Carplay Head Unit

Has anyone installed a Carplay capable double din head unit in a P80? I will likely do one in this car as it has no way to hook up an auxiliary cable to play music etc. Any tips or product reviews appreciated.

Thanks,

Missed a few Black Friday sales on those. I saw AA/Carplay units for $250 or so.

I’ve been thinking about a double din unit from time to time. There a couple of Kenwood units that fit pretty perfectly - there’s a few YT videos of that floating around, so check that out. Not CarPlay, but it might give you an idea of the dimensions and the install kit you’d need.

I prefer the stock look but I can't deal with not being able to hook my phone up. My last new truck had Carplay but I ditched it because I hated the truck and picked up a cherry older truck to leave in the garage while I drive this car for daily duty.

I sometimes need to talk on the phone while driving for work so bluetooth carplay capabilities are very handing in the daily ride.

Will let everyone know what I end up doing and how well it works. Some of the new ones are getting reviews that rival OE options.

What about the Grom:

or Yatour options:

Heck yeah! I think I will go that route and retain the stock face. Aftermarket stuff looks tacky to me usually and from what I remember this car had a pretty excellent sound system as is.

Any personal experience with either of the two?

Thanks!
