I've been looking into replacing the factory unit in our 2015 Sorento with a head unit with CarPlay. Does anyone know if the following features will remain:

1) Connecting an iPhone to the stock USB connection in the front center storage will enable CarPlay?
2) Reversing camera will automatically enable in Reverse?
3) The guide lines that move with the steering wheel when the reversing camera is on will also move on the new head unit, if available?

Essentially I would like a head unit that integrates well, both in looks and function. (I know I'll need to get a fascia kit).

Thanks

    Best off talking to car audio places and getting it pro installed if you want it as factory as possible (ie with factory usb port etc)

    Look at Kenwood's new 2019 models, in particular, the DDX9019DABS, which has Wireless CarPlay.

    1) Connecting an iPhone to the stock USB connection in the front center storage will enable CarPlay?

    There are USB retention factory adapters available, but they can be hit and miss with ACP/AA operation.

    2) Reversing camera will automatically enable in Reverse?

    Factory camera retention adapters are available, yes it will automagically display reverse camera when selecting reverse.

    3) The guide lines that move with the steering wheel when the reversing camera is on will also move on the new head unit, if available?

    No.
