Video applications are not supported by either CarPlay or Android Auto through this module.

The module retains all original factory functions of your vehicle's infotainment system. It also supports the addition of aftermarket AHD front and rear cameras. CarPlay and Android Auto connect wirelessly, eliminating the need for additional cables for smartphone integration. The installation is designed to be plug-and-play, requiring no programming.
