Default Carplay/Android Auto

What are the best current options for getting a headunit that supports CarPlay/Android Auto in a slighly older D4 S8? I've grown rather accustomed to it in my other vehicles and was hoping there was a solution for a 2015 or 2016.

Best,

I've seen this solution but no personal experience. See what you think.

Best,
I just finished installing a navtek hdmi input to mirror my iPhone. closest thing to legit CarPlay as I found for our cars. It's a good option, I think the only option I could find.

There are two kits that I've seen on the Internet, but I haven't heard of anyone on the forum that has installed one:

NAVIPLUS. COM.AU. | Online Store

It would be great if someone installed one of these and did a detailed write-up.

this is what I used. https://naviks.com/i-23993149-2010-2...2Ba8%26go%3DGo

audio via bluetooth, to activate the cdmi input all I have to do in hold down the NAV button. Only annoyance I have is when the hdmi is activated, you have to manual have to click out of the screen when you engage reverse gear. all the equipment is plug and play minus a few power and ground wires. everything fit nice and tight into the glove box where the disc changer would sit. the I ran the lightening cable out from the back of the glove box.
