Default Apple CarPlay - USA Market

Have any of the USA XKR owners used this company for the Apple CarPlay mod ? I have some inquiries into them, but of course its Sunday and no support.

Thanks in advance, I didn't want to post this on the other threads from the DIY guys incase there was a conflict.

Cheers and happy motoring.

Eric

No experience with them, but if their description is correct, in that it uses the AUX input, the Mr12Volt solution sounds like a better choice for almost 1/2 the price.

Here is their email response.
Will call tomorrow to get more details

For the Carplay/Android Auto kit to work with your factory touchscreen, a custom ribbon cable needs to be installed internally. Given the technical expertise required and the delicate nature of the process, we need to perform this modification in-house. We'll not only install the cable but also set up and calibrate the unit, streamlining the installation process for you. Same-day turnaround is available if your screen arrives by noon. Reach out if you have any questions.

I would go Mr12V.
they have fantastic support if you have issues during install and many many video walk throughs out there.
And under $500.

I asked and here was their response:

Being as Mr12volt put so much development into this, I will be purchasing from him and supporting him.

Thanks for everyone's input
