Beautiful CarPlay head unit
I purchased this item a few weeks ago and have been loving it. The instructions that come with the unit aren't that great, but there are detailed downloadable instructions online. The unit is about 3" deep since it does not have a CD reader. This is fine for me because I bought it for the CarPlay, not for CD reading.
The ILX-007 comes in a box with the harness with wiring that is more than long enough, a trim plate for what I'm assuming are custom jobs, a microphone and clip, and an auxiliary cable bundle for reverse cameras and what not.
You will need to wire the parking brake wire to the actual parking brake or to a bypass or it will be stuck on demo mode. Another option would be to turn the car on to accessory mode and touch the parking brake wire to chassis of the ILX-007 while turning of demo mode in the settings. There are other settings that are grayed out without this wired up, but you will have access to all audio settings. I plan on wiring up a bypass later on when I install an amplifier in my car and end up pulling out the harness.
As far as usage goes, it's pretty easy to use if you're familiar with apple products. I like the dedicated Sir button, although I wish there was a way to map a button on my steering wheel to the Siri button. I tried to do this with the PAC unit that I purchased, but couldn't get it to work.
Overall I am very pleased with the clean aesthetics of this unit, the ease of installation (especially for my first head unit install), and the functionality. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who asked for my opinion.
