How to get Apple CarPlay

[300bhp/ton]

Hi, looking for some suggestions on how to retro fit something to support Apple Carplay in an older single DIN vehicle.

I've seen a Pioneer single DIN unit with a 6" 'floating' screen. Which would seem to tick all the boxes, but is £300-400 depending where you look.

Was wondering if there was a more budget orientated solution to also consider? Not really after anything all that fancy, just support for CarPlay, so that it can be used for Navigation (Google Maps) on trips. Maybe play a digital radio station via a CarPlay app too, etc.

Anyone got any experience in doing this?

Thanks. Don’t suppose anyone has any links to the head units and adapters mentioned above? Just want to make sure I’m looking at the correct things.

I assume mirror link is just like using the HDMI adaptor on you iPhone to plug into a TV/monitor?
