Carplay Single Din Option
Posted: Jun 03, 2024 12:52 PM
So, while stuck in the hospital a few weeks ago (healthy, active 49 yo male with raging pneumonia...wtf body??), I couldn't take another episode of Matlock. Which left me with little to do but go down a bunch of car-related rabbit holes. The aftermarket head unit the PO installed on my 535is bit the bullet this winter and I really wanted to get Carplay some how. I found my answer on another forum. (hey, I had a fever and was on industrial strength painkillers. Cut me some slack).

The folks in the Honda S2000 and Ferrari 308 forums are all over them as they don't require a trim plate, install easily, and work. I figured I'd give it a go, grabbed one and installed it yesterday. Gotta say, it does what it says on the tin. Starts up fast, connects faster than my F-150, and sounds no better, no worse than you can expect from 35 year old speakers.

Am I actually the only person who has tried this thing?
