New navigation head unit with CarPlay
New navigation head unit with CarPlay
If I were to upgrade I really think this is the direction I would go. Very nice and modern. I would love to see someone do this or talk about the best what to integrate this system in a 430 with Nav. The reviews are fantastic. I bet Google will be following suit soon.
Pioneer this week released its CarPlay firmware update, making it the first aftermarket receiver manufacturer to offer CarPlay to consumers. Among Pioneer's U.S. models, CarPlay is available for the $1400 AVIC-8000NEX, the $1200 AVIC-7000NEX, the $900 AVIC-6000NEX, the $750 AVIC-5000NEX and the $700 AVH-4000NEX. CarPlay is also compatible with Pioneer's new $600 smartphone receiver, AppRadio 4. Consumers can generally find Pioneer's units at significant discounts from list price from a variety of retailers.

The Beatsonic kit is for units without Navigation correct? I thought the Original post wanted to add this double din to an LS that had the factory nav...
Regardless- Google has had a Car Home app since 2011. It's not great- but they've had it:

They also announced a more Apple type approach in June of this year:

As far as the Pioneer AppRadio head units- they are compatible with Android phones- here's an interesting video
If your Android is rooted- well- then you can get full phone access from your dash:
Hope that's helpful.

kenwood has some nice units like these also..
I have personally played around with the kenwood, they are pretty nice..
Give M.S.Electronics.Inc a call, they are in Chamblee. 770-451-4591. I am sure they can special order whatever unit your interested in

from me! Not sure how I missed that when I went looking some time ago...Great to know, should my system go belly up or I'm just bored in a few years- this could be a lot of fun to add such a system. Not sure that wood kit looks so smooth- anyone know if the paint is an exact match on the plastic? For $400, I should hope so.

Apple Carplay for 2002 RX300?
I'm an Apple device addict, and very much want to get Apple Carplay into a 2002 RX300. Can anyone please tell me if, and how, this might be possible?? Thanks so much! I know this is an old thread so I may post this same question in other similar threads. I'm new to the forum. Someone correct me if I break the rules!! Thanks. PS The above Pioneer unit mentioned does seem to allow SOME Apple things, such as SIRI, but does not mention Apple Carplay.
