Carplay AA on w213
it connects automatically.. nothing serious but the box is always connected to the front usb... i use it completely as a phone too.. inserted a sim card.. and gets data etc.. so if someone calls me, i pick it up from that phone (second number - you can setup call forwarding on your regular device) or just use google voice like me..
it is very flexible.
so many software they give such as satellites monitoring.. the only part is the audio - at times gets weird while interacting with multiple apps, but i mainly use it for netflix / prime videos / google photos, and listening to youtube music / watching too...
I got something like that... high end for smooth video etc..
I am pretty sure it will work seamlessly with iPhone because it converts AA to Carplay and renders.... so Carplay for iphone must be native... Am also thinking the bluetooth pairing issues won't occur to you (this was designed with iphone in mind i believe)
