2013 Mazda CX5
I am new to the group I have a 2013 Mazda CX-5 GS. I just want to know if any of you got some Apple Carplay recommendations.. not looking to spend a lot.

*if you replace the head unit will the back up camera still work?
*Will the bluetooth buttons still work?

I am going away next month and I prefer using the Applecarplay vs. cheap GPS.

Thank you
 
For now just get a suction cup phone mount and use your iPhone for navigating (and use Google Maps instead of Apple Maps :p). Mazda is "supposed" to be working on bringing carplay at some point... no sense spending a ton of money making other modifications right now really.
 
He has a 2013, which I don't believe has Mazda Connect and as such won't get the update if it ever shows up.

OP: I had the lowest end Pioneer NEX in my last Mazda 3 before it got wrecked. I quite liked that system, but I was using Android Auto. Not sure if the experience difference with Carplay.
