Looking for a stereo replacement for my truck as it only has an aux port basic radio/CD.

Can you make a recommendation on a Apple CarPlay unit that might have a plug and play connectors?

I saw your YouTube video on head unit replacement so know it is possible just thought I would see what is possible.

Thanks!

Hello Marcus!

My name is Ryan and I run the YouTube department of 2CarPros and I will be more than happy to help you out.

So that video was done on my personal truck. I wanted to have a head unit that could easily plug into my phone for Android Auto and then plug in easy for my girlfriend's iPhone for Apple Carplay. It worked great for that. We just have to swap out USB cables as they are different connectors but that is easy as pie. I left the USB from the radio in the glove box and just switched the cable out when need be.

The Sony unit I selected was after many hours of doing research in a very murky subject. It was so hard to hammer down details but I am glad I spent the money and got something that actually works. I really cannot recommend anything else due to how many knock offs are around that do not work as well.

Here is the link to that unit in-case you missed it:

Thank you so much for watching the videos and coming on here to ask a question! If you have any other questions please let me know, I would love to help in anyway.

Best,
Ryan
