I’m just using a Mozart zlink interface with the stock touch screen in my 2016.
It doesn't require enabling Siri either.

For the LC200 wondering why these setups aren’t looking at expanding to include a CarPlay interface?
It changed the entire experience daily driving mine.
Back in 2023 we moved the 'boss' (wife) from a '13 GX to a '22 X7 with God's motor the B58. It's a great compromise for us guys who have young kids & can't justify a 3rd car (yet).
The person who designed this system is an IASCA SQ judge & competitor. He said this is how you design a competition quality system; so the VXis only focus on active EQ for the speakers while the Mosconi's job is to produce the best signal possible from the Mozart unit. So, yes? And, yes, I know...
Yep it works as advertised with exception of a few random issues that come up from time to time.
Longer night drives ( > 1 hour) Mozart will randomly set the LCD from night mode to day mode. Correction is to turn off the lights / turn them back on which resets the LCD back to night mode

It's a brand new part that never got installed just sitting in the toolshed (wrapped in plastic for protection)

Mozart zlink was used to create CarPlay with factory touch screen. A good signal came from there that was further cleaned up with the Mosconi before heading to the JL VXi for active tuning each channel.
There is like a 12dB cut on some lows the 18s produce some serious pressure
This post in another thread gives a summary. The thing that really made the difference was the Resonix sound deadening / cabin noise reduction effort. At 85mph my truck is only 1 dB louder compared to a LX600 F-Sport (71 vs 70 db). Once I line the wheel wells to kill the A/T tire whine it’ll be...
Agreed. Once you nail the integration & get the tuning done it's all worth it.

Thanks for sharing this. I'm on the other side of a competition quality (IASCA) SQ build & have quite a few learnings from the process to share. Until I get the time for a post here are a few that might be useful to you ...
