2002 G500

Used Slot A with Fuse tap (provided with the Carplay unit) to power up the unit. It does come with cigarette plug in, but don't like visible cables

Does your G500 have a factory amp underneath your driver seat? This looks like a great solution but I think if you have the premium audio on your car (indicated by amp underneath driver seat) the AUX cable isn't an option. Can anyone advise if my understanding is correct? Thanks!

How does the read camera work, did you have to run wires all the way to the back, if so how did you run them ? Or is the rear camera wireless ?

Thx Karl
