maroonplatoon87 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Hi I’ve recently purchased a new motor and I’m looking to have Apple CarPlay installed. Watched a few videos on YouTube etc but it’s way out of my depth. Anyone else had it done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronJambo Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Does the car not need to come with it? I'm not sure you can just add stuff like that on. My car has Android and Apple car play on it but I can't mess around with it and add on or take things away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maroonplatoon87 Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 Some places seem to sell it pre loaded onto a USB that connects to the car. Unless I’ve got the wrong end of the stick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronJambo Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 It's shite in any case. Maybe useful for navigation if you've not got a decent system in the car. Using your phone as a music player via USB covers the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutley Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Will depend on the car. Some will let you change the head unit for a newer model, some like landrover won’t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can use Alexa too for voice control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
