Re: CarPlay screen

Hi. I've just fitted the 7" Carpuride unit to my 2010 RT. I completely removed the BMW unit and 'adjusted' one of the supplied fitments, cutting off the ball. I drilled and tapped this and bolted it through the OEM mount. I then used the other fittings (straight ball-to-ball thing) to mount the...
