When shopping for a motorcycle camera with smartphone mirroring, the Aoocci C6 Pro and C9 Max are two contenders. They are both dual-channel systems (front and rear cameras) around the same price (approximately $219 each) and offer wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

In short, the C6 Pro has a larger screen and built-in GPS/navigation, while the C9 Max is slightly more compact and focuses on smartphone-based maps. Let's break down their comparison in terms of design, display, cameras, connectivity, installation, durability, and real-world use.

Design & Display

The Aoocci C6 Pro's 6.25-inch touchscreen is bright and auto-adjustable. The C6 Pro sports a rounded, capsule-shaped bezel around its 6.25-inch IPS LCD screen. Aoocci advertises a " super bright 1000-nit display " with automatic ambient light adjustment, ensuring readability in direct sunlight or at night. In contrast, the C9 Max uses a 5.99-inch IPS display with a narrower rectangular bezel. Its panel has a 1440×720 resolution (compared to 1560×720 for the C6 Pro) and an anti-glare coating for daytime clarity. In practice, both screens are crisp and clear: the C6 Pro's extra width provides space for widgets, while the C9 Max's anti-glare finish helps reduce reflections on sunny days.

The C9 Max's 5.99-inch IPS display has an anti-glare coating and narrow bezels. Under the hood, both run on a Linux-based interface. Both models support split-screen mode to display navigation alongside the route view. The C6 Pro's screen has a slightly higher resolution than the C9 Max's, so text and map details may appear a bit sharper. However, users find the on-screen buttons large enough to be easily typed even while wearing gloves. In short, the C6 Pro offers a more tablet-like experience with its large, bright screen, while the C9 Max trades a bit of size for a slimmer footprint and good sunlight readability .

Cameras & Recording

Both units include front and rear 1080p HD cameras to record every ride. Aoocci states that the C6 Pro's cameras capture "sharp detail and vivid colors" at 1920×1080 resolution, with HDR processing to balance bright and dark areas. Each camera's lens has a field of view of approximately 140° , which is wide enough to cover most of the road without extreme fisheye distortion. Similarly, the C9 Max records both the front and rear in 1080p at 30 fps . In practice, reviews indicate that the video quality is very good for the price. One owner noted that the camera footage was "impressive" and free of vibration artifacts, even at high speeds. Low-light performance is also decent: the C6 Pro advertises night mode recording, and users report clear nighttime captures for both models. Each unit continuously loops the footage and uses the G-sensor lock to protect the clips from accidental deletion. Therefore, in terms of camera specifications, they are essentially at the same level: dual-channel 1080p with a wide field of view and solid day/night performance.

Connectivity & Features

• Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto: The C6 Pro and C9 Max allow you to mirror your phone's screen for navigation, music, and calls. They natively support wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto . This means that once paired, your motorcycle's screen will display maps, messages, or media apps from your phone without the need for any cables.
  
  
• Built-in GPS/Navigation: Here, the C6 Pro has the advantage. It includes its own GPS receiver and can display routes on the screen, tracking your journey even if your phone isn't connected. The C9 Max , however, doesn't have built-in GPS —it relies entirely on your phone's navigation app via CarPlay/Auto. As one reviewer notes, "the C9 doesn't have GPS; it works through your phone," which also means it won't record your speed or route on its own.
  
  
• Tire Pressure Monitoring: Both models can work with Aoocci's wireless tire sensors. The C9 Max actually includes front and rear TPMS sensors by default. The C6 Pro supports the same sensors (sold separately), displaying real-time pressure and temperature on the screen. If you value tire data, both systems will manage it once the sensors are installed.
  
  
• Bluetooth & Wi-Fi: Both units come with Bluetooth 5.0 and dual-band Wi-Fi . These allow for quick pairing with a headset or phone for data transfer. The C6 Pro even supports Bluetooth 1-to-2 (phone + headset simultaneously) , which is convenient for wearing a headset while using your phone in the background.

In short, the connectivity features are very similar. Both will happily stream your phone's GPS, but only the C6 Pro has standalone navigation if you prefer an all-in-one solution . Both support hands-free calling and media via CarPlay/AA , and both can display tire data with optional sensors.

Installation & Configuration

A sturdy metal handlebar mount holds the C6 Pro securely in place. Installing either unit is essentially plug-and-play. Aoocci provides a mount that attaches to standard handlebars, and an adjustable ball joint arm secures the screen. In practice, users find the attachment quick and easy. The C6 Pro manual explains: "Mount the base to your motorcycle's handlebars and attach the screen using the adjustable ball joint mount. Installation is quick and requires no special tools." Then, you run the cables for the front and rear cameras to position their small cameras on the motorcycle (usually under the headlights or on the fender) and plug everything in.

In use, setup is straightforward. One user reports that after mounting the unit and cameras, all he had to do was connect the dash cam's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to his phone (an iPhone 14 in his case), pair the TPMS sensors, and that was it—"everything works as it should." Note that both units require a wired connection to the motorcycle's power supply. They use a switched 12V ACC cable (no continuous USB power), so you'll need to connect it to the ignition circuit. This can be a bit tricky if you're not comfortable with motorcycle wiring. Some users have been surprised that "you can't use USB-C to power it for longer," meaning you really need to hide the power cable under the dashboard.

Durability & Waterproofing

The C6 Pro and C9 Max are built to withstand the elements. Each unit has an IP67 rating , so they are completely dustproof and can withstand heavy rain (immersion up to 1 meter). Aoocci notes the operating range of -10°C to 60°C for the C6 Pro, which should cover most riding climates. The housings are robust: the C6 Pro uses a durable ABS body with metal mounting hardware , while the C9 Max has an aluminum shell on its back panel. Both feel sturdy and vibration-free on the handlebars. The C6 Pro even adds anti-theft screws to the mount, so it can't be easily ripped off when you leave your motorcycle. In practice, users have operated both cameras in wet, cold, and dusty conditions without any issues . In short, neither device is a delicate phone screen—they are built to ride in the rain or the sun.

Driving Experience

In real-world use, both units received praise from users. Users consistently mentioned that the touchscreens are responsive even with gloves . The interface is simple and lag-free. The C6 Pro's optional wired remote is a nice bonus: it lets you trigger recordings or pause music with a button on the handlebars, which is handy if you're riding with thick gloves. One owner noted that the on-screen buttons are already quite large, making the device "much better than I expected" for use with gloves. The C9 Max, without a remote, still works well via the touchscreen—just choose touchscreen-compatible gloves.

Both display the front/rear camera feeds smoothly. Users report that the video is stable even on rough roads: "no vibration or video feed issues" was one comment after testing on winding roads . Another praised the image clarity , calling it "impressive" on local roads. In bright sunlight , the screens remain clear (thanks to the high brightness and anti-glare coating), and in shade or at night, the cameras capture enough light to see detail. A couple of practical complaints emerged: neither unit has a dedicated power button, so they turn on/off with the motorcycle's ignition (you can lock the blank screen on the C6 Pro, but there's no separate sleep switch ). Also, the C9 Max's need for a wired power connection means you can't just unplug a USB-C cable—it's a permanent installation. These are minor inconveniences in an otherwise smooth experience.
