So I exhausted all simple ways to potentially add CarPlay to my 2016 so one day I realized that my iPad mini would be even better than CarPlay and thanks to the smart case and the metal speaker grill this became and ez choice for me... [I will take better pictures later]
I’m using iPad mini 4 Cellular for 2 reasons
Mini 4 allows for iPad Pro like split screen
Cellular has proper apple maps behavior
Set Screen off through Display Settings - Climate audio etc comes up upon hitting hardware buttons.
Flip iPad up to back up or utilize OEM system
I tried to make it look as stock as possible with a simple logo
And black background for the Home Screen for clean OEM/Carplay look
