CarPlay Unit ? Is this Sh&t?

I'll add Dynavin to this list. Better than the "direct from china" crowd in all ways (sound quality, installation, customer service, all of it), closer to the "alpine/sony/pioneer" crowd, but PnP and easy to install. You'll pay a premium though -- Sony/Pioneer pricing.

maw

ahh yes i forgot, Dynavin would be the sole option solidly inbetween the chinese units and the established car A/V brands.
clearly a direct from china unit, but well sorted with strong stateside support (that's baked into the price)

Its not difficult to integrate Sony, I used Enfig and the list of Sony's are at the bottom of this page. His kits come with all the harnesses, USB plugs, etc. Super clean and easy installation.

i agree with you there, but a lot of folks do not like the double din and huge bezel look on the E46 so they dont consider it well "integrated"
tbh if i had to do it all over again i woulda went with an enfig and double din solution over the Avin i picked. especially since i ended up further builidng out my system (amp+speakers)
