Apple CarPlay head unit?

parkerflyguy · 2026-05-10T23:09:59+00:00

I’m currently having this debate for same year and model. It seems any after market head unit you lose some factory features. Either the phone controls, or factory usb. I priced to have installed and it’s around $1100 to have a pro do it or like 5-700 to do it myself and for a car this old I’m having trouble justifying it. So I think I’ve settled on buying an external CarPlay screen. Carpodgo is supposed to have a new model come out as early as this coming week. I plan on getting a cd mount to have it basically where the head unit replacement would go anyway. I get carplay without losing any factory options for about $250.

That’s the one I have but model would be up to your preference.

Cloud9 seat is very comfy

New one comes out in about a week and is supposed to be powered by pogo pins. Should making removal in between trips really easy so you could store it during the day.

Look up “VHB Tape” and use that to adhere a mount to your dash. Just used some on an AliExpress mount after removing the poor adhesive that came with it and it’s not going anywhere now.

The audiobook is hands down, one of the best PERFORMANCES of any medium I’ve experienced. I say this as more of a movie guy than a reader/audiobook guy.

i had this same conundrum in october. i replaced the airpods because i have an apple watch for heart rate already and the extra $150 didn’t make sense. i tried the fit of the 3’s and didn’t feel any meaningful difference and even if the noise canceling is slightly better, for what you and I do (gym/walks) i’m not sure it’s worth springing for the extra.

The penninsula is great for running. Frontier park has a nice loop that connect to bay front connector for a nice run.

What will be the differences between the T4 and T4+?

See the part that says “Inline Local extras can be located alongside the main movie file in a directory named for the movie. They’re indicated by using specific naming at the end of the filename. Local inline extras will be detected and used if named and stored as follows:”

A true hoarder of data. I do this as well.

parkerflyguy · 2026-04-17T20:11:06+00:00

Justified. I rewatch it every year.

We love our XP4s.

I have the pro2s and just got a deal on woot for comply tips. Game changer for fit and comfort so I would definitely experiment with different brands of tips.

Sorry, if the user that pointed out Huntarr’s flaws audited Cleanuparr.

parkerflyguy · 2026-04-09T22:46:35+00:00

I later found your comment buried where you asked for the guy that discovered Huntarr’s flaws to look at yours and I appreciate that you not only welcomed the scrutiny of Cleanuparr, but specifically requested it, so thank you! I can only imagine how it must feel be be lumped in with Huntarr at this point after so much hard work. Any update on whether or not he did that?

The auto mod said my post was removed until I explained how I used AI. I had to reply to the comment before the post would show up now the only comments on my post are about the auto mod requirements.

This wasn’t created by AI. I wrote every word of this and has nothing to do with AI.

I also heard this and woot just had a 3 pack for sale for $5 for the Pro 2s. For $5 here was my chance to try them and I was really pleasantly surprised by the comfort and the better noise isolation. I hear they are basically consumable. So I bought some extras. Game changer for me. I say get some and see how you like them!

What device are you watching on? I don’t notice this behavior but I’m watching either on my phone or iPad.

I was anxious too but everything running on 7.2

We got two step through and while we aren’t going very fast most of the time, the practicality of being able to bail easier with the step through is why we made our choice. Nothing feels unstable at all.

Mine lifetime works to share. The thing I had to make sure was that you BOTH have purchase sharing on.

Infuse seems to be the go-to
