Maybe you should consider buying a 7-inch Alpine Freestyle System with Apple Car Play and Android Auto. Just a thought.

Nice. Ive been doing plenty of research but just curious as to why did you end up preferring the Bearsonic setup vs navtool? Carplay is there for both and around the same price

Beatsonic is for used to keep the steering wheel controls and alternate the OEM monitor with the integration of a new radio headunit. NavTool/NavIKS is to allow an two additional VIDEO inputs to the OEM display. Just wanted to clarify that. NavTool and Beatsonic have different functions when compared to each other.

I wonder if the Axxess ASWC-TOY-LEX Steering Wheel Control Adapter (carried by Crutchfield) would be a good substitute for the Beatsonic. It only costs $55.

That might work! Its honestly crazy to pay $400 for just an audio interface. dont even use the steering buttons...

so I ended up going a different route, will share the info once I know it works
