    The title kind of says it all. I'm interested in replacing my factory head unit on my non-enTune 2014 w/ something that supports Apple CarPlay (or has nav), and if there's something that I can link to an OBDII scanner and pull up engine features on the head unit that would be great too.

    There are some parameters I have that I'm not sure can be met, which is what lead me to create this thread:

    - Retains use of factory backup camera
    - Uses factory microphone for hands free calls
    - Uses steering wheel controls same as factory
    - XM Compatible

    Am I chasing a unicorn for all these additional desires, or does such a thing exist?

    Try the idatalink system. Worked just fine for me with a Pioneer head unit.
