                Trooper, 21 Aug 2016I see the funny side to CarPlay, you need an iPhone.That's why this system supports Android Auto as well

                  Seems like several Android Phone makers are starting to adopt Apples technologies. HTC 10 with AirPlay, this with CarPlay

                    divis200, 20 Aug 2016No, you bought it too early.Anyway, I am using Android Auto, so there's no issue. The plus side is, it is an Alpine head unit with KTP-445A amplifier which is one of the best in the market...

                                The ultimate copilot.
                                Available on select cars, CarPlay is a smarter, safer way to use your iPhone in the car. CarPlay takes the things you want to do with your iPhone while driving and puts them right on your car’s built-in display. You can get directions, make calls, send and receive messages, and listen to music, all in a way that allows you to stay focused on the road. Just connect your iPhone and go.

                                It's from official website and I don't see any funny side of this

                                      good as all car head units should be compatible with both android auto and carplay,
