Just thinking it looks difficult but I want a more modern screen without (hopefully!) having to disassemble 1/2 the dash area.....TIA for your experience/opinion on this. TC

 

not without taking half your dash apart

 

MY17 & 18 had AMi III which came with CarPlay.
MY16 had AMi II which I believe can be upgraded to AMi III at some cost.

For older models there is a company in the UK that has a solution.

It seems to get good reviews.

 

Many Thanks sir- I have found a company in the US that will do all this. https://naviks.com/i-24077140-2006-2...tegory:1149762

 

I have a 15' GT and really want the Aston Installations kit, but I absolutely do not want a small controller to operate the damn thing.

 

Great! I am actually about to purchase the Naviks for my car.....any hiccups for you at all? Easy to toggle thru the icons? Do you recall what you paid to have it installed? And about how long it took? Final question: did you contemplate also buying the Mirror imaging ?

NOT really sure that this option is worth 400 bucks- geez! Thoughts?

TIA!

 

Interesting point. I guess if you have the older dash then unless you have the sportshift you are out of luck.

Mine has the controller in the waterfall which works well. I think AMi II from MY16 has this too.

 

OK - I spoke to the nice folks at Naviks who suggested the following for 'mirroring'....an Apple Lightening Digital AV Adaptor- Lightning to HDMI (49 bucks at the Apple store).....that should accomplish the mirroring piece.
Just to, you know, follow up. ;-)

 

somewhat involved but not difficult.

 

thank you!
