Pick CarputechChecked by Vetteroo if you…

• want a model-specific big screen.
• want CarPlay in a luxury car.

Pick Crutchfield if you…

• want install support.
• want name-brand head units.

Our take

Carputech sells model-specific CarPlay screens, but its outside reviews are few and mixed and installs can be tricky. Do not use screens while driving in ways your state bans.
