The 2018 head unit sold in the US on the PP Limited only offered Apple CarPlay, but no Android Auto. And I got the phone mount for better integration while driving since the OEM unit was not wireless - it had to be connected via USB to the port below. I wanted wireless to still have all the functionality while keeping my phone in my pocket. Plus, it plays DVDs and CDs, has a built-in and highly elaborate crossover for the OEM speakers which, to my surprise, improved the stock sound tremendously. It also is completely flush and can be controlled by either a wireless remote or swiping gestures - so no finger prints. I also loved the one-piece dash trim. I hated the piano-black trapezoidal trim of the OEM head unit bezel - subject to much glare and dirt. This 200mm unit fits the opening perfectly without the need for the side "space filling" brackets of normal double-din units. It's all just personal preference, I guess. |

Plus 1 for being able to play CD's and for the cross over to give better sound. Live and learn, eh! |

The 2018+ limited US radio does have both Apple and Android. Apple requires a physical connection. Android does not.(have not tested that is what the manual states) |

I have a 2018+ limited and I have to use a charging cable for Android Auto. What page did it say in the manual that Android doesn't need a cable? It would be great to have it wirelessly connect.

drove it the way it wants to be driven. It's against the rules to allow the rpms to drop below 5 grand. (after the oil has reached temp) If you cant watch the fuel gauge drop, you're going too slow.

Put it back to stock. Forgot how quiet this car was when I first bought it. It's been almost 8 years now and I've had the exhaust on it for about 7 years.
