Apple CarPlay & Android Auto: Upgrading Your Head Unit
Adding CarPlay or Android Auto to an older car is one of the highest-impact tech upgrades you can make, bringing modern navigation and voice control to a factory dash.
- Double-check your dash opening size — most retrofits need a single or double-DIN head unit.
- Wired CarPlay is more reliable than wireless on a budget unit; check reviews before assuming wireless works well.
- A steering wheel control adapter keeps your existing buttons working after the swap.
