Yes there are PLENTY! Kenwood and Pioneer seem to be the most popular. They have double dins with dual zone rear seat entertainment that you can retail in your Denali. I have the 4200 NEX (Pioneer) and happy with it but there are better options, all depends on your price point.

Kenwood, pioneer, alpine, and jvc all offer carplay options and are fully compatible with idatalink maestro to retain all the factory stuff.

What do you want CarPlay so bad for? One of the salesmen we talked to made it up to be a huge deal, it's just meh in my opinion. Nothing I would spring for if it weren't included.

I'm a total techie. My hubby just bought a 2017 Silverado and I love CarPlay. I love having it read an incoming text and then letting me compose a reply. It's easy and fun and guarantees I don't look at my phone at all while driving! But I'm very Leary of messing with my factory set up also.

An aftermarket radio won't cost you 10k+ 
and it won't depreciate the value on your current vehicle either. A lot of the aftermarket units actually do car play and then some.

ive got the kenwood ddx9903 in my wifes 08 tahoe using the idatalink maestro equipment like stated earlier. i was able to retain steering control functions, oem backup camera, xm, and i adapted an oem usb spot below the climate control. this unit has front camera capabilites so i added a camera between the headrest and seat of the second row so my wife can see our 6month old while driving.

I got the Pioneer 4200 NEX and installed myself, purchased from Best Buy. Aftermarket radios are way better than OEM. The radio mazdawg is talking about and the one I have are last year models and still way better than any OEM. Carplay is nice but my best entertainment comes from saving youtube music videos on a usb flash and playing through the carplay usb connection (I have Android). What I'm trying to say is there are many limits made by manufacturer for safety and such which are easily bypassed with aftermarket radios. If entertainment is your concern, there are plenty of options out there. The best thing is HDMI where you can wirelessly mirror your phone or device with the screen(s) in the car. Direct message me if you have any questions.
