Our main family car is eleven years old so lacks CarPlay and Bluetooth media playback. I l get around this through Alexa Auto into the car stereo via aux.

I’ve been looking at these CarPlay / Android Auto standalone units that I could dash mount in front of my BMW’s iDrive display. (There’s no where else to really place it).

I don’t want to invest thousands in a new integrated system. Have you, or someone you know gone this halfway house instead and how did you find it?

@rob You can get these units on #AliExpress for <$100. So if you’re unsure, try with a cheap one first.

@rob Why not buy a new head unit from Sony or Kenwood with CarPlay built in? I've done this for under $300 for two cars and it's super easy and improves the quality of the drive immensely. Crutchfield.com is your friend here.
