I'd like to replace my headunit in my 2011 TT-S with one that has CarPlay. Has anyone replaced theirs? Any problems or issues?

I replaced mine with a pioneer unit, I didn't install it tho but so far not a single problem. The parts are pricy tho.

Do you mind me asking what it cost total?
I was given an estimate for a bout $900 which seemed reasonable to me... but then I started to look more closely and it seemed there would need to be a faceplate of sorts as some of the buttons on the MMI are "outside" of the screen display.
I'm not sure the shop I got the quote from realized that.

it was about $1300 and yeah you need a special kit, I also got steering wheel control and a warranty.

you can get the double din kit and the plug and play kit from Enfig car stereo and a Pioneer 4200Nex

So when you have the CarPlay unit installed, what happens to the buttons and **** that are "outside" of the display? Did they need to create a new faceplate? Or are those buttons and **** abandoned?
Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by the buttons outside they display, the whole unit was replaced with a new one so its just a big touch screen for me.

All of the buttons and dial are outside of the display. It seems that if you pull out everything there would need to be a custom faceplate that could curve back under the unit.

Oh i see what you are talking about, its a kit you gotta get it replaces everything, here is what mine looks like.

Nice!! Thank you--I don't think my dealer realized that a kit is necessary.
