Thanks, I appreciate the review. I just ordered a kit today. Other than having a larger screen, CarPlay was my main focus. I'm anxious to see if any of the new CarPlay updates in iOS 12 work.

No need to have all the Google crap loading in the background because again, you're going through your phone.
Overall the car play experience has been good, but the problem that you'll have isn't with carplay or how it all works, but the actual unit itself. It's as though each unit various greatly from each other. I had a gen 1 4.4.4 that would shit the bed every drive. They replaced it under warranty after some convincing to the gen 2 4.4.4 and it's been Rock solid.
Personally, if I were to do it all again I would if carplay was my end goal. This unit is in the same ball park as others that only do carplay. My $0.02
