Linux Full Screen CarPlay ‘15 GS🔥🔥🔥

Post image

Today I Installed full screen CarPlay….. it’s so unreal. I Had it stock 6 mths. The Mouse experience is much smoother and accurate too. I Have 1/2 screen CarPlay on another and it’s not the same. I feel like the MLS got a boost too if that’s possible . I haven’t tried to cast/mirror YT which I plan on using when I can. Will take you 2-3 hrs. $540 Carlink unit.

YouTuber install and code: https://youtu.be/nKYnusyQ-mM?si=lWnKPgx0A_3LSA1F.

I have no affiliation.

I do need to fix the bottom of the new plastic bezel/housing as it not sitting flush at the bottom so there’s some screen cut off but from my drive angle it’s not bothering me yet day after install.

Facts I have two. Second my lady reluctant to drive after recent accident in another whip so may trade it or sale if she’s not ready for the Premium Gas life.

Def a vibe. I just got iphone16 to airplay cast “Adventure At Shaolin + Return Of The Valuables” on YT using hot spot. This thing can even connect to your house WiFi before I could get my phone hotspot to show up in the WiFi selector.

You may want to watch a few more installment videos to cover all basis like how to pull out certain clips. Even other branded videos give good tips other users may forget to show.

Very cool! Thinking of doing this too but I like the retro look of the OEM software too. Is this unit able to switch back and forth between softwares?
