Caught the Bug
Well I finally picked up a new JK Rubicon Unlimited in Anvil, instead of the red I was looking at. After having the 430N Connect unit in my Grand Cherokee wk2, and the RER MyGig unit in my '08 JKU Rubicon, I specifically got this JK without the audio upgrades so I could get a decent aftermarket nav unit installed. I've been considering the Pioneer NEX series head units that have Apple Car Play on them. The iPhone integration seems like a pretty cool feature to have. With that said, this is the unit I'm looking at,

It has nav on it, and Sirius, plus it has Car Play. Has anyone run into installing an aftermarket head unit into a '12 and up JK? How do you go about keeping the functionality of the steering wheel controls? How about the center console USB plug? Can that be tied into the Pioneer unit? Does the factory OEM NAV/SAT radio antenna get used on the Pioneer unit? Do the factory speakers get rewired to hook up directly to the head unit? Or is there a harness that is plug and play for the head unit and existing speaker harness?
I have the base audio package in my JK with no sub. Installing an aftermarket head unit into a JK is new to me. Actually any aftermarket audio equipment is new to me. Thanks for any help.
