    Yes, I just installed the CarSync (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CB2ZR6QZ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title) in my 2016 Limited (JBL Headunit). So glad I did it. I did the ABC brand one a few years ago and it sucked. This seems to be great solution for the price.

    Note: I installed it yesterday so havn't put many miles on it. I did get a common issue where the OEM map screen gives an SD card issue and doesn't show map on OEM portion and also looses the ability for things like maintenance tracking. I popped the headunit out last night and re seated all the back connectors in hopes it was just a loose connection.....so far so good. I'll be putting a couple hundred miles on the truck today and tomorrow for a good test. There are a few other quirks with this setup, but is is a pretty damn good solution.

    None of the quirks are anyting close to me wanting to remove this. So far 100% happy camper.
