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 (http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/showthread.php?84444-Sound-system-upgrade&p=1358913&viewfull=1#post1358913) 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 (https://www.crutchfield.com/g_182350/In-dash-GPS-Navigation.html#&avf=Y&nvpair=FFBrand|Kenwood)

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.

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...
