Carplay for 2013 SL550

I recently purchased a 2013 SL550 and would like to install CarPlay. My research has shown the following options:
1. USB adapter
2. Plug in under dash
3. Replace car radio
My mechanic said that the cleanest approach is to replace the car radio. I called Best Buy and a few after market audio shops and none of them have a conversion kit for the SL550.

Can anybody out there share some insight on how to install apple carplay on a 2013 SL550.
THX,
Bob

You're going to need a third-party interface/smartbox. There are many options out there, but you may want to find an AV specialist for the install.
