I would like to get one of those also, but I have an HK sound system in my car, and I don’t think it will work with it.

Why would you replace a quality factory-built unit with a good quality screen with a cheap Chinese unit that was never designed for the car? Unfortunately, most of these radios that come from overseas do not last a very long time on the dashboard due to the heat inside the car. You already have everything you need to get CarPlay – the screen is there, you have the joystick, and basically everything to have CarPlay as if it was factory. I would keep it that way and not change anything, just add CarPlay on top of that.

Nope no one has ever done it. You can verify that by trying to search it here on the forums. LOL

Yes, try the search, I have the same unit.

njaremka, they are supposed to work with the HK system. There is a wire that needs to be connected that I believe powers the amp.

I just purchased one today for my R58. Guess I'll be the guinea pig and will let everyone know how it goes.

We have these here and I can help you with issues and usability as we have a person running this here on his R56 w/ Harman Kardon. We also have the back up cams also.

I haven't tried. It has been in over two years now and I know what speed = what so it isn't an issue.
