    (How can I move this thread to Audio and Electronics?) Thx

    My 3rd Gen 2012 was starting to feel a little long in the tooth. I really wanted Apple Carplay. I installed the Alpine iLX-F259. What a joy! Like having a new car!

    Took me about 3-4 hours to install, I soldered all connections. Backup camera works as well as all the Steering Wheel Controls.

    Here is a list from Amazon of all the parts:

    Cool! More than I'd want to spend, but still nice. ;)

    Thank you @jerrymildred, I have had the car 6 years and plan to drive it till it falls apart. :) So it was cheaper than buying a new car! lol.
    Thanks for the info..

    Nice! Is that a 10” screen? How do you like the head unit/ wireless CarPlay?
