Apple CarPlay relies on an Apple device to work... its the interface software between the headunit and the device.

with CarPlay you can hide the Apple device and use the headunit for nav, music, email, and web, along with a lot more

I posted earlier (#'s 55 & 56) and I've since added a couple of action camera mounts to my Jeep LJ. It was fairly straight forward to fabricate a bracket for each side of the dashboard and mount them using existing dash hardware. I used RAM mounts. The cameras can be taken off quickly and mounted to our kayaks and bikes.

Going for the budget/minimalistic cockpit. All kiding aside all I have right now is an iPhone with GAIA and some other apps and my HAM radio. But Y'all do have some good looking rigs.

Is that a 2018 Apple iPad Pro?
I'm about to get one, myself. Happy with it for an in-car tech solution? What case is that? Thanks.

It is a 11-inch iPad Pro with the otter box case on it (got it last month, so I don't know the year per-say). I haven't had it long, I'm still tinkering with the mount and how I want it face. So far it works great.

Thanks for replying. I'm currently using a 6th-gen (circa 2016) Amazon Kindle Fire HD8. It works, but it's not great for this use case; it's just what I had on-hand. And, while I have nothing against Android, I am well entrenched in Apple's ecosystem, so I am excited for the new iPad. Mounting it might be a challenge for me, too, though. I'm thinking I'll bite the bullet and invest in some RAM mounts.
