I'm undecided between the Pioneer AVIC-W8400NEX or the Alpine iLX-107 and I'd like to hear which one is best on your opinion and why.
The reason I choose those two ones is because they offer Wireless Apple Car Play and a capacitive touchscreen instead of a resistive one. Is there any other model with these characteristics that you guys would recommend?
Thank you!

I have the AVIC-8200NEX and would recommend against it. The W8400 may be better, but I have no experience with it.
The CarPlay is horrible, constantly locking up, losing connection and just performing generally poorly.
After much procrastination I finally called Pioneer to try and resolve the problems, but no luck. As it's no longer under warranty I'm SOL (my fault for leaving it for so long).
I only drive my RS 1.0 a few times a year now, so I just live with it. If I was doing it again I'd go with Alpine.
Like I said though, maybe the W8400 is different.
