Just wondering if anyone can recommend an after market CarPlay unit I could install into my 1996 Hummer. My truck has an aging Clarion head unit and 6 disc CD changer. I'd like to replace it with a unit that can do AM/FM and CarPlay.
Any suggestions and/or specific brands to stay away from?
Thanks,
-Matt

I have a Pioneer AVH 4100NEX in my truck and a newer AVH-4201NEX in my Jeep. Both are double din touch screen units that support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. They work great. There are cheaper models by Pioneer that will work well. I bought the two I have because they have removable faceplates.

I was limited to the Pioneer AVH-3300NEX single DIN flipout unit. Works for me and if you are on a developer lease of the iPhone IOS 13 the new CarPlay features are pretty awesome! This unit wishes I could use my truck as a daily driver lol.
