Looks great Chris!
Can i ask where you got it from (is it the unichips one?), and where you put the box? Behind the dash?
And is there any chance you might remember any of the particular installation steps that would have been helpful to know in advance?
Many thanks!

To be fair, I’ve hated apple maps for years. Sat in a courtesy car this week with CarPlay, so thought id try out the functionality with this thread in mind.
I was pleasantly surprised at how much better apple maps has got. Much more useful layout of info, like current speed limit. Seems to be a bit behind the cutting edge on traffic, not quite as rapidly updates as google maps or Waze, BUT way better than Audi nav without traffic.
I could be tempted with a group buy.
I’ve already been in contact with the supplier about purchase but pulled out as I discovered waze wasn’t supported. They seem pretty helpful.
I’d be further reassured by someone else here having fitted theirs successfully. The instructions they sent me, while simple, were mostly for Mercedes...!

Thanks for all the detail, I’m glad it’s working for you.
And SIX DAYS from China - that is really impressive!
I’m so torn. Id really like a reversing camera as the rear visibility is what worries my wife most about driving it compared to her focus. Having said that - proper traffic updates on maps would be nice.
What happens if someone calls you and you’re not looking at the right screen? I.e. if it’s bluetooth phone connection and you’re looking at CarPlay, or its via CarPlay but your looking at MMI?
