I've been looking for a double din radio for my gf's car. I see Apple Carplay advertised alot. Can someone explain to me exactly what it is and why everyone likes it so much? Could you also get this with dvd/mp3? She also has an Android phone, so no IPhone for her. TIA.
I’ve always ran kenwood double dins
You got to pay more for the additional features like map’s internet series xm…
The car play is like when you get in your phone automatically connects and your messages and phone calls will appear on your radio so it’s “hands free” same goes for the music and what not pandora etc.
My old kenwood don’t have it but even on the new one in my Silverado I hardly ever use the “car play” I just connect to the Bluetooth and use my phone for everything instead of the radio but a lot of people like the “hands free” stuff now a days.
Both can read dvds and also they got adapters out to hook to your rear entertainment so when you watch a dvd up front it’ll play in the rear also.
There’s a certain “parking wire” you can cut to allow it to play movies while your driving if that’s what you want… lol overall my kenwoods have been excellent I’ve had friends with JVC and PIONEERS that were both good as well but I personally diddnt like them as much as the kenwood also the kenwood you could fine tune your speakers to more detail then what they were able to on their radios.
the only pic I got of my radio I’ll get a model # when I get home if you want it. You can upload photos off your phone or usb along with playing a old school ipod I keep one in my glove box hooked up all the time
