I've been in the market for a good Carplay unit with decent audio and I found that Bankstown Audio has a Christmas Sale up for some great units with prices cheaper than I've seen on OzBargain. For those who enjoy configuration and want better sound the Kenwood is a fantastic headunit, otherwise the Sony XAV-AX3000 is a great Carplay unit that has been reviewed well on OzBargain previously.
- Sony XAV-AX3000 ($389 Del.): "Website: This went absolutely mental last time around, so we’ve put it back up to see how we can go. The Sony XAV-AX3000 Apple CarPlay and Android Auto unit with a free reverse camera and free shipping for $389!" Great head unit for those wanting Carplay with some decent Audio under $400 - https://www.bankstownsound.com.au/product/sony-xav-ax3000-an…
