ignition, and leaves the phone in your pocket where it belongs.

Upgrade the original wired CarPlay into wireless CarPlay – and give Android phones the same cable-free treatment.

Android 11 with 3GB + 32GB

Android 11.0 on 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage is the practical sweet spot for an in-car app platform – fast boot, smooth multitasking between maps and media, and enough space for offline maps plus a compact library of streaming apps. Because the base is a current Android release, the apps that matter in 2026 install and update without complaints.

Media and GPS Navigation on the Original Screen

Media and GPS navigation
Hi-Fi music, HD video and GPS navigation – all rendered on the car's original display through the box.

GNSS (GPS + GLONASS + BeiDou) is built in with its own antenna, so position is ready before any phone connects – the same navigation experience for every driver who gets behind the wheel, which is precisely what fleet operators ask for.
