How I enabled full screen Apple CarPlay on my own

Well yes, I do know AIO is for PCM 4, and we're talking PCM 5 here which is a different "more manual" MIB method. That doesn't involve software versions the same as the AIO did. Just Putty in and "hit 5" to run the fullscreen option in MIB tools and that's it. Not updating the software version or anything like that.
Yes, that's the issue I think a lot of people have is the warranty side. I have an Ottocast AA to CP adapter to do it 2/3 screen, but my CPO is only 6 months old now, so 4.5 years left of warranty. And as you can imagine electronics are the most expensive repair sometimes if the PCM has some unrelated fault, just with time/use. The most prone thing to crapping out is always electronics. I know the PCM part itself is over $2k, so with labor double that easy. And certainly would not risk it for 1/3 more screen size absent some data/evidence.
The question is more why the vendors claim their method is warranty safe allegedly vs MIB tools. That's the difference I was referring to really, and how it's different from MIB tools. And what I can find from his prior explanations like https://www.718forum.com/posts/336632/ it's basically "remote PIWIS coding" while MIB is a totally different thing more akin to jailbreaking or rooting your Android phone. If you have PIWIS of course you can do it yourself but most dont want to spend that kind of cash.

Works just fine and you can get one for about $50.

That I don't know. It is still on their site https://www.ottocast.com/products/2-in-1-adapter, but out of stock. I assume they would've taken it down if they didn't sell it anymore; maybe production issues?
Amazon in Canada (Ottocast store direct) still sells it, so they are out there. Idk why not the US
I got one on eBay new though. There were quite a few around $50-60. Or Aliexpress all over.
