Which Apple CarPlay stereo should I choose?
Wireless CarPlay connects automatically when you get in, while wired models connect over USB and charge your phone at the same time. Check whether your dash takes a single DIN or double DIN unit; floating-screen models bring a large display to a single DIN slot. If you travel through poor signal areas, an AVIC-Z unit with built-in navigation is worth considering.
Apple CarPlay FAQs
Q: Do I need an iPhone to use Apple CarPlay?
A: Yes. CarPlay runs from a compatible iPhone. Android phone users should look for a unit that also lists Android Auto.
Q: Is wireless CarPlay worth it?
A: It is convenient for short journeys because your phone connects without a cable. Wired CarPlay keeps your phone charged on longer trips.
Q: Can CEN fit my Apple CarPlay stereo?
A: Yes. Our Beeston, Nottingham workshop can supply and fit your CarPlay unit, including steering wheel controls, microphone and wiring.
