Yesterday I swapped out the old JVC h/u for a JVC KW-M740BT and I'm using a Cruz SWRMZ-64C to retain the steering wheel controls. Nothing was wrong with the old one, I just wanted to upgrade to a h/u with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for when I use Waze and Spotify.
I prefer to not have cables hanging out in the open so I cut a hole in the coin pocket and planned on using a rubber stopper to hold the Apple lightning and Android USB-C cables in place, similar to what I did in my son's Mazda3. In his, I connected the phone cables to the USB extensions, taped them off and tucked them under the center console. This is what I was hoping for.
However, my h/u has only one rear USB input even though the description lists "rear USB input
s". I checked the description for the h/u in my son's car and it lists "dual rear USB inputs". So I used the rubber stopper to hold the USB extension cable in place and will just have to swap out the phone cables depending on which phone is plugged in. Not perfect but it will work.
