The A3221 houses a 7" touchscreen inside a standard single DIN chassis via a motorised flip-out mechanism. At rest, the screen folds flat and the unit sits flush in your dash — no protrusion, no exposed display. When you start the car, it opens automatically. When you park, it folds back in. It's a practical solution for drivers who want a large screen without a permanent footprint in the cabin.
Wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, FM/RDS radio, Bluetooth, steering wheel controls, and reverse camera input. The 7" IPS panel at 1024×600 is the same quality you get in any fixed 7" unit at this price — the difference is purely the motorised housing.
Practical note: Motorised mechanisms add a point of complexity that fixed units don't have. This unit comes with a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects including the motor mechanism.
