    Looking to upgrade a double din head unit with preferably wireless Apple CarPlay. One thing I’m also kinda picky on, I want a knob for volume, I hate the buttons. Any recommendations, personal experience?

    a bit on the pricey side but I like my stinger. It has a knob for volume.

    I also have the Stinger Heigh10. Wireless carplay achieved with carlinkit5.0 on Amazon.

    For some reason, the usb cable that came with the carlinkit did not work. I wanted a shorter cable anyway and found this cable, which did trigger carplay on the head unit for me.

    There are a lot of bad USB cables out there. I went through 3 bad ones trying to figure out why my carplay connection was unreliable.
