Default Car Play

Hey, just wondering, has anyone installed Apple Car Play in their SC? I have upgraded the stereo with the Beatsonic and Pioneer radio. I read a recent article by Consumer Reports, and they liked it. Just wondering from the field...

Thank you for the pics. That looks great! The nav screen where the back up is, is that the original screen? What year is your SC? It looks really, really nice!

Installed the new Pioneer AVH-X8650 head unit, new nav screen, rear camera, all new hertz speakers, enclosed sub and new amp. Everything is voice command but still retained the steering wheel controls. The sound is amazing. Much better than the ML. The features are everything you could want in a new car.

"Throw" I like what you did with the laminated back panel that matched the dash wood venere. Did you make the piece, or have it made?

I wish I had the skill set and patience to handle this type of job but the shop fabricated all of it. I am thrilled the car is updated into 2015. I also bought the RX-8 spare tire and had them do that mod! Now we are reupholstery the leather seats. Will post complete pics when everything is done..

Throw, DarthSid, you are correct, the matched wood veneer is beautiful!

Throw,

It looks beautiful. Where in Florida are you located. We go back and forth between Ft Lauderdale and Sarasota.

Throw that looks awesome. I can't wait to see your finished product with seats and all. This is exactly what I am looking to do for my SC430 so I am very interested in your outcome.

If you don't mind telling us, how much did the stereo installation run for parts and labor?

I recently bought the car from one of the CL members in Seattle. The work was/is being completed out there and when finished I will have the car shipped to me in Fort Lauderdale. The previous owner has been outstanding. Some of you will recognize the car from ryanssc430 posts

Congratulations on the purchase. I love his car. Does it come with air suspension?
