    Default Recommendation for Gen 2 Mazda 3 Apple Carplay/Android Auto + backup camera upgrade

    Hi, i like to replace my stick double din with Apple carplay/ Android Auto, preferrably with backup camera + Navigation. Touchscreen will be better.

    Any experienced user recommendation and where to get in canada? I live in Calgary, will Vision be a good place to go to?

    How much usually for the installation?

    my local shop recommended Kenwood eXcelon DNX6990HD back in 2012 (when I bought my car) and it's very nice. I have a couple of pictures of it in this thread Had some issues with upgrading the software and Garmin maps, but that could have been less painful if I had taken the time to communicate with Kenwood about it.
    Currently Kenwood has 4 offerings available ... you can see them on Crutchfield

    Not sure how much it would cost with installation, adapters, trim piece and rear camera ... also as you can see they range in price from $650 to $1100 just for the deck so really it will depend on your budget.

    online place

    Usually when you buy through the shop you can get a better price for installation. I don't know for sure, I'm doing the installation by myself.

    I have a similar question. I'm looking for an infotainment system for my Mazda 3 2012 GS-Sky.

    I'm looking for the following in a unit
    * Quick boot up time (10 seconds or under is preferred)
    * Wireless CarPlay support
    * Touch screen
    * Volume nob (if possible)

    I'm located in Toronto. Looking for any recommendations for shops and models. Please also note the cost of the unit and its installation. Thanks in advance!

    I was thinking of going to eonon because this retains the interior very OEMish...
