I just installed my carplay kit (after having it in garage for months) and recommend anybody with PFL to do it. This kit is called Aurokit, connects via WiFi (after setup via Bkuetooth), has very few connectors (main harness adapter and one display LVDS cable) and works like a charm so far. The kit comes with a ODB programmer that enables your aux function, that is used for audio.
If you want to know more contact Kai at zcai31@asu.edu. He will make you a good deal.
Also, Kai was super responsive when I got stuck, mostly because of my own doing.
I will enjoy that module, was missing carplay in my PFL.

Does it work for Android Auto - no issues whatsoever with the audio on calls?

You can simply reach me through zcai31@asu.edu, or fast reply 213-595-7498!
It's wireless (wifi) and uses factory mic. To other members question it also offers Android bb it have not tested it myself.
Unfortunately, I did not keep install pics but it's a small, flat box like most others. Will test call quality later a but more to answer question above.
Found a pic before I tugged it away
PS: the extra wires you see are for cars w/o OEM backup camera or OEM mic etc. Not needed to connect for our cars except connecting another and digital ground together.

It has Android Auto but have not tried it. The call quality is good - I did a few test calls and they could get me clear and I could her them.
One note: after setup, I reconnected my phone to MB Bluetooth so that I can use it when not on Carplay. The phone steering wheel controls work only for MB phone connection. When in Carplay mode I just use Siri and works fine from what I can tell.
One other interesting thing: I can be in Carplay mode and still use OEM sat radio. I simply control it through the screen between the gauges. Same works other way around - I can play music through Carplay and when I switch back to OEM Carplay music keeps playing until you want listen to OEM radio/sat. Not sure if that is all intended but I like it as listen a lot to morning news on sat radio on my way to work.

Perfect - I reached out to your guy and am buying a unit - thank you
Awesome! Did you end up running any cables to your armrest console? I know some kits require you to run AUX cable there and connect it to one of the USB plugs.

Hello, this kit does not require you to run any cable to the aux port, it's as simple as an extension of the MB car module, all the cables will be connected from behind the center consold

Nothing that would bother me. Not longer than it takes the OEM to connect the phone.
One small none-OEM behavior is when going in reverse (shows backup camera fine) and than in forward the center screen shows "no signal". A quick tab of the back button brings it all back. Maybe something I have not figured out yet. Took a longer trip with Carplay Navigation, Music, and a few messages and all was fine.
Update: the "no signal behavior" I described above is not an issue, just me not waiting long enough. It will switch back after exiting backup camera.

Is there a wireless CarPlay able ... if I have 2019 apple CarPlay?
Hello, since FL comes with carolay as standard, I think you probably would need a converter which plug in the center console usb port and you can connect converter through converter’s bluetooth and it’ll connect to MB carplay, if that make sense for you
