Needle in haystack? Looking for wireless carplay with a volume knob
Trying to find a new head unit, but looks like it's basically impossible.
I'm looking for wireless carplay, and has a physical volume knob. Kenwood has a 10" floating one, but it's $1500 CDN. I'd prefer not floating, and under $1000 CDN. To make it even harder, I wouldn't mind it having an optical drive too, but I've already come to the conclusion that I'll likely have to give up on that part. https://www.crutchfield.ca/p_113DMX1....html?tp=73254 Anyone know of anything?

This is what I see as compatible for these cars on crutchfield.com: https://www.crutchfield.com/g_300/Al...ay_@Wireless@_ There's still only the Kenwood options with a volume knob. Even removing the car filter, I still don't see anything else with a volume knob and wireless carplay: https://www.crutchfield.com/g_300/Al...ay_@Wireless@_

I recently bought a brz and was wanting the same thing. I'm not sure what you mean by floating knob but I was able to find this from best buy. I haven't bought one since I just got my car yesterday but it seems like a good option. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/boss-au...&ref=212&loc=1

I thought I had responded to @wparsons question but I guess I didn't. You are correct, there aren't any that I can see that have CarPlay and a knob. There are a couple that have carplay and up/down volume buttons, but no knob. I had inavertently left the Carplay filter off when I did my original search.
That said, the Pioneer I have in my Suburban with the volume buttons along the bottom work fine.
