How do you like it ? Is it wireless carplay? That’s one thing I would like to have

Yes they should all now pretty much have carplay and AA. I also have a dongle adapter that switches on carplay wirelessly.

Lately I have just been using the regular Bluetooth for the audio and disconnected the adapter because it takes a minute or so to start hearing anything

I am a pioneer fanboi since the 1980s.

The unit I am running although it does have AA and Carplay (I use AA) is now probably solidly 4 generations behind what you can buy current day.

That being said I only use this current head unit for AA and not for listening to music. This isn't a music listening car.

Also using Vettenuts. The finest stock appearing bezel you can buy IMO.

I have the vettenuts bezel as well. I don't have it installed yet as I need to get it painted first. That will happen maybe by next winter. I'll have to have winter projects from now on anyway. I've also been a pioneer guy since the '80's as well. Not sure how I'll get when the time comes.

I got the Boss elite for Christmas. It was the only Nav dvd double din i could find at the time that was less then 1200. I know it not the best. Just installed it yesterday, honestly was very surprised on how well it sounds. Still have to mount the gps ant and install the backup camera...

I got the Boss elite BE7ACP single din and have high hopes it works well. What sold me was the volume ****, I don't want to have to put on my readers just to find the small button that some units have.
Spend time looking at things like: is the clock always displayed on every screen and how easy is the interface to use. Pioneer was what I wanted by the volume **** and layout of the boss sold me.
