'06 F150 Alpine iLX650 radio replacement

hs actually worked out well, but to use CarPlay, I have to use a cable to my iPhone 11 Pro max… Tedious when needed, but it works…

Now I had this $50 Gift card burning a hole in my pocket, since Father’s Day… And I began to look at wireless links, settled in on a CarlinKit 3.0, so combined with a $38 Coupon, it became irresistible… Be here next week…

We’re driving to Seattle, from SF Bay Area, in October, so a little time to sort out any headaches, but it looks pretty simple, plug n play, one less cable to poke in…

The CarlinKit 3.0 arrived, truly plug n play, popped it in, found it in Bluetooth on my iPhone, and up it came…

To prevent data usage for my iPhone account, I have to flip to the sirius adapter, but otherwise, maps, all the rest of CarPlay just seem to work… Success!
