Has anyone fitted their RCF with the Navtool universal CarPlay module? I’d really like some direct feedback from somebody that’s actually used it and installed it in an RCF. Thanks

I have something similar installed. It attaches using OEM harnesses and it has been working great since December 2018. It's from a company called lsailt: http://www.lsailt.com/product/278.html

Any questions?

Hello - thanks for jumping in. That looks to be for android but the principle should be similar. First question, is have you spent any real time with a standard Carplay/Android auto system? Meaning do you understand how it works and then of course, can you call this - the same, inferior or superior to the standard product? Is this a kludgy workaround or a convincing copy?

Forgive my ignorance, but on another Thread here, a Member stated that once the Android Auto Beatsonic system is painstakingly installed, you lose all control of your Audio System via the Steering Wheel Controls? Does this other option retain them, or similar loss?
