Finally - wireless CarPlay coming

[KevinC]

And it's the shallow Alpine unit and will fit our dash nicely..

Price?

[KevinC]

$900 list, available in February

Fingers crossed

$900 seems outrageously high, but this does check all the boxes, especially with wireless CarPlay, which allegedly doesn't even impact battery life. If I wind up getting one I'll get the old crappy H/K speakers ripped out too, or maybe the whole system and go with a decent new amp too. But the $$ total by doing all of that would be eye-watering.

[Johnmadd]

Yeah, that's a lot of money.

Curious how it would fit in the dash with the standard Nav size opening.

You'd most likely have to use the aftermarket radio panel with this one as this won't be as wide as the factory nav, like this:

What's the maximum depth for a double-din so that the AC ducting doesn't need to be modified?

I'm looking at the Kenwood Car Play models.

So many dollars...

This...^^^ Eonon GA6150 has Bluetooth connectivity, no need for an aux jack
