Which direction to get Apple Car Play in 2014

[fkheath]

I think its been about 2 years plus with the OEM car play head unit. I have no complaints, it was a nice upgrade.

I would love to get a radio with a larger screen and CarPlay. My issue is I drive long distances, far away from home, so most of my listening is Sirius XM radio. Few if any of the after market radios have XM. Dasaita certainly does not. I can use CarPlay/Google Maps for navigation, so not really needed in the radio.

That leaves only the OEM radio. But all I have been able to find, so far, is $1200, bit much for me.

I ended up buying an Entune unit from a 2021 salvage for $730 with shipping on car-part.com. There was one for $550, but listing said it was scratched. They could not produce an adequate picture showing the scratch, so I passed. There was one for $719 at a Canadian Slavager, but they do not ship to the U.S. Everything else was $1250 and up to $2000.

Have not received the unit but will early this week. Went with the Entune as my wife has one in her 2023 ORP that she likes and knows how to use, so it was best to keep it the same. I did not want to subject her to the Android units.

I’ll update here once it arrives and it’s installed.

good choice be sure to check out an install thread in the forum. Wiring harness made it plug n play and retrofitting the hazard light.
