I’ve just put mine in. It was pretty easy to do most of it. I got a local car stereo company to wire in the earth etc (took them 45 mins) as I didn’t really want to do any wiring. I removed the trims / old radio / phone which took about an hour.
Here’s what it looks like with CarPlay / radio and also what comes through on the on-board computer. It just says Bluetooth or USB when using CarPlay.
The fit / colour is ok. It isn’t as fast or responsive as another CarPlay unit I had in another car. I’d say it was worth the money but if you have any OCD or are expecting something worth more than £300, don’t buy it. For me, the Pioneer units don’t look quite right, I bought this as it looks more OEM but the fit isn’t quite right and the colour is out.
