Anyone install an Apple Car Play head unit in the place of the stock receiver in a 2nd Gen (GE 08-13) they like? 2012 Fit? Couldn't find anything here after searching. Thanx!

 

Best upgrade for the money I made hands down. I really just needed something with Bluetooth and wireless CarPlay. The large screen is an absolute plus. got a no named China brand one off of AliExpress. $70 total but had to wait 3 weeks for delivery but so worth the wait. Everything came with it so no need to buy additional harnesses, dash kits or spending time fusing wires together. The install was a breeze and is plug and play unless you adding a backup camera. If you search on AliExpress/Temu etc for 2009 Honda fit apple CarPlay, dozens will pop up

 

That actually looks pretty good. You have a link to it?

 

i just ordered a kit from Crutchfield,, Late next week I'll see how it fits.. Chose a Pioneer with the metra silver kit and a pre built harness to connect the stereo to the body harness.
She wanted. backup camera so thats in the box too, ann apple car play so the nav can be popped up on the Decks 7" display.. . (2009 Base)

 

Jumping in, I really recommend to anyone that buys one of these units to spend a bit more and get an 8 core/4gb ram unit. The cheap included fans on these will go bad and start to make noise, so have a 40x10mm 5v fan to install in the future. I'd also suggest to install the civic media controls on the left side of your steering wheel, I felt like I had to stretch to turn up/down the volume easily.

 

Howd this one work out for you? Any chance you have a link?

 

search it up on ebay, its all cheap chinese radio screens reused on other car trims, search up the year of the car and the put carplay radio, look at the look of the screen he posted, its all usually the same screen *as its just china shit*

but works REALLY good just got done setting one up i bought on facebook off a dude *again ik its just the ebay radio**
and came out SO GOOD and even the head unit boosted the audio a noticable amount! a really good upgrade AND set up backup camera and its a W

im about to get one for my 2015 fit and im going to start making youtube videos and show how to install

 

Has anyone seen Chinese models with a physical volume knob?

 

i love to have a physical knob, which is funny cause honda made the touchscreen version of the radio then in the last versions they added a physical vol knob which is funny,, i do say i have seen a physical knob on 1 version specifically,,

and its the ugly *giant* telsa like radio, but i do no reccomend,, not cause its fucking hidious but its because it covers 1 or both center ac vents -_-

cause why not only be too fucking hige but lets cover the 1 thing that cools/warms you up

 

But over all theres a true alternative and the *best* radio you can get, maybe a good high speed Sony, or a nice Kenwood radio but overall its a honda fit.. a cheap touchscreen radio is perfect and its really good
