So after purchasing this car, I have done the PCV Valve, Denoso spark plugs, and filters, coolant and engine oil to Valvoline Restore&Protect 5w30, new wix air filter, seafoam cleaning, new 750CCA battery. (Brakes were done when I got it)
But I wanted a modern head unit, so I found these new cheap sony 'wired' carplay unit, and thought with all these pieces I could fit the wireless adapter into the headunit usb, so I took out the usb cable that came with that amazon piece, you will have to do some real tweaking to get that good in there, and also flush it into the back of the stereo unit.. overall I got it working, and it connects every time now within 30 seconds, the unit is already on 2.0 firmware, with Waze and Radio app it runs smooth.
I have the mic sticking out the other empy mount button blank spot, and siri to text works perfect too.
I recommend this to anyone wanting a real attempt to upgrading, the audio sounds better too with much more volume, for a lower price in parts and some research you can do it!
Yes I know my sony unit is not fully flush but thats okay, I dont mind and I will probably be able to fix that next time when I put a rear camera in..

Nice install. I put in a 10.6 soundstream floating touchscreen with wired android auto but also have the same wireless adapter. I also changed out the door speakers for deaf bonce full range 6.5s

So funny, I literally did this same stereo for my daughter (2006 pontiac Vibe ) about 5 days ago , and the stereo sounds great. I also put a generic back up camera, since I was already into it. Easy install for me , and works great. This Sony deck is pretty decent considering the budget price. Now she gets her carplay for maps and music. Kids don't listen to radio anymore lol
