Hi
I'm thinking about doing something very similar and I can see pab567 is experienced in this area so I want to ask. I just bought Skoda Rapid 2017 1.4 with automatic tran.
I was thinking about adding CarPlay to it as it has this Blues system without BT. I decided on buying this: https://www.carpodgo.com/products/t3pro but then I thought.. what if I could buy original Skoda system that has CarPlay and I found this: https://www.olx.pl/d/oferta/radio-wyswietlacz-panel-multimedia-skoda-rapid-2012-2017-5ja919604b-CID5-ID11Lidm.html?srsltid=AfmBOoqO25HjejO8UU0xa7G3RPO1Ph2QW8q2_Mp8HT-EDk92_P80qJN1
Now my questions is: can I actually pull this off meaning I will buy original Skoda system, install it in my car and get buttons on the steering wheel working with it as well as microphone (I need to get it somehow) or should I just pick easy route and buy "CarPlay add-on" like this CarpodGo T3
