Just a quick test to make sure it works, and it does! Forgive the mess, and the janky setup, just wanted to ensure I had all the ribbon cables properly hooked up before going further on this.

Great man, please keep feeding us info about your installation and a quick review once done, I really appreciate it.
Any threads/posts illustrating on how to remove interior trim and PCM?

There are also a pair of videos that are very useful. I'll post up more soon.

Carplay is amazing!!
Had Sidvicious7 came over and tackled the camera and CarPlay. The process, to me at least, was very challenging, with Sidvicous knowing where and what to remove (he did all the work), still took at least a good 8 hours. But along the way, it was lot of fun exchanging notes about the p-cars. What a great day!! Thanks again Sidvicious7!

Where did you guys mount your USB port? That's the big debate I'm having right now.

What shows in the radio mode on the dash mini screen when in CarPlay mode? Aux in?

Where do I keep/placed my USB cable. For my vehicle I elected to place the USB cable in my center console. The install for a fellow Rennlister his choice was to run the USB cable out of the passenger’s side panel. You can also run the cable to the glove compartment. Also, I discovered that the OEM USB port in the glove compartment still functions in a capacity for an iPod and will charge the phone (CarPlay mode is not capable unless the installer modifies the port for CarPlay with the proper USB adapter/cable).

Last week I decided to verify if I can listen to my FM stations and view Waze in the CarPlay mode. I was able to listen to my FM stations while in the CarPlay mode; however, Waze will mute but I was able to read the directions on my PCM display without an issue.
