    Apple CarPlay head units

    My concern with these Chinese-led brands is component and software quality. The installation effort is the largest project expense so if it becomes problematic in 12 months (warranty or not) cost savings are nullified. Online reviews are mixed which is typical at this price point. Kenwood has...

While I have the dash open I am installing the compatible camera that connects to the back of the head unit (and not a USB/cigarette lighter adapter). Everything else quick-connected with the Crutchfield pre-wired harness...
